I thought I post one final entry from the 2010 Exciting Car Showdown to keep everyone happy and show you yet more stunning JDM rides from what is one of the most important shows of the year. And what better car to kick this post off than with the D1 Motor Works built BNR32, created exclusively for track use. The HKS 2.8L kit and Trust T618Z turbos are good for 667HP.

This is one car I will need to do a more in-detail shoot of it. Whenever the guys at Impulse will fit the engine back into the LHD AE86 that we first saw at TAS this year I will drop over to shoot both cars. 

The GC110 is powered by this super clean L28 running on Solex carbs…

…and of course here are those TE37Vs again!

This JZX100 MarkII had the most bizarre name out of all the cars at the show. "Gazelle-Punchi" …didn't know gazelles threw punches! 

Of course Kumakubo and Suenaga set up a cool Team Orange area where both the D1 Evo X was on display…

…showing off its longitudinally mounted 4B11…

…along with the Koyama Racing Labo (KRL) time attack monster.

Now this means business! Machining specialists NTS have teamed up with K Style and KRL to create one-off billet parts like the intake plenum.

And take a look at Yokomo's latest addition to their drift RC car body lineup, a perfect scaled replica of Kuma's M-sports kitted Evo X. Kumakubo also mentioned that we will soon be finding out who has been chosen to replace Tanaka, who has decided to quit D1 all together, as the third driver at Team Orange. More on this soon.

I quite liked this Original Runduce built ECR33, which competes in the 2WD-class of the Meister Cup track day events. The RB25DET under the hood cranks out 550 HP.

Another Meister Cup competitor, participating in the 4WD class, is this Racing Service Factor BCNR33, which sports a fully built Auto Select motor boosted by a Trust T88-33D turbine and sending drive to all four wheels via a BNR34 6-speed Getrag transmission. If that wasn't enough there is are an additional 50 PS on tap thanks to a small dose of nitrous oxide.

This S15 and E-PS13 at the RYO stand were both built in collaboration with Total Car Produce MMM. The Silvia participates in D1 Street Legal.

A quick view from the back.

I really like the look of this black Fujita Engineering FD3S, a very serious time attack machine powered by a side-ported, T04Z equipped 13B. Boost is kept low for reliability but there are still 500 HP to play around with. With such a light and balanced chassis this must be one hell of a drive.

The Fortune RX-7 I showed in Part 2 was joined by this other Veilside creation based on a Honda NSX. Not to everyone's taste I'm sure, but definitely something a little different.

As ever R31 House never fails to impress. This particular 80's Skyline was running a 400 HP RB20DET, fitted with a Tomei 2.4L stroker kit and R33 5-speed manual gearbox.

But it was this one that got my vote, the Skyline Wagon! How cool is this thing??

Under the hood was a stock RB25DET fitted with a low-mounted HKS GT3037 turbine which allows it to develop a more than acceptable 350 HP. Gotta respect the wagons!

I was asked to show more shots of the crazy FF-drift Celica….

…running that insane rear negative camber! I have actually seen this thing on the streets around Tsukuba circuit, and that camber looks even wilder when seen out on the road.

Another ride I was asked to show in more detail is this Paint and Cutting Make Naganokoubou RPS13, almost stock under the hood…

…but rocking a very fashionable dorisha style. The body is a mix of Origin Streamline aero an D-max front fenders.

This ST182 Carina was quite an interesting ride, and I'm pretty sure it's owned by D1 driver Nakamura. The 165 HP 3S-GE that powers it could do with a a few more horses, but what it lacks in outright power it makes up with plenty of noise from that bosozoku style exhaust!

Remember the Roadster World Sileighty from Part 1? Well this is what it looked like at the end of the week-end after tons of people had written messages on it.

I had to do my part too.

I hope you guys enjoyed the coverage from this years Showdown in Nagoya. This is one show that won't disappoint for years to come!
