Fukuoka Custom Car Show 2010
Feb 21st
Stopped by the Fukuoka Custom Car Show yesterday and snapped a few pictures. The show was much smaller and less “flashy” then car shows in the past. I guess the economic conditions are really bad in the custom car industry. After talking to the “Pako D” from Uras, I found out that Sunday had a much larger crowd than Saturday. The show had drift cars, VIP cars, old school cars, vans, exotic cars, remote control cars, and motorcycles. Another sign of the economic conditions was the lack of “Booth Babes”! There were very few at the show.

This picture was taken outside of URAS in Fukuoka, Japan. Uras is a car shop that specializes in Drifting and is owned and operated by Nomura Ken, also known as NOMUKEN. NOMUKEN is a professional drifter that drives in the Japanese D1 Series and has drifted all over the world from Europe to the United States.
The next picture is ET and Nagai-san the manager of URAS.

Our friends over at URAS turned a usual “Jiisan” (old mans car) car into a VIP Drift Car. It took them a couple months to finish it and the biggest problem they had was the wiring. Unlike a lot of American turners that just scrap the wiring and run a stand alone computer system to run the basics (ie. Engine and guages). Most Japanese sports car/drifters want their performance and they air conditioner!! I am with them on this one especially when the temperature hits 35 degrees C (over 100 degrees F). You never know what car URAS is going to tune, but they are always fast and interesting.
