After Party of Corsa's 7/7 Day Meet

I didn't go to the Corsa meet since I was busy, so later that day I headed down to the YNS garage in Koto City

I'd like to begin by apologising for my obvious lack of Rotary knowledge, they are something that I'd like to learn more about as my first ever car in the RCC was an FC. Also, I' not great with the kits that come on RX7s, so I'll do my best to comment on these cars

First car I was greeted with was this pink FD, complete with Abflug wheels and a crazy Abflug kit. Fixed headlights are a look I'm keen on for RX7s, and this car perfectly personifies that. Pink is not the most common colour, but this rocks the paint so well. Its owned by fotku, who hosted the event at the garage too.

Just behind that was the complete other end of the spectrum. This 60s Mazda Cosmo Convertible was sporting a few light body mods, period correct stickers and some incredible rally lights. If I had to pick favourites, I think this would win it for me. A proper weekender, since it is sunday after all.

The Speed Master indeed. This FD again has the ideal combo. Crazy bodykit (in this case a SCOOT kit with wheelspats), fixed lights and a crazy colour. This car is the SCOOT 327FD, which got its name from a 327km/h run in New Zealand that this car performed, way back in 2001. No doubt, a piece of RX7 history parked on the kerb tonight.

This black FD was almost understated. The black Mazdaspeed wheels were not as popular as I expected tonight, so they looked extra cool on this car. Most of the car being dark coloured really made the red harnesses and polished lips on the wheels stand out, giving this car a really clean look.

As I turned around, I thought my eyes were deceiving me. A Porsche? But no, this RX7 is running the Re Amemiya front end, complete with the headlights from a Porsche! So, to the owner of this, don't worry about cracking one of them, just find your local 997 911 and borrow their headlights...

If I had 100 yen for every pink car at the event, I'd have 200 yen, nowhere near enough to cover the premix used today, but weird that there were two. This car has the 993 Headlight front end, similar to the car above but older, and the same rear end as the AC987. Lambo doors, speedster roof and a red interior. Could this car get any crazier?

Another SCOOT kitted car, this time with a different front bumper and a low key cream colour, but I dig it. The car is owned by a CREST member, meaning the owner has likely travelled from Singapore to be here. One of the more understated RX7s of the day, but still nonetheless a brilliantly built car.

A Different car here today. This FC was low, hugely modified and has R32 GTR Tail lights retrofitted. I want to say a drift car, but I am not sure since I didn't see it leave or arrive. The bonnet decals were incredible, and sadly the image doesn't do them justice.

The Real Governor. Ninjashooter and his Re-Amemiya JGTC car arrived later into the evening, but this car had real presence. The white centrelock regamasters really work on this build. After the garage, we were due to head down to Tsukuba Circuit, so I wouldn't have been suprised if this dominated on track.

I'd really like to try getting into RX7s more, especially FDs and their crazy kits. Thank you for Project Tsukuba for hosting this little after party, as we know the after party is always better...

If you'd like to join Project Tsukuba the server is still unfinished, but mr meenay needs a reason to finish it, so here's the invite: https://discord.gg/dGbCE7R2Ym

Popup Comp: Spirited Sweep and AE86 CRASH!

As it turns out I can't drive.

Today a Mini Competition was held at Ebisu Minami so with very little preparation and with my R32 being out of action, I had to choose to drive my AE86 and entered as a driver.

Firstly, I'll run you guys through some of the competition I had:
Bryce's AE86 is no slouch, he's been driving it for years and is certainly someone to worry about. He is another member of SPIRITED, so as much as I'd want to CRUSH him, he's a teammate and so I wished him luck.

Next up was Hira, who for once was not driving one of his many AE86s. This S15 was set up well though, as Valid made it all the way to 4th place. Running about 315ish horsepower, it was definitely on the higher end of the power today.

Lolcraft's AE86 has been featured a few times on this page, and he was down again to drive at this comp! I haven't seen him drive for a while, and I had missed seeing that parcel shelf of stickers in the back.

In terms of friends of the page, todays event was full! Shred was here with his 2JZ Sunny, definitely a cool and probably quite a rare drift car. The pink is quite the statement and he drove well, sadly having to leave early and get back to his shop.

One of the other SPIRITED cars was Awoo's street AE86, which did REALLY well for what it is. This car is fairly low powered and yet Awoo made it to 2nd place! A formidable driver and a pretty cool car, even if it is a Panda Trueno.

Kitami's ER34 was freshly built and ready for the competition, but sadly wasn't tuned exactly right and he didn't do too well. The car looks cool with the paint and certainly has potential, so lets hope to see this car up and running well for the next event!

Last but certainly not least, Combat's properly set up competition AE86. The livery, the engine, the wheels all make this car look ready to win the competition, and win Combat did. Congratulatons Combat!

The competition started, and then...

On the first run I FLIPPED my AE86. No worries though. I had an idea.

I ended up pushing the roof out and welding in a cage as quick as I could. I'm glad I did and the car still worked because I got 3rd in the competition! AE86 never fails!

And the comp was finished! Combat won, Awoo came second and I came third. DoriX competitions really are fun, so if you think you have what it takes to compete with us, join!

Car

I think its time I do something with this missile ae86, DM me with ideas please! just a short article today, as the event was fairly small. Thanks to FORE CAST Team Leader Desu for organising the event and lonely_driver for helping judge!

Dekotora Truck: I visit Kyoto to look at a Hino

Dekotora: The art of truck customisation Japanese style

This is owned by Wasu, an old friend of mine. You may remember his JZX81 I wrote an article about back in the day. This Hino Ranger from 1990 is almost completely different to that JZX. This is a Dekotora Truck, with Dekotora being an abbreviation for decoration truck.

The original Ranger has been completely changed, with new front and rear bumpers, side protection, cab design, interior, underbody, upfit, lights, paint job and of course a whole lot of Chrome. That's Hatsune Miku on the rear doors, which open to find a large storage bay inside the box of the truck. It has enough space just to fit a car!

