Nostalgic Wednesdays: RE-Amemiya FC3S Rx7

By
March 16, 2011

FC3s? nuff said. BUT wait, have we forgotten about the RE Amemiya FC3s? Also known as the RE SuperG, this is definitely a ricer’s paradise. The Rx7 Savanna (FC Chasis) is equipped with a modified engine specially tuned by RE Amemiya, a bodykit including recessed headlamps, diffusers, and of course  monster wing! (thus the name SuperG?). All this being a “total tune”. The RE Amemiya aero is hard to come by and considered rare in the FC3S community. If I’m not mistaken, the RE SuperG,  which contains all pioneered technology is also applied to the RE Amemiya race cars competing in the Japanese GT Championship. I totally love GT inspired street cars and this would definitely be in my top list.  Enjoy!

But wait…

By
March 14, 2011

If you have been keeping up with drifitng in Texas you are now well aware that Aaron Losey of Fabricated Motorsports has started a 2011 Lonestar Texas drift series. Round 1 took place at Nonstop Tuning’s anniversary car show event. MaydayGarage was present, but unfortunately we had to skip out early….so you wont be finding any pictures here, however, Henry Swasey from Team Silhouette caught some great coverage. Long story short, Silhouette underdog Robert Lee took the win of Round 1 in his 113 hp AE86 by being tapped by last year XDC series winner Chelsea DeNofa. The first round of the series had a great turnout and is looking very promising! Check the video from Henry Swasey!

By
January 17, 2011

In case you haven’t heard yet, Aaron Losey the organizer of 98% of drift events in Texas will be hosting a Texas drift series this year in 2011. The introduction to this series was a “dial-in” day held at local tuner shop Powerfab that was composed of horsepower ratings, weight and steering angle for every car. Although all cars competing in the series were not present at the event, you get a general idea of the competitors in the series. Check out the video for the details, definitely a great intro to the 2011 Texas drift series.

Nostalgic Wednesdays: Drifting in the early 90s

By
January 5, 2011

During the week-long Holiday celebrations, I had a chance to reminisce with my siblings and cousins of the silly things we used to do when we were young. The unforgettable moments that we laugh at till today. That gave me the idea for today’s  Nostalgic Wednesday.

Here are some videos I found of the drifting scene in Japan early 90s. Back then, as we set our time to when there was less competition, less hype, it was all about the hobby, it was all about just going out and having fun with friends who share a common interest.

I love how the background music perfectly exemplifies  the mood of each video.

Please excuse the video quality, they have been transfered from a VHS copy. (lol)

This shows that not all Japanese drivers can drift as soon as they get their license. Most of the well known drifters started somewhere, they spun a lot of times before mastering the corners. A perfect example of practice makes perfect. And as we reach our prime, we look back on to those days and realize how far we’ve gone, the feeling of achievement.
