If you’re a into cars, or into the Japanese car culture I should say you would probably agree with me when I say that nothing can top watching the sun fade behind mountain ranges, watching cars slide some of the best drift circuits in the world.

I’ve seen some pretty interesting driving on the Minami course at Ebisu. Although nothing can compare to the skill that runs through the hands of this driver. Yes, the banged up, rusty, bent, mismatched C33 Laurel. Back in 2010 I was fortunate enough to see this guy drive Ebisu. I believe the car used to be super pristine on 15″ wheels and a full body kit. Nowadays it’s a little different. The car is driven by a Tomei crate SR motor and doesn’t skip a beat! We spent our 1 day at Spring Matsuri walking around the Minami course watching drivers like this and Daigo-San going mental. Can’t wait to get back! x

As I continue to dig up photos from the Autumn Matsuri, I came across this set of images of the Kansai boys when they entered Ebisu. Yes, more photos of John’s PS13, but I can’t get enough. This is one of my favourite photos of the car. Just chilling in the touge car park, overlooking the East Course surrounded by a dozen missiles.

Here, Shane’s quad-bike which he uses to scoot around the mountain to not only save petrol in the car but to have some fun! Oh and John’s car sneaking in the background. Damn Hoshino’s rock!

Erin from JDM Garage arrived in this C33 Laurel. Within an hour of there arrival I was in the car having a blast on the Driftland course, only to find a boost leak, which was an easy fix! The car has had an engine swap from an RB20 to an SR.

Drift Kansai, gathered.
