The guys over at Titan Auto works went to the HKS Premium day at Fuji speedway and sent on some cool pics.
I’m sure many of you have seen this beast on the internet from time to time, we felt it was time to get it onto the site to join the ranks.
For anyone who is staring at the screen and wondering what the hell is going on, allow me to explain. This is a 2002 Toyota bB. The car is based on the Yaris/Vitz chassis and was targeted at the younger generation in their early to late 20’s. These cars are hugely popular in Japan as the bB and in the US where it went under the name of the Scion xB. For anyone who has wondered why these are so insanely popular, we’ve also asked the same question every time one appears on the internet. In America where these little crazy box shaped Toyota’s have a huge following, people could easily pour thousands of dollars into an xB/bB to create their perfect vision.
Enjoy this pretty cool by shot by Phillip MC Hugh of a clean and simple DC2 wearing some nice and rare Racing Hart cp 035’s.
Its no secret that the Japanese scene has a bigger following in Ireland then the German when it comes to cars, but in saying that the German car following has really come on again in the past few years with the younger generation. There seems to be cars popping up all over the place and its a different take to the older generation who appreciate the more standard looking car. We decided to head to the Treacy’s in Portlaoise meet which had been organised by members of Vagdrivers.net. I really wanted get more of a variety up on the site, and the Portlaoise meet would show the variations in styling from the different generations of enthusiast of the VAG scene.
Correct me if I’m wrong about this being an SR spec AE85, but its definitely a nice site on the eyes. With how many have been brought into the country pre drifted or have been built or modified over the years, seeing a totally standard example of the Japanese AE85/86 is always going to be good.
Many people have been asking about sticker’s since the last ones dried up. Not to worry, we will have a batch of these coming real soon. These will be available from our online shop which we will be launching in the coming months. Hopefully you will be down for supporting the cause so we can keep showing what Ireland has to offer. The shop will consist of limited edition t-shirts and stickers and should be up within the next month. The shop will be a little different from the usual, so be sure to check back for updates on this. Thanks to everyone who has been supporting us. It means a lot.
You might have heard about this already, J’s Racing President Junichi Umemoto hit someone with his car, he then attempted to leave the scene which is pretty bad on his behalf! I hope the Judaical system in Japan isn’t as bad as some countries and I’m sure there that its not as bad as it seems, apparently he panicked and fled the scene. Its crazy how one minute you are a President of a huge car tuning company and then the next your being charged for attempted murder! Here’s what happened:

This E39 has been causing quite the stir on the internet the past few weeks and well you can see why.
It was only about 20 or so years ago the E70 was a common sight on Irish roads. Finding one these days is as rare as an Irish summer. Lets face it back in the day these cars didn’t look this appealing. In fact they were pretty a pretty basic saloon from Toyota. They got people from A to B and back again in a reliable Toyota fashion. As time went on, general wear and tear accompanied by great Irish weather took its toll on the E70 and many of its old friends. Most of what was left has either been left to return to the soil while the others have been long crushed.
