Isn't Daihatsu & Toyota the same thing ?! I mean they had Daihatsu versions of the Camry, bB, and probably the Carina as well ...

The body kit on the JZX100 Chaser is BN Sports Type 1, front and skirts. The hood is Garage S, and the front and rear fenders are Traum GT. The grille is Hippo Sleek.

Whoops my mistake. Not sure why I wrote "Lang" when it's a Ridge kit.

I can't remember the guys name but I met the owner of that NSX at some D1SL Regional round (forget which one) and chatted with him a bit. He came off like a big douche... I love that Laurel but the best of one of all time has to be Takeshi's from V-Factory!

Takumi

USA is a great opportunity for japanese drivers to drive and make some money. What happened to Ueo is just another part of the sport. They didn't prohibited him from competing, they didn't side line his car because of "illegal modifications". And seriously, don't be surprised if you see UEO in competition in FD next year.

Its Vertex Ridge, not Lang. You can see that its widebody. I have the same one in my garage.

!!! it should be noted that i MUCH prefer the looks of the GT-R models over their lesser bretheren, i was only talking about the driving experience

@Takumi: What the heck are you talking about? Regardless of what happened at the RBDC, Matsui is more than capable enough to give the american scene a run for it's money. Why WOULDN'T you wanna see him here?

So many good cars in this post.

The Z looks so good as well as the Toyota Carina.

I love the fact that there are many other cool RWD drift machines at the track in Japan, unlike stateside.

Mike thanks for the clear up on that Daihatsu and the driver Ryoji RIP.

Re: Matsui's car. I'm not sure what Takumi is talking about [i don't keep up with the drift scene that much anymore] but I would love to see that Supra in person or atleast some hi-res detailed photos of it and that interesting conversion.

Re:ER34. I have always liked the GTS-T models more than the GT-R models.
