Nicky Hallahan… He borrowed his wife’s skyline to compete in Driftfest round one, the car was having engine trouble all day… its pretty much a full more or less casual road car and he was busting out insane runs all day Saturday… he also left a little love tap at the end in this qualifying run… what a hero
This little beauty was drowning in a sea of datsun metal… even took a hit, what a car.. big respect to the driver.
I’m finally glad this feature happened. This has been a long time in the making. Many of you should know this car by now or its original look which Adrian brought out for to play last year in Prodrift. I’ve always had such a soft spot for this car ever since it came in from Japan rocking the Shino Kouba stickers and fat Watanabes. This year Adrian has revamped the car in Team Hankook livery and holy shit does it look good.
Ah, another AE86 track day. Anyone who follows this blog will know how much we enjoy this chassis. Anytime there is a track day for the 86 movement it always brings a very interesting selection of cars.
Ireland has to have one of the most solid loves for the AE86 in the world. We literally stole thousands of them from Japan. On top of buying these out of Japan we have all the goodies and people around the country manage to build some incredible examples time and time again. No other movement inside the car scene seems to be as good.
Going to start a new section of scans.. for all the goodness that never made it to the internet… stay tuned for some serious goodness…
HYPER REV VOL.148
I honestly didn’t know what to expect when approaching this car.. Pictures do not do it justice. In Ireland, we don’t exactly have much of a VIP scene… there may be about two to three proper VIP styled cars amongst a sea of everything else. Even though I tried to take decent pictures I couldn’t help but think about just how impressive this v300 was in real life.
The JZX100, a car that has always been at the top of the list of four doors to own… for some reason the idea of owning any of the Chaser, Cresta, or Mk2’s line has always appealed more than owning a Mercedes or BMW FR platform. The fact that Japan even created the cars and built each of the three with the same chassis but top half for a different reason is too awesome. They are just bad ass… simple as, in any colour or form. This example ticks all the right boxes…
That ugly scary 4WD evil twin, locked in the basement… with Evo seven running gear and a ridiculous set of 18 x 10 SE37ks. Nothing inside but a seat, wheel and shifter… what a sick joke!
