Picture of the week: Shakotan Bluebird 910

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012

This Bluebird 910 shows you how a few simple adjustments make a perfect shakotan car:

Deep dished rims, cut springs to get it as low as possible, attach a (small) oil cooler to the bumper, air horn and a heart shaped neon light where the grille used to be.

Caught in the act: a Dutch kaido racer!

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

After almost two years I finally had the chance of meeting the owner of this Suzuki Alto SS40 in person!

Only an Advan boot spoiler and a tsurikawa. ;)

Photoshops always make your dreams come true: I always wondered what a modified Civic Type-R would look like… And this is it:
