FRESHLY BUILT, FRESHLY BENT: Hibino’s 86 crash at Odaiba
14-04-2012 12:41 amIt happened right in front of me as I was watching the practice rounds. DrooP’s crew were still working hard on the car when I left earlier tonight, so I hope we see the car out there again tomorrow. The forecast calls for rain though!

11-04-2012 7:33 pmMy exhaust is nowhere near loud enough to do this sort of thing.
Speaking of that, you should have seen how Team Burst left. More on that later.

10-04-2012 1:55 pmI often receive emails saying that I’m “living the dream” doing all this stuff over here in Japan, but here’s a guy who is really living the drifting dream.

06-04-2012 11:55 pmHere’s a preview of some of the cars on display at the 2012 Nagoya Exciting Car Showdown, which starts tomorrow morning.
I was in there tonight setting up my car on the Missile stand, so I thought I’d run around quickly and get some pics before they kicked us out for the night.

04-04-2012 7:31 pmWhile I was out at Nikko Circuit one day recently, I found Chinen-san there, the owner of this Kisaragi Gold★Star-themed R34 GT-t. I had heard about occasional itasha meetings at a parking area on the Kan-Etsu expressway near my house, so I asked if he knew anything about it.
As it turned out, there was a meeting on a Saturday night not long after that day. Since it wasn’t much of a drive, I thought I’d head out and see what turned up.

01-04-2012 9:26 pmMany of you would have seen this video of Tsuyoshi Tezuka’s old pink JZX81, but did you know he is still sliding a pink JZX? This Mark II is his current personal practice car.
I was out at YZ Circuit yesterday for a Kids Heart event, and went along for an extremely wet and foggy ride. While this car is nowhere near as wild as his 81 was, it’s still pretty decent, with a GReddy TD06-25G on the stock VVTi 1JZ.
これは手塚強のマイカーです!昔のピンクJZX81が覚えてますか?つよぽんはまだJZXでやっていると!

30-03-2012 10:22 pmI visited a Soarer-only drift event at Mobara a little while ago, but some the photos might be getting used in a magazine, so here’s a preview pic of some “Soarer life” for now.
4 CommentsIT’S GETTING WORSE: The latest Kawashima Celica pic
29-03-2012 10:06 pmApparently, Kawashima visited Newstyle and said that Niiyan hadn’t cut enough of the fender, and the wheel wasn’t sticking out far enough. This was the result.
For those who were asking, yes the tyre holds air and no, those aren’t custom double bead wheels, just standard Leon Hardiritt Bugels.
