one more thing. there is quite a bit of rice too

 

I'm all for heritage, but those are just unappealing to me in every way. Especially the one with '87 celica GTS wheels (second over from right) because that's a bad flashback of a completely different story there

 

i see sooo many photos of cars like these from Japan.... i've always wondered, are they for real? i mean, do they actually drive around in this? or are they making fun of it.... exhibition perhaps? was this the trend back then?

 

i have no clue but i did just now notice the RSP SC in the background of that pic.

 

Check this out...this is from the link of pics.

350Z vert


With EJ20 or some sort of subaru motor


And G35 rear end

 

They are for real! I wondered the same thing and I asked SCtexas about it and he said this was sort of an early version of VIP. It has it's own name and people still mod like this but it eventually morphed into what we know as VIP now.

 

Its called bozuka(SP?)
Its still popular these days. Old school cars with crazy body kits, crazy offset wheels riveted fender flares and crazy 5 ft high exhausts.

 

Thanks Grif!!

 

i personally don't like the 350/g35 conversion myself.. I like the g35 by itself, plus i'm not a big fan of convertible's either... so that's a subaru motor in there?

 

Here's another, not so crazy.

 

I think the modding trend you guys are talking about is called bozosoku. They still have that kinda trend thesedays (or from what I've seen in Japan), with Cimas etc. wtih widebody conversions, nuts wings etc etc... like the vans they do up over there.

 

5spdSC300: that is actually a D32 eclipse......... just in case anyones cares

 

That car is in one of my option magazines and its says z33 and im pretty sure it wasn't refering the the headlights. I can't read japanese so i could be totally wrong. Japan also never got the d32 eclipse as far as i know. Can anyone confirm exactly what this car is . Im curious to know now. I can take a pic of my option mag of the car and maybe someone can translate it for us.

 

I thought it was a 350Z as well. Interesting. Oh, the Z33 front and G35 rear looks nice imo. They suit each other well.
