Gallery>> Ae86 Day At Daikoku Pa – Pt.2

It's back at Daikoku PA now for a final look at the AE86 Day meeting that went down last Friday. The action, yet again, was abruptly cut short by the Police who by 9 pm had already closed the entrance to the parking area in an attempt to keep more loud bosozoku bikers from entering. Since a lot more hachiroku were meant to arrive the meeting began to disperse as people started heading out to Umihotaru PA on the Aqua Line, the usual back-up location when Daikoku gets shut early. 

But since I was on a tight schedule and had no time to head on the Aqua Line…

…I did another quick lap of the parking lot to take a few final shots.

Since some of you are not into the whole AE86 thing I thought I'd throw in a couple of shots of other cars that were present. How about a Veilside Fortune NSX, a car I seem to bump into quite often at these kind of gatherings. One of Yokomaku-san's last creations. 

Car guys chatting about cars…the essence of the "Daikoku Meet."

We saw a few shots of this purple Shutoko racer in Part 1…

…but I thought it would be cool to show you what propels it. Things might not be *** and span in the engine bay but seeing a silver-top 20-valve 4AG means some serious work has gone into tuning it.

Individual cone filters for each of the four direct intakes.

 A lot of attention has gone into giving it a very unique grip-look, with countless aerodynamic add-ons like the massive wing…

…carbon diffuser…

…and a front splitter with custom canards at each corner for better front-end bite.

Keeping the car glued to the tarmac through those bumpy corners on the C1 are the chunky Advan A048 semi-slick tires mounted on classic SSR rims.

Even carbon fiber spoilers mounted around the window frames…

…which come in handy as mini tables on which to place the odd can of Pokka ice coffee!

Pure street racer inside with a massive dash-mounted Autometer rev counter and shift-up indicator.

Another little bonus car for those that are not too interested in Corollas, a vintage Honda City Turbo II, in perfect showroom condition and sporting some very curious 80's aero bits. Gotta love the hood spoiler with the massive Acura logo!

My favorite hachirokus are always the simpler ones, panda coloring, vintage wheels, nice stance and you know you are onto a winner.

Another few examples like the Trueno coupe we looked at yesterday…

…and this hatchback, one of the last cars to make it into the PA before it got closed.

HID conversions or regular bulb upgrades are one of the most popular modification owners like to carry out on their cars. You can see the blue bulbs reflected throughout the headlights of these two cars.

And yet another white on black Trueno…

…but fitted with a nice 20-valve blacktop. Me likes.

The non-existent clear-coat on the hood of this red Trueno hints that it was still wearing the factory paint.  

With most AE86 all gone by 9:30 pm I jumped in the car satisfied, and began my long drive up to Fukushima-ken as most of the guys continued on to Umihotaru to meet up with even more AE86s. I would have loved to go, but time was not on my side.

We need a place to meet and hang out like this in L.A.

Gotta love the 86!

Now it's Eighty-Twelve day? This event in Yokohama ended 12 hours before midnight PST. Plenty of time to get it in and done without going past deadline. And you are filing it a week later? This is getting stupid. When does the Crapolla garbage end?

4

umihotaru was packed.. no parking.... too many ae86's....cool stuff.... glad i made it there... i got home on a 1/3 tank fuel... gas in japan.. soooooo expensive....

5

Are the bosozoku really that dangerous that they can ruin everyone's fun and always get away with it? Why not organize a "Car" gang to defend meetings and keep the boso away

6

fantastic

7

This ae86 day blows... The RX-7 Day are way better.. not blaming anyone for this but the 86ers are not too keen on celebrating 86 day.. Dino.. you did a good job, Considering the little amount of car that were present.. and the pile of work you need to take care..



Fatigue .. go suck your daddy dick..

8

i like all picturess... why r they hating.. i guess.. they dont have car.. to drive.. have pride on what u have man.. dont hate..not. cool..i take pride on my ride.. everyday....crusty or not... it still a ride.. from point a to point b.. AE86 ALL THE WAY...

9

Ah, the Fourth Illustrations and a bit what a beauty

10

BOKEH!!!!!

11

I thought Scion was a US only thing (pic 17). This is what I picture in my head (in dreams as well) when I think of a Japanese car meet.



The City Turbo II is the bee's knees. Only Honda turbo production car (besides the City Turbo I and Acura RDX, of course).

