Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Remember round 2 of the Corolla/Sprinter N2 cup? Rocketpencil just uploaded part 3!
This time it is not just a 15 lap race, but a 1000 kilometer endurance race a the Fuji International Speedway!
The race is seen from the perspective of the TOM’s Sprinter N2 (number 36) which has a camera onboard: Continue reading
Remember the different illustration styles of a JDM Skyline I posted a few weeks ago?
If you do: you’re in luck because there is a second one with only the Hakosuka Skyline KPGC10!
Especially the mixtures are very cool: Skyline+Porsche is simply too bizarre to see! Continue reading
Amazing what you can do with a Kenmeri Skyline, Hakosuka Skyline, Fairlady Z, some photoshop skills and fooling around with different JDM styles:
I especially love the Grand Champ Hello Bosozoku style! ;)

Where do stuntmen come from? Well apparently in the Netherlands they first work on a local junkyard for a couple of years!
Krimson37 taped a bunch of the crashes he made in 1992 and I picked out two involving destruction of J-tin.
Small warning in case you understand Dutch: be prepared for some foul language…
First of all a bright yellow Cherry F10 gets vandalized:
Also at 3:25 you can see a crushed first generation Honda Accord while the camera zooms in… When the guy enters the Cherry he is surprised that it even features a rev-counter.
The second video features a first generation Toyota Carina TA14 seeing some Seibu Keisatsu action:
Such a shame…

Compared to yesterdays RX7 this bone stock Cosmo may look a bit dull. Outside Japan it was sold as the Mazda 929 with a 2 liter piston engine and the 929s from Germany and Switzerland are currently flooding the Netherlands, and this Cosmo HB does feature the Rotary Turbo!
You can also enjoy a Japanese cover of France Gall’s Poupee de cire, Poupee de son (actually Serge Gainsbourg wrote that for her) and imagine you are driving through the Japanese landscape yourself. A added benefit is that the whining rotary actually makes the song even more enjoyable! ;)
I was browsing through some kyusha styled car videos on Youtube and I bumped into this video featuring the owners girlfriend and the Skyline C110 Ken & Mary theme song on the radio.
Everything just fits together: even Mary drives the car nowadays! It’s just like Ken and Mary in 2011!
