80-early 90 Model Cars

Seen the face...but sorry I don't think I know much about him. Who does he drive for, if he is a D1 driver then I don't really know much about the D1 drivers or JGTC drivers for that matter. I only know tuners well, that's about all I read up on...their opinions, techniques and parts selection on tuning setups.

yeah he used to be a JGTC driver... can't remember who for tho...

[DaiOni]

he's pretty much a god of JGTC, D1 (started it up, IIRC)

the first usage of 'drift king' was as his nickname

referred to in initial D

seen in many, many option and best motoring vids

the 'drift bible' dvd that all the kids love - he's the instructor

here's an overview of his pro driving career: http://www.zigzagasia.com/Default.asp?ID=81

He is driving God. Apperently a really nice bloke aswell, which is good.

[funkymonkey]

correction... he's a japanese motorsport god, he didn't exactly make much of a name outside of japan... Until all the drift-hype kids started watching initial D n the drift bible.

retired after a dismal season.

[funkymonkey]

his commercial ventures has ensured that his family will be quite well off for some time to come anyways.

You know what it just occured to me he looks like Hoshino the Hanshin Tigers Coach who just retired last season...now this guy I know Nevered watched Baseball until I came to Japan

[DaiOni]

One of my first impressions of japan was switching channels on the TV - and discovering that baseball was on 4 or 5 of them!

I only started occasionally watching baseball after getting into 'the baseball 2002' on xbox - cool game (for 400yen!).

I still think it sucks though.

Hi

After going through diffrent car models for my project,I have decided on either a crx or an ef civic vtec hatch based on part support for the b16 engine and getting it registrated in Norway.

I have a few questions?

Would it be possible to find old mugen bodykits and old wheels from companies like ssr or mugen?

Any place in Japan that could source such parts?Or are much of these type of items long gone and I have to resort to copy bodykits from american companies

with bad fitment?

Thanks

Paul

there's fifty million second hand wheel sets in japan - how you are going to get your hands on a set is another matter
