I always notice that many roll-cages in Japan are very minimal and I still see a lot of people mounting their harnesses down to rear seat belt points instead of to a harness bar. I'm interested if this is a cultural thing or if safety requirements in Japan are just extremely minimal?
Safety requirements have been historically much different in Japan - you'll still see fuel cells mounted in passenger seats with no fire protection. However, over the past few years, an emphasis on safety has been increasing and Attack now requires HANS devices for cars running under certain times. I will say, despite the lack of regulation, you see far less incidents in Japanese time attack than any other country. I feel there is more personal responsibility here and drivers that respect their limits.
I wonder why Nakajima-san stopped making the Bunzou wide front fenders for the S2000? I can’t remember the last time I saw C-West aero on a Civic or an Integra!😳
That EK is the cleanest track car I've ever seen. Even the flat floor/diffuser pannel is inmaculate. Completely insane.
the owner says he cleans the entire car after every event, including the underside and suspensions components
The quality of that Civic build is like a work of art; it's pristine.
Wow that s2000 is cool love it keep up the good content brother👌
S2K sounds incredible cant be beat

Do you know how they’re addressing the oil pressure issue on the GR86?
I'm unaware of one
Where's your car? Very clean EK that was immaculate.
my car is collecting dust parked inside the car port at my apartment
Thanks
What catch can is the white s2k using?
Looks like a K1 Laboratory part
