Hot or not: Exhibition winged Soarer
Back when I was still doing ramps with my skateboard I would have been incredibly anxious to do a Pop Shove-it on this wing! The only challenge would be to actually get on the ramp without hitting any of the other FRP bodyparts! 😛
Hot or not: Exhibition wing
I must say the wing is a great addition to the Soarer! It kind of follows the lines of both the bodywork and the fender extenders.
Hot or not: Exhibition wing
The other wing is for sale on Auction Yahoo and fits on a Soarer MZ10, any GX71 and a 130Z. Somehow I can image the first two, but how could this fit the Nissan 280ZX??
Now what do you thing? Are those wings hot or not?

It has been a while since we had a deep dish post like this! I found these two 12J wide RS Watanabe rims for sale on Auctions Yahoo:
Deep dish 12J wide RS Watanabe rims
The rims have an offset of -50, so even with wide fender extenders the wheels will probably stick out anyway. 😉

The tires are a set of Dunlop Sport R90s 265/575 competition tires. Not something you will find on an average set of Wats!

Rims are, of course, in pcd 4×114.3 so they will even fit most older Japanese cars.

I found these widened 14 inch 5J steelies on Auctions Yahoo when I was searching for Nissan Cedric 330s. The original used to be 5J but these babies certainly are somewhere in the 9J or even 10J range!
Widened 14 inch 5J Topy steel rims
These steelies are suitable for most 5 lugnut JDM tin.
The owner claims they are made by Topy:
Widened 14 inch 5J Topy steel rims
I never heard of that manufacturer before but from what I understand they manufacture most of the OEM steel wheels used by Japanese car manufacturers. They got a buy me now price of $2100, so they are definitely NOT a steal. 😉

Almost a year ago I spotted these deep dish SSR mk1 rims on auctions.yahoo.co.jp and they are still for sale:
Deep dish SSR mk1 rims: 9.5J (front) and 11J (rear) wide
They still look excellent in the flat matte with the Skyline C210 in the background!
Deep dish SSR mk1 rims: 9.5J (front) and 11J (rear) wide
Last time I stated that the seller is a very honest man and he still is: he warns that these rims may look good, but in fact one of the rear rims is damaged at the hub opening (see picture above) and has cracks around the nuts and also one of the 9.5J front rims is not air tight. Of course the rims can be fixed, but that will cost you money as well.
Deep dish SSR mk1 rims: actually not that good as they appear to be…
For sale for bargain price at $1070 (pricedrop of 130 dollar compared to last year) here:

Hot or not: more than 1 million Suzuki Alto Works
Even though I accidentally posted a wrong picture with last weeks Silvia S13 still 78% thinks it is hot! Can’t agree more with that!
This week we have a Kei bosozoku car: a more than 1 million reworked Suzuki Alto Works!
Hot or not: reworked Suzuki Alto Works
Well, no doubt the owner put a lot of effort in this little Alto: a set of 13 inch 7J and 8J SSR Star Sharks (Sutashaku) with 165/65 R13 tires stretched around it, big lip, godfather horn, 80s racing paint scheme, rollcage, four point seat belt and a tiny momo steering wheel.
But I doubt that all that together was worth, like the seller says, over 1 million yen. Maybe back in the 1994 when this car was bought new?
Hot or not: reworked Suzuki Alto Works
Anyhow, it is not about the auction, it is about the car… A little reworked Alto Works, hot or not?
