The Inspiration: Okayama Outtakes

Okayama, 1 year after.  Exactly a year after 2016’s show week, I decided to include outtakes from Motor Games Japan to 100% cover all transpired events during that weekend. A highly acknowledged event in the region, more than 300 cars showed up to display different approaches in Japanese car culture. Here are some of the builds found in…

illest Taiwan LHD s15 Silvia

Our friends from Japan, “Garage Revolver” came over to Taipei, Taiwan to have a car meet. While here they were nice enough to take some pics of our LHD s15 Silvia. Like some of the other Asian countries, cars you want to register for road use need to be LHD. Because of the extra hassle of…

The Spirit-Rei Miyabi S13

“Miyabi is one of the traditional Japanese aesthetic ideals, though not as prevalent as Iki or Wabi-sabi. In modern Japanese, the word is usually translated as elegance, refinement, or courtliness and sometimes refers to a heart-breaker.” Combine these elements with a Silvia S13, Work Wheels Japan and Spirit-Rei for their next demo car. The results? Modern Japanese…

VIP x drift style S14 from Japan

With the rise of fitment enthusiasts in the last 5 years, it has also been a solid choice due to its large wheel well…

Offset Kings Japan, Nissan Style

If I could choose one Japanese car brand to drive forever, it would be a Nissan. For the past 10 years, Silvias and Skylines are the cars I pay closer and immediate attention during meets and shows. It has been a part of my automotive DNA and that’s what makes this recap of Offset Kings…

Conversations with Kei Miura

Game-changing designer, art maestro, extraordinaire. These are the words that best describe TRA Kyoto’s Kei Miura. Last July, I had the privilege to meet and talk about design with him. So what’s really in for the Miura-San? As a graduate of Industrial Design, I must say that he is one of the men that I…

The Hiroshima Bomber

TRA-Kyoto. It may be hard to stand out from the rest with the growing number of S-Chassis on a 6666 designed kit. Don’t get me wrong, but I still believe that Rocket Bunny kits really do look good, if not the best. But Takashi Mine‘s add-ons made his PS13 distinct with his personal touches. On…

The Hectopascal Silvia

Some build cars to stand out from the rest, mostly go with the trends and there are a few who build with their own taste. With all the beautiful Silvia‘s I encountered during my recent trip to Japan, Ty Okamoto‘s S14 stood out because of its simple approach. With the vast availability of parts for…
