Hanging with Team Poison and friends
It’s a Thursday night in Japan, and my good friend @sotobo_oldschool tells me he’s arranged a small meet with some of his close friends: Team Poison, a famous drift team predominantly from Chiba, known for their matching purple cars. The team is led by @tsuba_s13, who drives a purple C33 powered by an SR20 (which…

Liberty Walk FD RX7 in front of their Harajuku store
If anyone knows me, they know how much I love Shibuya and Harajuku. Having been into Japanese streetwear for over 20 years, these areas have always been a central hub. However as I get older, it’s becoming harder to visit these areas due to the sheer number of people. When we were in Japan last…

Zhe’s “GCORP” S13 Silvia
I got a message from my friend Zhe to meet up and take photos of the SK15SPL Silvia, which worked out perfectly because I’ve always been a big fan of his S13 Silvia and wanted to snap a few photos of it as well. The S13 is styled so uniquely, breaking away from the typical…

The Car Modify Wonder A31 is still alive
Before I arrived in Japan, my good friend @sotobo_oldschool messaged me to say he had something from the early D1 days that he knew I’d love to see when I came to Japan. He dropped a few hints, but I wanted to keep it semi-mysterious so I could be surprised. We met up at a…

Visiting WELD in Yokohama
While in Yokohama, I stopped by the legendary car shop WELD to pick up some parts for the SK15SPL Silvia. I had the chance to meet the owner, Ito-san, in person for the first time after following each other on Instagram for a while. If you didn’t know, Ito-san is the mastermind behind the creativity…

Disturbing the quite street of Chiba in Fumiya’s JZX100 Cresta
I was lucky enough to spend the day in Chiba with some great people, including Fumiya, who drives this insane JZX100 Cresta. In true Tokyo fashion, the car is wide, low, and loud. Ironically, when Fumiya isn’t cruising the streets in his Cresta, he works as a taxi driver in Tokyo. The JZX sits on…
