Another trip to Daikoku Futo (18 pics, over 5mb of data - DIE 56k!!!)

Not much to 'splain.
Went to Daikoku, took pics, went home.

A 300C Hemi - baller status for out here - it's not cheap to own imported cars, cars with high displacement, and brand new cars in general. This guy probably spent in the neighborhood of 15-30k over MSRP to be able to rock that puppy out here.

The ONLY S13 Silvia I saw tonight. Probably had the cleanest paint of any car out there though.

Nice & clean 15. Poser-spec R33 wheels though.. 17x8 +30 knockoffs. I heard baby Jésus crying.

Forgot to add this pic up as well. Just a nice clean cookie monster.

[Irukandji]

nice picture, that vert 15 is hot.

hmm is it common to see lambos and domestics over there?

[OptionZero]

this might be stupid, but what is the daikoku futo? Fancy parking lot?

[exitspeed]

Nice pics. Man that must be awsome to see. Now I don't know about this stuff, but is this like a meet or something?

[A Spec Products]

junction produce VIP kicks ass

not sure if thats JP tho

if us americans weren't so cheap maybe our parking lots would look the same

[ThatGuy]

Awesome as always Meph! How often do these meets occur?

[mrmephistopheles]

Ben, more common than you'd think. We dont' see them often like every day, but once a week is a pretty good average.

Option - that is stupid. ;) It's a rest stop/truckstop on a little island beneath the onramp to the Rainbow bridge in Yokohama. It's also a popular hangout for car enthusiasts of all shapes, sizes and styles. (there was a Ford Probe there last night.... wtf?)

Exit - not so much a meet as a typical conflagration. Some of the groups of ppl & cars there were from clubs that decide to meet there at that time. Some were just loners showing up to show off/check out others cars. It's all pretty random.

Logan, yes it does, but I dont' know either.

Barry - every Friday and Saturday - supposedly Saturday is when the bozos show up and it can be dangerous, but one of these nights I plan on testing my luck.

Here's a link to chokudoris13's thread from way back when (that includes some saturday night pics)

Shit, people park their nice cars beneath Japan's freeways there...over here, what do we have underneath freeways? Homeless people, garbage dumpsters, my car, and...well...it's the parking lot they assign interns at my work place.

[Revolver Ocelot]

Sort of an off topic question. But since you live in japan are Evos and Gt-Rs a really common sight. Or are they some what of a rareity.

[go240]

sweet pics, sweet cars

[SimpleS14]

That filet-o-shrimp looks good right about now. Wish I had a S15 :/

Are those knock-off R33 rims on the S15 easy to obtain?...you know where I'm getting at with this right? ;)

In the country they are somewhat rare-ish, ya see em around every now and then. But in the city they are a lot more common however.

[mr_240sx]

damm!!!! is that thje meeting spot for modified cars??? some pretty awesome looking rides there!

[S13 Charlie]

Funny that you show a pic of a 300C with Giovanna wheels (not spinners by the way.) cause I was just talking with my buddy who works at Giovanna last night. He was telling me how Japan is one of their fastest-growing markets, and they ship wheels over there by the sea-container. Apparently they're just now getting into the SUV/Luxury-Sedan/bigass wheels trend over there... Must be all those Japanese 'ballers ! :rofl:

thanks for the sweet pictures though, I always like seeing Daikoku threads!

No, only when I see an angry black guy.
I was just thinking what could've been, you know?
Instead of the shocker cow udder paintjob, a decent gunmetal with some decent aero and nice wheels.
Oh well.

[Andrew Bohan]

Oh well. :kiss:

[2iv0 sx]

:drool: those are some really sick car! i wish i could be there.

Nice pictures btw!

[psychedelicbeats]

the side and rear of that ls looks like junction produce, but front end def not. can someone elaborate?

[NemeGuero]

God Damn. That FC makes me want one.

[psychedelicbeats]

i retract my post... that is definitely an aero kit from Insurance Group. I have never seen a that LS aero from insurance group though.

[chmercer]

MORE!!!!!!

[luckyrb13]

My older nieghbor who grew up in england told me those cars that you didnt know what they were are jaguars. But he might just be talkin out his ass.

[ThatGuy]

Could be Jaguars, or they could be Kit Cars. I'm pretty sure if they would've have Jaquar badging, Kevin would've known what they were. My vote goes to Kit Cars.

[NemeGuero]

Or Jaguar with shaved emblems.. hah

[Var]

The one on the left looks like a Jaguar SS-100 , the one on the right looks like a caterham but it's not. I can't make out the logo on the front bumper. Does it say MG on it?...

Actually, that is the stock aero on SRT-8 versions of 300C's.

On those old-looking cars, the one on the right looks like a kit car (the fenders look like fiberglass and the wheels just aren't right), the one on the left looks like a Jag SS100. Also, is that a Cadillac Deville behind the vert?

By the way, awesome pics as usual.

The wheels on the 'kit car' were SSR full reverse mesh. :D

No that was some sort of Toyota.. an Aristo or something.

I saw a right hand drive PTCruiser, camaro, and a Lancer Evo VIII in those pics among others. Interesing mix of cars. Much better mix than what we usually end up with over here at car meets.

