Kanjo cars are absolutely awesome in every way.

Except incredibly overrated. Well, the entire scene.


Now I know Kanjozoku. Awesome.

And here's another Knajo car, this time a Mercedes! Wow.

None of these are Kanjozoku cars.

At least to my understanding, Kanjozoku cars are cars that run the Kanjo street loop 'circuit', so street racers. They're called Kanjo because of their participation, and unique styling... but not a style you really emulate if you do not participate in it.
 
@SVX None? The first mercedes was mentioned in the website to be. The yellow civic is and the red mercedes is not.

If the civic and silver mercdes are not, all I have left is A. people are stuppid, or B. Google are dumb. There goes my happiness.

I just pointed a mistake... not sure what happiness has to do with anything. Doesn't mean the cars aren't oddly modified, it's just that they have no affiliation with the Kanjo.
 
I meant with happiness, I thought I posted cars in the right place, and did not so, it was a somewhat wasted post.

Just nevermind.

Posting one more and I'm off. The roof I'm sure it's an odd modification for such BMW.

And I'm off, to bed.
 
I like the overall look, but the roof rack is too much. Black wheels don't always look good either, but these are fine.
 
When I saw the first pic, I thought it was a Renault Clio, and then I thought it was an EG Civic, but it's clearly got to be an Autozam, what with the tiny cockpit and gullwing doors and also the glaringly obvious, that RE-Amemiya only works on Mazda's AFAIK (Though wasn't there some Lotus Europa he worked on?..) That rear boot/engine cover edge, also gives it away.

Any other info?



I was thinking Honda Today seeing as it has Today in the name. Looks too large for an AZ-1 imo.

Edit:

According to this Tumblr post it's a Honda Today:



While searching for more information I stumbled on this, worth a look:

Nonsense!.. My version of reality is more correcter. :lol:

I'm sure this was posted in questionable mods at some point, and it was an Autozam. I'll have a look for more info.
It appears we're both wrong. As this car predates the Autozam by about 3-4 years.

I'm with SVX on this one. 👍
 
Honda Today:

This is the most rare of the three cars of this article.
The starting point is the popular Honda Kei Car Today.
This particular creation of RE-Amemiya was exhibited at the Tokyo Auto Salon in 1988 and was an integral part of the Mid Night Club
Aesthetically speaking, it is hard to recognize the original car, thanks to the adoption of gullwing doors and by installing a bodykit aggressivissimo developed, designed and built by Bomex.

Under the hood, the original engine from 660 cm3 was replaced by birotore 12A rotary engine that powered the Mazda RX-7 SA22C in its variant of 165 horses.
At this engine was added to the turbine 13B engine that powered the Mazda RX-7 FC3S and a pair of intercoolers that equipped the RX-7 FC3S.
RE-Amemiya developed in collaboration with the Trust an exhaust system equipped with manifolds Sutentako and a terminal in stainless steel.

In addition, the original 5-speed transmission of the RX-7 FC3S was modified with a lightened flywheel.
The power developed by this engine in this configuration was about 265 horses that, together with the weight of only 820 kg, this prototype made of the RE-Amemiya a real missile to 4 wheels.
To curb this missile were installed the original discs of the RX-7 FC3S with four-piston calipers front and rear.
Also installed were also new adjustable shock absorbers of Koni.
 
But... you linked my own post that says Honda Today...

It's on the Amemiya website (as said above somewhere) with everything you need to know about it. Although I hear the hp rating might be BS.

Even bigger pro tip: don't try to be a source of information when you're half asleep :lol:
 
So we've probably all heard about Daigo Saito's Murcielago drift car. How about his Nissan R35 drift car?


Nothing really odd about it especially since Kawabata has ran his R35 in D1 for a couple of years now. Only thing that's different about Daigo's car from what I read somewhere was that it was running on 21 inch wheels.
