Wreckin' MEET Vol. 2 - Hiroshima, Japan [pics]

[WillCarter]

Thanks to gotwood of this very parish I found myself searching out pictures from this meet which happened yesterday. It appears to be very USDM based, which in basic terms means Japanese people making their cars look American, sometimes based on American cars trying to look Japanese and other times Americans trying to make their cars look European, keeping up? If anything shows the power of the internet, it's this. We have cars in Japan basing themselves on other cars they've seen on American websites, meanwhile I'm sat in the UK posting pictures of those cars from a show on the other side of the world which happened mere hours ago. Sometimes the world isn't such a bad place.

Proper Retro-Rides thread!

Funnily enough I was going to do a similar thread earlier (I added the B210 on Fuchs to the 'Wheels From Other Makes' thread) but couldn't find a good source of pictures.

Cracking stuff!

Mod Trifecta ... this is a cool thread. Never heard of the show before... there are some cars in there to track down some more pictures/info on too

I've hit the moderator jackpot. As the Vol.2 in the title suggests this is the second year for the event. Some pictures from last year (also very damp) can be found here.

I just noticed that one. It appears to be wearing Ferrari wheels.

That BMW 02 is pretty special too.

This post has actually made my day soooo much better. These 5 really stood out to me too, for various reasons

Japanese take on the US style of modding with the British style of weather !

Seriously though , there are some real nice rides in this thread . As for the volvo on Ferrari rims , my mate Jon has the same rims fitted on his mk1 Ford Focus .

Just once I'd like to see a thread of cars that have been modified badly in Japan!
Surely there must be some?!

They always seem to get it right and churn out some fantastic cars.

So much win. Really dislike silly camber though! Loving the white Legend on Slipstreams(I think?)

[ettorebugatti]

Love the variety of cars and their mods!

[HARDCORE]

Much immensitude!

Mildly off topic, but can anyone recommend any sites which list upcoming car shows in Japan?

[Garry]

Anyone else spot the AA badge on the Mk2 Golf? I wonder what other UK-style touches the Japanese have dabbled with?

IIRC those wheels are made by Image. Often appear on MR2's, 300ZX's and ropey Ferrari replicas.