Wasu told me however that a lot of Dekotora drivers use these manic machines as personal vehicles, which explains why his is filled with spares from his RX7. Quite the vehicle to drive for fun.

He's even got 'bus rockets' on the roof! I have to admit, I think these were for style and they do really give the roof that Classical Dekotora look, while also making it look like a Kanko Bus.

The interior of this truck is even more stylish and ostentatious than the outside, with the red quilted upholstery mixed with the gold from the pattern and the chandelier, something I never thought I'd be writing in an article.

Not only does it have a chandelier fit for a country house inside, it also has a flat floor possibly with sleeping capabilities, a couple of TV screens, a radio, a massive switch panel and the coolest gear knob ever mated atop of a manual gearbox!

He's even got a banging stereo system, complete with Gentleman's Literature to read while stopped.

Its safe to say this truck is the coolest, most creative and interesting vehicle I think I've ever written on. Nobody else I have ever met in the RCC has owned a Dekotora truck, and the icing on the cake for this is he's only gone and blender built the entire thing. The only OBJ part on this truck are the tyres. This is by far my number one vehicle in the entire RCC at this moment. Everything lights up, everything is AO Baked and everything is insane.

thanks to wasu for showing up with this insane machine, glad to be back writing again.
map by Sunday Driver, not sure if i can invite you guys to it..

My schedule now is getting busy with school, but I'm waiting on Translunary to finish his AE86 and then I can write up a little Team Article on ShakeDown!

thanks guys see ya

Corsa Popup Meet - Euro Car Heaven!

BMWs? In a dorohoteki article?? Unheard of!

Today's first car at the meet was AJ's G82 M4. I have to admit, even as a HARD Mercedes-Benz fan I really like the G8X series. ESPECIALLY the M3s, but this M4 is cool too. Not so much a fan of the CSL Package though...

Talking of G82, THIS is the perfect spec. Nice colour, no red accents, nice headlights, not tooo yellow. I am SUPER jealous of this build and how good it looks, even if it is just stock-i cant really tell :). This was one of my top cars of the whole meeting definitely.

This pair of 997s matched rather nicely, with my teammate Lolcraft's Touge Spec 997 up front. The 997s there was today were no joke, most can be seen lapping racetracks on the weekend.

This article is quite BMW heavy, but that's okay now because this is MINE! Most people don't know I own an E36, and technically it isn't mine either as the real car was owned by Dado from Mischief, Brazil's Finest in cannonballing and drifting!

This car believe it or not is owned by Hakan! Yet another BMW but yet another fire one, this M4 is sitting nicely on some TC105s. If anyone has any wheel complaints, I helped choose them :)

Now this is a REAL Porsche, owned by a connoisseur Zirl0. The 996 is my favourite Porsche generation of all time. Infact, this car has an RGT bodykit from RUF, but this is originally a GT3, so no RUF Vin. Still a really cool car though. This car is a Nankaijin car, with Zirl running the teams display plates.

The original Audi RS6 is one of the rarer Audis to see in the RCC. I find them interesting as they arent the most obvious RS Audi, and yet pack a real punch.

Huh? Jdm??

This is possibly Green car of the day. Owned by AJ, this 992 GT3 is a really really clean spec. Sadly, it isn't a Touring and sadly its a PDK, but AJ tracks this cars so I understand. Its also registered in The Netherlands, where AJ is originally from

Believe it or not, this car is a Hennesey tuned Ferrari. Personally before I saw this car I had no idea Hennesey did anything outside of America. And yet here we are, the Hennesey 800 horsepower Ferrari F12!

Nicky Nitro AKA Dr NO2...

really fun meet, especially with the barrel rolling at the end!

the site is getting harder and harder to work on now as it gets bigger and bigger, so i'll potentially be redoing the site and making it run smoother and easier for me to work on! Have a nice rest of your evening, its 11:34pm as of me writing this, time to go and eat my dinner

AE86 Day 2023 - The Spirited Takeover

06/08/2023

I'm back in my element for this article. AE86 BABY!!!

Yesterday I met with my friend, spoke for 5 minutes, handed over some cash and ended up with this. Before we get too far along I'll have to admit it is actually an 85, but never mind that, it has a genuine Hachi-Roku engine and all sorts of parts on it!

if you get the reference you are a real ae86 fanboy

First out of us spirited lot was Vtec's left hand drive AE86. Imported just for this even from Canada, his S2000 engine was really roaring out on the track. Also, just look at the livery. I'd consider some of the spirited liveries to be some of the best in the RCC, even if I am biased.

Second was 6try's ROTARY powered Levin... really stretching todays regulations. However close to the 'AE86' limit it is with it being Mazda powered, it still is one and so was welcome today. I wish I had recorded the idle of it because it really was the brap brap that rotaries make.

The next two cars are Mine (Left) and Translunary's (Right). We're matching with our 4 Lug VSKFs and paintjob. We've even got very similar kits, but sadly the wing is where we differ. I only brought this car for show on the Spirited Tow Truck, but I'm glad it could be there for the static display.

The second to last official Spirited car at the beginning was Awoo's Trueno Hatch, a personal spirited favourite of mine. The SSR Meshes complement the custom panels very nicely, and I wonder who stuck his Running Free banner on there...

Last but not least was our leader, Combat's Trueno Coupe Street car. The best part is all of his rear window stickers are individually UV mapped and uploaded in order to get the best quality. He's even got the rare Origin Labo clear tail lights on this. Totally cool.

Lolcraft's Gymkhana car was here, but I couldn't find the man himself to ask what has changed. Still not running his Super Raps though!

Next up was Hirasawa' s Levin, complete with a RunFree livery and the correct D1 Sponsors. This car is seriously nice and won best AE86 of the day!

Desu was here with his latest AE86 alteration, with his R32 style wing on the back and giant Sun Racing sticker on the bonnet. He's so happy with it he's waving in the picture :)

This was a proper curveball at the track. This may not be an AE86, but has the 4AGE Heart lifted straight into it. For those who don't know, this Daihatsu Charmant competed in D1GP and is now owned by my friend Fujinoki. Funnily enough this car deservedly won best 'car' of the day, so congrats to Fuji!

