How deep is your dish?
What is more kyusha than a really deep dish set of RS Wantanabe rims?
Two 12J wide 14 inch RS Wantanabe rims
RS Wantanabe was one of the first alloy rims manufacturers in Japan and these 8 spoke rims have been manufactured since the start of the company in 1968!
Deepest lip on RS Wantanabe possible
These rims are the widest RS Wantanabe wheels available and have an offset of -57! I wouldn’t buy these rims in this auction: they are damages and two new rims bought at the factory cost less than these two!
You can find them for sale here:

Popular Bosozoku cars: Toyota Mark II platform
Most of you probably already saw a video posted by white_raven in the comments of last weeks rare popular bosozoku cars posting
Well this video is actually the first of a set of 3 videos about the Toyota Mark II platform. It starts with three bosozoku styled Mark IIs (RT72, MX31 and GX71), a clean tuned Mark II (JZX90) and finishes with the Verossa JZ110 drift car.
Part one contains last weeks bosozoku styled Corona Mark II RT72 and the first part of a bosozoku styled Mark II MX31:
Good detail is that this RT72 has the 8R engine and not the 8R-G, so it is not the GSS model.
Part two contains the second part of the Mark II MX31, the bosozoku styled Mark II GX71 and the clean tuned JZX90:
Note that the GX71 did get a 7M swap, so actually it became a MX71.
BTW: I love the way the tsurikawa is dangling behind the MX31 at 0:25 and scraping over the highway: the only correct way to make use of a tsurikawa! Anyone got a spare one for me? 😀
And part 3 contains Hirota’s 2007 JZX110 Verossa drift car:
So a big thanks to white_raven for finding these videos!! 🙂
Hopefully these videos will stay on Youtube for a while, but I’m afraid they will disappear very soon…

This is a very special meeting: a drift meeting!
Apparently some bosozoku guys joined a drift event and smoked some tires with the drifters:
So the bosozoku don’t always just rev their engine endlessly and only do straightway races: they can drift as well!
Last weeks poll results
Last weeks poll almost ended in a tie, but it just favored the headlight swap above the originals…
This week we have an easy one: big paintscheme or keep it one single color?
Big classy (vinyl) paintscheme on a Mark II MX41

Exhaust of the week: big trumpet
This week we have a picture by knuckles.tv:
Big trumpet exhaust on this Soarer
The picture of the Soarer was taken at the HotRod 2008 and the Soarer itself was from the Kanto prefecture.
