Nothing in the world compares to sunrise drifting on the streets of Kanto. Can’t wait to get back x

Fixing the car at the local こんびに to make it back out just before the sunrise. Street life x

For the few times I’ve visited Mobara Twin Circuit in Chiba, I’ve generally come across interesting colours. My first time, in 2010 being the final round of MSC was of course a field bursting with an infinite amount of vibrant cars. From my last time at a local soukoukai track day was pretty much the same. These, local JZX drivers are always out in force, practicing and throwing down incredibly close runs. Here they are venturing up the back section of the circuit in preparation for another battle. x

The worst possible thing about travelling to Japan or any overseas destination for that matter is having to depart and head home. It has been 9.4 weeks since I left from my journey that went on for around 2 months. When I look back on that, it is pretty crazy the lengths I went to, to be able to afford and do what I actually wanted to. Travelling to Japan a few times before I can safely say my last trip was the best experience yet. I could almost say I was there for just the right amount of time to start realising how things actually flow. There is so much to learn and see apart from that mind-blowingly awesome car culture that lies beneath. Writing this and searching through my archives on a daily basis to update the blog for all of you gives me more and more motivation to save up and plan another spectacular trip early next year. The constant days of reading through the most recent issue of Doriten and planning and scheduling the weeks. The variety of events, meets and shows was just perfect.

There are still a stupid amount of photos to show you all so sit tight and keep refreshing for daily updates. Also I hope you’re looking forward to the Shirtstuckedin 2013 Automotive Calendar as much as I am. Casey x

Sessions JZX90 at 大黒 PA x

I’ve seen this car a bunch of times on the internet, more specifically Nori Yaro. It was awesome to see this elder fellow sliding around in his olden 4 door Chaser. As a matter in fact he has quite an obsession with old Toyota’s. Will be showing a lot more of this fellows rides in posts to come, for now enjoy this one of him hitting the back section of Nikko! x

This Mark II was one of my favourite cars in Kanto x

Over the past year I have been following this particular fellow and his JZX 100 build on Minkara. To see it at Hellaflush Kansai was just another heart stopping moment in my books. x
