What’s better than a Skyline Japan kaido racer? Two Skyline Japan kaido racers of course!
Two different body styles, two different kaido racer styles, definitely a win!

This is definitely one of the best bosozoku styled Cresta’s ever: sure it’s got a sharknose, an oil cooler, front air dam with lip, extended fenders, big takeyari exhaust, deep dished SSR Mk IIIs and a ducktail spoiler. But what is the key element I did not name here? (more…)
by banpei with 1 commentGame: Aggressors of Dark Kombat
Aggressors of Dark Kombat was a fighting game released by SNK in 1994 and went a few steps beyond their normal fighters. As the name already suggests: the game uses the K to make a wink to the Mortal Kombat.
The game itself was more targeted to the street brawling youth, hence all the references to the bosozoku in it. In this fragment you can spot in the background a shark nosed Toyota Soarer GZ10, a Toyota Crown MS125, a Toyota Cresta GZ71 and a Toyota Celica XX GX61 with oil coolers mounted on the bumper! Makes me wonder if they got some cash from Toyota for inserting their whole 80s lineup…
Now where can I find a second hand Neo Geo? 😉
Bosozoku style artwork: Paper craft Levin zokusha
Not only drawings and paintings count as artwork: how about this paper craft Levin kaido racer?

Complete with paper oil cooler and oil lines!
And at the rear a set of bamboo spears (takeyari):

I’m really impressed what you can do with a simple piece of paper, scissors and some glue.

QareeMz sent me some pictures of his sharknosed Toyota Corolla AE70 a few weeks ago. This week he sent me the updated pictures, including a Victory Exhaust!

In Japan the zokushas are either very large vehicles (Cedrics, Crowns, etc) or very small kei cars. It is great to see a car between those two classes!
The oil-cooler and sharknose give the car a great face:

And the Hoshino Impuls complement the side!
And the victory exhaust finishes off the rear!

QareeMz also wrote he is starting a Malaysian Bosozoku club himself. How cool is that!
