Cresta GX71 at Exciting Car Showdown
Dino Dale Carbonare from Speedhunters briefly showed some pictures of this Cresta GX71 at the Nagoya Exciting Car Showdown held last weekend. Yesterday gogo6171 posted a short video about the car on Youtube with some nice revving action!
I like the subtile zokusha references on this kyusha kai Cresta: the two-tone zig-zag lines, deep dish SSR MK. III wheels and the old school lip under the front bumper!

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! 😉

I found this nice picture in a Nagoya Exciting Car Showdown album on Minkara:
Octopus exhaust on a Mark II GX61
I think it belongs to the same meeting as the ones Dino shot for Speedhunters
And in this picture you can see how that actually looks on a Mark II:

Well, at least if you can still identify the Mark II underneath it. 😀
Exhaust of the week: Crown at Nagoya Exciting Car Showdown
I really dig the way the exhaust pipes of this Crown are photographed! It shows perfectly how ridiculously long these pipes actually are!

I already wrote about the Speedhunters coverage of the Nagoya meeting two weeks ago and this picture is featuring in that coverage. Dino is absolutely a master in exaggeration of the perspective, so this meeting was absolutely well covered by him!
Head over to Speedhunters for the full Nagoya showdown!

I could hardly find any pictures of the Nagoya Exciting Car Showdown parkinglot meeting, but the ones I did find showed me the reason why:
Nagoya Exciting Car Showdown 2010 parkinglot meeting
Looks like a big meeting to me! 🙂
Same here:

From this perspective it looks like a very big gathering and last weeks videos also implied that.
But from this perspective:
Nagoya Exciting Car Showdown 2010 parkinglot meeting
Yep, that’s about it. I guess about 10 to 15 cars were there, so not as big a meeting as last year.
Lets hope it will be bigger next time! 😉
