Picture of the week: starsharked Japan
Only a picture of the nose of the car?
Well, do you need more than that? There is so much win in only the nose of this Skyline C211 Japan:
1. Oil cooler lines sticking out of the grille and going back into the bumper!
2. Super Silhouette-like hood fins
3. Star Sharks
4. Typical early-Eighties Advan front air dam
At the rear it is a bit less exciting:
Only an Advan boot spoiler and a tsurikawa. 😉

Most Leopards transformed into kaido racers involve the older F30, so seeing this odd colored Leopard F31 with an set of fender flares and an oil cooler attached to it made me very curious on how it looked from a different angle.
Unfortunately I haven’t found another one so far, but nevertheless wanted to share…
Picture found at in Ka Ry’s photostream at Flickr. (Definitely worth browsing through his streams!)

Not that this Soarer is seriously modded, but the blinded headlight and horns sticking out of where the grille is supposed to be is a good sign!

Finding this Red Bull Racing liverage at the Tokyo Auto Salon just made my day! Not only old Granchan paint schemes are copied but also the modern ones.
I don’t think it is a copy of the Formula One, but what else does carry this liverage? Could it be the Red Bull Racing Nascar? Or maybe Rhys Millen’s Hyundai Pikes Peak that got copied?

In Japan the Mazda Miata / MX5 (NA) is known as the Eunos Speedster. Apparently the owner of this Speedster thought it wasn’t speedy enough and hacksawed a kaido racer trim around it!
I do have a split feeling about this: one part of me shouts what a cool thing! and the other part of me shouts OMGWTF?! and another part of me is just longing to see more of this monster!