I see it now. From that angle, though, they look like fairly typical wheels found on kit cars of that style.

how many times is that cosmo going to change colors? (if it's the same one) and damn that little ice-cream shop on the 1st floor sounds good right now. Last time I rolled thru there, they had like 20 po-po sitting at the bottom gate and all over with flashy sticks...and a ghey rash of para-para nerds, and a guy in a beat-ass leopard straight-piped revving every 20 seconds. go east for 10 minutes and stop by a certain turnout..thats the real car meet. :cool:

what defines this as not being put to teh "picture thread"? Is it cuz a moderator made this thread?? its not even 240 related...

Nice Pics by the way.
how many of those vannings do u see w' the 6ft wings and gigantic body kits. i saw a few while i was over there and i want to get one shipped here sooooooooo bad.

[mrmephistopheles]

what defines this as not being put to teh "picture thread"? Is it cuz a moderator made this thread?? its not even 240 related...

Yeah, it's because I'm a mod/admin.








That's the response you wanted to hear, right?
It's not in the pic thread because there are no pics of my car (ok, well not of my Nissan anyway), and it IS 240 related because it contains as many pics of 13s, 14s, and 15s as I could get that night.
That, and all the rest of the Daikoku threads are in Chat.
I understand where you're coming from, though - just have faith.. we are capable of policing ourselves.

auctually this is more along the lines of an event photoshoot, whitch could go in a regional section. But zilvia only has a USA and CANADA regiona section. so a japan regional meet with the sole purpose of NOT featuring the posters car would fall in chat or Off topic, but as it does feature a good many 240s, chat is just as good as off topic.
or he could have just put in in the premium scetion and locked out alot of the board from the pics, but chose to share instead. it's always nicer to share.

except STDs no one should share those.

the car Boso's arent bad..in Mainland and here the Boso's that would cause any potential problems are usually the Bikers.alot of them now adays steal and joyride scooters for anight then ditch them..alot of them put fence pipes on 1000 CC bikes and ride around holding up traffic and revving their motors criss crossing the street..the dangerous ones have sticks and have been known to hit cars..there was one night in Hirsoshima when I was trying to get around these f ucks and the kid tapped my car with a stick.I swerved and ran them into a ditch while denting my front fender at the same time...the cops dont care, and they would never call the cops so it is no big deal..finding a new fender and getting it painted was the only issue..I hate those fu ckers...I hear many a story of americans running bosos off the street and the cops truning the other way, or arresting the bosos anyway...

you can eat cheapo in Japan...even in Tokyo..I could i
live on 20 Bucks a day for food easy...less if I eat at convenient stores...beer is what gets you...some place will have deals like 100 or 200 yen drafts from like 5 to 8....but for the most part you are paying 500 Yen or more for a beer and that adds up...if you drink Sake it is much cheaper, just buy a bottle at your favorit pub or izakaya and it can last a couple nights..

sorry for hijackin the thread mr meph..hope i dont get pinked

I have never heard of any boso's stealing cars and crashing them into other peoples car's that would be foolish and grounds for a serious ass kicking...they do steal mopeds as i mentioned and ditch them..as far as mafia ties..who cares..most Yakuza are a joke anyway as far as violence and being scared of..they make all their money of loansharking, blackmail, prostitution, and shit like that..They arent as viloent as in the Movies..I have met quite a few. Some like foreigners..I was in Thailand on DEPLM and could tell these guys were Japanese so struck up a conversation..ended up drinking off them for free all night, I knew they were Yaks..a tell tale sign they are nowadays is Running suits like FUbu or whatever the latest Urban brand is..and there will be a guy (the lieutenant or bitch boy) that carries a notebook and lights everyone elses smokes, pays for everything and sh1t like that..cool guys...
once you get talking to them..and of course I love the Pimped out Gloria's alot of them drive, and they always have some fine looking skanks with them :wackit:

Amazing, I can't believe you took the time to do that :D... I mean, hell, you edited, copy pasted into Word, did Find-->Replace, pasted back into the post, clicked Post... That is way too much work for me, and it was my damn thread :D. Good work...

I didn't think of putting into Word to do that. I just copied your URL over the old URL.

Two questions...

#1 Where can over-fenders like the ones on this silvia be purchased or fabricated?

#2 What is the wheel size/tire combination of this car?

[downshift_sideways]

wow those overfenders are huge

I like that cigarettte for foreground treatment effect

[chmercer]

the fenders can be made with some sheet metal and some tin snips

the wheels are like 15x13 -50somthing type shit

I ate an EBI sandwich from McDonalds the other day. Gave me the serious shits. Never again.

Someone mentioned something about Japan being expensive. It isn't. Osaka and Tokyo are expensive. I live about an 1.5 hours from Osaka in a nice little city and I spend WAY less money than I did in the US. Food is cheap (Gusto, Joyful, etc.. friggin' blah blah) and rent is cheap. I only pay the equivelant of 500 a month for a nice ass apartment and I also rent a 3 bay garage with a lift for about 120 a month. The S15 Spec R I just bought cost me 800 bucks and a new head gasket plus about 600 for inspection:)

Someone else also mentioned something about whether or not you see alot of GTRs and EVOs here. I see them all the damn time. It's ridiculous. I would say everyday... hold on... I'm sitting at Mister Donut typing this and an S14, MR2, and R32 GTS-T just went by... what was I saying? Oh, yeah. Everyday I see at least 2 EVOs (neighbor has an EVO V), a couple WRXs, some MR2s, a number of Silvias and at least one GTR. The only thing I rarely see are Supras.

NIce pictures by the way meph...
