Year 2010 is getting closer and closer, I wish you all the best in 2010, hope you reach all your goals and wishes and remember: after rain, sun always shines:)
I started this blog this year, because I just enjoy JDM cars, searching and posting JDM content is just so much fun to do
I hope this blog grows in 2010 and content gets better and better and fun to read:)
Bippu, what does it mean? It’s modification of JDM luxury cars with purpose to make them even more luxurious. It’s also called VIP style (it’s obviously why). Whole bippu thing started with Yakuzas. They used to drive around with high-priced European luxury cars and they were getting too much attention by the police and rival gangs. Luxury EU cars were spotted easily, so they decided to drive JDM cars wich don’t get so much attention by others. But JDM limo sedans were not so exotic, so they started to mod them Bippu style and make pimp-mobils out of them:)
Typical bippu mods are big wheels, large mufflers, and lowered suspensions straight to the ground. It was all made on JDM sedans and limos, and with years, bippu style passed on minivans and kei cars and got very popular among styling freaks.
Hope you like this new “section” ;) Oldschool Toyota Crown
Totally renovated oldschool Toyota Corolla AE71 (the fourth Corolla generation) from Philippines. Hachis deserve to live, respect to renovation project, this AE71 Corolla looks like a brand new car. Equipped with LSD from AE86 GTS and powered by “Black top” engine – Toyota’s 20v 4A-GE engine, which came out in 5.generation of Corollas and is originally equipped with ITB. Sounds evil, as it really is! pics via: superstreetonline
First unofficial testing of Honda HSV-10 GT at Suzuka circuit, Japan. Can’t tell you much, I can only show you! Listen to that sound of 3.4L v8 engine at high rpm! NSX of new Super GT generation is here.
What a body graphic by Designwerx on silver Civic EG6! I’m not a body stickers and graphic fan, but this thing sure looks hot! A true racing look, EG6 sitting on Spoon rims. Photo by Nick_Me
First official picture of substitute for "old" Honda NSX. It's not going to be a civil car. For now... it will be only be produced in 5 examples (teams: ARTA, Dome, Real Racing, TEAM Kunimitsu and Nakajima Racing) in the beginning of 2010 for racing purposes in Japan Super GT series. Almost full carbon-fibre body runned by 3,4L V8 engine which shall produce about 600 bhp! HSV-10 GT is going to rev up to 10.300rpm, it means we can expect some crazy sound coming out of engine. We wish Honda HSV-10 GT all the best, to sucessfully continue path of a legendary NSX.
Remember driving on a highway at more than 200 Kph? Remember how trees and landscape are dissapearing fast when you look through the window? Imagine driving sideways at that speed in 750 hp Nissan Silvia S14... priceless :)
Should I say anything? Action of policemen in L.A. to prevent illegal street races... Because building a racetrack is too expensive. Morons... Video of destroying those cars here
Epic fail, Honda Integra missed shift on 1/4mile dragrace. 2nd gear revs to top end 9k+rpm, than missed 3rd gear, back to 1st, about 12k+rpm... Result: broken engine.
Another beautiful car from dut619 Infiniti G35 on SSR wheels in gold with polished edges. In a combo on white limo, can't get hotter! Ling Ly photo shootings are one of my favorites and I'm sure JDM Racing blog will stay in touch for more pictures.
Hot Version JDM exhaust catalog for Honda Integra DC5 K-series from last year. My voice goes to J's Racing circuit muffler Titanium 70RR, such a perfect racing sound.
Just an old brochure of JDM Nissan Skyline GT-R NUR (Nürburgring spec) and Z-Tune R34 from some magazine.Nice description for Z-tune Skyline, 440kw beast, that's about 600hp! Come here Ferrari, Ferarri! This monster beats the crap out of any Ferrari.
It was back in 2004 where Japan tuners gathered at Tsukuba Circuit to race in Video Option's 2004 Tsukuba Super Lap Challenge. HKS had Tsukuba circuit record that time (55 seconds flat), made by their HKS Lancer Evolution 8 Hypermax TRB02. This 552hp monster was built especially to break Tsukuba Circuit fastest tuner-car time. TRB literally means Tsukuba Record Breaker.
HKS EVO 8 TRB02 had a super-light body made of carbon fiber material. Bumpers, seat, wing, doors, bonnet, roof... it was all super light with crazy power/weight ratio. Interior of course specially designed for TRB Evo8 driver Nobuteru Taniguchi and his driving style; Takata seat-belt, Bride Zeta III CF seat, Chrono DB oil pressure meter... Sitting on gold Advan RG II racing wheels with Yokohama A048 (265-35-R18) tires, it was the meanest looking EVO ever.
HKS that day with driver Nobuteru Tanaguchi gave a lesson to other tuners what a CF bodied HKS tuned EVO8 can do, they broke their own record, setting a super-lap time 54,739 seconds. HKS had a few more runs, but tragedy happened after super-lap, brakes locked before corner and Taniguchi drove a car to the wall. Things like that happen when the car is driving on the edge of limit, I bet Taniguchi was looking for time in 53.xxx second range.
All the engine tuning parts are still available at HKS, so if you have about 100+k$ too much, you can build your own HKS TRB02 EVO 8 Hypermax.
Don't know why, but I fall in love in SS Works Honda CRX. With big ass rear double-wing, diffusor and sharp front lip (let's face it)it isn't an extra good looking car:), but all of the exterior accessories are necessary for doing their function - grip. Grip is something that you have to miss when driving an SS Work CRX with only 730kg! Super light body is powered by B18C engine (Integra Type R) bored and stroked to 2.0L capacity and tuned to about 240hp. It's a monster however you look at it. I posted 2 videos of SS Works CRX in action, it's a must-see! SS Works CRX @ Tsukuba SS Works CRX @ Ebisu Pics from: crazuknights
Ultimate VTEC Battle 2009 @ Tsukuba Circuit. Which one would you choose to be in your garage? Honda CRX SS works - 230PS / 730kg Honda NSX Esprit - 570PS / 1300kg Honda S2000 ASM - 340PS / 1005kg Honda Fit J's Racing - 330PS / 900kg
For all of those who still don't know what to ask Santa clause for. One example of Acura NSX standing on Advan RS rims like this and I promise I'll be a good boy and ask for no more presents till the end of my life.
