How deep is your dish?

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

I found these not so deep dish SSR Mk1s on the Minkara blog of the owner of the Suzuki Alto Works I posted last saturday:

I have no idea of the diameter, width nor the offset but these tiny Potenza’s are surely stretched to the max on these not so wide rims! ;)

If you can’t get enough of the Liberty Walk wallpapers we posted before, how about this G-nose Fairlady Z?

Meeting Monday

Monday, April 26th, 2010


A zokusha meeting between a JZX71 Cresta and a sharknose R31 Skyline on a driftcourse can only mean one thing: FUN!

Later on a couple of other GX71 and GX61 join in to share the fun! At the same time you can hear a motorcycle revving some tunes in the background of this 10 minute video.

There was also some in-car footage posted on Youtube of the R31 and JZX71. Here is the R31 in-car video:

And here the JZX71 in-car video:

Exhaust of the week: double piped Alto Works

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

After last sundays Alto Works zokusha I started looking for more! And I found one example that’s even better:
Double piped exhaust on Suzuki Alto Works

That double pipe would normally not be higher than the roofline, but on this Alto Works it certainly is almost twice as high as the car itself!

Hot or not: more than 1 million Suzuki Alto Works

Friday, April 23rd, 2010


Even though I accidentally posted a wrong picture with last weeks Silvia S13 still 78% thinks it is hot! Can’t agree more with that!

This week we have a Kei bosozoku car: a more than 1 million reworked Suzuki Alto Works!
Hot or not: reworked Suzuki Alto Works
Hot or not: reworked Suzuki Alto Works

Well, no doubt the owner put a lot of effort in this little Alto: a set of 13 inch 7J and 8J SSR Star Sharks (Sutashaku) with 165/65 R13 tires stretched around it, big lip, godfather horn, 80s racing paint scheme, rollcage, four point seat belt and a tiny momo steering wheel.

But I doubt that all that together was worth, like the seller says, over 1 million yen. Maybe back in the 1994 when this car was bought new?

Anyhow, it is not about the auction, it is about the car… A little reworked Alto Works, hot or not?
