How deep is your dish?
This Nissan Skyline KPGC10 by Tanigawa Takeshi is one of their track cars and not their normal shakotan or kyusha kai example. Nevertheless I want to share the deep dished RS Watanabes they put on it:
RS Watanabe 8 spoke on KGC10
At the front it already sticks out too far and they had to extend the fenders.
Don’t worry, they were sane enough to use FRP fenders to begin with:

Unfortunately they did not feature the 11J at the rear, but I think the 9J front was already impressive enough. 😉

Hattoriworks posted these three videos of a kaido racers meeting in Odaiba:
The meeting took place half a yeara few days ago.
In the second video Mazda Luce Legato tries to conquer the pavement:
And in the last video a groundscrapingly low shakotan Carina (RA45?) repeats what the Luce Legato just did:

One of the things I really like about the style are the pimped up interiors. Especially the pluche type like applied to this Nissan Bluebird 910:

People who paid attention may have noticed this car already featured before in the Wallpaper Wednesday.

At first glance this Shakotan Boogie Soarer looks correct, but looking a bit closer you will notice the straight tailpipes are not on the side:

Nevertheless a very nice car! 🙂
Video: Translogic meets modding culture
I found this first episode of Translogic visiting Japan on JNC yesterday and I thought the whole Kaido Racer coverage was pretty good and acurate!
The other two subjects (scooter modding and vanning) are pretty interesting too, but for the zokushas fast forward to 2:55.
For the people who visit regularly you probably have recognized a couple of the infamous rides of the Nagoya Exciting Car Showdown! 😉
