I really like that Maro. The modification to the front end is very nice and still stock looking.
The Japanese have a passion for cars just as much as Americans do, they just do things slightly different. The place where that Camaro was worked on is a hot spot for many of the American imports over there.

Very nice job on that car. the fabrication of that roll cage is incredible. I can only wonder what the car looked like before all that work, look at all of the patches on the inside.

Damn, another sweet ride out of the far east! I need to move over there and get a job b/c nearly every street car over there is a damn show car as well. Gotta be 25K+ at the very least into every car they put together. All of the street racers and now the popularity of these drifting cars, these cars are some sweet JDM Hotrods, our Asian counter parts. Sick street cars. I wish i had cash to blow! Oh yeah, nice color by the way. lol

American Import??? Could you imagine being called an import car driver? Well as long as it was a sweet Camaro I would love driving an "IMPORT" car!

notice all the carbon fiber behind the gague cluster, the im assuming 6 speed with the awesome looking shifter, gauges galore, totally original mounting the ignition box inside the car, thing is totally off the hook pardon the expression, id kill to have a car like that, yeah you heard me right KILL.

yes very nice. for some reason i just fell in love with the dash. i dont know why but it strucks me pretty hard.
that car looks awesome, i would like to have seen carpet but it looks like the car is raced so who needs carpet. That car really looks good, and the 5 in spoiler awesome. I like what they did with the nose, painted it black to look like thye opened it up . Very nice work .

Now that I take a glance at the pictures again, I can actually see where you're coming from with the shifter comment, 25THRSS.
Thanks for corrupting my mind.

Very nice pics of some awesome chassis work. Actually, those are the closest pics I've ever seen to what I'm in the middle of doing to my 89 RS drifting project right now. The car is completely gutted and I'm welding the seams before the rollcage gets welded in. Well at least thats what I was doing until the welder we have broke (holding us back!). I can really appreciate the time put into that car because I know how much of a PITA it is to do chassis strengthening at that level. Thats probably the most extreme example I've ever seen of chassis strengthening a 3rd gen. Of course their finished product looks alot better than mine probably will and theirs was probably finished alot faster than mine, but thats because I'm still a newbie. Makes me jealous actually.
But to answer your question, yes the Japanese people love the color orange. They like things that stick out from the norm. Since orange paintjobs are not normal, they love them! Its a culture thing. We've had some professional drifters come to Hawaii for drifting events and so far 4 of the 6 cars have been orange (well one was blue the first time, and orange the second time). Any of them who have seen my 91 Z (SOM) love the color. Japanese people definately have style. Its a shame that the "imports" you see in the USA do such a bad job of emulating their style. It makes the Japanese look bad! Now that drifting is replacing the street racing fad (sad to say but it is), expect to see alot more Nissans and Toyotas replacing all those Hondas. And since people in the USA do such a bad job emulating the Japan styles, I wouldnt be supprised if the Nissan 240 replaces the Honda Civic as the most r|ced out car on the streets.
Sucks

Sucks I used Altavista Babblefish language translator to translate the website from Japanese to English. The translations are not perfect, but sometimes you can understand what they are saying (hehe!). I thought this would be a good idea so you guys can see how serious Japanese people are about building race cars. Here is what Babblefish gave me. I'll add Comments to the first few sections (look for the **) to try and help you guys make sense of this. But after that you're on your own.
Ultimate third generation production report
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We would like to make the ultimate handling machine ' with the 3rdcCamaro. ' Solution temporary speaking easily, car ' this which ' also the general road can run, to also circuit travelling and race/lace can participate it is the order which this time we receives. At the beginning pyro upper and you thought also the use of coil over suspension, but being the insecure element such as hard insufficiency of the body suspension installation part and reinforcement of the installation part to have, this time it stopped. While considering, the actual use character of the car, you discuss with the owner and the conclusion which we puts out reinforces the monocoque body which thoroughly is the base ' making use of race/lace car similar technique, ' is! The car where the manufacturer produces general road travelling with the most priority as for changing to the machine just because private craving of the owner is satisfied, doing was very and it was the project which is. It is the car which is produced from zero, but this time it is the report which is the chassis production center.
**We would like to make the ultimate handling 3rd gen Camaro. This car will be built for circuit track racing as well as general street driving. At first, we wanted to use coil over suspension, but because of the way the chassis is designed (not reinforced) we decided against it. Because this car will be roadraced, we are using race car techniques to reinforce the car. The car was originally built for general street use, but because of the wishes of the owner, this will become a race car. This car will be built from the ground up.**

