selbsterklärend. Sonst würde hier ja nicht jeder zweite die zu kleinen Felgen auf diesen Autos bemängeln. Noch ein bisschen Tuning ... ;)

I have invented a way to get Kei cars safe enough to pass U.S. collision requirements.

Please help me get this idea moving.

Great introduction.

The ALways! Racing Team is great. They also have nice friends with crazy engine converts.

The drifting Mira L700 is a 4wd model which is equipped with a stiff LSD and removed front drive shafts.

Mike, could you be so kind and try to make an overview of the typical k-car events in Japan ?

I know that there are some k-car oldtimer race events, the K4GP and many more things.

Cheers,

Daniel

awesome article! kei-style has been in a nice warm place in my heart ever since i saw it in a racing game by Genki ages ago... i wish we had such small cars here in Canada :(

closest thing we have would be the smart, followed by the honda fit and toyota yaris (vitz), but it would be quite the awesome to see VW Lupo or VW Fox (the current one, the lupo's replacement), or even some of the wilder japanese superminis, rolling around the land.

I love Kei cars!!

The reason the Beat isn't tuned as much as the Cappucino is because the Beat's runs in NA trim, and making much more power out of a NA 3 banger is much more difficult than the Cappucino's turboed motor.

I look through a lot of Kei car magazines and the Beat really is rarely tuned, and very costly at that.
