Mizuno-San`s S14

One of the guys at Sky Garage is Mizuno-san who has this S14 you see below. He has chosen to take a different route than modern drift cars and instead run very small rims with a lot of dish. This is more like the early 90`s drift style in my opinion. One thing to note is the really nice fender work on the rear which is all molded fiberglass, it give the car a hint of R32. In addition is the Navan style front bumper. Interesting story behind the bumper is that the original manufacturer was located in north eastern Japan where the large earthquake and tsunami happened on March 11th. The facility was completely destroyed and the mold swept away making it this bumper an extremely rare piece. The interior has been given the full suede treatment. I am usually not a fan of this but it looks really good here. The car is currently being equipped with some E-brake upgrades.

  1. nice looking ride. I DO like the suede and wouldn't mind doing that to my car if it wasn't such a bitch work and money wise to do.

    Do him a favor and polish those headlights though!
