It seems like I can never fully finish posting coverage of a show before it’s considered old news. I guess with Motion going on today, I’d better hurry up and post the last installment of my Nisei coverage. So let’s get started with this famous ATS built hatchback.
.
The mag blue Volks go with the greyish-blue exterior quite well.
.
.
An equally spectacular hatchback build, with a little bit different choice in engine setup.
.
.
This is probably my favorite EK build to date.
.
.
Despite the amount of problems that come with it, the C.O.P. setup seems to be catching on rather quickly.
.
.
One more shot.
.
.
Another show favorite from DPK.
.
.
I’ve always liked this CRX; it looks so purpose built.
.
.
.
Another ATS favorite. There is always a crowd around this car wherever it goes – I was lucky I got there fairly early to avoid the mob.
.
.
.
Sheepy’s S2K. This one’s going down in the history books for sure.
.
.
From what I understand, this bay/car wasn’t 100% complete. I think even if it is still a work in progress, it’s probably cleaner than most stuff you see.
.
.
.
Track ready sedan.
.
.
Best of Show winning HKS themed Altezza.
.
.
Here’s something you don’t see too often outside of Japan. Normally I’m not huge fan of US built RX-8’s, but this one was pretty clean.
.
.
New-School!
.
.
The Fontana Nissan GTR – clever number…
.
.
It’s JDM Yo! x Air Runner DJ booth. Do you recognize the F-swapped Toyota?
.
.
Although I’m not a huge fan of the wheel choice and size, this has to be one of the nicest Datsun builds stateside.
.
.
Meh, why not? Living in LA I see these more than I probably should…
.
.
The Toyota heavy side. This gravity hampered Prius started the line-up.
.
.
Gymkhana built Nissan.
.
.
One last look at the grounds before I split to go get some food.
.
.
There was evidence of show-goer’s all around Little Tokyo and the plaza area.
.
.
I watched this guy from across the street for a good 5 minutes. I drifted off for a second and actually thought I was in Japan. The Japanese Red Cross Society actually has a mascot that looks fairly similar (actually, no where near similar but that’s what I was reminded of when I saw it). I came across her one day while in Yokohama, I think her name is Kenketsu-chan. I’ll try to find a picture. I know you’re all just dying to see it…

I got a hold of myself though and decided I was overdue for some calories. I was so hungry I forgot to snap a ‘before’ shot. Oh well, hope you enjoyed the coverage.
