Tetsuya Hibino’s character on D1 videos might be one of a rude, slang-talking tough guy, but in reality he’s anything but hard to talk to. That is, if you can understand his rapidfire “ittara” Nagoya accent and can keep up with his dictionary-like knowlege of the Toyota AE86 and how to drift it.


Let me read your mind: “I wish my garage looked like that.”


Just in case it wasn’t obvious enough in the first picture, this is the famous “jumping car” from 2004 Ebisu D1 Grand Prix that came second to Nomuken’s Blitz works R34 GT-t after a couple of re-runs.









The duct tape reads “TRD five speed”, “TRD five speed, third gear broken” and “TRD five speed maybe”.

    awesome toe socks

    He actually asked me if you could buy these in Australia. I didn’t have the heart to say “not unless they were in rainbow colours for little girls”.

    Tough guys wear toe socks. You heard it here first.

    Also, unlike many other Japanese workshops, he keeps the shop’s office a shoe-free zone, which explains the choice of footwear.

    The workshop definitely has a lot of character.
    I really like how everything is on “display” it looks so cool.
    The car looks hard as hell too. Lovely.

    Hibino looks like a 90s California surfer bro; Japanese spec.
