Hot or not: shakotan Celica AA63
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.
Exhaust of the week: Y shaped exhaust
A few weeks ago we posted a Y30 at TAS 2010 with some wild exhaust pipes. Well, I found another picture of the car and it turns out to be no Y30, but a 430:

Must have been the Y shaped exhaust that changed the 4 into a Y! 😀
Hot or not: Sharknose Mark II GX71 Grande
Last week almost 90% thought the Zig Zag Sharknose Soarer was hot. So what about this sharknose Mark II Grande then?
Hot or not: bosozoku style Toyota Mark II Grande GX71
Big sharknose, lowered in shakotan boogie style and some nice SSR mk3s.
Hot or not: bosozoku style Toyota Mark II Grande GX71
Also features some (mild) double exhaust pipes.
So what do you think? Hot or not?

Okumi from Thailand sent me the pictures of his Thai zokusha: a 1972 Nissan 240Z!

He owns the Z for seven years now and he is slowly turning it into a genuine zokusha!
Okumis Nissan 240Z zokusha
This (and previous) picture was taken at the Bangsan Classic Automobile Festival, held on the 27th of february, showing his latest addition: a new sky tailpipe!
Looking at the immaculate cars in the background it sure must have given quite a shock for the other attendees! 😉

Okumi also uses his 240Z for the occasional trackday, so it is not only meant to look good but also meant to act right on the circuit!

Apart from the sky exhaust pipe the 240Z was given an oilcooler, police lights behind the grille, fender extenders and a set of 14 inch SSR mk2s!
Unfortunately this is as low as he can go: the Thai roads are not as flat as the Japanese, lot’s of bumps and potholes! It doesn’t matter: the car looks already great!

And this is the proud man himself!
Great car, Okumi! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