Tran's seconds car was this Magic Levin. This car has been in the works by him for a while, with almost every sticker on it completely made by him. He's started a recent trend of R32 wings on Coupes, with him and Ry both having Magic AE86s. Certainly a good look, even if he was missing the dashboard for today.

Next, we all got taken out to do a Parade Run around Tsukuba Circuit, the venue for the DoriX AE86 Day Festival. It took us quite a while to get into line, but eventually we were able to drive around, with a few hiccups around the lap itself.

Happy AE86 day to those who missed it!

The AE86 did well! Hopefully I wont end up neglecting it like I do with all of my cars. Happy 86 day to all those who like 86s, be it AE86s or GT86s or now even GR86s. I am beginning to enjoy working more on articles and so hopefully I'll cover more events!

map is owned by DoriX (tsukuba circuit) and cars are owned by DoriX members

hope to see you for the next article!

Corsa De Leon - Its just like Forza!

Corsa's first supercar only event, complete with Choppers and an AE86 :))

Quite an image to start with: The grid lining up with the Corsa Chopper above. This whole event oozes wealth and the ability to drive cars very, very fast.
Granted, this is not usually my cup of tea, but I'll admit Lonely did a great job with todays De Leon.

Koenigseggs were almost common here today. This Agera certainly wasn't short of insane. I almost think I prefer the lower model to the craziness that Koenigseggs can achieve. Well... when I say lower model, I do mean a 974 BHP rocketship for the road.

The next car I saw certainly wasn't common. A brand new Rimac Nevera, driven by my friend Vxlocity. Let me give you some stats: 'Unparalleled Performance' according to Rimac, with 1,914 horsepower, a 0-100kph time of 1.81 seconds and a top speed of 412kph. Hey, didn't Richard Hammond once race on a mountain in one of these?

This is a Hennessey Venom F5, a car I have to admit know nothing about. Wikipedia tells me it has an engine called the 'Fury' being a Twin Turbo V8. Maybe some American car fans can let me know more about this? This car looks cool, sounds cool and a bonus being registered in Japan!

Bujj's Lambo Sesto Elemento (sixth element) was a show stopper. Not only is the bodywork on this car fully carbon fibre, but he would be racing it wheel to wheel with everyone else, balls to the wall. Not only is the Sesto a technical marvel, I think its one of Lamborghini's best looking cars.

Kam was here today in his Novitec tuned Mclaren Senna. This car is a marvel of Roblox, with some of Kam's pictures looking like they are actually from real life. I'll post one here:

Camera

<-- Kam's pic 🤯

EVEN WHEN I'M IN EUROPE I CANT ESCAPE THEM

i have no idea what he was doing here, but nice us bumpered 86!

I'm sure most of you are aware of the technical marvel that the Koenigsegg 1:1 is. Even little old jdm obsessed ME knows how mental this car is. 1,360PS of power to 1360KG of weight. That's where the 1:1 comes from, the power to weight. This is potentially the most bonkers car I have seen race.

To top it off, the racers would be chased from halfway down the mountain, with Lonely and his Police Chevy Camaro. Pretty much a race car with strobes and a crashbar, the racers had a tough time keeping away from this beast.

I'm sorry for the slightly base level commentary on the pics I took, I am completely out of my depth when it comes to these supercars !

I will dedicate this article to fry99999, welcome to corsa!

New Drift CC!

My prayers have been finally answered, with some of the Spirited boys and Aj making a brand new drift CC called DoriX! I saw a bunch of people at Bihoku, so I thought I would head down and write something:

First, I had to start with an AE86, because DoriX has at least 25 AE86s at the moment. Here is Craft's white car, on Itega wheels although his Super Raps look better in my opinion. (sorry craft)

Its been a while but here is Trans' new AE86. Its strikingly different from what he had here last on the site and potentially might end up matching with me! All of that aside, its a seriously cool car and its been real cool to see Trans go from a scrawny street drifter to a Spirited member!

Next up is Erl's FC RX7. The FC has always been my favourite rotary vehicle, and Erl's definitely doesn't disappoint. The white on white with white stickers really complements the Re Amemiya kit he's running. The Kei Office wheels are a rarity too in todays car scene, something to look out for.

I have to confess I dont know much about this S14. I also have to confess I love the colour!

I often don't like reporting on my own cars, but I thought I'd share the latest rendition of my Green AE86! The car has been levin converted, with the new parts courtesy of Translunary. Currently this needs a retune, probably with the new DoriX Base tune, but this might be coming back with a new base :)

ZD's new S13 is probably my favourite in the RCC at the moment. The livery, the dual colour scheme, the wheels and the intricate details tie in this Silvia to be frankly amazing. Another knockout build from ZD (although I don't know what happened with the yellow strip along the front fender)

Skiwellzz' 180SX is prime 180 in my eyes. Low, black roof, crazy body kit, aero, black roof and deep wheels. This car was seriously seriously cool and went pretty hard out on track too (when trans had cleaned the oilslick)

I was checking out ski's profile when i saw his drift phonk! support the man:

Note

4rotr's new RX7 was being driven at the track day too, complete with his new kit (Vertex front, side and rear with BN/Origin Labo fenders) and Volk RE30 wheels that he's running on the car. Of course another green car at the track day was exciting, since we have to #makegreengreatagain.

Hi... again... Good to be back... Again. Hopefully the new drift CC will mean new articles from me, someone hold me to that please. Anyway, if you want to join DoriX, the link will be below. OH OH OH we are hosting an event on Sunday (time is not decided yet) where I will be JUDGING!!! Come on down!

GT86 Style Done Perfectly.

11/02/2023

The GT86 is usually the unloved middle child, between the AE86 and the GR86. What happens when someone loves it?I met with my friend Yikey to find out....

