RWB Nostalgia

Was looking through some old photographs today when I had a nostalgic moment.

February 18, 2008.

That was the first day I ever laid eyes on a full-fledged RWB Porsche during a track day at Tsukuba Circuit.

Prior to this I'd only seen these mythical beasts in the black and white pages of Autoworks magazine. To see one in the flesh was incredible to say the least.

It's pretty unreal to see how much exposure Nakai-san's little body shop has gotten since then. Now, just a few years later the man is working his magic on cars from around the globe.

Long live RWB!

Old photos...

I like them.

Found on the HAMB.

Koguchi Power

Just a few photos from when Rod, Antonio, and myself headed out to Koguchi Power in Tochigi-ken on a typically hot and rainy summer day.

He (Koguchi) is one cool dude.

 

Astro Style

090 Motoring's Chevy Astro Van is tough. Picture is from at Super American Sunday at Twin Ring Motegi, 2008.

Happiness is...

...running errands in an 86 on the first rainy day of the season.

Naniwa Tomoare

Driving hard and being tough on the highways of Osaka.

Lots of cool Hondas in this series.

Makes you want to go out and drive.

Be Right Back

Heading on vacation for a week so that will explain the lack of upates over the coming days. More when I return!

 

Kenmeri & S30Z + VR38DETT

So there's a little shop in Aichi-ken called Garage OMR and they got their hands on a couple Nissan R35 GTR VR38DETT motorsets.

Now what to do these engines?

How about dropping one them into a fully restored Kenmeri Skyline?

And then maybe slide another into the engine bay of an S30Z?

That's what there plans are. Not an easy task I imagine, but should be something to see when finished.

Photos found on Studio Sato's blog.

It just feels like one of those Porsche kind of days.
