Siomz asked in the comments if I had a full pic of the Seeker EK9, this is the only one I have, I assume it’s the car with the V2 wing on it, but I haven’t seen any pix of it with the V2. There’s also a red EK on their site but the pic is so small I can’t tell if it has a V2 on it or not http://www.seeker.co.jp
Have I seen this bumper before? Something about it seems kind of familiar but I can’t for the life of me remember who makes it. Not what the typical american expects to see in a photo of a CTR at a track day in Japan.
Part of racing is taking the car right to the edge and then trying to go just a little bit beyond that edge, sometimes the results are glory, sometimes the results are some bent sheet metal. Westhill always pushes 110% . This is the second car I’ve heard of being wrecked with a Melissa sticker on it, I hope they’re not bad luck! Yoshitomo and crew will be coming back stronger than ever!
Another one of those trends my inner ricer thinks is fun, but that I wouldn’t do to my own car. What’s funny is your average tuner in the states would cry rice if they saw this, but this is as JDM as it gets. At some point somebody needs to do a good in depth study of how and why everything considered rice these days like body kits, wings, neons, etc all have their roots firmly in Japan, yet the hard line JDM crowd frowns so sternly upon these things. And don’t get me started on the USDM movement in Japan where they immitate us immitating them (see USDM Jam), there’s probably a cultural studies doctoral thesis in there somewhere.
I’ve had fish tanks since I was a tiny little kid, just always had a thing for keeping fish. For a while I was breeding a few different cichlid species and bettas for extra money on the side but these days I just keep a couple of large display tanks. So you can understand why I love this valve cover so much, it’s just so great and surprisingly pretty accurate.
The rest of the car is just as beautifully tropical, clean white with sunny yellow Volk TE37s along with a JUN wing you don’t see very often.
Another great shoot from TWOLITRE Media
I love this last shot, it really gives you a feel for the J’s wing that you don’t normally get from pictures
Today didn’t exactly go as planned, I threw my back out hardcore, I got through work but I can only stand and walk at about a 60 degree angle and I’m listing hard to starboard. Luckily I got in with a doctor after work who wasn’t stingy with the pain meds. The ironic part of the whole ordeal was I missed tonight’s episode of House because I was waiting on my vicodin. (if you don’t watch the show House is a doctor who’s hooked on vicodin) Anyway, while I get my mellow on you guys can get your yellow on, and a big thanks to Nick for placing a sticker order today! Wassup AZHT.com!
I’m glad Nick mentioned AZHT, I hadn’t checked it out before and it looks like a great site…..for me to steal pix from muah ha ha ha!
This first EG is a lesson in just how effective clean paint, proper stance, and nice wheels can be. Cars that stand out without screaming “look at me” rock, they make perfection look so easy.
Can anybody ID these wheels? I know I’ve seen them before but it was a looong time ago.
Looks like some money was spent on this Sol, but the GT wing just isn’t for me. As always though, props for doing something different.
CTR replica on timeless TE37s, doesn’t get much more classic than that.
Damn I am really falling for Meisters on EKs these days
