Happy Birthday to my No.1 Japan drift idol, Kawabata Masato!

Last night it was one of my Japan drift idol birthday, the 2007 D1GP Champion Kawabata Masato. He is my No.1 favorite drifters in Japan and I adore his hardcore drift skill. Aggressive, yet smooth and precise is why made him my No.1 drift idol. Not coincidentally, my No.1 Malaysian drift idol Nazrul Afifi is from Team Toyo Tires Drift too. They are a great team do they?

Last weekend he won both D1 Round 7 and D1 Round 8, so I think that's a great gift he can give to himself (and sponsors) to collaborate with his 32th Birthday. A very big congratulation to him.

Interesting fact: Kawabata age is 1 year old older then Nazrul Afifi.

This is him drifting his Team Toyo Tires with GP Sports 180SX.

His amazing reign of trophy from weekend's D1GP competition. He won 1st place at both round that weekend. Amazing.

But Alhamdulillah, thanks to last year Toyo Tires APDO Malaysia competition I finally got the chance to see him in flesh and witness him drifting his 600ps 180SX for the first time!

This is me, with Kawabata Masato. Super duper priceless picture.

Oh, his skill? Watch.


Just want to wish you good luck and hope you can take next year D1GP 2010 Champion!

Malaysia fan represent!

Onevia S13?

What exactly is Onevia? The name came when you take the front of Nissan 180SX and put em to your Nissan Silvia S13. Here's some pics to drool.

p/s: I may post like this in recent times, since I'm busy with my studies and this only takes few minutes.

Unveiled: Nazrul Afifi's new 180SX

Miss me? Hahaha. Anyway..as the title say...check it out yo!

First of all, I would like to express my token of gratitude to Along for giving me the honor to sit inside his newly bought 180SX last Thursday and also for giving me the first chance to snap a couple of his car pictures. If you guys didn't know, this car was recently fresh out from the paintshop last Thursday morning! Thank you very much my drift idol.

Basically there will be no engine shot and interior shot for now. Why? Because the original engine will be thrown out, for a favor of a more powerful SR engine; Crower Blacktop SR24DET! The current engine is mostly stock, with only a few modification and bits inside. The interior meanwhile, is stock with only Nardi Steering, Nismo gearknob and Racecraft bucket seat changed.

No, this car WILL not replace his Cefiro. This car acts as a backup car if his Cefiro suffers any damage, brokedown etc. It also acts as his street legal drift car since his Cefiro is all strip down and well...you don't want to mess with JPJ and Police right...do you think you can run that around in road?

Enjoy the pictures! C&C are welcomed. Pictures are taken with Canon 450D and Nikon D60. Picture size are 800.

Custom Uras Type-GT Widebodykit made by Monster Garage. Paint color are the same as Kawabata's D1 180SX.

Awesomeness? LOL.

Running the super sexy 18' LMGT4 and all four with 255/35/18 on the rear and 235/35/18 on the front! Guess what...all 4 cost RM5k!

Oh, Nazrul said he will slam the car and soften the rear suspension a little bit more. But overall ride height is quite satisfying.

Take a look at the custom made rear diffuser!

Thanks for checking out guys!
