We said it many times before and we’ll say it again: New Zealand has the one of the most amazing grassroot car scene there is. Taking your car out to do some skinds in the night is something as natural in NZ as it is in Japan. Their 86s often look simple, but dont get the wrong impression, they drive them hard all the time.
Have you ever wondered how Katsuhiro Ueo managed to kick so many Silvia’s ass back in early 2000’s with his little N/A Corolla? We all know he has some serious driving skills but there was a lot of setup magic involved in his success too. Here are some details.
This has to be one of the first motorFIX videos weve ever saw few years back. Back in mid 2007 these guys were just popping up on blogs and were driving pretty regular E70s compared to their newer cars these days. Watch it untill the end and youll see how hard these guys drive (and dont care about their chassis)
Derryls Trueno is one of our most favourite street cars from the US. We featured it exactly one year ago to show our local readers how a street spec Corolla should be done and why keeping it simple is sometimes the best thing to do. Since everyone loved it we thought it might be a good thing to feature it again and this time use a bit more comprehensible language.
Back in June 2009 we did a short interview with guys from motorFIX. We didnt really had any international readers back then so we didnt bother to translate it into English but since there are more foreigners watching this blog these days then Czechs we thought it might be a good time to revive this piece. If you undestand Japanese then heres a link to the original interview.
