first of all a very belated happy new year to each and every single one of you. we didn’t have much of a break during the end of 2024 into 2025 period due to preparing for a lifelong dream – having a car entered at Tokyo Auto Salon.

long story short boss man naoki spoke to me mid last year with a simple question of ‘do you want to participate in the 2025 tokyo auto salon’ next to my car, in which without much thought swiftly responded ‘yes’. before we knew it the end of the year was near, the HKS 2.1L managed to get hot which completely ruined the head, block and most of the pistons. following this the car went to SKY MOTORS in osaka to takuzo-san for a full pull-down and rebuild. new head, block, HKS 87mm pistons, rods, brand new oil & water pump, head gasket and some head work to get it back, running and not only ready for auto salon but for the 2025 season. the new engine made a wild 531HP at 1.65 bar.

i have been shooting this event for many years, dating back a few decades ago to Australian auto salon’s and even back to working with auto salon magazine when i was 16 years young or so. honestly this has been one of those self-manifestation goals i’ve had for a very long time. the fact that very minimal foreigners have had cars and or companies entered into this event has made me beyond hungry to make this a reality.

over the course of 3 days we had a rediculous amount of people pull through to say hello, express their gratitude and positivity with what we’ve been doing and creating for the last 15 years in which we’re forever thankful – so thank you everyone. as usual we’ve put together a video & very small photo gallery from the event (below). 3 days wild days of the event plus months of preperation.

next up is osaka auto messe 2025 which is held in osaka next week, february 7th, 8th & 9th. if you’re in japan during this time be sure to make it as it’s osaka’s largest event in the annual year.

ready for a giant year, thank you always. caseyyy x

a few weeks since the last upload. car life episode 9 – this is a wild one. updates on multiple cars including some NA content. full travel vlog & drifting footage from our trip up to gunma for the annual HARDCORE TOKYO gunsai mountain drifting event. thank you so much to jun-san & everyone at HARDCORE TOKYO for such a wild, safe & extremely well run day. looking forward to being back next may. as always, grab a beer & enjoyyy the weekend. loveee. caseyy x

D1 LIGHTS 2024 rounds 6 & 7 meihan sportsland c course

what a wild few weeks or even months leading up to this event and competition. D1 LIGHTS is a series formerly known as D1 Street Legal one rank down from D1 Grand Prix (D1GP). last year i did 3 out of 4 rounds of the D1 Divisional series (one step down from LIGHTS) placing 3rd in the series. the previous year i also drove at a senkoukai (license day) at Autopolis Lakeside circuit coming 1st obtaining my D1 LIGHTS license. a few years later and here we are with the V2 reformed and properly built 3037 D1 spec S13 silvia.

rounds 6 & 7 (dual) for this year were held at home course meihan sportsland c course in which myself, jake from Australia, fujio-san & nakamura ryuu debuted in. the lead up to the event was multiple all-nighters and an insane amount of work not only in our shed but other friends such as Takuzo (SKY MOTORS), Naoki (N-STYLE) & Satoshi (PRO SHOP DIVERSION) for D1 regulations, painting & tuning before coming back to Nara to test & finish the car just in the nick of time to be ready and presentable for D1.

results for saturday weren’t anything to write about – not passing qualifying definitely hurt however the car was having very small issues with boosting where it should be which didn’t help from the morning. best run in round 6 was a 95.8 which put me around 25-30th qualifying position.

sunday was a much better and brighter day after changing front suspension setups back to what i was used to in the V1 3037 S13 and diff final change from 4.6 to 4.3 to help get extra legs after the flick for the longer extended meihan course. i ended up qualifying 6th with a 98.25 on my 2nd run putting me into the top 16 battles which felt amazing especially after saturday’s results. pushing through my top 16 battle with more surfacing car issues into the top 8 being knocked out by koga-san in his RPS13 180SX from kyushu. i was chasing initially and upon flicking behind him the car did a giant missfire and cut out causing the car to not flick at all anywhere near 100% making it seem like a very ‘weak chase’. next was my lead and i knew the position i was in so tried to lay down one of the best runs i’d done all weekend which felt amazing however obviously wasn’t enough to get through to the top 4. final results overall on sunday round 7 was 5th overall. a lot learnt, for sure.

i want to say a giant thank you to:

and each and every single one of you, especially those who purchased one of our D1 LIGHTS support packs, it helps tremendously. very excited to get straight back into practicing in the newly built S13 and get on the rails to go as hard as possible this year at Kansai All Stars in a little over a month. what a wild experience and to say i’ve got the bug for D1 would be an understatement. a little more testing and confidence in the car i will be looking forward to competing in more rounds in 2025.

enjoy a gallery & full video of the lead up to the event itself and everything in-between. love always. caseyy x

newly available to SHIRTSTUCKEDIN today are our first ever 330mm deep corn steering wheel & horn set. just shy of 11 months in drafting, sampling & production for both the products & packaging today is finally the day they will be released into the world.