Yikey's GT86 is a prime example of utter style. From the Custom Kit to the Sexy Style inspired stripe (so nice I had to copy it), this car just oozes swag.

As a member of Nankaijin, he has to hold his cars to a certain standard. This car is certainly no exception to the rule. Every single part that took my eye was extremely detailed.

The kit is custom by Yikey, with parts from the two body kits from Gran Turismo combined. He's got an Aero Shop Shakuhou sponsor, with the same decal along the Sexy Style pinstripe that is so common in the CC today, but never on GT86s...

The interior leaves nothing to be desired either. The Nardi steering wheel perfectly complements the Blitz gearstick knob. He's even got a Blitz fire extinguisher, just incase this car gets a little bit hot....

My favourite part of the car has to be the boot's decking. Yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you, Yikey has decked out the floor of his boot... literally. More Nankaijin branding and the same logo.

i wanna keep doing this writing thing it might be popular idk

DR-VR: The Team owned by the Lonely Driver himself.

6/11/22

MOST OF THIS WAS WRITTEN BEFORE THE CONTROVERSY

Before I start, I'd like to preface that the Community is known as DR/VR, but the team is known as DR-VR officially, but often stylized as DRVR or DR_VR. The name originates from lonely's name, being 'lonely_driver'.

Todays first DR-VR car is Heavyestor's Mazda RX7. It was a standout car for me when I met with the DR-VR boys, it's Feed kit and carbon bonnet creating an aggressive image for the car. It packs a large and yet balanced 500BHP from it's rotary engine. Safe to say, with all of this cars aero, I really wouldn't want to challenge it in any clan races.

Next up, we have Longing's Impreza WRX STI. Tuned for the touge by lonely himself, to put out around 400hp, but heavily depends on the boost.(changed in studio) The stock body is retained for simplicity, and the contrasting white lightweight OZ wheels ensure that the car is quick on the street.

Third on my list of DR-VR cars is Turbo's, friend of the site, BMW G80 M3. This I would consider to be a marmite car, some love it and some hate it and I am firmly in the love category. This M3 is a beast, before we got together Turbo and I cruised and he left me and my S70 AMG behind comfortably

The M3 is one of the only DR-VR cars NOT tuned by Lonely. It has Project Gamma parts on it, with those being Intakes, Stage 3 F80 Turbos replacing the old parts making around 877BHP. A serious, serious BMW.

Some of you may recognise this car. No, this isn't Lonely's car. But it was. Passed down to one of the junior members of DR-VR to keep its legacy running, is the DR-VR Specials 930. I have to admit, I was glad when i saw the new owner had gotten rid of the huge character on the side...

Second to last, we have the DR-VR Specials 993. Owned by draculuh, it's probably my favourite of the DRVR employee cars. Its engine is beefed up with GT2871 turbos and a lot of GT2 parts. I've been told that more RUF parts, not just the wheels, are coming soon.

And here is the Boss. Lonely's R34 is based off of the MCR R34, meaning its RB26DETT makes around 600BHP on average boost, and with Lonely at the wheel it is pretty fast. It also has the BEST livery on any of the DR-VR cars. The best thing is, Lonely actively enters events with this car, even as the owner of DR-VR and even when partially retiring.

Now that number of 600BHP isn't fixed. Lonely has a boost controller, meaning the car can reach over 800BHP at high boost (changed in studio) from the HKS Turbos. The suspension is pretty beefy too, with TEIN coilovers and a lot of ZTune arms and knuckles, meaning this thing corners hard enough that the Bride bucket seats are necessary

wait... ??? whats this???

dont think i forgot about this...

Turbo's Golf R32, and not shy of controversy. It has the Stage 2 VR6 with Bilstein Struts. Quite the car, but its being stripped down for parts now. Turbo said something about it being 'broken'...

heard it was fast on hakone ;)

Hi. Good to be back. AE86 content coming up :) This article took a while, partly because of my procrastination but partly other reasons. As i write this i am still not finished with the 993's caption. I've decided that i'll try and write one article a month, starting in 2023. Please PLEASE dm me every month with your cars,

Nidan's Collection: Decommissioned Racecars As Far As The Eye Can See

The Biggest Racecar Collection in the cc?

First car Nidan had at Suzuka today was his midfielder Honda NSX-GT, siblings to the Takata Dome winner car that he got from the Honda Collection Hall 120-1 in Motegi. The car was sent there to retire, until Nidan brought it back out onto circuits around the world

The car is now used by him as a track racer, and being the newest car in his collection its being used a lot now. Its 3.5 litre 520 Horsepower C32B engine rockets this car around the track, easily the most fun car to drive of the three.

The car, being a decommissioned Japanese race car, is right hand drive, and, like most race cars, the interior is more confusing than using someone else's shower. At least its still got a sequential shifter, none of this Flappy Paddle nonsense in sight.

Next on the list was the second car, his Ferrari 550 GTS, a 24 hour of Le Mans winning car. This car was full of interesting technology including the tube sticking out of the bonnet called a 'Pitot' Tube, which is used in Airplanes to measure the airspeed, meaning this Ferrari has an air-operated speedo.

This car has a 6 Litre Dino V12 (Tipo F133C for the Ferrari nerds like me), a proper race car engine. This Naturally Aspirated V12 gives the car a horsepower figure of 627 which isn't much, by todays standards, but realising the car weighs as much as a Mazda MX5, proves this is still a serious race car.

The cars interior is surprisingly barebones for a car that drivers would often sit in for hours on end inside, racing the 24H with little to no creature comforts except a fan routed into the drivers crotch for specialist gooch cooling during the Long Le Mans stints at the wheel.

And now, my favourite of the three. Nidan's 1997 Toyota Supra JGTC car that he rescued from a Junkyard. This car is His favourite of the three and is his only car that he derestricted, but we'll get onto that later.

This car surprisingly has a 2.1L Litre 3-SGTE, a derivative of the 503E Group C engine, which means that there is no longer the 9 year old special 2JZ, But in place is the 675 horsepower (when derestricted) 3-S engine. This car is also fitted with a good old sequential gearbox.

