Meeting monday
I could hardly find any pictures of the Nagoya Exciting Car Showdown parkinglot meeting, but the ones I did find showed me the reason why:

Looks like a big meeting to me! 🙂
Same here:

From this perspective it looks like a very big gathering and last weeks videos also implied that.
But from this perspective:

Yep, that’s about it. I guess about 10 to 15 cars were there, so not as big a meeting as last year.
Lets hope it will be bigger next time! 😉
by banpei with no comments yetExhaust of the week: Mark II Kenmeri Soarer sextet
This sharknosed Mark II is for sale on Auctions Yahoo and it has a remarkable sextet exhaust pipes:
Sextet exhaust on a Soarer GX71 Kenmeri Mark II
The seller tries to attract buyers through keyword placements in the ads title: according to the title it is a Soarer GX71 Kenmeri road racer motorcycle gang Mark II. Uhm, right…
Well at least the car isn’t as shabby as its name:

All in all the name actually suits the car after all. 😉
Bosozoku car feature: the Norwegian Epic Jag
A bosozoku style car feature from outside Japan? And even a very un-JDM car? Why?
Well, its just because you start off with buying one of the most typical British sports cars:

A 1989 Jaguar XJS with a 5.3 HE V12 under its hood!
And plan to do this with it:

Now that is a very bold modification! People will probably think it is either not JDM enough or it is a waste of British car heritage, but you can also think it will just take the best from both worlds: a sportscar with a displacement only the current LF-A can come near to and a wicked mad bodykit only the Pythons could have come up with!
Espenis: Everyone on the norwegian car scene that hears about the project think we have gone mad to do such a thing to a classic british sports car – I see that as a sign that we are on the right path – it’s about time Norway gets its first bosozoku..!
I can’t agree more than that!
Bosozoku car feature: Epic Jag
The XJS was bought in Cheltenham in the United Kingdom and driven through Denmark to Norway somewhere earlier this year and the four masterminds behind the boldest Norwegian car modification started stripping down the Jag.
This is also the state the Jag is currently in. They are planning to do the bumpers/lip in fibreglass and the arches with metal.
The also changed the plans a bit:

As you can see hood fins and a big ass spoiler are in planning as well. Hopefully some weird headlight swap will come along the way as well. 😉
If you want to stay updated with their progress, you can follow the Epic Jag here:

Wallpaper Wednesday
To illustrate that bosozoku style cars do not just come out of nowhere: this weeks wallpaper is a work in progress Nissan Skyline C210!

Even though the car is still covered with filler it is still a very beautiful sight: you can clearly see how its lines have been changed to become a kyusha styled C210. 😛
