326 POWER S15 loading up after a long, competitive day at YZ Circuit x

Since everyone is posting photos from the most recent Hellaflush, I’ll continue with the theme however from the previous show – in Kansai. Here is a photo of Shou Kimura’s 326 Zenki rolling into the show early in the morning x

I thought I would add a little more colour to this page with Takashi Kusunoki-San’s Team D L K 326 kitted S15 x

At the end of Hellaflush I had a hard decision to make. It was either stay up the top of the circuit where a handful of cars drifted or head down to the exit onto the main road and capture the awesome cars leaving along this picturesque road. I don’t regret my decision watching and capturing the cars leaving the event at all. Check out this shot of the 326 POWER Zenki leaving x

Definitely a favourite at Hellaflush Kansai, have a killer weekend everyone x

This will conclude my posts from Japan. Not from what I’ve shot but this will be my final article from Japan before I board a flight back to Australia. I have spent just under 2 months, once again venturing this limitless country. In the 7 weeks of being here I have met so many new faces, travelled just under 5,500km’s by car, train and foot to witness some awesome events, shows and sights. Within those 5,500km’s we have stretched from the Northern prefecture of Miyagi-ken (Sendai) all the way down to Hyogo-ken (Nishiwaki). Each and every time I come to Japan I never really know what I am in for, this trip has once again sprung out at me like a punch in the face with each day progressing into something extremely exciting. Every weekend has been spent shooting constantly which means 1-2 hours of sleep from Friday morning to Sunday night if we were lucky. Throughout the weeks have been more relaxing, checking out places I haven’t the past few times being in Japan and occasionally making our way out to track days or meeting up with friends. Here are some people I’d like to say thanks for everything, especially meeting you after speaking for so long. Park, Joel, Jesse, Ewan, Travis Emily & Andy. Team DLK – Kushunoki Takashi-San, Kimura Shou-San, Ryogo Saitoh-San. Team REVIEW – Shota Sasada-San, Kenji Ariki-San, Nakagawa-San, Idekawa-San, Umeda-San and Sato-San. LOWBRAIN – Yuu-San, Shingo-San, Abe-San Muko-San, Takuya-San. Team Freee’s ☆ – Ryohei-San, Hiroyuki-San, Tatsuya-San and the rest of the team. RWB – Nojima-San, Shinji-San, Nakai-San and Tomotake-San. Luke, Dino, Mark, Max and Tim all the way from the USA for the Hellaflush Kansai at Central Circuit. Honda Boys – Nakamaru-San, Shota-San, Seita-San and Kato-San. Also, my american friends from the base: Colin, Curtis, Charles & Rod. ありがと 皆さん！

With just under 350gb’s, approximately 24,000 digital photos captured and a handful roll of films I’m really looking forward to showcasing what I’ve frozen over the past few months here in Japan. Stay tuned. Casey x

One of the nicest fellows I’ve met this trip – Ryogo-San, the owner of this 326 kitted Kouki S14 from team DLK. To be honest I didn’t think this trip would allow me to see the 326 cars in real life, however, once again I was caught off guard and saw a handful of them at Hellaflush Kansai. I wouldn’t call this a tease I would more-so call it an insight to a preview of what is to come over the next few months. I will be back in Australia within the next few weeks and definitely have some new thoughts and ideas for the site. I hope you guys are enjoying my updates here from Japan. Casey x

A weekend away in Nagoya couldn’t have possibly gotten any better. From a full day trawling through shops such as Up Garage and truck stores. Then, to a very special workshop which I will go in depth on a later date. Concluded by a round of MSC at the ever so scenic ヒガシ YZ Circuit. A team I’ve been following for years are the R32 Low Down Style crew from the Nagoya region which surprisingly were at the event. We have had around 2 hours sleep over the weekend so it’s time to get some rest x

I thought it would be a little different to put up a sequence photo of the one and only Jesse Streeter throwing down a perfect lap @ Meihan Sports Land back in 2011. Here he is, 3rd gear, just braking traction in order to link from the first left hand corner, along the straight…

…directly into the wall of Meihan, on lock, spot on.

Around the hairpin, continuing his way around the circuit. I could watch drifting all day, everyday at Meihan or any track in Japan for that matter x

3 2 6 POWER Zenki in the snow, enjoy! x