This car is so fast that even I was able to drive it quickly, quick enough to beat Nidan in his NSX-GT. This car all in all grabs attention like nothing else and drives like nothing else. The Supra is and has been my favourite car in his collection.

Hello to those who read the bottom text! I'm trying to get into the swing of articles gain and appreciate all of you asking to get stuff written. I'm currently waiting on the DR/VR (or dr-vr i can never remember) cars to finish since I've promised Lonely to write them up. Other than that DM me with cars or events you'd like me to cover!

NIDAN NSX FOR SALE DM HIM AT nidan#1665 ON DISCORD!!

Koyama Z32: Coolest Z32 in the world?

Owned by my friend and fellow Team Risky member 2inTurbo

Styled to look like Koyama's 2005 Competition drift car, this Nissan Z32 Fairlady is nothing short of eye-catching.

A car like this with this much glass to being a drift car surprises me. The T-Top is possibly one of my favourite parts on Z32s, with the T-Top appearing 'luxurious' for the Japanese market.

The car is used in smaller drift events, however the car originally was to be used for D1 instead of a day-to-day event car. This is due to Koyama owning a second yellow Z32, which may feature on this page in the future ;)

Koyama was a huge fan of Zeds, ever since his parents bought one brand new from a Nissan dealer. He believed that a Z32 would be a good drift car ever since.

The engine is tuned by 'Escort', a popular Zed tuner, famous for tuning the VG30, being the company that ended up tuning the worlds fastest Z32. The engine makes around 620 bhp, on the dyno, and is a beauty to look at.

All in all, the cars a monster, and I love it! Expect more team risky member articles, they're all pressuring me in the group chat.

07/18/2022: Corsa Mini Meet

18/07/22

Literally just happened to roll up on this while making plans with friends.

Starting off today quickly, with a blue 180SX, complete with speckled paint and the stance to match. Wheels are a hit too. (I think they are vskfs, might be wrong.)

Next in line was a HOT 5th gen Prelude, with more low stance and more cool wheels. I like the prelude, and think that if it wasn't front wheel drive, it would've been more of a hit.

Next was the style king himself. Wasu's FC is kitted out with a BN Kit, colourshifting wheel barrels and one of the coolest interior setups I've ever seen. This car is definitely next on my hit list.

This Mark 2 just screams cool. Green colour, great wheel choice and a light up sign in the back. Don't forget the flame decals on the windscreen and the eyelids. Eyelids are usually a no from me, but I might have to reconsider...

A JZX110 is something I didn't expect to see today. I feel like they dont get enough love in the CC and so was glad to see one, especially in this spec of low and cool that Toyota Saloon cars are seen in so often.

The new BMW M3 is a car that grew on me only very recently. I'm glad to see them at meets, especially Turbo's car, with the BMW tuner 'Project Gamma' plastered across his fender.

Project Gamma make intake manifolds usually for BMWs, but for other euro cars too

Sad to say I know nothing about this S15, but if the owner reads this, please DM me, I'd love to write up on this car. its crazy cool!

This R33 GTR is pretty special. Not only does it have the whole front end rebuilt in carbon fibre, but there is a monster of an RB26 under that bonnet. Not something I'd like to race in my AE86.

There were two modern GTRs at this meet, but both were sporting 'Overtake' stickers and a similar bonnet. One was white and standard body while this black one looks ready for the circuit.

That's it for today! There were quite a few cars at that meet that I either didn't get a good enough picture of to include or just didn't make the cut against the other cars to include (not sorry)

also literally as i was writing this apparently khols admin was hacked, so watch out

All of these photos ware at 'LA Block' in Corsa.

BMW M5: The Best Super Saloon Car Ever??

The E60 BMW M5 used for the Corsa events

Today I had that feeling that I needed to write one of these, so I took myself down to Haruna whilst it was snowing to find some content.

And I found some, in the form of the 2007 BMW M5. As a die hard Mercedes fan boy, it hurts me to say that these are probably one of the best Super Saloon cars ever made.

I don't think anything is more exotic than a V10, so to have one pared to a RWD manual transmission 4 door saloon is pretty special, and was probably the last car with a setup anywhere close to this.

From the factory, these came with around 500 horsepower, but this one modified by our friend AJ has around 900. That scared me when I drove it, especially the fact that I was on ice.

Here it is, doing as much of a burnout as you can on snow (thanks ctr for driving whilst I filmed)

It therefore didn't shock me then that the event didn't end up happening yesterday, hopefully for our own safety, as I didn't fancy putting my life in the hands of this 900HP monster.

bmw or something i dont know i like mercedes oh and join corsa if you havent (why havent you)

R34 V Spec Nur II: The very best of the Skylines.

10/04/22

Today I was trusted with the keys of my friend Genesis' R34.

The R34 GTR V Spec Nur II is by far the most expensive and rarest R34s out there. Last year, one sold for nearly $500000. And why? Today, I tried to figure out why.

This fine example is owned and modified by my friend Genesis, who let me take it out to write this article. His cars RB26DETT has been modified so it churns out a whopping 800 Horsepower to all four wheels.

This car had been built to go fast. Really fast. So fast that the front number plate automatically hides itself over around 185KPH. All of this speed is going through the road through a beautiful set of Nismo LM GT MAG wheels.

This car comes with the Combo Meter gauges, with the speedo going all the way to 320kph and I can assure you, this car uses the whole speedometer. the Rev gauge going to 11000 too.

It is safe to say this car is a beast, and definitely one I enjoyed driving. From its S1 engine to its rectangular exhaust, this car is pretty much perfect.

bit of a shorter article today, with a few pictures and some info. i havent posted much but I do hope to get back into it. i also hope you still read these :)

Corsa - 2000s Meet: The Cars

26/02/22

I literally am out of my depth. I have no clue about anything on these cars. And I am about to write an article on them.

2000s cars. Specifically, American Style 2000s cars. Some may call them rice, but here at Corsa, they call them a blast from the past.

