Meeting monday
Welcome to the second part of the 2009 Shiraoi meeting video coverage! If you missed the first four videos posted in the previous part, you can find them here!
The fifth video begins good: with a shakotan C230 Cedric on the foreground, a grachan Celica XX and a Mark II with a peacock exhaust (takeyari) showing its tail feathers for a good 25 seconds!
In the sixth video more takeyari Mark IIs, a bunch of shakotan 910 Bluebirds and a grachan Soarer MZ10.
Read on for three more videos!
The seventh video gives you a good impression of the pitlane and the activity on the straight of the circuit:
And the eight and last video shows the Team Maddona Gloria next to another one. I’m getting a bit puzzled here: I already saw three Gloria Y30s on this meeting! Is this a new craze?
Auctions: Toyota Soarer MZ21 RS*R
Time for something new: we do post certain auctions in the deep dish postings, but we hardly post anything interesting outside that section.
So, let’s start with this beautiful second generation Toyota Soarer:
Toyota Soarer E-MZ21 RS*R
The car has been painted in three different colors, just like the grachan style. At the front a 27 cm sharknose extension has been done and the taillights have been swapped.
Front wheels are 8.5J and the rear wheels are 10.5J wide. To fit these wheels the front fenders have been tapped out and some (small) fender extenders have been mounted at the rear
At first I thought the taillights were swapped for the Prince Skyline S50 series, but I was wrong:

They are certainly early BMW 02 series taillights. How do I know for sure? My parents used to own a BMW 2002, but more about that in a later posting. 😉
Toyota Soarer E-MZ21 RS*R
This E-MZ21 Soarer is an automatic (just like 90% of all Soarers) and has same the 3 liter 7M turbo engine as found in the MA70 Supra.
The most striking is this comment placed two days ago:
The fact that there was a violation of the guidelines report two cases. What do you violate the law is that which is forbidden by law to sell?
In other words: this auction has been marked as illegal in two occasions. Indeed the seller states there are no documents with the car and it is unknown if the recycling fee has been paid. Now what would be the real history of that can then?
Video: Daijiro Inada visting Massuru 2005
Last week both white_raven and Billy posted/emailed us the videos of Daijiro Inada visiting the Massuru meeting in 2005 we posted some videos of.
In the first video travels to the meeting in the bippuzoku Celsior by Daisuke Shouten. After arriving you get an highlight of the cars on the meeting. You can see a lot of the cars featured on this site, like the C330 Nissan Cedric, this MX32 Mark II, a Grachan 180sx and the third exhaust of the week!
More car spotting in the second video:
Daikiro Inada takes a ride in a 6 meter long Gloria C430 and a lowered roof chopped Century. The Toyota Century already looks like a bad zokusha when lowered, but this one with its roof chopped is the baddest of them all!
Thanks guys! This video is one of the best videos I’ve seen so far!
