PURE #JOYOFMACHINE: JCCA PHOTO ATTACK
If you go by the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, the following post should be worth about 120,000 of them. With as much raw material as I gathered at Sunday’s JCCA New Year Meeting, I’ve been struggling with how I should approach posting about this massive event. After a bit of thought, I decided I’d wrap up my coverage in fairly straightforward way – by sharing a giant load of photos!
If anything, I thought this might be the best way to try and convey the sensory overload of the New Year Meet. As you look through the photos, don’t forget keep in mind that this is still just a tiny fraction of the overall selection of cars that gathered in Odaiba in Saturday. With enough time and bandwith I probably could have turned this into a 1,000 photo post…
Anyway.grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the show.

I love the "photo assault" style!! as long as its an addition not replacing any of the other post methods!!
Mitsubishi mirage!
Best Post. Ever!
There are cars in here that I will never ever see, which are cool as all hell. However, there is ONE car in this post that I could possibly get my hands on, and it's that Violet Wagon. I don't know when was the last time I saw one, years for sure, but they WERE sold in Mexico. Yet no one does anything with them as they only came in 4 door and Wagon form. I oughta try and change that.
I have never seen so many beautiful cars in one time before :O :D
"Joy and exhaustion"? Yes, you captured it well. Reminds me of my experience with car shows in Japan. I just took picture after picture, filling up the memory card. Love the delivery style. Simple, straightforward, yet still delivers full sensory overload.
One of the BEST POSTS ever on Speedhunters! Just of bunch of car lovers and their awesome cars; great job capturing this art.
goddamn, i just would like to pick up a flight to japan and tour it just for see cars and events like these!
this kind of post are brilliant i think, i support oter "photo assauts"!
My head just exploded - vintage car overload! Wow, so many cars in that lineup that I would absolutely kill to have!
E P I C
Any pics of that white hard top miata next to the purple and black skyline in the picture below the AA63 Carina?
nice
Japan Skyline and Carina Coupe are the coolest.
Also, I didnt know about Isuzu cars, other than jeeps...Very nice cars.
favorite car blog post. ever. I'd pay money for this. thank you.
Like auto otaku perfected... no bs. No fame-seeking posers. just cars. I wish SH was just this...
damnnnn...that mirage!why is soo less popular in japan?hard to see any blog,web, post anythng bout mitsu mirage,cyborg nowadays~
@qaiyimoto1988 Yeah, for some reason you don't see them much. Always living in the shadow of the Evo I suppose.
Thank you so much for the Starion picture
@NolanBjorn No problem! Actually, now that I think about it, that was the only Starion I recall seeing.
Wow, I had to take a break halfway through this post due to the overload of cool cars. Great photos!
S15 is just beautiful... some day she wil be mine
So cool, please more topics like this! You rocks guys!
im gettin tired of skyline, celica, fairlazy, rx7, please show some love to others model, thank you
yeah,u rght man..im begging for more hothatch like mitsu mirage cyborg!
how come on a lot of cars i see these days, in japan or in stance meets or whatever, the cars' bonnets are never properly mounted? they're always out of alignment on the back part, even if it lifts at the front. is that a style thing or is there a real reason for it, or do people just unanimously suck hard at mounting aftermarket bonnets
ComJive They're actually not mounted incorrectly. A lot of people tend to open their bonnets but then just leave the safety catch clicked in, which ends up being especially noticeable on front hinged cars because it looks slanted. The bonnet is released but just not open all the way.
Please stop, Mike. This is TOO much win for only one article.. I want to look through it over and over again. can't stop!
Mike Garrett TheShinigami Thanks to you I've watched through the article once more. :) Make it stop!But seriously, these kind of articles bring inspiration and some new ideas.
Mike Garrett TheShinigami did mitsu mirage cyborg still exist in japan?hahaa...always searchng for picture,post bout mitsu mirage in japan...hardly find one!
OH.....MY.....GOD!!!! MIND....BLOWN!!!
Wow, a lot well known machines there (via the interwebs). Some of those Daruma Celicas were awesome.
(This style of post is cool and I can see how you can easily run out of time).
I am researching about shakken (car inspection) now since I will have to put my car through it soon and man, there are a lot of rules. And, a lot of these cars seem to break them.
roryfjohnston just get shaken then afterwards put whatever modification you want on it, take it off for next shaken since its far away. thats what most people do
K's I have thought this and you are probably right. I do know that changing the width may just mean a different class of vehicle. Height....the limit is 9cm. That is nothing! I do find it funny thinking about people bringing their cars minus all the mods to the inspection station. Those techs MUST know what is going on.
K's also, it seems that toe-in is the only thing checked as far as alignment. so, that crazy oni camber we see is okay?! I guess so.
Possibly one of the articles i've ever read (?) on SH. It's good to see just how varied these events are.
Sorry for my not perfect english, but, i have a question: in japan isn't forbidden to modifing cars like these? Japan people are very lucky, here, in italy, all is forbidden and it's impossible to Use a modifing car on the streets
I was scrolling down and hoping that this post would never end... so many awesome cars in here. Thank you Mike!
I'm disappointed cos no Celica XX desktop :(
Other than that... Japan is just awesome!
