In this long winter we cant let the snow stop all the fun.  Heres Suenaga testing out our Powervehicles S13 Silvia from our stock.  The snap is on Ebisu’s School Course.  The far side corner gets shade from the sun meaning this corner was still covered in snow, making for a challenge!

We have added a page to the blog with lots of details on the package that will be come a MUST for all drifters worldwide.  DRIFT HEAVEN WEEKS page up now!

Our good friend Dino Dalle Carbonare has been a busy man as ever.  A little while ago he shot Naoto Suenaga’s 2008 S13 Silvia here at Ebisu.  Full Feature on

Here’s one of our cars snapped at K-style - The home of the Team Orange cars.  The Orange Evo 9 is driven in the D1 by Naoto Suenaga after Team Owner Kumakubo-san moved on to his Evo 10 this season. The Full Tune GT-R Monster was having a new boost controller fitted as well as the Wastegate reworked so that it vented to atmosphere as requested by it lucky new owner before it headed off to the UK.

Here’s some of my qualifying passes from D1 East Division Round 5 at the Nishi Course.  This circuit has to be one of my favourites I have driven on.  It’s not often used for drift as the course is made up of one section of the Nishi Grip circuit here at Ebisu.  Other than these comps, the Tri annual Drift Matsuris are one of the few other times that offer a rare chance for drivers to try their hand at this course, as the track is sectioned off for an hour or so, at the end of each day.  It’s so much fun, especially the long version in which you’re flat out in 3rd for a good number of seconds.  Check out the video and see what I mean…..

This is another customer who took the opportunity to come and try his hand at drifting a car here in Japan whilst visiting Japan.  Roy Mackenzie, originally from Scotland but now working out of Malaysia, had previous track experience in his Tuned Vauxhall VX220, but had never tried drifting it (Well not atleast on purpose!).

After being consistent all day, and qualifying 5th, i made an error leading to the crash in the last round of D1 Divisional here on the Minami Course .  Apologies to Masato-san (The driver of the AE86) for leaving him with no where to go!  I tried to remedy a poor entry with bags of throttle, but too much angle meant i came up short and ended up switching back across the track, collecting the AE86, and ending up in the foam barrier.  The damage is only cosmetic and the car will be ready for the final round in October.  This meant though i didn’t get a top 8 finish and i now need a lot of points from the last round to get a D1 SL License for next year….  oh well that’s racing!

Special Thanks to Luke who caught the crash (perfectly!) on tape as he was there filming for his upcoming DVD – We are Drift.  I could say i done it on purpose just for some good footage…..  but I’d be lying!

A group of us decided to have a “mini drift matsuri”(Japanese for Festival) a couple of weeks ago.  Luke from Hashirya exports was in attendance in his orange JZX90 Chaser and he was accompanied by his parents who were visiting all the way from OZ.  JC came down in his R32 from Sendai to join us, the locals, Stuart, Ems and myself.  It was a good days drifting but what made it extra special is the fact we had a pro camera man – Pete Leong of PeteLeong Photography, along to shoot the action.  His artistic and effects shots are particularly cool – as you can now see for yourself!
