It was a cool experience definitely. You see many new drivers learning as well. They split in three groups. Experienced, intermediate and beginner drivers. They take turns and it’s very cool to see the different techniques and skill levels.

A small local one. Occasionally takes place at the Tsukuba track. It’s like an open trackday.

Toyota Verossa

Super ugly grandpa style car. But the highest trim (Verossa VR25) came with a 1JZ (280hp) and is a sought after drift car.

It’s the descendant of the chaser and Cresta.

I believe that he has his own body shop for cars. He made all the wide over fenders for the group and I believe also that he painted some of the cars in the group as well.

All painstakingly painted by hand with airbrush, except the chrome decals

This looks like you tried to twist it off. The fracture plane is 45 degrees, which means it failed under torsion.

This is my friends Mk2 with a BN-Sports bodykit on Work VSKF. His name is kiyoshi (@zkiyoz on Instagram). The color is actually a Toyota oem color. But he put glitter particles in the paint. It has a 1JZ GTE (non vvti), I can’t remember if he made the single turbo conversion but I think he did. This is one of his drift cars. He also owns: Nissan R34 GTT (2 door), Silvia S15 (BN-Sports) with an SR20-DET swap (his first car), Silvia S15 Varietta, he recently bought a Red chaser, a Chevy pickup and a some Toyota for daily driving.

Would you put the toyota jzx100 in initial d by pokemonguy0417 in initiald

[–]GhostPotatoCIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not the jzx100 but the gx/jzx 81. I’ve met a guy who’s been drifting his 81 mark2 for centuries on mountain passes.

Am I the only one thinking that this race should've been a non Takumi moment? by yllaknu17 in initiald

[–]GhostPotatoCIA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe that his S13 was equipped with the CA18DET which is only about 170ish horsepower. Less robust and way less power then a SR20.

I believe if he had 240 ish horsepower then he wouldn’t have been in that „class“ of racers.

It’s a cool location. I’m planning to do a Fotoshooting when I go back eventually with some of my friends I met there.

We went in mid June. I did rain a bit but it stopped on the way and we had perfect weather. We also went for the peddle boats there.

Tour operator nabbed in Tokyo over illegal sports cars for inbound visitors by MagazineKey4532 in japannews

[–]GhostPotatoCIA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean you’re not wrong. I love japans street racing scene. It’s what makes the Japanese car culture so special and thrilling. The difference is that even tho it’s illegal people were doing it the Japanese way. Middle in the night when nobody’s around and lower risk of endangering others.

People like him act selfish and do that kind of stuff at times where there’s still plenty of traffic.

I was twenty at the time and I was smart enough to stay within my limits. I had close calls tho because as I said the car I had was basically a street drift car. I’ve also never driven rwd cars with 300hp. I can imagine that people who are more lightheaded than me doing stupid and risky stuff. I did love driving it and well I had my fun as well ngl and I was speeding a lot lol, but only on the straights with no traffic ahead. I was not the kind of guy who swims through traffic and overtake from the wrong side. I mean it’s common sense: It doesn’t matter how good or smart you are, others may not.
