A few weeks back Robin Whitfield contacted me if his rat look zokusha Sunny could become a feature on the blog. This may be a strange feature for a lot of you, but in my opinion it is actually one of the most interesting! The bosozoku style is already one big mix of different styles, so I thought: why not?

Robin started out with modifying his Euro Sunny N13 (aka Pulsar N13 in Japan) to rat-look about two years ago and named it Assassin. Lately he got into the bosozoku style, so he started to add several zokusha cues to it!

First he started adding an oil cooler and later on wide arches and deep dish steelies. His latest additions are the side exhaust, metro strap (tsurikawa) and the steelies are swapped for a set of 13 inch Ally cats.

The car is lowered about 100mm and the wheels are 13 inch in diameter and 8J wide. The fender extenders complete the Assassin look!

The bosozoku style combined with the roof rack makes the car an extrordinary mix between the two styles!

Compare the old rat-look with the new rat-look-zokusha… According to Jamie Oliver fusion cuisine is always a good thing!
I wonder what Robin comes up with next! 😉

They really suit this Nissan Gloria 330 well!

This time a very small zokusha meeting: the infamous Chaser MX41 and an unknown Skyline R31 go head to head on the Federal Rd. circuit:
The power difference between the two cars is apparent: the 1JZ powered Chaser literally smokes the Skyline, however that was not their point. They competed in the twin drift competition and became third during the event! And as a bonus this video shows some of the other contestants as well!
How about something different this time? What about a simple shakotan style Celica?
Hot or not? Shakotan Celica AA63
This Toyota Celica is of the later type (kouki) with GT interior, a nice set of deep dish SSR mk3s and lowered in a good shakotan fashion.
