Meeting Monday
As promised: more videos of the Tokyo Auto Salon 2011 carpark meeting!
Let’s start with this Datsan 210:
Immediately followed by a Crown MS125 with Gloria 430 headlights!
And some revving match between several zokusas:
Our favorite Gloria 430 with Y shaped exhausts:
Followed by a just as impressive exhaust piped Leopard F30!
And last but not least, a kei-car zokusha:

Bosozoku kei cars are a bit less common than all the larger common cars (like the Skylines and Crestas) so seeing a beauty like this little Wagon R+ is really special!

These rims may not have deep dish, but surely the tiniest SSR Mk IIs I’ve ever seen: they are 10 inch in diameter and 4.5J wide!
Tiniest SSR Mk II: 10 inch 4.5J!
From the pictures they appear to be in proportion, only the lugnut-hole size hints that they are small… Knowing their dimensions they surely are an odd pair!

The PCD is 110 and their offset is ET +2. Sounds like a good fit for some kei car!
I found them in an Auction for only 9800 yen ($112!) so definitely a bargain!

Bosozoku car feature: Sexy Bistro
Some time ago Alexi Smith posted a Nissan Skyline R32 drift missile with some random tail light replacements. I did remember from what car one of them used to be, to be exact: from the Subaru Vivio Bistro. The car itself is a quite dull retro-look spin off kei car, but of course you can make it look great by doing this to it:
Sexy Bistro (Subaru Vivio)
Slap a set of Hayashi Streets on it, some fender extenders, a big lip, an oilcooler on the bumper and suddenly it doesn’t look that boring anymore! 😉
The tsurikawa is supposed to be a Hello Kitty item, but I can’t really judge from the pictures whether that is actually the case or not…
Sexy Bistro (Subaru Vivio)
Wheels are 13 inch 6J Hayashi Street (ET+13 front, ET+7 rear) with 155/65 R13 tires ballooning around them.

And here you can see how far these not so wide wheels stick out of a Bistro without the fender extenders… Imagine how wide a 9J rims would be! 😀
I really love the tiny details they put on this car like the star shaped stickers on the headlights. Too bad there weren’t any pictures of the rear of the car yet…
