安芸のもみじまんじゅう

にしき堂か藤い屋か。もみじまんじゅう、略してもみまんは

広島では公然と使用されている言葉ではあるが、某新聞の調べでは

もみじまんじゅうは日本一のまんじゅうなのである。

だから犬もあるけば棒に当たるように、ラシーンで広島を走れば

もみじまんじゅうの看板に出くわす訳だ。

Tank Moto is Australias newest custom motorcycle magazine, my KTM was featured in the very first issue and tonight we celebrate at Gasolina in Melbourne, come down if your free.

I have just bought a KTM 450 EXC driveline so look out for a new build on the horizon.

With most things finished off I have been working on something very special, my friend Matt is a director and producer in film and has been spending a lot of time in my garage over the last few weeks, we are going to bring you something very special to give the finished product a real voice.

In Part 01 of our trek down Shio no Michi, Japan’s famed Salt Road, we stumbled upon a collection of kei jidosha, the ruins of Iiyama Castle, and traced the path of salt dealers from the era of shogun and … Continue reading →

And to your left you’ll see a Supra, and then a Supra, and then…

From the 80′s, 90′s, and today..ohhh yeah!

In Part 02 of our Shokuji J-Tin coverage we turn our attention to some of the excellent builds that hail from the hills of NorCal. For purists this may be a painful segment, but not every nostalgic can be a … Continue reading →

If your in Australia and looking for a new drift chassis then I am selling Project 4 stud…. Why? I have too much going on right now and this is just adding to the workload, I would rather see someone else get some satisfaction and enjoyment out of building a racecar than me finishing it and then hardly having the time to use it.

The details

Unregistered but not on register as damaged or defected White shell – minor dents – shaved bootlid Perfect glass all round Stock rear IRS (non hicas) with R200 diff and 5 bolt axles Brand new modified K frame with forward mounted steering rack Brand new 16mm tie rods and ends Modified knuckles S15 front brakes with redrilled rotors Brand new 25mm spacers all round AVS rims with near new Federal EVO tyres Clear brick headlights Full interior with uncracked dash Sued wheel and boss Digital climate control Bride Zeta 2 Drivers seat and rail (stock included) Untouched body loom Full engine loom no ECU Brand new Greddy Coilovers with EDFC in cabin adjustment

This is the perfect base for a budget drift car build, it has everything you need to start drifting in.

I really wanted to keep this and build it into a street driven track car, unfortunately im running out of time and room and don’t want to see this sit outside and go to waste, its an incredibly clean and neat low Km chassis and only needs an engine, box and tail shaft to drive.

All the steering has had a huge amount of fabrication time put into it to be a competitive drift car with huge lock, you wont need to do a thing to the front end. The rear end only needs a minor amount of money to be put into the vital suspension arms to correct the camber and toe.

A lot of money, time and knowledge has been put into this car and only the easy mechanical side of the build is left to do.

I know I will regret selling it in the future because S chassis this clean are hard to come by.

Sideskirts pictured are not included in sale.

Somewhere amongst the sea of turbo nissan’s, I was silly enough to take the Starlet to a full track drift day at Hampton downs.  Manji time: Credit john on the camera. Ps: If you haven’t seen my updates elsewhere, you … Continue reading →

Last year a fantastic new show called the Bayline Gathering emerged on the NorCal scene. It brought out some of the best cars the region had to offer and filled a void that desperately needed filling. Last month, the organizers were … Continue reading →

I was out at Sports Land Yamanashi again last weekend. Here’s a couple of laps with circuit local Suguru Ishiai in his Cresta.

スポーツランド山梨に行って来ました！選考車は３９６ＭＯＴＯＲＩＮＧ石合さんです。

Just arrived and available!

Offered for $11,500 USD

A classic design very very rarely seen in the US, this model came with the 1.8L DOHC engine. This example is in very original condition. It could use some light restoration work to turn into a head turning driver, or could be fully restored for a collection. We’re excited about these cars because they are affordable classics. Fantastic styling, DOHC engine, and exceptionally rare to see on the road here in the States. One of the best values going in classic Japanese cars and the values will certainly climb as more people become aware of them (and Japanese collectible cars as a whole). They have a very strong, devout following in Japan.

More pictures and full inspection report coming soon.

Yesterday was my first time visiting Sports Land Yamanashi SLY for a Drift Ensemble soukoukai. Without question the coolest track I’ve seen in Japan. Here is a shot of Alexi in his Mark II x

Seeing various AE86s, Celicas Cressidas at Toyotafest got our brain gears turning. We’ve asked you before about the coolest vintage barrel because Japanese racing alloys are an indelible part of the JNC culture. But not everyone can afford or find a … Continue reading →
