A friend of mine faces situations like these on a regular basis as he drives one of these
when he's not rolling around in his daily driver


For obvious reasons any doubts turn into embarrassment when they see him

But I like this one best:

If Watanabe's are rare, then they must be Konig Rewinds!
Actually, it's the other way around... It used to be the case that Japanese wheels were stupidly difficult to obtain and a set of Wats cost a small fortune. Hence we bought the "cheaper" Konig Rewinds. But the number of Wats on the market today outnumber the Rewinds. And finally, the wheels in question are Black Racing and even rarer than Wats!

are they of you're silver coupe? If I remember corectly they cam on that car when it was imported.

This caught my attention the other day

Toyota GT86 by Power uP

Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I have to doubt that the car has been within 100 miles of Ebisu circuit though.

Oh wow, it's so 2002 or 2003-ish! I wonder if the owner went for the "retro" looks!

There's an SW20 around here somewhere that has similar paint/graphics. It's always driving the opposite direction when I see it so I haven't got a photo, but I'm wondering if it's owned by the same guy and he just has a style that he applies to all his cars.

For those who missed it, the Sileighty Mania Podcast interviewed Hiroshi Takahashi (a.k.a. Kaicho), also known as RunningFree86. They had to divide the interview up into two episodes. It has a total length of 3 hours but believe me: it's time well spent!

Season 2 Episode 11 (part 1):

Season 2 Episode 11 (part 2):

I was amazed to learn the story of Mr. K. earning some side money in the early 1990s by scamming wannabe drifters with team-stickers.

I can't believe we all missed this one.

I stumbled upon this great looking blue kouki 2-door Levin GT:

It looks stunning and has been resto-modded very nicely.

But there is another reason why I like this car so much:

It's AE86 number 200000!

Probably the best Tsuchiya replica I've ever seen. I'm aware that some of the people here might not like the presenter though.
