Theme Tuesdays: Vintage JDM

Mar 22, 2011

A few weeks ago, before Japan was devastated by intense tsunami’s and earthquakes, my friend Aidan put forth the suggestion that I do a post on vintage JDM rides and even sent in a few pics to get me started.

Japan’s had a lot of influence the way we tune our cars here in North America and are thus held in pretty high regard. What’s happened there currently is terrible but I have no doubt in my mind that years down the road, once it’s all cleaned up Japan will emerge stronger than ever.

old_school_japan_1 — I've always wondered what fender mirrors are like to drive with

old_school_japan_2 — GTRs have always had an aggressive look to them

old_school_japan_3 — Do want this garage, and it's contents

old_school_japan_4 — A few drastic body mods away from Boso

old_school_japan_5 — Man, what happened with the Celica

old_school_japan_6 — They used to be such a great looking car

old_school_japan_7 — Fat and Flush contender

old_school_japan_9_2000_gt — Toyota 2000gts remind me of classic British racing cars

old_school_japan_8 — I don't know a lot about the Mazda SP but I like this ad

old_school_japan_10_corolla_sr5 — Perfect Corolla SR5

old_school_japan_13 — Couldn't do this without throwing a 510 in

old_school_japan_18_kenmeri — Fatlace Ken Meri

old_school_japan_civic_1200s — I love this Civic 1200s, doesn't hurt it has an extensive track history

old_school_japan_nissan_s30 — Super Street FTW

I’ve yet to touch on the topic of donating to Japan as I’ve just been doing it whereverr and whenever I can. If you want to donate but haven’t yet you can do so via your local Red Cross.

If you want to donate and get a sticker for your trouble then you can do that via the following sites:
Canibeat
Yuta Akaishi (Heartbreaker for Japan)
Pray for Japan
and
site sponsor: Nextmods Pray for Japan intiative.

Just want to point out that black car number 34 is a Z600, not N600.

The GTR tagged as a ken meri is actually a hakosuka. Cool post anyway 😉
