How deep is your dish?
About a month ago I posted a set of Work Equip 01s:
Deep dish Work Equip 01 15 inch 11J
They had a price tag of 90000 yen ($1000 US), well they are up for sale again with a price drop of 5000 yen ($920 US)!
Go hurry and get them here or wait till the next time they are put up for sale again with, hopefully, another price drop! 😉

Exhaust of the week: zig zag soarer
After posting the zig zag Chaser it is now time for a zig zag Soarer:
Soarer Z10 with Zig Zag exhaust
Car feature: Nissan Skyline C210 Mach 1
Now when I saw this car my first thoughts were not Nissan Skyline C210, but actually 1981 Ford Mustang Mach 1!
Nissan Skyline C210 Mach 1
Everyone who did see the original Gone in 60 seconds knows the looks of the Mach 1 by heart! Okay, it does not resemble the Mustang one on one, but you can clearly see its influences! 😉
However the paintscheme is clearly inspired by Starsky and Hutch’s Ford Torino. So which Ford did inspire this car?
I only wonder about the quad pipe exhaust: would this be a 4 cylinder L16 or L18 Skyline then?

A few years back the Hayashi Sakura wheels were a very rare find! Since a few years these retro vintage wheels are being reproduced in various sizes, including these 12Js:
Hayashi Sakura 14 inch 12J
Sakura (???) means Cherry Blossom. As you can see the inside of these rims have a cherry blossom shape. Sakura is associated with good fortune, love, affection and represents spring. I couldn’t think of any better rims than these!
This set of two has never been used and are in perfect condition. Consider the size of 12J to be as rare as the 7J variants were a few years back. 😉
Apparently they are made of real cherry blossoms: the seller wants 230000 yen (2500 dollars) for this pair!
