*EDITED

got the news from Ciscokids over at facebook 

"Sad day in history, Yesterday i had confirmation that this bit of X Chassis history was parted out and crushed. I'm sure for many of the people who follow this page it was apart of there inspiration to get into an X chassis in the first place and probobly one of the most well known cars of D1 for that era" 29th july 2016

the visit to kidsheart is not complete without checking out this car.

(yes,i am a fanboy)

it had seen better days,but i have to say the paint is still in a good condition despite being parked in the open

i couldn't get a full shot from my slr because the space was tight and i was using 50mm lens

car and front bonnet was locked,looking from the interior most parts are still intact except missing front seat and few stuff. couldn't say about the engine though~

that is all i got on tezuka old mark II

this is actually an attempt to start blogging frequently again,but i will no longer update on my own car/build 

(here is the reason why-its a nissan,nothing special,dead stock,no modification done,very common,and parts are easy to find LOL)

Kidsheart of Aichi

From Nagoya station we took a train down to Inazawa station

 Inazawa seem like a quite boring town out skirt of Nagoya but that not the reason im here

moving on,we then took a taxi ride to Ichinomiya 

 something to remember that taxi ride in Japan are expensive haha! 

but its either this or a 30 minute walk to the station 

 the taxi stopped as the gps notified we have arrived at our destination

 behold KIDSHEART!

 for those who didnt know, back in the days KIDSHEART was the official Nissan authorized workshop for Sileighty conversion.

it was recorded that 400 Sileighty were made by this shop. Nowadays the main business are used cars dealer and workshop

inside the workshop one cant help noticing all those Trophy on the shelf.  

yes, i am here to meet the driver of BEE*R R324 and the legendary pink JZX81 Mark II, Tsuyoshi Tezuka

Sadly Tezuka was out of town during our visit. He was in Russia for a drift competition.

but nevertheless his right man Kazumasa Sekido was there to help us.

Despite the language barrier Sekido try his very best explaining and answering our question on everything we need to know using his phone translator. 

(their Japanese to English translation apps is so damn precise compare to our shitty google translate hahaha) 

some of the freedoms parts project on display

 Oh FYI there is a also small RC track on the side of shop

 some of the customer cars

customer drift cars to be exact lol 

 stock kouki

the art of sticking sticker on a sticker on the wall

another customer drift car hehe

 missile!

unlike tokyo,workshop here have plenty of open space 

a good looking type x

 this is what Sekido drive, a road legal s15 

 Tezuka used to drive this r34 gtt as well,looks like its not been running for quite sometimes

 some might remember this r35 steagea wagon from Tokyo Auto Saloon not too long ago.

 hey hey! thanks Sekido!

here is also one of the reason,to see this car live.

it was so unreal! 

that is pretty much what i got on KIDSHEART. still got a few more pictures left.

maybe next time

i personally want to thanks Sekido for his hospitality through out our visit at KISDHEART.

we will be back and probably go to YZ circuit like you told us to! haha
