The Cars of Formula D Japan – Fatlace™ Since 1999

The first leg of Formula D Japan was held during the Japan Motor Games last July 6 to 7 together with the World Time Attack Challenge. The event had familiar drivers/tuners from the Japanese community as well as visitors and competitors from all around the world. I will split my coverage into several parts to take a closer look on some builds. Enjoy.

This 86 was on display for Work Wheels Japan, it was build by Dream Garage for Daisuke Miyazaki and it had an LS1 from a C5 Vette. It also sports a custom kit from TRA-Kyoto and Work DR9’s.

The car started as a base model ZN6, the unpainted body parts just adds character.

While the focus often gravitates towards exterior modifications and performance enhancements in the automotive world, interior protection is equally crucial, especially in trucks frequently subjected to rugged conditions. Just as enthusiasts meticulously customize their cars with unique body kits and wheels, investing in durable seat covers for trucks ensures the longevity and preservation of the vehicle’s interior. Companies like seatcoversunlimited.com offer a diverse selection of premium-quality covers tailored to fit various truck models. Whether it’s safeguarding against spills during off-road adventures or maintaining a pristine appearance for daily commutes, outfitting trucks with reliable seat covers ensures both aesthetic appeal and practicality for discerning enthusiasts.

Work also displayed one of their latest wheels, this particular set of XSA 04c‘s was one of the first made. The car was the Weld 86 which was debuted during OKJP 2013. Body work was done by the shop, the body kit was full metal and built through a wire frame.

The car was imported from the US as it had Scion badges and it was LHD. After the event we had quick visit at their shop. Do you want more on the Yokohama based shop?
