KEI LOVE: Big fibreglass hearts
21-06-2011 1:22 amAs a counter to yesterday’s post, have a look at this lovely little Wagon R. Even the spokes in the wheels are hearts. I <3 kei.
I’d like to point out that it’s a guy driving this car. Perhaps his wife took the Celsior that day?

20-06-2011 6:48 pmPretty tough for such a little car.
If you’re in the mood for something a bit more Toyota V8 though, and haven’t already seen it on the Noriyaro Facebook newsfeed, check this video that Motorfix posted of their new 1UZ-powered KE70!
However, if you’re one of those types who thinks that a little FR Toyota like that making a noise that sounds like anything other than a 4A is sacrelige, try Youtube user URC86’s channel, especially this video which contains a little over ten minutes of flat-out nose-to-tail drifting.

Now it’s time for some FF Subaru Rex action!

02-06-2009 12:02 amI get the feeling some people will lose the plot over this post.
“I’m sick of Silvias and Skylines and AE86s!” they say.
“I want something a bit more unique! Something a bit weirder!” they cry.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you kei truck drifting.

07-05-2009 5:00 pmWhen they were first introduced, the Suzuki Wagon R became explosively popular in Japan, and has remained the best selling car in its class.
When they look at cool as this with a simple set of lowering springs and Work VS-KF wheels, you can see why.
The fact that it’s turbo doesn’t hurt either!

21-01-2009 12:30 amNoriyaro is all about driving in Japan, so enough of the Sprinters and Nissans and big Toyotas for now. Have a quick look at the smaller side of going fast, namely the Suzuki Alto turbo.
This red one is owned by a girl down in Okayama Prefecture who doesn’t just cruise around narrow backstreets, but actually thrashes it on the track on a set of little 185/50 13-inch Advan Neovas. The three-piston exhaust note has a very distinct sound, especially when revving to 9000rpm and combined with a miniature blow-off valve.
