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.