1 variant – black leather with yellow SHIRTSTUCKEDIN logo on the front paired with the 3037 S13 checker design into the front of the wheel. the back of the wheel is the reflecting checker pattern with our motto ‘have fun along the way’ in a simple gray embroidery.

we have been testing these for months on end now and couldn’t be more happy how they’ve come out and how they look & feel inside a car both normal driving & circuit driving. made locally in Japan by ATC in which have been the peak supplier for some amazing steering wheel companies over the past few decades.

each packaged in SHIRTSTUCKEDIN boxes (steering wheels) and blister packaging for the horn buttons. available today at 9PM PST – 2PM AEST. first in best dressed. quality over everything, always. love x

a lot of updates as of late. since the last blog post there is another 5 videos (almost a weekly basis) from building the cars, driving and everything else in-between in which the response has been amazing. below is the latest video – building the D1 LIGHTS V2 3037 S13 plus a full drift day at meihan c course in the second half of the video. as always enjoy along with the small photo gallery of the car coming together. love x

2024 nara & mie prefecture qualifying day. a new video on the V2 2530 S13 (practice car) getting it ready for meihan sportsland c course. as always, grab a beer & enjoyyy the weekendd x

a wet and breezy day down on the ports of Osaka for this years one of two 1980s / ハチマルミーティング meeting. unfortunately a few days prior the weather took a turn for the worse forecasting a lot less cars than previous years especially those who usually travel from a distance. was once again great to get out and spend a few hours walking around at this years event. the next one will be held at the start of autumn, later in the year at fuji speedway in shizuoka prefecture in which i hope to make it in the GX61. enjoy this little gallery from the weekend x

a brand new insight to the brand – the latest videos to SHIRTSTUCKEDIN. big, new refreshing plans with all the current S13 fleet. 3037 (main) and 2530 (practice) cars. 3 episodes live from the last few weeks building new machines.

the old practice car will now become the new 3037 (main) car, alongside a 60,000km un-crashed and un-drifted chassis. below are 3 vlog style videos documenting what has gone into these cars thus far, excited to continue documenting, shooting and enjoying having the camera by my side again daily. it would mean the world to have your feedback & following on the videos, plenty more to come with exciting plans in the works. big love alwaysss. caseyy x

a few years ago i purchased an iconic PS13 from the late 90s into the early 2000s. built by CARBOY x TOMEI that specific car boasted quite a wild and rare driveline setup – a full TOMEI 2.2L stroked NA SR20. ‘retired’ quite a few decades ago perhaps the entire setup hadn’t driven or even started in a very long time. the 2.2L SR20DE & driveline was eventually swapped into another 2 tone S13 i’ve had in storage for quite a few years and after many months of it being worked on here and there between other cars, projects and general work it was time to change some dinosaur technology and get it on the dyno.

with so much on the go this little car has taken quite a long time however good things do and cars are only becoming more expensive and wasteful to rush in my personal opinion. i reached out to Satoshi-san from PRO SHOP DIVERSION south in hyogo prefecture to see how his schedule was looking to try fit in the PS13 to change the TOMEI REYTEC computer out to a V3.4 HKS FCON and re-mapping.

a basic rundown on the engine is as follows:

SR20DE 2.2L TOMEI stroker kit
TOMEI 87mm stroked pistons
TOMEI conrods
TOMEI crank
compression ratio 12:6
TOMEI 272mm camms 12.5 lift
re-enforced valve springs
TOMEI 4 throttle intake setup
TOMEI metal headgasket
TOMEI one off exhaust manifold designed and made specifically for this engine setup

safe to say the day went excellent with 0 dramas whatsoever. after a few decades this very special setup is idling, running and revving to the moon once again. making 214.35HP at the wheels quite safely (as it’s a street driven car) handled by the master at PRO SHOP DIVERSION – Satoshi-san. enjoy the little gallery below + a little ASMR youtube vide from the day with plenty of NA SR20 noises. love alwaysss. caseyyy x
