Last friday we featured a video of an almost perfect Tomica Skyline RS Super Silhouette immitation. After a wild goose chase I managed to find some pictures of this wonder:
Perfect Tomica Skyline RS immitation
And believe it or not, this picture was actually taken at a Porsche meeting in Nagashima!!
On this picture while unloading the car you can see its profile a bit better:

If you pay good attention and compare it to this picture of the real car (posted before here) you can see that my remark was a bit off:
The real Hashemi Tomica Skyline RS Super Silhouette
I remarked that the wheels were too small, but that is not the case: the real one appears to have a much higher roofline. This was done to comply to the rules of Group 5 which required to retain the roofline of the car. Other parts were allowed to be altered as long as the silhouette remained the same. Hence the lowered bonnet, fenders and trunk.
Another difference are obviously the headlights and lack of hoodfins:

This picture was taken inside Hide’s garage.
The rear is a copy of the early model:

But since there are so little pictures of the rear of the car it can only be guessed that it is correct…
I have no idea what is under its hood, but I don’t think you will find a LZ20R under it. Most probably a FJ20ET…
I said it is a perfect copy in the title, but that is obviously not entirely correct. However it is definitely the closest to the real thing!

I guess the highway part in kaido racer did not refer to speed this time. 😉
Poll: oldskool liverage?
Last weeks poll showed us that most of the people around here don’t have a bosozoku project, however a total of five actually abandoned their project once or more! We are very curious why they abandoned it!
This week we picked something from TAS 2011, a Soarer with oldskool Dunlop liverage:
Poll: oldskool liverage?
Question is easy: old skool liverage, hot or not?
Exhaust of the week: zig zag to the Tokyo Auto Salon
On its way to the Tokyo Auto Salon this Skyline C210 lets its zig zag exhaust roar in one of the famous Japanese tunnels:
