Brilliant: Super Silhouette Eurobeat!

About thirteen years ago I discovered Eurobeat through JDM games and a well known animation series, so from time to time I get Eurobeat cravings and hunt Youtube for background music at work. Today I found this great mix called Super Eurobeat Winter Crazy Racer Version:

Yes indeed the background picture contains the original Super Silhouette Tomica Skyline KDR30 with a kaido racer knock off photoshopped (or should I say MS Painted ;) ) next to it.

Commercial time: Royal Crown shadow

What image would be even better than this Toyota Crown Royal Saloon MS106 to show the awesomeness of the five spoke Techno Shadow rims?

To be honest: I can’t think of anything!

Even with todays yen rate these rims would still be around 400 dollars per wheel new. Sounds like a very good investment!

Carina Sightings: Carina AA63 at NCML drift event

Unfortunately nobody sent in any comment with the location and trackname of the circuit. The offer still stands and you can send in your guesses till next week!

In this video you can see it busy keeping off a bunch of Levin AE86s, a S14a and a S15: Continue reading

Shakotan Civic on Hayashi Streets

Three weeks ago I posted this Honda Civic in my Down on the Street regular. Back then I assumed that Hayashi Street rims are so rare and hard to find in the Netherlands that they were the Rota Shakotan knock offs.

His Civic is lowered so much we had to meet up down the road as his Civic probably would have hit the speedbumps. In the end the spot itself turned out to be a very nice background. :)

A picture to prove the wheels are genuine Hayashi Streets: Continue reading
