Let's start with those shiny custom wheel covers. I marveled at how he still managed to source for such retro-looking wheel covers, and that's when he revealed to me that they were actually frying woks! How ingenious and utterly creative!

Kei Class Classic | Daihatsu Hijet S100

A frying wok for wheel covers? You better believe it. This classic Daihatsu Hijet S100 kei van went through a 5-month restoration process and came out looking all clean and funky!

Just after that, something happened in the battle for the lead. Tsukakoshi in car No. 17 had been chasing Matsuda in No. 12 at a faster pace and was already on his tail by lap 45, where he made a braking mistake going into the hairpin turn and did a half-spin that sent his car colliding into No. 12. (Matsuda). This caused Matsuda to spin as well. Tsukakoshi (No. 17) recovered first and took the lead, but three laps later the decision was made to give him a drive-through penalty as the one responsible for the collision. On the same lap 47 where Tsukakoshi was given his penalty, the battle for third was heating up. Yamamoto in car No. 100 passed car No. 36 (Nakajima) in the Atwood Curve. When No. 17 (Tsukakoshi) returned to the pit lane for the drive-through penalty, it moved No. 100 (Yamamoto) up into second position. From this point on, Yamamoto in car No. 100 began to close the gap slowly on No. 12 (Matsuda), but the gap was too was too big for him to catch No. 12 before it took the chequered and the win.

IN Super GT 2011, Okayama

Consecutive victories for the GT-R, the CALSONIC IMPUL GT-R wins at Okayama!

The two-door soft-top roadster sits two, and was in production from May 1991 to February 1996. I have to say that it is not particularly handsome for a cabriolet, but if you do realise where Iâ€™m coming from, the Keis were meant to be cute and friendly. Four bright color variants are available in white, yellow, red and silver. The limited edition Version F and Version C comes in metallic green and blue, respectively. Mechanical upgrades like ABS and LSD were optional features on the Version Z.

I went online hoping to rediscover one of the fascinating Kei cars in the 90s. My search returned with a Marian Rivera on a two-wheeler arousing my fantasies of topless riding. Well, not really...

Best WRX In Singapore | Entry Seven (7)

IN Best WRX, WRX, Subaru, Singapore, Contest, Modified

Entry no. 7 may be stock-looking, but this red and gold WRX is still worth a good look.

For its first ever entrant into the highly competitive mid-size segment, Suzuki has done a good job with the Kizashi, though it may not look as good as the original concept car. With its continental styling cues, amenities of sorts in relative abundance and a sporty driving experience, the Kizashi offers car buyers an alternative that is never off their tangent.

Never Off Tangent | Suzuki Kizashi

IN Suzuki, Kizashi, 2.4 VVT

The all-new Suzuki Kizashi holds the distinction of being the first ever mid-sized sedan manufactured by Suzuki.

For the No. 17 KEIHIN HSV-010, its first podium finish of the season was also its first victory. For the team and for Koudai Tsukakoshi, this was their first SUPER GT victory. Toshihiro Kaneishi has one victory in the All Star Race of 2004, but this is his first win in a series round. After having victory stolen out of their hands, the No. 18 Weider HSV-010 (Takashi Kogure/Loic Duval) team settled for a disappointing second. Finishing third was the No. 6 ENEOS SC430 (Daisuke Ito/Bjorn Wirdheim). Staring from eighth position on the grid, the first-stint driver, Wirdheim had managed to avoid the early confusion and move up through the pack. Over the second half of the race, his teammate Ito had been able to hold pace and claim this podium finish. With this finish, Ito and Wirdheim remains top in the rankings.
