This Nissan C33 Laurel was one ride that really grabbed my attention at this past Drift Matsuri. I never actually saw it in action but knew I had to grab some shots before the weekend ended. I have a weak spot for blistered fenders and extended arches, especially when they are appropriately filled up with sexy rims. One thing that makes this C33 special
Got a lot of requests this picture be posted up as a wallpaper. So here it is, the candy red 180SX with S14 front from Ebisu Drift Matsuri. Head to the desktop section to grab it. - Dino Dalle Carbonare
I don't know about you but I'm the kind of guy that gets way too attached to things, especially cars. This is probably why I had a hard time seeing cool JDM drift cars get voluntarily smashed up at Ebisu this past weekend. Sure they are on their last leg, but the optimist in me always sees the potential in a car, after all everything can be
Ebisu circuit truly is a magical place. You could see it this past weekend at the Matsuri where the drifters were like kids in a candy store. Most wanted to sample all that the compound has to offer from the scary wall at the Minami course, to the blind crest at the Nishi short-course and the fast and more grip oriented Higashi. I was driving back and
It was back up to Ebisu circuit this past weekend for me, to cover the summer installment of the legendary Drift Matsuri, but little did I know the 48-hours of non-stop drifting would be joined by 48-hours of non-stop rain! Everyone there got soaked down to their underwear and socks but even the damp conditions didn't stop people from having fun
As a final installment from Ebisu and the crazy Spring Drift Matsuri I have chosen some of my favorite shots I got during the week-end. Remember these two Run Free hachiroku's sitting quietly in the pits in Part 2? Well here they are catching some air at Minami, dropping down sideways onto the pit straight. I found myself returning back up to "Kita"
Don't let the picture above fool you, the night drifting session at Drift Matsuri was dark. Very dark! The few floodlights scattered around the Minami course did little to illuminate the track, but it sure didn't stop people from going at it throughout the night. The action began to pick up around 11pm with a constant flow of cars entering the
My adventure up to the Drift Matsuri started late on Friday night when a couple of friends and I left for Fujkushima-ken. The Golden Week traffic and the toll discounts on the highways, for those using ETC, meant that a 4 hour drive turned into an 8 hour nightmare! We arrived at the Ebisu gates at 6 am, which allowed us to get in nice an early and set
This week-end has been all about hardcore drifting, and when I mean hardcore, I'm not joking! The Drift Matsuri held in Ebisu is one of those events you really have to witness once in your life, where else do you get 48-hours of non-stop drifting on a selection of seven courses! Drifters flocked from surrounding prefectures, many coming from very
