Miatas for Rob

3 comments

Rob, I think you set the standard for miatas in the USA. All I see now are slammed miatas with low offset wheels.

Here are a couple I saw today while out getting lunch.

EDIT: cropped due to the fact that I do not post fake wheels on this website LOL

Nadine was on a photography trip this weekend and borrowed my dad’s SLR. Here’s a pic she took of Yuta’s lawnmower in front of Portillo’s.

I can only go to Portillo’s a few times a year for fear of ending my life early via cardiac arrest.  I’m sure even their salads are bad for you haha!  Here’s my magical combination at Portillo’s: Italian Beef dipped with mozzarella and hot peppers and a root beer.  Bam -10 health points!

Thanks Yuta and Lucky for taking the time to hang out!  It was fun!

Here’s another view of Saito launching his big sedan into the air. Thanks to Ben in Chicago for sending me this!

First ass-first entries was the new thing to do… now you have to get all 4 wheels in the air to be cool.

Rob, you’ve done the man style entries at Bihoku.  Feel proud!

Say no to the long e-brake junk!

In today’s world where the internet never forgets anything, I’m having the hardest time trying to find pictures of some really good AE86s for 8/6 day.

It seems that some of these cars were pre-internet drifting hype and that google has allowed them to be forgotten. If anybody has some good photos of great ae86s back in the day, please post them somewhere so they can be remembered. Here are some that I just could not find!

  • Terasaki Gen – Street Levin pre D1 graphics
  • Kamimoto Hisashi – Red supercharged Trueno
  • Hiro Sumida – Rust colored Trueno with gold Dori Dori
  • Yamashita and Hiroshi twin Running Free Truenos

Since I couldn’t find any pictures of the cars I wanted to post, here’s a backup pic – Tsuchiya’s TRD Trueno. This car inspired a lot of people!

Oh heck, and I might as well through in a couple others.

Here’s Steve’s ae86 in my old driveway:

And Perry’s new style AE86 before it got mashed and before he joined the Imola Red club.  Haha “MANFOOT”