12

You guys didn't happen to go back to the daikoku for RX-8 day did you?

13

Dragging this out so long is lame, and anyone who disagrees is a hater.

14

Speed Hunters motto:

Anything worth doing is worth doing to such an extreme that everyone ends up at everyone else's throats arguing about the overdose of every single subject that gets run into the ground from excessive coverage to the exclusion of all other topics.

15

i am so tired of honda day everyday at walmart... ae86 day would be a blessing

16

Gotta love the 86!

17

This site is great and all. But can you please stop refering to late-70's and 80's cars as vintage?

Especially crappy little Honda hatchbacks that don't even deserve a mention.

18

lol u mad bro?

19

I spy a Scion xB (pic 17). I thought Japan didn't get them as they were targeted at the "youth" in the US.



And that City Turbo II is the bee's knees. The Honda City was the only turbocharged production vehicle ever made by Honda (not Acura as they now have the turbo RDX), correct?

20

Lol, silly Bosozoku, gotta' love their shenanigans. Oh, and for anyone who can't get over the fact they're posting AE86's? Why sit and complain over it. You obviously don't like Speedhunters, so go read something else. Easy as that.

21

nice pics, but seems the coverage could be better. Send Mike back to Japan! ;)

22

@.said Bosozoku are not really dangerous. Usually the just show up and make a lot of noise... usually just gets the cops called. When the used to come to our car meets in Hokkaido most people wouldn't say anything to their face, but would just be anoyed. Now a days they are just looking for attention.

23

Dis he just said semi sicks insted of slicks! jaja jk

24

What the hell, it's AE86 month again, how long will this one last, through the end of the next fricking decade?

25

Is that purple one's aero for a lame "very unique grip-look" or is it proper aero because it's tracked?

26

92LancerEvo1 the car is not a Scion XB but a Toyota BB =D

Both are the same but the XB is made for the US and the BB for Japan,like the Integra and the RSX

27

To answer 92Lanevo1's thing for xBs. Toyota sold their domestic models IST,bB, Corolla Rumion as Scion XA, xB and xD with upsized engines.

28

Dino, you should sell that coffee can photo to Pokka to use in a poster or something!

29

As if Carola owners wouldn't be screaming like the little babies they are, if we were six days into a month long dirge of Reliants, Trabants, or Skodas, all of which are just as lame as Carolas.

Not.

30

i need to go to japan!!!

31

Some awesome Rolla's here!



NSX looks nice.



I like to see anyone with the balls to run Bosozoku anywhere else in the world besides Japan.



Besides their "Space Shuttle" body kits and attention seeking behavior, their wheel fitment / offsets and ride heights are pretty damn tight!

32

AE86 are really awesome!

33

serious cars there :)



AE86 FTW

What a bunch of whining children.

All I read is:

"If you don't like my music, you're a hater."

"If you don't like my clothes, you're a hater."

"If you don't like my haircut, you're a hater."

"If you don't like my car, you're a hater."

Here's a new idea, if someone else doesn't like the stuff you do or like, they're not a hater, they're someone who is not you, who likes things that are different from the things you like. If your response to that fact is to name call the rest of the world for disagreeing with you, then you have the emotional maturity of a two year old child.

If crapolla owners have a problem with the vast majority of the population being utterly sick and tired of being force fed crapolla coverage for weeks and months on end, then that is a problem in the minds of the crapolla owners only.

The word crapolla isn't in the website URL. Any more than casual and passing coverage of crapollas or coverage more than any other type of car is excessive, and anyone pointing out this fact is justified.

WOW hey I don't like reading articles on Hondas, or 240sx's so what do I do? don't click on them.



Give that a try ya freakin babies. Fatigued, AE86 is iconic whether you like it or not, everything else you mentioned, are not.



I hope someone made it up to the 2nd meet? this is like a tease.

37

@Grow Up



Calling the hachiroku a crapolla is as childish as it gets.



Force fed? hahahaha why don't you stop clicking on AE86 articles? If you didn't notice, probably every person who writes articles for SpeedHunters has a place for the hachiroku in their heart. Small as it may be.



I think you may need some new friends.

38

Sadly, fan boys are illiterate. Otherwise they would be able to read the opening screen disclaimer from their Initial D cartoons, which reads "THIS STORY IS FICTION".

39

Holy bokeh on the Pokka coffee shot!!!