When (the photograph is clicked, expanding, it can see)
The base and the car travelling 40,000 mile, without accident history are the 91RS. With the latest project being the E/G or the mission or the interior there is no necessity, it seriously considered just the chassis.
**The donor car is a 1991 Camaro RS with 40,000 miles. No crash history, but just the bare chassis**
First it is the caulking peeling off of the body. Being to be the preliminary arrangements in order to do the spot increasing in the monocoque it does, but it is the job where time is required in any case.
**First we must remove the interior chassis glue and materials (caulk? lol). This is needed in order to weld the seams of the car. This job takes alot of time**
When caulking is removed cleanly, the spot increasing is done on all monocoque panel composition planes. When welding when impurity such as refuse of the silicon enters, because strength of welding falls, in order to increase absolute strength, it is indispensable job.
**The interior chassis glue and material must all be removed or it will affect the welding process**
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Now they will talk about how the mods they do strengthen the chassis. You're on your own now! lol!!**
After it is the spot increasing, more and more it is production of the roll cage. First using the electrode, imitating,,
It keeps bending the waterweed Lee hardness tube with the manually operated hydraulic vendor. The main hoop being to like to pass through the last line inside the body, is the work very of using the nerve.
Bend the pipe which is ended is connected to the body. The fact that it makes parallel exactly inside the body is ideal, but it produces the side part somewhat than inside the body in the small awakening and uses the port bar and and the like it welds when tension has caught. So, from you can obtain strength with doing.
The peripheral part of the pipe it is possible to increase the connecting area in the peripheral part of the plus, box.
The griddle which you use special ones whose tensile strength is strong rapidly are used.
Welding the panel which is quarried out from the griddle, it makes the pipe and the body unify. The hole which it makes tapered condition be dented (burring) those for lightening and strength guaranty. It meaning that the corrugated sheet broken-out section strength is higher than the plate, it does this kind of processing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When reinforcement of the body completes, before the rust comes out, it enters into paint job. Very the welding part and the body last roll cage rear which are easy to rust, being good, lifting, the paint etc. of the under floor section, considerably they are contents of the painter crying.
Foot rest and knee rest, as for the floor board one off ones which are quarried out from the aluminum plate. These are the indispensable part in order to do the input where the driver is correct in the car. With the project the latest way, the combination of the sheet metal house influences the SI rising largely. As for taking charge Fujioka of the ƒ{ƒfƒBƒVƒ‡ƒbƒvƒxƒ‹ƒfƒBƒA. Itself it is the freak who owns the 67' ƒJƒ}ƒ?. The work where feeling enters highest was done.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This time it meaning that chassis production is main you exclude details, but the E/G is 383 straw cars of the full roller. Seriously considering transient quality than peak power, to unite.

This time we conveyed chassis production to main, but how was?
You think whether it is not to be finished in one unit which answers to the expectation of the owner

Damn, I love that front look with the front lower ground effect like that. Thats a great job cause you can see how it was shaped to make it look stock and flow together and not just hacked out. Id love to try that with a spare lower ground effect if I had one. MORE PICS NOW!!!!:lala: :hail:
They didnt reshape the front gfx they just painted that part black. I cant stop looking at that car tho i love it i wish i could contact them some how and get more info on it. Oh my i bet that car handles awsome those guys r awsome :hail: :hail: :hail:

Perhaps it does have sub-frame connectores. That car is awsome, I remember someone else posting a link to a japanese site where they had a few other thirdgens fixed up very nicely. Hey isn't the LS1 vert from thirdgenresources also seam welded when it was put up on the rotisserie. I love both those cars they're so well built.
