More of my pics from Japan-Bosozoku/old school/weird van meet at Daikoku, Yokohama

[chokudoriS13]

This was a meet at Daikoku in Yokohama a couple of days after January 1st. To celebrate the new year, bosozoku (motorcycle hooligans) cruise into Kamakura on motorcycles via the Shonan (like our PCH) in droves. Their other favorite mode of transport is an unregistered Mark II or Cresta (our Cressida) with its roof chopped off... The weekend after January 1st, they gather at Daikoku (a well-known spot for meets) for a huge meet at a rest stop... This is where I snapped these pics. The cars ranged from bozo'd out old school Laurels/Crestas/Skylines to crazy vans and flashing trucks...

The meet went on until 4am, when the police (all the red lights on the left) decided to shut it down, using Skyline GT-R police cars :eek:

Part 2 coming soon... Gotta save that bandwidth

[Zemus]

Looking freaking AWESOME, loving the deep dish overfender ness. Also love how lots of them dont have SS, but they have the fender flares.. so nice.. And why cant they share the longchamps...

[rrobe99999]

Wow, great post. Looking forward to part 2. Those vans are incredible. What's with the cars that have the hoses and radiator sticking out front? Are those oil coolers? I can't understand why that would be a cool upgrade to show off like that. I like the scooters too. I think those were the only clean looking vehicles out there. I remember the "Who" movie, Quadraphenia, where the kids in England modified their scooters by having about 20 rear view mirrors all over the place. Its amazing how tacky, ugly mods can become popular.

[NervGS]

Nanja kore?

http://www.youatemybreakfast.com/images/japan/bosozoku/DSC00128.JPG

The van with the picture of the woman in the back, I used to see that thing drive around in my neighborhood every now and then when I lived in Japan, it was weird.

-glenn

[Steeles]

HOTNESS!!! i love all the exposed oilcoolers thats great. and the Star exhaust pipes are crucial

[Johny5]

longchamp heaven :love:

[sr20det240pa]

hahaha wow so much diff then US

[nismo skyline]

damn those are pretty crazy. i wonder if it will catch on in the US

[Brian]

a star exhaust...thats new to me.

[BustedS13]

what.... the FUCK is wrong with the japanese?! what the fuck is a "bozo'd" car? a car modded with the intent of making it look like ass? i don't get this shit.... and wtf kind of trend is slapping an oil cooler on your front bumper?

anyway... that's just nuts. wish i could go see this retardedness in person.

[Pudula]

the dumped scooters are so tight

[Salty_X]

AWESOME PICS CHOKU!!!

http://www.youatemybreakfast.com/images/japan/bosozoku/DSC00115.JPG
I'm totally doing this to my car. :coold:

http://www.youatemybreakfast.com/images/japan/bosozoku/DSC00123.JPG
http://www.youatemybreakfast.com/images/japan/bosozoku/DSC00124.JPG
This (folding up the edges of the rear plate) is going to be big soon, I can feel it.
I better go out and do it now before everyone else does! :)

[BustedS13]

hmm, in those last two pics, three pictured cars have what look like tow hooks attached w/ canvas straps...

ok, so to make my car "JDM TYT3" in 2004, i need to...
-mount an oil cooler on my front bumper
-fold up the bottom edge of my rear bumper for that "fast while standing still" look
-get some bondage gear and hang it from under my rear bumper
-take my DTM exhaust tips to the extreme by JB Weld-ing 5 foot extensions to them, maybe ending with a Hello Kitty shaped tip?

bling!

Yea I have to agree with him here. I don't dig that shit at all. :mepoke: WTF? :confused:

Holy shit their onto me! Don't bite my plan for ultimate show car domination! :hahano:

Actually oil coolers on the bumper stem from the no grill look, and the exhaust tip thing has been a big trend for atleast the last 5 years.

American Rice Philosophy - Wanting to look or be a certain way(fast, low, rich, or the new recent trend of looking like you have skill behind the wheel).

Japanese "rice" Philosophy - Taking something you like and doing it 500% all over your car. These guys have balls as far as 'art' is concerned.

[russian]

it looks gross. many of them do. id rather sport clear lights. :bite: horrible

[G_Fish240]

damn I had no idea Cressida could look hot, my mom drove one when we lived on the mainland

[Chernobyl]

learn to love this... im sure bosozuku styles will start showing up at HIN and crap soon enough....

[Toahk]

I dig it, those guys are crazy.

[DoriftoSlut]

Maeda, is that like my car's rice? 500% This weekend i say we work on making it 700%...

[morpheus8486]

Pure excess. I think that's what makes it so fun to look at. Especially those vans, good lord.

Those are not tow-hooks.

They are handles from trains... Little rings that hang off the railings so that everyone has a spot to grab.

Note the rings:

[boro240]

i HATE the round ones. they bend your hand and it gets uncomfortable. triangles>circles anyday.

[sticky240]

wow, just wow at those exhausts. :loco:

I hope that trend doesn't catch on






**goes out to garage and starts bending pipes** :fruit:

[jonnnny23]

yeah, i used to always see vans like the orange and purple ones, but i never seen the oil cooler until now.

[smellslikecurry]

Holy pooper scooper, j/k. Nice pics.

It's like somebody smashed all my old LEGO's together with my Hotwheels. LOL. Interesting stuff!