I personally am completely new to this style of cars, so forgive me if my commentary is terrible. :)

I do however know a little bit about this. This Toyota Supra is owned by my friend Translunary. He has swapped the AWD system from an R33 into it. Oh, he also swapped the front.

This Viper has been Dropped to the floor, with a wing the size of my future. I am not sure how this car can go anywhere, with the tiny gap between the road and kit. Nonetheless, very cool!

This S15 is more Japanese style, and therefore I know a little bit more. It's also driven today by my friend Yamamoto. It's got: An SR20, moveable subwoofers, blue lights everywhere and a HUGE smile.

This however is what we came for, really. This Chrysler 300C has the biggest dub wheels I have seen at that show!

... well, it had. This frankly ginormous Hummer H2 was further down the line. I wish i had photos of the boot of it, it had more speakers in it than my house!

Keeping it with the SUVs, this Cadillac Escalade has 30 speakers in the boot alone! I am sure that people get out of the way of this thing on the expressway.

All in all, at the end of the day, I think this mustang summed up the entire meet. Bonkers, Loud, and something I still dont understand.

if anyone owns the cars on here, dm me and i can put your names under the pictures. my discord is dorohoteki#0036

thanks for reading <3

Shoubudani Touge - Drift Day Out

23/01/22

Just a day out with some friends at the touge, drifting and having fun!

This morning we were awake, bright and early, 5:30 AM, chasing the illusive empty touge. Today being a Sunday, we thought that it'd be clear enough all day.

I'm not covering the driving we got up to today, just the cars. Hopefully I'll have something out about the actual driving soon.

So lets kick off with my car. This Toyota AE86 used to be brown, and in the article below, you can see it then. Its silver now though, i wanted a change.

Parked just in front of me was Siaopao and his AE86, which I suspect is where all my stickers have gone...

None the less, the TBO bonnet, big rear ducktail, monowiper and huge aerial sticking out the back, I'd say this car is cool. Really cool.

Next on my hitlist of cars was Translunary's AE86. Fresh out of the paint booth, he was the star of my show. This AE86 is clean, exciting and with a great colour, its hard to beat.

Sounding good too, the engine of this only puts out 183 horsepower! Whilst it sounds sluggish, this car is far from it. Most of the turbocharged S13s couldn't keep up with it

Only having one seat means when riding with him, you either sit on the carpet, or in the back. This is a seriously cool car.

Last but not least were the people drifting mainly today. The Tuner Dreams team was out today, recording videos and taking pictures

Some more pictures of Tuner Dreams (that I didn't take) on the photos tab!

This was the only Tuner Dreams car that stopped near me, and if I am honest, I dont know much about it. All I do know, is that its golden, meaning i like it :)

first article of 2022! i hope i don't fold like an omelette like i did last year :/

siaos car has 3 of my stickers on it. thats more than i have left to use...

Sportsland Yamanashi Trackday:
Yoko Power!

Just a Random Meet at Sportsland Yamanashi, hosted by Yoko Power.

Sportsland Yamanashi: A track styled to look a bit like a mountain road, with it being thin and windy. Today's session made use of the full track, even up behind the trees.

The first car I saw was this Green S13 Silvia with a G-Corp kit. This might be one of the cleanest S13s in the CC...

Next was Zirl0's 180sx. A simple build from an S-Chassis god, this car had the performance to match the looks.

Somehow, I think Shred makes it to every event I do. His car today was... an S13. This one however is in the classic N-Style purple, with blue accents in the form of stickers!

Another regular on this site is Wasu, with his Cressida. Now however, he is using an Origin Labo aero set, with a wing that I didn't expect to look that good on a Cressida.

I don't like featuring my own cars heavily, this being my 2nd time with my car having its own picture. But here is my Toyota AE86 I was driving today.

Now this was a showstopper. An S14 Silvia with a wing that reminds me of the Toyota Supra TRD wing. None the less, a really cool car.

Join Yoko Power here! (they revamping atm)-->

Thanks to everyone at the track for complementing my ae86 :)

Shred's Meihan: The reason I am driving to West Japan so much

The latest West Japan Car Community, based at Meihan Sportsland.

Here we are again, down near Osaka at Meihan Sportsland C Course. ShredAndBurn is one of my closest friends out here, so to see him create this group has been great.

Today was just a short taster day, but now I have a new car up and running, its great to come down and stay here!

Wasu was down here, driving his Mark II, now with an Origin Aero lip and spoiler kit.

And this is my new car! a 2000 Nissan Silvia S15. I will be driving it around Japan and going to as many trackdays as possible!

Here is a few clips from today!

Another shorter article, but something none the less. Sadly, the server is staying relatively private, with only cool cars and close people. That being said, don't harass shred to join. thanks !

DriveStyle: Hottest New Shop Out There!

A new parts company, owned by two legends.

Producing some of the highest quality parts on the market, it's hard to find the boys at DriveStyle beat.

DriveStyle produces anything you need. Wheels, Exhausts, Seats, you name it, they'll have it.

DriveStyle started as a small company, with the idea to upgrade cars with very little visual mods. This didn't last long, with the looks of the cars not keeping up with the performance. DriveStyle soon developed car styling as a focus too.

Feeling like they had to up their game, they went into racing. Starting with a JGTC Style R33 GTR, fully painted and modified by the boys at Drivestyle.

Yes, that is a V12. Yes, this VRT35, lifted out of an early 90s Nissan race car, the P35. This engine looks amazing, sounds amazing, and I'd love it in my R32! :)

This is their latest passion project. This Nissan Skyline GTR is street modified, to be lowkey and nothing serious. I've seen this thing shift, and it goes like a stabbed rat.

Anyway enough from me, here are some more parts from DriveStyle:

<- Tomei M8270 with Actuator, $5

Volks TE037, Not For Sale ->

<- DriveStyle Exhaust Muffler, Not For Sale

^ Pioneer P8400-MP dual-panel CD player, $2

Last but not least, I urge you to check out DriveStyle. I fully understand if you can't help them with money, but a little support in their discord goes a long way. Thanks for reading! :)

Chat

<- Join their discord!

