Japanese Autosport Festival: the bombs!

There are lovers and haters of the stickerbomb style and I happen to be somewhere in between. If applied in a good fashion I like it a lot, if done in a wrong way I definitely hate it. Given this phenomenon popped up one and a half to two years ago I think we’re currently at the high of the trend, so there is hope for the haters. šŸ˜‰

Anyway, here is a selection of cars I found on the Japanese Autosport Festival with stickerbombs!
Stickerbombed Mazda Miata
First of all the Miata of which I posted up a bombed flip up light before. All round this car was applied with various stickers, but the bombs were concentrated around the flip up lights. I love it this way: it is easily reversible and not overdone.

Speaking of flip up lights, this is a closeup of the other light: Continue reading

Wangan Warriors meeting 10: Girly cars!

Car meetings are generally visited by boys (and their toys) but lately I do see more and more girls visiting these meetings. Some of them also bring along their own (tuned) cars.

I featured this Suzuki already in the stickerbomb posting, but nevertheless it is a girl’s car:
It's a girls car!!
Hello Kitty stickerbomb: it can’t get more girly than that!

It was not the only one around: this Honda Civic was also marked with the same It’s a girl’s car sticker:
It is a girls car

This is how the car looks as a whole:
Girly Civic

So what does she do with Pedobear then?
Girly Civic

The Civic was not only covered in flowers on the outside, the inside was well treated as well:
Civic Steering wheel
Not really my cup of tea… šŸ˜‰

That’s it for the Wangan Warriors meeting 10. I really enjoyed the meeting and will certainly go to a next meeting as well!

Hilarious: Yanni Civic

Maybe you already saw this seventh generation Honda Civic on Jalopnik yesterday, nevertheless I really need to repost it:
Hilarious: Yanni Civic
Hilarious: Yanni Civic

Yes, not only is it the ultimate posermobile, it also got a name now: Yanni!

Why? Because it has got a Yanni record behind the rear window:

And it is not only a Yanni record that makes this Civic great, the options list is longer than the hit list of Yanni:
– Chrome Honda logo on rear window
– Yellow brake calipers
– Hood scoop
– Fake hood vents
– Fake hood vents on the rear fender
– Fake chrome locking mechanism
– Chrome Honda logo on the bumper
Do I need to go on? šŸ˜›

Video: 1984 Fuji International Speedway 250km

I found this very good amateur video of the 1984 Fuji Gran Championship at Fuji International Speedway where a bunch of Sunny B110s, Sunny B310s, Starlet KP61s and first generations Honda Civics battled the TSA class 250km race. The competition is fierce and you can enjoy an 8 minutes spectacle of bumps, spins and drifts:

BTW: at 3:37 an unidentified car is going through the corner on 3 wheels. Anyone got an idea what car it is?
