What fuels your passion for drifting, driving technique, or vehicle build/styling? What goal are you currently working towards?
Currently my goal is to learn the car and new power plant by dialing in my solo runs. Trying to nail the perfect line aggressively and consistently keeps me pushing.
Build-wise, seat time is the goal. Reliable NA power and bulletproof drivetrain. At this point the car is set up to preform better at a silly low ride height than it would at what some may call a "performance" height.
My styling taste has been heavily influenced by late 2000's Sekia Hills. Big D Friends fan 😍 However, lately I've been leaning a bit more towards Endless and Wise Square styling. I can't get enough of carbon doodads and aero accents that bridge the gap between drift and time attack and street and track.
Had to do some digging through my photos to find this pic I took of Kuroi's onevia at D1 Fuji 2010. This was shortly after his death and they had a big shrine off to the left. Wish I had taken a picture of the whole scene. His driving and car styling/building was so good!
Kyushu style cars are the best.
Biggest style inspo is whatever this stuff is... Personally I'd say its coincidence that all the best looking cars have a variant of these wheels :P

Chokichi's S13 was the first one I really remember that started blending time-attack and drift styling. This was back in like 2006. GT wing, canards/splitters, lexan windows and even a naca duct.
Late 2000s sekia style ftw! My favorite shop is gun sports specifically because of all the wacky shit they were doing to uras GT kits around that time. Their S14 with the R34 widebody kit has to be on my top 5 all-time cars list.