Once again, thats a wrap folks! I apologise for my long absence, and hope this article is enough to make up for it! Once again with 'promotional' articles, I pay full price for all the DriveStyle parts I use and I haven't been asked to create this, I just like the parts and the people too.

Catching Up With The Team: 01

11/12/21

Currently unable to produce any more content :/ so here is a little catch up with some of the people we've featured over the last few weeks and months:

First update is from Turbo: Since the last time it was here, the whole model has been entirely rebuilt. Here you can see his striped interior and new kit!

Also, this is his latest Stagea. 480 Horsepower, Series 1, Racing slicks, this thing would be fast. However, more of a daily than a race car to him

This is one of AJ's latest cars. It's a Subaru WRX Hatch, but clearly built for rally. If this isn't a call for corsa to host more rally events, I don't know what is...

Another car of his, not really new but only seen once on here. His S15 is big in my sights for the next article and this clip of him tearing up a car park makes me want to write about it even more

A group entry, I'd consider this. From. Shred and Dan, the first ever machine check!

S12: The Forgotten Silvia

15/11/21

This Nissan Silvia S12 is owned by Shiss0ku

On my way up to Oukibuki today, I saw this. Its not everyday you see a S12 Silvia, and certainly not everyday you see one drift!

This 1985 Nissan Silvia S12 is drift ready, and looks good! Already more interesting than my basic skyline...

I'm convinced at least one of you hasn't ever heard of an S12 before, but it wouldnt be your fault, I think these get slept on.

Surprise visit from AJ (let me do an article on your s15 pls)

Safe to say, its a quirky car, with quite a long line of descendants that this car started.

This one has around 250 Horsepower from its CA18DET

Here is a quick video of it in action!

What do you think of the S12? Also, who's car should I cover next? Let me know at dorohoteki#0036

Corsa's Racing Event at Tail of the Dragon

07/11/21

I sadly wasn't able to see this race, so thank you Sushibaa for your picture!

Corsa's new racing canyon, complete with an inaugural event!

I got to the event a little late, so the first race I saw was the Supra against the FD RX7

This race ALMOST happened, but the real race was between the Celica below and the GTV6, with the Alfa winning.

The R34 went up against the Stagea with Turbo coming out Victorious. It was a harsh battle, but the wagon was the winner!

This Supra went against this Evo, with the Evo winning. These were the marks it left on launch!

One of the last races I watched was AJ's NSX vs parowka's BRZ. This was a close, close race, with AJ's nitrous infused NSX that took the win.

S13 Silvia: the ShredAndBurn Way

This Nissan Silvia S13 is owned by, you guessed it, ShredAndBurn

This 1990 S13 Silvia is another masterpiece from Shred. This car has a B18 packed under the bonnet, lifted straight from a Integra!

This Honda X Nissan merge has all come together, what with the Origin Aggressive Kit and Advan TC3 Wheels, this car stands out.

Its safe to say this car is a beast. What with around 330 Horsepower and a huge angle kit, it blasts its way through Meihan, Shreds stomping ground.

Some more info on the car: Chromed Out Advan TC3s, B18 Integra engine with External Wastegate, an Origin Labo Bodykit

And yes, you'll be happy to know it drifts! It's not a garage queen whatsoever. He even let me drive it!

I am glad to see Shred gradually returning this half term, and hope to see him and this wonderful motor at a few meets in the future.

This will also be a Christmas gift from Shred!

Big thanks to YOKO POWER for letting us disrupt the Meihan traffic, and to those who didn't ruin our shots

This article may have been a little shorter than usual, Shred's 90s camera ran out of battery! Any of his links will be in the Contacts tab and make sure to tell him I said 'Hi' if you see him at any meets.

'69 Charger: Hot Rod Style!

10/10/21

This 1969 Dodge Charger is owned by Kenemony.

Now, seeing this yesterday instantly made me want to write about it. This 1969 Dodge Charger is hot rod to the MAX!

With a flame style livery, you cant deny the fact that it's eye-catching. Apparently Kenemony was doing a confederate design, but saw a random Flaming Harley Davidson and decided to change it to the flames.

A 650 Horsepower built up Dodge V8 is whats poking up through the bonnet. Manual transmission swap, but due to its short gears the car tops out at around 180KPH.

Its apparently faster down the quarter mile than a modern day Dodge Demon. However on the half or full mile, the car struggles.

As mentioned earlier, the car has been swapped to a Manual 4 Speed Transmission, with a whole heap of modifications to the interior.

Safe to say, this charger is a beast, and I wish the car community had more hot rods and more flame liveries.

Thanks to ITOKI for letting us park on the dragstrip for the photos. <3

Toyota Cressida: Executive Luxury Turned Low Drift Car

09/10/21

This 1989 Toyota Cressida is owned by Wasu

This car is the epitome of what I like. A big old Toyota saloon car with a BN Sports Kit. In my eyes, cars don't get better than this.

This Cressida was given to Wasu as an unfinished project, and this finished product sure shows how hard work can pay off.

Running a whole bunch of parts including Bride seats and a Nardi wheel, this car is decked out for the street.

The car has a strange combination of Advan TC3s up front and R34 GTR wheels on the rear, nonetheless this car is sat stanced extremely nicely

With a 3.0L 2JZ engine swapped in, making around 430 horses at 16 PSI of boost, this car is as much of a weapon as it looks.

I just can't emphasise how good this car looks. And I seriously can't convey that through my photography. This car is extremely cool, and Wasu is a lucky guy to own it.

Tokyo Bay Meet: Hosted by CORSA

09/10/21

A Tokyo Bay car meet, with a whole lot of lag.

Todays venue for a 'little' car meet was a quiet dock, in Tokyo, that had once been used for motorsports and street racing.

This thing was the most surprising car of the meet. I didnt expect to like it, but it ended up being really cool! Whoever owns this please, contact me!

