Kaido Racer thread. gonna post pictures I've taken and pictures from online blogs etc. try to give a little info on the cars i post too. feel free to contribute or just enjoy the photos if you're into this
for those that don't know: kaido racers tend to be older japanese cars modified with small, wide wheels (13" or 14", 10" on kei cars), usually nostalgia oriented styling, small diameter steering wheels, old racing inspired stickers, even racing inspired bodywork. will let the pictures do the talking
starting with a gx51 on SSR MK2

Ebina Racing mk3 Supra on SSR MK1
Matthew Edwards
rip me. will refrain from posting square photos
another gx51, this one is by Satsuma in southern japan owned by Miayamoto, on formula mesh
William Morales
Comfy topic.
Hunter Nguyen
Higashi Bankin 231 Laurel on 14x14 IF Racing by JDAM. This car had its rear end shortened (axles, control arms, etc) and fenders massaged to fit 14" wide wheels on what looks like stock body
Carson Young
my mistake. wheels are shadow spoke not IF racing. Higashi Bankin had multiple cars on display most with IF racing
Daniel Hill
sa22c RX7 on SSR Mk1 with AVON slicks by J Kawaguchi. This car has had its rear end extended just slightly, called a long tail.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of Veeky Forums are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my job to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

C130 Butaketsu (pig butt) Laurel on widened steel wheels with works fenders
Matthew Gomez
Team ZLAY GX71 on widened steel wheels with slicks, long nose front end, and iirc the fenders are off an N2 Toyota Starlet. This is an older photo, the car has since had its roof cut off in its final stage, and I believe has been crushed/scrapped. car was from hokkaido, frequent at the annual hokkaido nonsuri event, was owned by Sakamoto (iirc)
Luke Kelly
back to a simpler car. another gx51 by miyamoto of southern japan on SSR Tomcats. this is his latest car (same owner as the orange gx51 from eariler). this car has the common 1g engine, but supercharged
Nolan Taylor
posting intermittently since I'm at work.
time for something cute. Hattori Works Daihatsu Mira with 10" SSR MK1, works fenders, takeyari exhaust (often in very small diameters, since it is a kei car, most likely .5" - 1" tips)
Eli Collins
lel i followed her on IG for a while. Can't believe shes an "artist" now
Lucas Campbell
also forgot to add, external oil cooler, vitaloni californian mirrors (one of the most popular kaido racer mirrors, always tilted all the way up)

