or i can look at them and comment on them? yeah. i think i'll do that instead. -
I don't like the Zenki front bumper unless it has louvered headlights, or at least the plastic headlight covers. Maybe I'm just biased because my first car was a Kouki. Still, the smoked Zenki tails are hawt. I'm beginning to agree with what nearly everyone says… Best look is an '86T with the kouki front end and an SS lip. Wet dream material from every angle. Not that I don't like the Zenki, obviously, as that is what I own, lol!"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you…"

Originally, I didn't care for the Zenki bumper. There are still some angles that look funny, but overall it's grown on me. On mine… I feel the fog lights help to balance out the front. At least helps with the upper bumper overhang. If only they weren't so finicky.

Really liking the clear headlight covers on this Z. Pretty much everything on that Z is nice.
and if anyone notices, he has a louver shade on the inside of his hatch -
Sexy car, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE editing. Wow. I like the kit and the headlight covers though, it really shows off the Zenki's good side!Ven;325120 wrote: http://youtu.be/iJnyjJ1KB3M[/video]]

That car might have looked awesome with MC Hammer blasting out of the speakers, but it just looks so ungainly nowadays. It's very cluttered-looking. Also, those clear plastic headlight things look just like what they are, cheap plastic panels from Home Depot.....IMHO. Throw them on the pile with your rear window louvers to be blown up.
As for the driving. This guy actually seems pretty good. I'm guessing the car is open-diffed, with a boost-up, probably 250hp. It's hard as hell to slide, and he makes up for it with speed and balls. You can hear the chirp as he prematurely regains traction, despite still at WOT. He could have kept it going with clutch kicking, but it probably wasn't invented yet! This is actually a pretty famous video in the drifting community as it's one of the oldest known films. My friends and I all laugh at it, while at the same time wondering who the hell this guy was (or became).sigpic -

I remember the old "pluspy" vids that Keiichi Tsuchiya took back in the 80s when he was drifting his AE86 through mountain passes that got his racing license suspended. -

terrible editing? that thing was probably filmed using a cam-corder the size of your engine, onto a VHS tape, and cut and spliced together with an exacto knife and scotch tape.Tomakze;325194 wrote: Sexy car, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE editing.

spoiled, are we? -
Perhaps I am, but that doesn't change the fact that it jumps scenes so fast sometimes that it is disorienting. Just because it is old, doesn't excuse it! Bad editing is bad editing.
