Monster Tajima

Straight off Speedhunters but def worth putting up, been a big fan of Tajima now for at least the last 4-5yrs and have followed his racing of Pikes Peak. This video is definately up there in terms of the feel and quality......

Think F1 drivers are onto something when they rate rally car drivers above themselves (well schumacher does anyway, least he is half modest unlike Alonso, Vettel and Hamilton).

Things that i noticed...

- 4.04 - theres a corner on Pikes Peak called Grouse Hill, if you're an aussie you might get a laugh from that, i know i did (but i am a little strange).

- 6.45 - really does prove that Tajima is the king of this ant hill, thats a fairly fierce drop on the right hand side and he chews it up and spits it out quicker than that shithouse blackberry hubba bubba.


Enjoy :), make the effort to watch all 11mins, def worth it.

Where's Wally


Probably over in that pine forest........but pay attention to the WRX in front of the forest. Its probably way too low for aus because you'll create a traffic jam at McDonalds drivethrough at 2am but it is fucking cool, especially with the pipe out the but. Only one thing could turn this thing from cool to plain rad.......your friendly neighbourhood anti lag.......firey, angry and very loud anti lag.

All Nightmare Long


Supras and huge turboes go together like lamb and tuna fish......how about spaghetti and meatball? you more comfortable with that terminology

Interesting....

I'm watching a video about Callaway Corvettes and Highway To The Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins comes on............interesting

40 zone motherfuckers



If i felt like driving something that was more likely to kill me rather than get me home in relatively similar shape to how i left.......i would rock one of these monsters.

Theres a reason why theres only one yank crazy enough to drift one of these dudes, here is one other dude who is probably sillier than making a camp fire in a space ship. Will most likely find out in the future this dude is either Ghostrider on a holiday from bikes or the actual real Stig who isn't the dude prancing around in a white jumpsuit.

Investigationing

Hello

Previous fears of mass mutilation with nibblers, grinders and oxys have now been squashed after closer observations concluded i was being a chick and getting worried about stupid little things when it turns out that its only had the arches oxyed........not the whole side of the car gutted like i had first though. These fears were fed because of the mass layering of fibreglass to smooth out the screwed in guards........i'm thinking massively excessive but it does still look pretty mad so who knows.

SOOOOOO the plan is to get this 1J in by the end of this weekend (friday night would be nice though) *Crosses fingers and toes and balls* and then probably track this beasty, give it a couple of flings and hope the 1J doesn't get hot and go pop then we'll pull the rear over fenders off and put some slightly more subtle ones one.

I really dig the rims that are currently on it but in order to keep things all legal down below i may yet have to lose these for the greater good......which really sucks because they look horn and the specs are pretty rad to boot try F - 18X9 -10 and R - 18X10 -10. Yeah i know......like i said pretty knarly for an S13.......anywho i may yet see what i can do to pull tight fitment on these and just run my rundown Buddyclub P1s most of the time...haven't really thought about that stage too much but with 50mm hanging off the bum its far from non-defectable and streetable, thinking 30mm might be the way to go.

Stay tuned kids, the next couple of days are going to get pretty interesting