jesus fucking christ thats hot
Hunter Anderson
another photo of the sa22c from earlier. rear end shot showing the long tail. very subtle.
Tyler Jenkins
Nissan 610 Bluebird "Sameburu" on Enkei Mosport wheels. my personal favorite bluebird
Josiah Carter
silhouette 910 bluebird by hell's racing. often when doing a silhouette car, they will split the bumper and fill the center, follow the body lines on the side, etc. often these cars run very wide wheels with slicks
Camden Gomez
sakura racing team from central japan iirc. celica xx and gx61
Alexander Young
For once, someone on Veeky Forums discussing kaido racers who actually knows their shit. Very nice, OP.
Old photos of a silhouette type GA61 Double X on MK1's, equipped with the glorious Airone gate.
John Roberts
Do they actually race these things or are they show cars?
Adrian Williams
this is a great thread i wish i had some to contribute.
hey op wheres the distinction between kaido and bosozoku?
Jaxon Gonzalez
90% are show cars even the ones like you do occasionally see them drifting or racing
Lucas Brooks
not OP but Kaido cars are built to race or look like race cars. Zokusha are built to be as loud and obnoxious as possible and might borrow similar styling but then go over the top with massive ducktail spoilers and insane tailpipes.
Christian Carter
thanks
Isaac Murphy
Great thread, I've often fantasized about modifying a box caprice in this style.
Mason Butler
im glad my fetish finally has a name
Ayden Thomas
Thoroughly enjoying this thread but how would you guys respond to some Veeky Forumstist sperging about stance shit? On paper there isnt much of a distinction
Ethan Davis
im not even sure why Veeky Forums is so against it in fact this place is very hypocritical when it comes to mods of any kind
Benjamin Martinez
there are examples of cars in that bunch that don't even have extreme camber, i think the camber looks a bit silly but overall it's done about as tastefully as one can do such a thing
Julian Roberts
stancefag here i normally find lowered cars look strange without camber unless they are going for the racecar look
without camber theres normally really big wheelgaps either side of the wheel which just looks ugly, also this sounds weird but camber almost makes a car look like its trying to get lower somehow.
i can see how alot of people would think it looks strange tho
Jacob Johnson
>unless they are going for the racecar look well, these cars are basically tributes to the crazy street racers of the 80s so there is some of that aesthetic there, though of course it's taken to an extreme i think that's why i like this stuff over standard stance, there's an explicit theme to the look that i can comprehend that i can't as much with the whole mid 2000s mid-size sedan lowered as much as possible with smoked out everything thing
Matthew Martin
i get you stance is really an amalgamation of many many different styles so it can be a bit of a mess and theme lacking, i do much prefer cars that aim for a specific style.
Brandon Stewart
This is my jam.
Josiah Fisher
>Exhaust coming out the window Not the most elaborate set up I've seen but I like it.
I'd almost pay to see that.
William Cruz
Those clean as fuck Nissans are my dream cars, man. Shame I'll never own one in Argentina, especially in mint conditions. They look so good.
Parker Jones
what is the most elaborate youve seen? id pay to see that too lol
same man
has anyone here seen tyler fialkos bosozoku cressida build? hes doing it super legit, i cant wait to see it finished.
Kayden Parker
Probably the one on top here, which oddly also has though the window.
Asher Diaz
thats pretty cool although after looking at this one i took a look at the other one and it looks like it has the same set up of in one side and out the other
Camden Smith
OP here. sorry for being absent will update when I can. I don't mean to be rude or correct you, but kaido racers refers to all these cars. zokusha is kind of incorrectly used. it's sort of like a random slang word that means gang car.
all the cars that people refer to as zokusha, gurachan, bosozoku are kaido racers.
that being said, bosozoku are the bikes you see. usually 400cc four cylinder bikes.
regarding pic: this was the final stage of the zlay gx71
John Lewis
bucchigiri yuusen duori (BYD) gx71
this is another hokkaido nonsuri car. these cars tend to have the crazy intricate livery designs. these cars are called "doutou" style, which refers to the formula of long nose, aftermarket side skirts, and shaved rear end.
this style is popular in hokkaido but originates from hiroshima iirc. kaido racers weren't very popular in hokkaido until one moved there from hiroshima, that's why most are this style
Jason Brown
cool note about the Team Zlay 71, the tail light is actually a tachometer that works
there was also a z10 soarer that had a working slot machine as tail lights, will find some pictures.
Jacob Myers
What is the point of this thread again? Is it documentation or do people actually think these abominations look good?
My eyes need to be gouged out.
Owen Jones
thanks for clarifying op so are people incorrect when they call cars like bosozoku? is it exclusively for the bikes?
also shal we throw some boso bikes in here i love them too
Gavin Thomas
leave you uncultured boomer faggot go back to your chevy suv thread
Gavin Morris
im digging through my backgrounds folder of over 4000 images trying to find my kaido racers right now i have some nice ones but its taking a while to find them all
Owen Powell
i wish Veeky Forums let you post mutiple images
Thomas Cox
perfect example of a doutou style kaido racer. BYD car on focus racing at hokkaido nonsuri, owned by mizuguchi
Hunter Jackson
i loved mcms crassida they built in japan 4chans doing that thing where it makes you wait to post and gives you never ending captchas grrr
Carson Russell
maybe i should make an imgur although with my internet that may take a while
beauty saved for my collection
Lincoln Cooper
yeah, bosozoku only refers to the bikes. I would post those too but I actually don't have many photos of them haha. I love kaido racers, bosozoku tend to occupy the same space at meets and stuff but I haven't really taken many pictures of them
this car is one of my friends and I's favorites. z10 owned by endo ryo. good example of fukuoka (city in kyushu) style kaido racer. wide longchamp xr4, bright primary colors, widened metal fender in the rear. this car runs "no sus" which means no springs. this is kind of an older style back in the 80s when everything was more homebrew. endo is a very nice guy, his newest build is a gx61 with a very long long nose painted orange
Dylan Sanchez
I have some pictures of that.
Gavin Ortiz
They're not mine got them off of FB eons ago.

