funay j00 brought this up....i just finished reading the race report and when i came back here to post it- j00 bEEt me to it

yshi - who thinks they should hire him to do the translation for the english side - juju

 

sweet! i wish they had that kind of coverage on speed channel, err, Nascar channel

 

That CTR looks funny even with a c00l paint job

 

I love race cars...but all the cool graphics/paintjob/lowering still can't help that civic

 

i'd take that ctr in a second.

 

Does anyone know if Hattori-san still drives for Sp00n?

no, he drives for 5Zigen now

 

Naoki Hattori now drives Forumula Nippon (I think that's wut it's called) for 5Zigen.

 

Hattori did one race for Spoon in SuperTaikyu, that was the last race of last season.

Hattori drives for 5Zigen in both Formula Nippon and SuperTaikyu, in ST, he drives the 5Zigen DC5R in Group N+

 

But yoshi you have to figure out your spelling first.

 

speaking of the new civics...i have yet to try out that new shifter location...anyone try it yet...pros/cons???

 

...so does the fat mouse, i mean dc5

 

The reason why I asked is because in "The Battle at 10,000 RPM" segment, while Hattori is driving the Sp00n S2000, he remarks that driving the car in this battle reminded him of driving in the N1 series. I figured he drove for Sp00n

Hattori reminds me of a Japanese version of Shaggy from Sc00by D00! On the Hot Virgin vdos he and Drift King are fuggin' hilarious!

 

Nice

That new Civic hatch looks badass!

 

JDM Shaggy...lol!

 

Damn!!!!

 

i would love to rip trough that track...

 

i can get work emotion cr's for about $300 each for 16's and basically any work wheels...

What are the wheel widths for the 17 in. Work Emotions? I might be interested!

 

I don't like the huge straight away it has. Add a few more turns where the straight is and it would be more fun.

 

Hmm...they took a CW car and painted it yellow and blue. Wouldn't it been easier just to paint a PY ITR half blue?

Spoon

 

PY Yellow and the Spoon Yellow are not the same thing...
