Ebisu fall matsuri festival just finished up last weekend. Have reels of footage to sort through.
Also be sure to follow Dino’s Speedhunters review. Post one can be seen here - http://speedhunters.com/archive/2009/11/15/event-gt-gt-autumn-drift-matsuri-p1.aspx
For now a couple photos. More to follow.
Fuckin A. No matter where ya go, shitty 240 guys are all the same HAHA
Looking forward to the video.
holy shit that engine bay is retarded…reminds of the miata at bings meet
HAHA OMG that motor is such a hack!
was that car on junkyard wars?
I love everything about that engine bay.
Welding on the reducer on the charge line, tin foil shit on the oil line, how the coolant reservoir is placed and attached, possible clothes hanger wire on the ‘exhaust’, dirty glove… amazing.
Wow, MPD47 should do a spring-job like that :tup: haha
Not much worse than what those euro-fags do
at least these cars are driven hard
:word:
lol quite the machine
Haahahhaa glad you guys liked that one. This was my third matsuri festival and that car has been at every one. And god knows how many before this. Though this time around the rear of S chassis now has a kei truck bed welded onto it and in the front that chunk of iron for a front bumper with coil springs holding it up.
This is just one extreme example of how hard these guys get into it. Couple more shots of this missile. Expanding foam ftw.
On with actual drifting. Roughly 400 cars were spread out across the 7 or 8 courses during the weekend. Id say 25 % of the cars were driven by Gaijin (Foreigners).
Here’s a shot of Ben Mackerras in his S14 Missile.
Ben was over from Australia with a large group. Each of the guys, 7 or so in total all bought missiles to run for this event. At the end of the event plans were to half cut all the cars and load them into a 20ft. container for export to Australia. Decent idea all around. Partial return investment could at least be paid back.
Unknown Japanese drifter here with a clean looking S15 Spec R. Car had a nice kit on it.
Another S chassis coming off the apex turn into a hairpin turn.
This Japanese group had an autumn appeal in there camouflage color scheme. Both coming off the apex ready for the hairpin.
Back over on the Minami course (main D1 pro course), there was steady action. Caught this nasty BNR32 clipping way fast onto the main straight.
Few missiles lining up for another run on the famous minami main straight. Cars well punished.

so they even wear sock and sandal there!
1. socks and sandals
[](javascript:void(0))The gangster way for wearing sandels. The only time you will catch a gangster wearing sandels is if its summer time and they are wearing some crispy (white) socks with some adidas or jordan or nike sandels. Shit is too GANGSTA. Old people think its gay but anybody who knows fashion knows is G as a mothafucka.
During the summer I rock nottin but socks and sandals my nigga.

2. socks and sandals [](javascript:void(0))footwear combination worn only by the fashion-challenged.
If it’s hot enough for sandals, it’s too hot to wear socks. If it’s cold enough to wear socks, it’s too cold for sandals.

3. Socks and Sandals [](javascript:void(0))A Jewish cultural phenomenom in which the Jewish man or woman wears socks with their sandals.
Did you see that Jew?
Yeah, he was wearing socks and sandals

Excellent final round up for sure.
Now for more photo’s.
Not everything is rubbish at these events. On hand were several mint looking JZX100’s. Like this one in white pearl.
Particularly liked this S chassis with 180 front. Back drop suits it perfectly.
This C33 Laurel was spotted early Sunday morning. Fender extensions looked to be all composist. Wheels must have been 10-11J all around.
Only cute Japanese girl out over the weekend. Rest were lard asses. Here’s Mio in her R32 Type M. About to head over to the school course.

lol @ the lard asses.
And lol @ that girls goggles. I think MPD47 should get a pair and wear them when he drifts. :tup:
