A while ago, Noriyaro reader Jon said in the comments section “That’s why I tell people, the moment you take your car onto the track, consider it totaled. It will save you some tears later.”
Still though, that was a damn pretty Soarer.

Once again, it seems like every other day I’m at Nikko Circuit. Before the Tochigi Baka Matsuri though, it was a Shino Kouba workshop practice day.
After heavily crashing her last AE86, Shino has moved all the suspension bits and pieces into this new black Levin while the old engine gets sent off to be refreshed a bit. It might look nice, but it’s pretty rough underneath. The pink pinstriping, done by female painter Kana-chan, helps a bit though!

Tochigi Idiot Festival! Sounds like the perfect name for an event like this. I was all set to enter this year’s Tochigi Baka Matsuri, but my car is currently not in the best of states. Ever heard a 1JZ idle like a ported rotary? More on that later. As a result, I had to travel up to Nikko by public transport, which didn’t take too long, but didn’t exactly motivate me to get out of bed too early. That means that I didn’t arrive until fairly late, so I only took a few pics at the end of the event.
If you haven’t already seen them, make sure you have a look at the part one and part two articles of last year’s event, since they contain a lot more photos and give a much better idea of the event.
Here’s Watanabe-san from Tommy Factory doing his best bosozoku hakonori (window riding).

The latest drift Tengoku DVD came out yesterday, and it contains the all-foreigner G1 Grand Prix event segment that I posted about last month.
Benny Mack asked what he should do if his car didn’t have enough power to link the course. Kumakubo responded by making a violent kicking motion with his left foot.

More bits and pieces from the pits at Gurachan D in this post. I take it some of you may already be familiar with this car. Kunny left some incredibly black lines all around the circuit in the demo runs.

Here’s the desaturated, dreamy-looking photo that you’re supposed to have in a car blog these days if you want to be cool.
Enough of that bollocks. Let’s get on with the proper photos.

“My driving kind of sucks today.” Haruyama said.
It’s all relative, I guess.

Monday was a public holiday here in Japan. “Kinrō Kansha no Hi”, otherwise known as “Labour Thanksgiving Day”.
I couldn’t think of a better way to spend it than to “do work” at the Car Modify Wonder soukoukai at Nikko Circuit.

As I said before, it seems like every event I’ve been to recently has been rainy.
Well, at least it’s easy on tyres.

Good morning!
Just like last time, I spent the night in the car. The Mark II is a bit roomier than the Skyline was though. That’s an orange tarpaulin over the windscreen, if you were wondering.
