New look and feel!
Sorry for the lack of posts in the past week, but I was very busy on recreating the whole site in WordPress! So bye bye Drupal, hello WordPress! 🙂
In contrary to Banpei.net I decided I could only relaunch the whole site with all posts and images migrated and worked very hard on a conversion script from Drupal to WordPress (lucky that I’m doing such things as a job already, so I’m experienced with that!). It may be loading a bit slow compared to the old site, but I’ll work on the optimization in the upcoming weeks.
If you experience dead links, wrong content or any other weird things: please let me know!
Hope you like the new look and feel of the site! 🙂
Remark: I made a big mistake and forgot to change a config value causing nobody to be able to comment. Everything should be fine now!

What do you get when a white Cresta GX71 owner meets up with three white Mark II GX71s?
This amazingly cool meeting video!
How deep is your dish?
I found this beautiful kyusha kai Nissan Bluebird-U at the Dual Factory BBS. It features a set of deep dished steelies that are at least 9J wide!
Deep dish steelies on a Bluebird-U GTX
As you can see this Bluebird is the almost unobtainable GTX featuring a stretched nose to facilitate the 2 liter inline six. Amazing car!

Remember this one from somewhere?
Toyota Crown Majesta UZS140
You are right: we featured it once before in the Guess the Kaido Racer and it was guessed correctly as a Toyota Crown Majesta UZS140. I found this photo somewhere on a blog I was visiting and remembered it again. Thought it would be nice to share how this car looked when it was still in full glory. 😉

Back in 1990 when the big black VHS tape was still the distribution channel for (car) video magazines it was Daijiro Inanda who created Video Option and Iwahashi Kenitirou Kamikaze Road. Of course most of these tapes were later on either overwritten with some soap series or thrown away in the garbage.
Lucky for us there are some people who actually take the effort and digitize these old tapes and put them on Youtube. Enjoy 13 minutes of 1990 kaido racer madness!
Funny to see that Team Madonna was making similar insane creations back then as they are currently still doing!
My personal favorite was the Mercedes cabrio replica (done with a Mark II Super Lucent GX61). Which one is yours?