This Pink and White Subaru legacy was just waiting in front of the charger, like nothing was off about the car at all. Still not sure if pink would've been my choice, but it sure is different

Out of all the skylines at the meet (there was quite a few) this was my favourite

Would this really be a true meet if everyone's favourite Meihan Man didn't make a return?

Shreds car looks just as good as it did when i last featured it

My mistake from earlier, this IS still AJ's car.

This isn't the crossover episode I expected...

Mr Livington, please...

Even in the centre of Japan, supercars are common. Especially if they're heavily modified like this Ferrari

Safe to say, this MR2 is crake. No, literally, it's crake.

By far my favourite car of the meet. This JZX81 Mark II stole the show for me. I'm not so sure what caught my eye so much, but it sure was noticeably well put together.

I 100% want to feature this car.

That's all from me, apparently the meet became laggy and people complained, so they moved to Okuibuki, but for my computers sake, I didnt follow.

My apologies for not posting for about 2 months. PLEASE dm me with your cars and I might feature them, my content is running dry :/

I recommend checking out CORSA, I'd be surprised if you're not in it already...

Dan's BMWs: A pair of cars you won't see anywhere else.

31/08/21

E36 & E46 owned by kool_ferret, aka Dan.

'Hard pill to swallow' is what I'd say about this E36. While I love it and so do a lot of people, there are BMW purists who wont.

What do I think about this? I couldn't care less, as the car looked this good. On top of that, it hits a soft spot in me, as the car drifts.

The kit that makes this car stand out the way it does is made by Dan, loosely based off of a 326 POWER 3DSTAR kit, with a 326POWER wing.

Fitted with a Beams engine, purely for a pun, that explains the Toyota badges. 380HP and an engine swap I didn't think would be as cool as it was!

Also his E46, which as the headlights may lead you to believe, is not the compact model. This E46 Coupe has been heavily modified to drift yet again.

An ex-ASTRAL car, the fender fins were quickly removed after he quit. On the contrary, none of the character of his car has been taken away.

The car originally was made to make people mad, yet some people ended up liking it. The car was his platform to experiment with, and those experiments sure deserves an A+.

Even the wheel lights? come on Robert...

Once he lead me around the car, I was surprised by the wheel change on either side, and when he removed the skirts and bumper, the car looked fit for purpose.

Finally with the car's engine: a turbocharged S54 BMW engine, making around 600 horsepower. Made completely by Dan himself, its a nice change to the swap for the E36.

Here is Dan's channel, where you can see these cars and more!: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFYVRJrkJ0yPmkMeYg-pMsg

Honda NSX: An automotive legend, owned by a CC legend

28/08/21

Honda NSX NA2 owned by ajmeens.

Some people build one car, and wonder, wouldn't it be nice to have another car, but instead of 2 separate cars, 2 in 1?

Ajmeens has done just that, with his vast background in scripting allowing him to create a kit-swapper.

This allowed a standard looking Honda NSX to transform in front of my very own eyes.

And transform it did, from a 330 horsepower touge cruiser to a 447 horsepower highway beast.

Best of all, these cars all come with a Nitrous Kit installed. This kit allows the NSX to pull away from any car, including my more powerful NA2.

A white variant is used for racing, but still stays true to the golden Work Meisters and Sorcery body kit.

This car also has Custom Tail lights fitted, which is what most people will be seeing, whilst this car tears past them.

Here's a picture of his nitrous system in action!

The big bird in the centre is the Eastsiderz Crew Emblem, a division in AJ's crew.

Mazda RX7: Rotary fans rejoice.

27/08/21

This 1991 Mazda RX7 Type-X is owned by LongCW, with help from az_ito and ryosuke345.

This standard looking RX7 packs a punch: 525 horses from its streetported N/A 26B rotary engine.

Don't let the looks deceive you. The rotary under the bonnet propels this car all the way up to over 300 km/h.

Tronexe98 tuned - the car sticks to the ground with ease. The boys at Solvalou have worked wonders to this Mazda.

This mental looking Mazda was heavily based off Rob Dahm's car. This thing is RWD however, and competes in Drag Racing.

Engine made by Long himself, all in blender. The 1100 horsepower 3 rotor billet engine rockets this car down the quarter mile in 8.173 seconds.

The Feed RX7 kit, made by az_ito gives this car a powerful stance.

This custom made 326POWER FD kit was made by Long, for the Trackstar 326POWER fest

This car won the 'most detailed car' award at the fest. And with the livery accompanying the kit, the car sure deserves that title.

The custom kit is a one off, it has never been seen before in the CC. Its a special car to end a special collection of Rotary mayhem.

A special thanks to az_ito and ryosuke345 for making this car possible

Check out another one of Longs cars in the Pictures tab!

Nissan Stagea: A car almost too cool for this world.

26/08/21

Cars owned by Turbo_2JZ

This is the car that started Turbo's addiction to Stageas. This mostly standard 1998 model sits proudly in his garage as his first of many.

This RS-V Stagea is completely standard. Its stock RB25 DET still sounds like a symphony.

This thing is special. It won the Corsa Fujimi Kaido event, and when I drove it I could see why it did.

Its 414 Horsepower RB25 rockets this absolute boat along until 170 MPH. Safe to say, wherever I was racing, I sure hope its not against this.

This Stagea competed in D1 Streel Legal! It ran for the team 'Low Wonder'. It wasnt very competitive, but it had presence when it drifted today.

This car has so much character, from the angry headlight covers to the size of it. The car's Freeway Dolphin R kit gives it that stance it so clearly has.

This Expressway-esque Stagea has an Rb26 swapped into it, pushing around 900 Horsepower straight to the rear wheels. The Advan TC-3s complement its styling so well

The 'Big Body Club' is a club for large cars on the C1 Loop in Tokyo founded by Turbo himself, and this was such a perfect car for the owner of such a club, at around 3200LBS (1.6 Tonnes)

This Stagea will be Turbo's last one with this model, and with the similar look of his first one, the right way to go, I think.
