Congratulations Yoshinori Koguchi, winner of the 2009 D1GP Exhibition Round at Odaiba.
Koguchi’s car looks more like a red banana than a 180SX now, as he had a little t-bone accident with Kawabata, which he luckily came away from with just panel damage and drove through to win.
Second place was Masayoshi Tokita in the Goodyear Zero Crown, who drove the massive Toyota ridiculously well all day, skimming the foam block wall on almost every run with his police lights flashing, becoming the crowd favourite as a result.
On another note, sorry I haven’t been updating with longer posts recently. There’s been a lot of other work to do, and not enough time to go over pics I’ve taken for the site. Everything should be back to normal next week.
Until then, I’ll update the Twitter feed with anything interesting that happens tomorrow at D1!

Skidmarks that long usually mean you’ve had enough time to think about what you did wrong, what you should do next time, and to size up the dirt wall in front of you to see if there will be a next time or not.

Here’s a one-shot of a Hakosuka’s tough profile for my buddy Kevin over at Japanese Nostalgic Car blog, who has been having a bit of the hate part of the love/hate relationship with his own Hako at the moment.
16 Comments…we heard you like cars, so we put a Honda Z600 in the back of your van so you can drive while you drive.
Remember Tomonori Akai’s purple AE86 hatch? After cracking the crankshaft of his 10,000rpm engine clean in half, he bought this turbo 86 we saw at Tsukuba circuit, transplanted the engine and replaced the transmission with a Toyota W55, replaced the diff with a 7.5-inch item bought from C&Y Sports.
So what happens when you run an industrial laser cutter all day? You make neat custom panels to fit your Defi gauges and other bits and pieces.
I can’t say I’ve ever been a fan of the Stagea, and part of that because of all the people who go frothy at the mouth as they go on about how it’s really a Skyline but it’s a wagon and how awesome that is.
It should just be taken on its own merits, such as how good it can look when lowered on some wide and shiny wheels.

I’ve been doing a bit of part-time work recently helping out on Best Motoring video shoots. Pretty cool eh?
This is part of the video collection at the best Motoring Office. Two or more copies of every issue since number one, with a lot of them still in the original plastic wrapping.
