Ayyy i’m back writing articles again (like my previous articles were famous anyway, but nevermind). Without further chit-chatter, let’s just get into it. The Japanese love themselves some high speed runs, and many tune their cars to specifically race in very high speed and maintain said speed for many minutes. Mid Night Club were the most famous example of this kind of racers. Back in the 90s, most of their cars can easily breach 300 km/h, Japanese or imports. Today, most car would easily exceed the 322 km/h (200 mph) mark stock or tuned, but back then, it was a different story.

No, we’re not done with Ama-san’s rotary swapped cars just yet. This time, it’s something more obscure than a Lotus Europa, it’s the Honda Today. What's A Honda Today? It’s a Kei Car produced back in 1985. From factory it’s available with either a 550 cc engine or a 660 cc engine. And of course since this is Ama-san we’re talking about, he rotary swapped it.

Japan, a place filled with a lot of tuning companies. There are many tuning companies with different products, tuned cars, and such. There’s RE Amemiya, Top Secret Motorsports, Jun Motorsports, and so many others. This time i want to talk about my number 1 favorite of all, it’s the ABFlug S900

Back in the 90s, Indonesia had a very huge racing scene and culture. Varying from your casual street racing, drag racing, and some also choses to race in the one and only Sentul Circuit. On this occassion, i’m going to tell you about this Kemayoran drag strip legend, Nurik. Now unlike Japan, we Indonesian doesn’t really get cars like the Skyline, RX7, Supra, etc for reasonable price, so we improvise with what cars that we can get. Now Nurik in particular, started life as an unlikely to be turned race car Mazda B600.
