Last Sunday, since we were in the area for the Minkara meeting anyway, we decided to stop by the Stance Nation meet at Fuji Speedway. Park and Matt were there as well so it was […]

Close Up: R Ma g ic まる号 vs. 夢工房 NISMO 180SX
The R Magic FD3S, and the Dream Works RPS13, both incredible in their own right, however, there is really no comparing the two. Different manufacturer, different chassis, engine, power output, one runs a good […]
Encounter: 本庄サーキット タイヤ館 – コクピット シルビア
This weekend Sekinei took to the circuit to participate in the Bridgestone sponsored タイヤ館 event in Honjo. Among the runners at the track, this Silvia stood out the most with it’s attack styling and aero. […]
Close-Up: Moty’s ☆ T-One’s RX-7
Without a doubt, there were some star performers present at 2013’s final Battle Evome, but among them one shined (literally) the brightest. The Moty’s/t-one’s FD3S was, for me, one of the coolest cars to see […]
Event: Battle Evome – Tsukuba Final Showdown v.3
We pick up on circuit late morning in Tsukuba, where, lap by lap, the times are decreasing ever so slightly. By this time, many of the drivers have recorded personal bests or were well on […]
Event: Battle Evome – Tsukuba Final Showdown v.2
As the morning sun rose over Tsukuba, and the clock closed in on 9am, the lighthearted paddock conversations gave way to a sound that I’m not even clever enough to describe in words. The first […]
Event: Battle Evome – Tsukuba Final Showdown v.1
Battle Evome; the name itself invokes a sense of elitism and power. The event, held at Tsukuba Circuit just 4 times a year, attracts the fastest of the street and privateer time attack cars across […]
Close-Up: NA1 – Sunset At Streets
Over the past weekend a couple of friends and I attended an open event at Streets. Unfortunately, I wasn’t driving, but I still like to come along because you really never know what you’ll find […]
Event: Hot Version Live Shooting v.1 – The Tsukuba Pits
.
JDM Clips recently shot these last weekend during the live filming of Hot Version’s N2 and Advan Amateur Race at Tsukuba Circuit. The Hot Version N2 AE86 event takes place every year, and has been going on for quite some time now. This year, the Advan sponsored Fastest Amateur Tournament was combined on the same date and made for one hell of an event. Many of the cars here are the same popular builds we see plastered on the pages of Option and Option2, as well as blogs around the globe. The most popular tuners attend these ‘grassroots’ events to show off what they can do on the track. Check out what Tsukuba has to offer past the break – like more of this RE built ドラえもん FD.
RC Lounge: The R32’s Test Drive
.
With a fully charged battery and a tastefully decorated G-Works body, it was time to finally take my R32 for a test drive. I went downstairs with my Nikon and let it rip. I gotta say – this thing is great fun. It’s fast and my new SkyFly transmitter is responsive, but I think I’ll spring for the GT Tuned motor soon. We could always use a little more speed. With the help of my co-driver, Anny, I snapped a few pics. Check um’ out past the break.