Brayden Sullivan
yeah that's it! very cool car. thank you everyone who is enjoying this and posting. I wasn't sure what to expect but glad there are people here who like these cars.
gold rush gx71 on star sharks. gold rush usually puts their own twist on their cars, putting their own little details like gold nardi steering wheels, hiro mask headlight/grill covers
Camden Gonzalez
i did have a bunch but i cant find them exept for this one
pachinko tail light, thats cool as fuck the ridiculous creativity on these cars is my favorite
ive finished scrolling through my 4000 images and i have some nice carfus to post coming up
Dylan Johnson
Yeah this has been a cool thread. Honestly allot of the threads about Japanese cars and pics don't have enough of this stuff. You live in Japan user or just have a bunch of pictures saved up?
Dylan Wilson
yeah this is a fun thread you have nice taste op all these cars etting posted are being added to my collection
Brody Baker

i love the crazy exhausts i really want to do vertical pipes on a car and maybe have a big heart shaped one i can attach on for shows
Kevin Wilson

Gavin Davis
just don't let it out in the rain lol
Austin Sanders

Ryan Kelly
this thread is my dream
holy fuck
Christian Bell
Usually not a fan of G nose fronts of 2+2 but damn...the both together look good.
Cooper Watson
i assume they have some kind of drain at the bottom or atleast thats what im going to do, im also going to put a mesh guard in the top so no cunts put stones down my exhaust for a laugh
yeah same, but they really work with kaido cars
idk if this counts but hey
Jeremiah Long

Alexander Edwards
fucking hell that looks good
Logan Fisher
i love the paintjobs they do
Asher Reed
if only bosozoku / kaido meets existed in britbong :(
Zachary Hernandez
...
Xavier Gonzalez
love these.
thanks OP.
i love how they enhance the natural curves/points of the cars, looks so good.
Easton Richardson
im not sure if op is here rn glad you like tho
John Bennett

Nathan Fisher
coming up are some pics from an amazing artist who likes to draw kaidos
Evan Murphy
>tfw my bf hates small wheels and i cant show kaido cars to him :(
Daniel Nelson
tfw his favourite car is a fairlady 240z and he refuses to kaido it, he wants big wheels like a stance boi
:(
Mason Wilson
is he black? he sounds black
Ethan Gonzalez
ok now for some pics from the amazing artist i mentioned, ozizo ozizo.tumblr.com
hes white but he listens to allot of nigger music and likes allot of nigger stuff, desu i wish he was black so it would be more justified, and he might atleast have a big dick then
Jose Butler
have a look at ozizos tumblr if you want to see more of his art i can only be bothered to post a few
Cameron Morris

Adrian Price
i wish i could make a kaido racer one day but they look like so much effort, id love to do one similer to tyler fialkos but hes been spending almost a year bondoing and sanding.
crazy respect o the people who make these things
Jayden Perry

Robert Jackson

Cooper Edwards
is thred ded?
Camden Miller
It's nowhere near actual kaido racer stuff but I'm not gonna lie, I definitely took inspiration from kaido racers when trying to figure out what wheels I wanted to get for my Miata. Small old Japanese wheels are much cooler than your textbook XXRs or other cheap stuff
Christian Flores
im gonna stop posting soon this thrtead was cosy i dont want it to die yet
James Diaz
kei trucks are cool
not quite to my taste but still pretty cool you need stretched tires and a bit more low
Nicholas Hill
alright im done for the night il stay in the thread till it 404s
are you still here op?
Ian Green
Roads are utterly fugged here in Detroit. Any more low is a death sentence
Jonathan Hughes
Someone in my area built an excellent Kaido style Cressida. Probably one of the best outside of Japan
Parker Watson
are you gay enough to get bags? >living near niggers i hape you have locking nuts or those wheels are getting stolen
very very nice!
Aaron Price
I live in a decent area. Besides, there's not much market for stolen 14x7 inch wheels. Not many cars actually look decent on those wheels anymore.
Parker Lewis
Stop posting like you know what you're talking about. Faggot. You're parroting crap off tumblr, park's blog, and instagram. You own NO gookshit. You don't own any japanese weab parts. You tell yourself "i could score something off yahoo japan auctions but i cant understand anything. I guess ill browse tumblr and tradecarview again". Poser bitch. Pick up a wrench and embarrass yourself in front of us. You fucking fags. I can spot you all a mile away. Stealing pics, reposting. Pretend to know shit when you don't. Fuck off bitch. There's enough of you kids trying to shit our scene.
