Remembering Japanese cars from the past
JRotaro posted this very funny video of a guy doing air drifts in the Nikko Circuit paddock/bar. Especially the AE86 (NA 4AGE) is spot on and the JZZ30 is simply hilarious! What else can you expect from a group of drifters who solely breath through their 4AGEs! :D
I suspect it is 86jnosakuretu48te who did this marvelous performance. ;)
jrotaro did post a few vids of the AE86 air drifts before:
This video shows what the average hachi roku enthusiast will drool over: 4:25 minutes non-stop hachi action on hachi-roku-day at Fuji Speedway!
Anyone actually able to count them all? I lost track at a certain moment and my guess is somewhere near 30!

Happy Hachi Roku day! :)
Like you probably know or already read/heard it is today hachi roku day!
What is hachi roku day then? From Japanese hachi translates into 8, roku into 6 so in other words: 86. Today it is August sixth. Get it? If you are from Europe probably not, but in Japan and the US this date reads 8-6, hence it is hachi roku day today! ;)
To celebrate hachi roku day I have some funny AE86 videos for you today! Let’s kick off with the AE86 dry run:
So how about a Corolla E80 FWD vs RWD commercial comparison? South African FWD:
vs US RWD:
If it were for the moonwalks alone I’d surely pick the FWD!
Now how about the epic old man George doing donuts?
And to prove the hachi roku can also be cute:
hachirokuuuuuuuuuuuuu! :D
I think I still have to give some education on my son: he claims my Carina is a racecar (yay!) but he can’t say roku-rei yet!
I just uploaded all worthy pictures I took at Japan Classic Sunday 2010. I haven’t commented them yet but I surely will do that in the upcoming week. I’ll also start posting pictures from the meet now and then. Let’s kick off with some highlights!
Trip to the JCS 2010
The trip to JCS was already a highlight! Five old/youngtimers cruising on the highway and of course we could all keep up with modern traffic. Only the TE71 (currently an AE71 with 20v blacktop) had some difficulties now and then: who says a blown headgasket can keep you from going to a meeting? So he just filled up that radiator with some water now and then… ;)
Double Beat!
These double Honda Beats sure look great! If you read my blog regularly you will recognize the red Honda Beat as the one I posted in the DOTS a few weeks ago! I spoke to the owner and he has an extensively large collection of cars and motorcycles and does indeed owns the FJ Cruiser. More on that later!
German Corolla AE86 in Haselbeck trim
What’s so special about this German AE86 except for its AE86 vanity plate?
German Corolla AE86 with 401k on the odo!
401k kilometer on the odo meter? Indeed: I spoke to the (young) owner who bought it only three weeks ago from the first owner! The first owner had the car for 27 years and drove 400k kilometers with it and then sold it off to this young lad. From the sound of the engine that 4AGE was still purring like a kitten! :)
More highlights tomorrow and on Saturday! In the meanwhile you can already have a look at the pictures here:

What’s more 90s than visiting the Fuji International Speedway circuit with your friends? Especially if most of them own a sportscar?
Fuji Speedway International visit
Yes, that’s a whole bunch of AE86s, a Celica XX, a 280ZX and…and… a Sprinter AE82? And is that a female driver next to the panda white Levin AE86?
Definitely a picture worth keeping in your family album! :)
Found at ????????
Found some drifting footage of a preliminary for the middle cup in Sekiasakitto.I have no idea who this guy is, but his lines in the Trueno are really aggressive!
I love the sound of that 20v revving through the corners!
Now if only I could find more of this guy! ;)
