Search for the baddest of the toughboys!
Finally we managed to kick off the search for the baddest of the toughboy zokushas! With a toughboy zokusha we mean the pre 80s ride with big loud pipes, extreme wide wheels and scraping to the ground on every bump. Only to be driven by the toughest guys!
7M Kev suggested to do a poll on this. It will be the same as the sudden death series when we searched for the most iconic zokusha: we take two toughboy zokushas and you take your pick! After a week we will look at the results and put up a next pair for you! 😉
In total we have selected 16 cars, from which 3 were selected by others. You can still send in your nominations and we’ll see if we can still fit them in the lineup.
So, this week we start with:
Nissan Laurel C130 #1
As you can see: the Laurel has a headlight swap and you can’t hardly see the road beneath it. With the 70s lip and paintscheme this Laurel looks even tougher than any extended fender would have!
versus
Nissan Fairlady Z S30 #1
With its immitation G-nose this Fairlady Z S30 looks really tough! It also has a first generation Celica liftback taillight swap and the tsurikawa hints the car won’t be able to take speedbumps in a normal fashion anymore.
Most iconic wheel SSR Mk1 results (part 2)
The sudden death decided! The most iconic bosozoku style wheel is:
Most iconic bosozoku style wheel: SSR mk1 14 inch 11J and wider!
The 14 inch SSR Mk1 with width of 11J and wider is clearly the winner!
Thank you all for voting! Next week we will start with the badboy zokusha shootout!

And the winner of the Sudden Death 2009 is:
The Bosozoku Styled Skyline C210!!
????????(???)??????!!!!!
Bosozoku style Skyline C210
I think we were right to choose that car to feature in our logo! It is IMO one of the best looking bosozoku styled cars I saw so far!
It was a great feature to do during the past months! Today there will be no new poll, but we’re going to think of a new poll for next week. If you have suggestions for a poll, don’t hesitate to place them in the comments! All suggestions are welcome!
Then all that is left is to thank you all for voting on the Sudden Death 2009! Should we do it again next year?
