1. What's with the v-opt.co.jp sticker? Every car seems to have it and every car seems to have it in the same place. Who are v-opt.co.jp?

2. I've noticed a lot of drift cars have only a single front windscreen wiper. Is it an expensive conversion? Why would they bother? Would this be illegal in Australia for road use?

1. http://www.d1gp.co.jp/

they make option and tengoku videos!

its put there because its stuck there on the D1 GP cars

2. not entirely sure on that. maybe less weight?

Option run the D1 series, part of your entry will be that you have to the sticker on the car.

It is like the Konica stickers on the Konica V8 Supercar series cars. No matter who your sponsors are if you enter the series you have to have those stickers on it.

V opt is the sponsor sticker.

Single wiper is illegal as far as I know.

Proper conversions I think MAY be ok but may require engineering.

I know people who take both off, then put their wiper at a different angle on the stock driver side bolt that turns the wiper.

This results in the wiper being in the middle of the passenger side screen most of the time - i think its stupid.

I would spend the money on doof doof or power :D

Option is a car mag for enthusiasts in japan. They've been goin since like 80's.

Dai is one of the guys who runs Option. They publish Option, OPtion2, Option3 etc, each one is for a different type of car. Option2 is a tuning mag sorta (which is what I collect). Option3 I think is for Kei cars and so on.

v-opt are video option, the AV part of option. They are the major sponsors of the D1 competition.

I'd say do whatever you want to your car :(

it's yours and who cares what anyone else thinks?? you like it and that's all that matters

Yes this is true, and we will all laugh at you...nobody does it here bar the small % of try hards. For the plain and simple fact it's only for race cars involved in D1...do you see anyone going around with F1 logos/decals or touring car decals!

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
