Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

In this case the Suzuki Every Wagon Joypop is modified with a set of black fender extenders and SSR Mk II rims to meet up with the kyusha kai style.

I wonder what mastermind came up with the name Joypop: it sounds a bit wrong in my ears. ;)

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

This week we got a Soarer GZ20 with victory pipes and in good kaido racer fashion the exhaust tips are left blank.

I just love the sharknose and the paint job: just look at all that vinyl wrap! Must have taken hours to apply!

No idea if this little Civic actually was a race car or if it was a Super Silhouette racer, but it surely is an impressive little bugger!

The fenders have been extended to fit the deep dished SSR Mk II rims. Also a “sensible” aero package has been fitted, so who knows…

Finding stuff on Auctions Yahoo is easy, but finding rare gems like this Skyline GC111 is an oddity!

Just look at the work that has been put into this car! Don’t think of it as a Skyline GC111 but as a piece of art!

Two-tone black/silver paint, widened fenders, chin spoiler, deep dish SSR Mk. II (not included in the sale), Cherry X-1R tail lights, twin exhaust, ducktail spoiler and the list continues for a while…

Also the engine was swapped for a L28 unit

Personally I’d say this car is priceless… But of course everything has a price, in this case 1.6 million yen (20000 US dollars) which is still a lot of money but IMO quite cheap for a kaido racer in this state!

Friday video: pimped Mark II MX41

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

A walk around this black shakotan Mark II MX41 by its owner reveals that it has been pimped a bit with white leather seats and checkered carpets:

But apart from the SSR Mk II rims the bosozoku theme remains in the chin spoiler, tsurikawa and the huge (column) shifter.
