This week we got a Soarer GZ20 with victory pipes and in good kaido racer fashion the exhaust tips are left blank.
I just love the sharknose and the paint job: just look at all that vinyl wrap! Must have taken hours to apply!
Found at Black Heart Osu Banchou @ Minkara

But are they actually styled differently??

by banpei with 1 commentTake4Mickey treated us with an old meeting video from 1993 in Nabeta. Now only which Nabeta did he refer to?
I’ve fallen for the tail-light-less Skyline C10: somehow it looks so right! I only wonder how legal it would actually be…
And also note the hoodfins on the Soarer around 2:30: they are so big they look like they came from the batmobile! And after that it gets more crazy then you would expect!
Direct link to the video: ??’??
by banpei with no comments yetLast week’s Meeting Monday featured a lower-than-shakotan Soarer at the Wanko Road Kaohsiung meeting where a hero saved the day by holding up the flares. You can now see it all happen on the photos someone else took that day:
Is it still holding on??
Up close the guy really looks as if he just hitched a ride in a Delorean from the early 90s! (more…)
by banpei with 1 commentWhen is shakotan still not low enough you just go one step further. Driving on the relatively flat roads of Japan to a meeting isn’t the problem, but the problems arise when you drive on the meeting area!
I must say the guy helping out with the fender flares must have been a very patient guy: walking that whole distance in tortoise gear and making sure those flares do not touch the ground… 😉
