Random: Every Wagon needs a Joypop!
In this case the Suzuki Every Wagon Joypop is modified with a set of black fender extenders and SSR Mk II rims to meet up with the kyusha kai style.
I wonder what mastermind came up with the name Joypop: it sounds a bit wrong in my ears. 😉

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!

According to the poster somewhere in 1981 at the Fuji Grand Championship these photos were shot outside in the parkinglot. Now thirtyone years later they emerge on Youtube as a video with suitable late 70s/early 80s disco track underneath it!
Looking at the Celica XX makes me believe either a brand new one was treated the kaido racer style or it should rather have been a bit later in the 80s.
Anyway, that doesn’t stop us from having fun with the video: (video on the next page!) (more…)

This week we got a Soarer GZ20 with victory pipes and in good kaido racer fashion the exhaust tips are left blank.
I just love the sharknose and the paint job: just look at all that vinyl wrap! Must have taken hours to apply!

Photoshops always make your dreams come true: I always wondered what a modified Civic Type-R would look like… And this is it:
Okay the end result is not 100% realistic, but at least the hoodfins, oil cooler and blistered fender flares should be realistic enough? 😉
