I have a seen a lot cool stuff in my time, but this might be the coolest.
A squad of 70 chassis Corolla sedan's from Motor Fix out in Gifu. The guys from Motor Fix don't need much description. They simply build the most radical 70 chassis Corolla's and drive them to the brink of (and sometimes past the brink of) complete destruction.
Seriously, this stuff is so awesome.
MSC has some great photos of these guys absolutely tearing it up in both single and tandem competition.
Rust and battle damage have never been so sexy. The epitome of a privateer warrior.
The 5 valve 4AGE provides no shortage of power and also sings a beautiful song on the track.
Headlights, turn signals, and straight body panels are for girls!
But if you are running headlights, the quad units are quite handsome.
The 5 valve-powered car in the paddock.
MSC tandem comp last year at YZ Circuit.
16 valve 4AGZE swap in a TE71.
Someone stateside should build a 70 chassis Corolla and run in Formula D.
Oh yeah, there's videos too-
Response soukoukai at YZ Circuit.
Suzuka Twin Circuit. Watch the angle and entry technique of the silver car. Nuts.
Going for the glory at MSC YZ Circuit.
How can you not love this stuff?
Peoples who not love this are crazy. How can someone do not love the sound of a screaming engine, and the "vintage" body of those cars marked with battle scars and rust points!!!! I've seen those cars on pictures on the MSC website but rare are the videos (in fact I haven't search that much for it), thanks for sharing it!!

Awesome, the silver KE70 looks like it's nearly going into corners tail first! The scream if the engines is just beautiful!

There used to be two 70 chassis cars competing in D1NZ.
One was powered by a N/A 16V 4AGE and the other by a turbo 4AGE.
They used to rip it up and the N/A car came in the top six of the final D1NZ event of 2006.

Racing cars have there own mechanics and so there is no need for the garages. This race cars always need the technician on the races so that they can get all the things done.