[SilviaNinja240]

GREAT PICS! I was just doing a paper about all the different kinds of -zoku in Japan, I really could use these pics depicting what the scene is like in Japan. Keep em coming :)

[No Motiv]

i love how S13 is the rice of japan

[hurleyboi514]

i love the external oilcoolers, w00t! :)

[NervGS]

It's called culture, I dunno if you lack any or think the US is the only country in the world that has some.

This has been going on for decades, you should see the these guys in droves riding on their motorcycles, its pretty crazy.

-glenn

[zenkiDori]

yeah, we have plenty off ass looking cars here too, so what's wrong with the americans? ever been too a HIN? yeah.

[Maeda]

i wonder how much pussy one gets in those pimp ass vans

They make folding couch beds for the backs in zebra, leopard, and satin, if thats any help.

When I drove a previa... :bigok:

[Ranger_Man]

AHAHAHAHA i was wondering if i was the only one to think that! all i could think was that optimus prime got bought by some 17 year old kid... :faint:

[zenkiDori]

those things are even more nuts in motion. option2 had a spot on em, nuts.

[Dutchmalmiss]

http://www.youatemybreakfast.com/images/japan/bosozoku2/DSC00085.JPG

altezza tail light conversions are so JDM now :eek2: lol but seriously man nice pictures of some odd cars

those look A LOT like the integra altezza tails.

[Dutchmalmiss]

come to think of it, the whole rear looks like an integra to me now!

[s0ldats]

they've always looked like DA's

[Maynard Ferguson]

Those sedans are all histric cars in 60' to 80". Do not misunderstand !
Vans are still existing.
http://diecock.com is cool enough !

[Zemus]

They look integra lights, cuz thats what they are..

Hah when is the second wave of pics comming?

[Red]

LMAO... Most of those look so lame...

But thanks for the pic's its fun to see some weard shit.

[chokudoriS13]

Hah when is the second wave of pics comming?


Soon... I used 50 Gb of bandwidth for this post (on 3 diff. forums), so I need about a week to recharge :D.

[mellojoe]

I'm definately NOT into that style. Hell, I can't get into the "rice" over here... let alone MOST EXTREME RICE CHALLENGE of that stuff.

However, they are definately creative. I'll give them that. Look at that star shaped exaust pipe. And train-car handles? Definately unique. Look at that CRAZY negative camber, too. YIKES!!

I pray that stuff does not catch on on this side of the ocean. But you know, some ricer is going to put 4' extensions on his tailpipes and call it JDM-MAD_TYTE YO!!!

However, the curled license plates look pretty good. I'm sure if done right, you can mold the license plate into the theme of the car... a little curl to accent the shape of the car. But, once again, I'm thinking of a much more subtle look than what they are displaying...

[irax]

this is why i love japan, and btw my car allways had the rear lisence plate slightly bent upwards.. just not as hardcore as those guys..

[boro240]

i don't care what you all say, those semi's are PIMP! Transform and roll out (kheek koo kah keeh kik)
LOL, i always thought the transformers made a noise you cant replicate.

[zenkiDori]

i once put a 3ft. pipe on my friends riding lawmower exhaust. guess it was JDM, haha.

[kazuo]

Nanja kore?

hah, I died of laughter when I Saw that one.. thats hamasaki ayumi, uber-annoying japanese pop singer.

She's like Britney Spears except not slutty and worse music.

Be afraid [ayumi's home page] (http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ayu/)

And ya, those Cressy's are the SHIT

boso > rice

Don't hate, congratulate :D

I love the big fuckin trucks... they had a game about those on playstation, it was great... :)

I WANT DIECOCK STICKERS! DIECOCK SUGEIII NAAAAAAAAAAAAA

http://www.diecock.com/DIECOCK-GOODS.htm

I'mma email those fuggers and see if they'll mail me some...

Awesome pics chokudori, keep 'em coming :D

[Zemus]

LOL, i always thought the transformers made a noise you cant replicate.

Pff transformers dident go kerp kerp kerp, they went bur burp brub

Cool & neat !

[AutoDestruct]

Why did you just try and get me to look at a baby penis? Your from this DIecock jaunt aren't you. It looks a hell of a lot like relabeled Kicker crap to me. Notice the the diecock D's similiarity to the Kicker K. "Cool & Neat" that's some funny shint mang. Anybody else see what I'm sayin. Just a hunch.
Right Fergie? or would you rather I call you Maynard DieCock? :)

[Fastback180]

ahhh yes....me and my buddy were thinking about making up a Bosozoku car for New Years.
and we were talking about the train handles when it came to us to use "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" tags.

[AlligatorBling]

Very interesting pics to say the least lol, the trends are pretty funny. Makes you wonder whats next...

[justinhustle]

Just wait. I bet my pink slip it catches on in the states. So cool to have the exposed hose look on the front of the car. :loco:

[Fastback180]

and wtf kind of trend is slapping an oil cooler on your front bumper?


a trend since the 70's and early 80's
:ughd:

[AlligatorBling]

Most trends have to originate from something legit... im curious to know the story of the oil cooler. any ideas?

[FinSX]

for those who liked the wierd vans, check out these Toyotas which are for sale in Japan:

http://www.kaizousha.com/details.php?carid=544
http://www.kaizousha.com/details.php?carid=1509
