Been another crazy weekend with a little bit of film at D1SL, then some of the most amazing touge i have ever seen in my life. Take a quick look at these snaps to see what i am talking about.
Heres some snaps taken off the video camera from D1SL, close drifting is an understatement.
This is just a progress video clip to show you we are moving forward week by week with filming.
Nothing special nothing in depth just a quick slap together for you.
So lifes been a bit busy lately with police giving me trouble then immigration breathing down my neck so in between stressing and pulling out my hair I have finally put the D1SL Mobara feature together, sorry for lack of updates!
Everyone knows there is more to drifting then just blazing tyres but no one shows it, so in this video I wanted to show what goes on behind all the tyre smoke. The video starts off slow and warm but it doesn’t take too long before we get back to the throttle smashing tyre blazing. Big thanks go out to Andy and Emily from PowerVehicles.com for karting my butt around and letting me crash at there place, much love.
Part II will be just be a quick run down of the final tandem runs but it was raining so hard it made for some slow and non-eventfil action, hence why its getting its own video as to not take away from Part 1.
Ok so heres just another quick throw together video from some older footage i had laying around.
Sorry for the jumpy footage but I was riding passenger in another JZX100 getting thrown sideways in 3rd gear with no suction mount for the camera just my hands.
I’m riding shotgun in a JZX100 trying to film another a JZX100 and JZX110 all with 500HP+ battling it out at Nikko.
Its filled with blinding fresh bake and a closer then expected near miss.
Sneak Peak, stay tuned video will be published this week, subscribe to stay up to date.
When I first landed in Japan I refused to buy a car that I could get back in Australia, for me there is no fun in modifying a car that I have already owned or I have seen parked on every corner street so I set out on the hunt for a JZX100. I slowly started to notice that the JZX100 was parked on every corner street in Japan and at any local track day they would make up the large majority of cars in the field. This coupled with the fact they have a chassis about as rigid as banana and after one good crash it would also be shaped like a banana my good friend Hoshino from Hoshino Car Style told me a JZX90 would be the best bet due to the smaller numbers seen on track days and a much stronger and stiffer chassis design, I agreed as he would be the one fixing my car when I crashed it.
Heres an old video i made of the 07 Nikko Circuit event.
This video includes Tabei drifting his 600HP JZX100 from the track through the pitting area, so badass.
