Earlier this week, I drove down to ST Garage to sign up for the annual 1JZ Meeting, and also headed out to Umihotaru last night for the 7/7 RX-7 meeting. I took pics, but they aren’t quite ready yet.
Until they are, enjoy this matte black JZX81 instead.

Just like how lions and gazelles share the same waterholes in Africa, D1SL machines and kei vans sometimes share the same fuel pumps in Japan.
Yuusuke Kitaoka has a boring daily driver as well, but prefers to also use his 600HP 2JZ Mark II to drive and watch his friends at drift events, visit his parents’ house and sometimes pick his girlfriend up from the train station.
“It’s really embarrassing when he does, because everyone stares at us!” she said.

I was heading home from Fuji Speedway D1 on Sunday and stopped at the same spot. Too bad the weather wasn’t as good!

You might have noticed that I haven’t really been doing much driving recently.
I hope to correct this.

I received a call the other morning from Yuusuke Kitaoka asking if I’d like to go and watch some of his friends driving at Okegawa Sports Land.
Since his car has no rear seat, and his girlfriend Yuki was coming along too, I had to drive there as well. This wasn’t too much of a problem as far as I’m concerned, and Yuki actually ended up riding in my car anyway because I still have a comfortable factory seat on the passenger’s side.
Yes, his car does actually have registration, if you were wondering.

Here’s a demonstration by D1 Street Legal driver Yuusuke Kitaoka on how to take the judged hairpin at Tsukuba Circuit.
First, come in with as much speed and angle as you can.

Some of you have been asking if I have picked winners for January’s competitions yet. I haven’t picked the exact winners yet, but I’ll announce it on here when I do.
In the meantime, here’s some pics of a bunch of JZX owners who met up at the Tokyo Aqualine Umihotaru parking area recently.

I really like taking photos, but I like drifting too. The one thing that’s pretty much impossible to do though, is combine them both and take a decent panning shot of yourself while you’re drifting.
A whole lot of static photos of the Mark II would be kind of boring, so Andy from Powervehicles recently supplied me with some pics that he took on Ebisu’s Nishi Course and at Nikko Circuit.
