I've seen a few SAs in bosozoku style.

 

Thats style is wack.

Nothing like adding another 10 pounds of weight 3 feet higher than your car.

 

Yo that's 10lbs over the rear tires. That car must grip like a hooker on crack! Probalee has a welded diff to! Siiiick

 

What's so "old school" about that?

 

It's not actually an "old school" style. It's more like an extreme, stand out style called Bosozoku style, originated as most are, in Japan. You see it a lot on sedans. Flashy graphics, wheels that stick out 5 inches, and those gnarly pipes sitting 2 feet over the roofline. I personally can't stand it. I like the understated look more.

 

Agreed, its a strange style that i'll never understand... I like the clean look personally...

 

I'd seen "Bozo" stuff before, but yeah, my point was, it's not "old school;" it's a pretty recent style.

And I don't see the appeal, either.

 

yeah this style is not "old skool" I've only seen one "bozo" style FB that looked good. If I ever find that picture I'll post it up.

 

That looks like Takeyari Yamaji's old sa22c...

 

I don't know guys.... I would put those on (once) and turn the idle mix up reallllllllll high

 

I say add a flame thrower kit to it

 

I dont see why some of you are flipping out if its" old school" or not.
Its seems like the pic is from the early 80's to me. Doesnt really matter anyways. I just thought it was a cool pic, My car is far from this style. and for all of you that dont like it...thanks for taking the time for your useless comments

 

I wasted 60 seconds reading this thread and want that time back!

 

Found the video. It is Takeyari's old SA. IIRC this is what he drove in the early to mid 80's. He started out as a RX-7 enthusiast, then became a professional driver for Mazda in the 90's, and I think he now drives for toyota, or at least he used to. I think he used to drive the GT500 Supra for Toyota in the late 90's... not quite sure...

 

Trust me the idiots were doing it back in the early 80's when I first got to okinawa, they were collectively called Bozo zoku which at the time denoted a hooligan on wheels..not a good designation to get back then. now days its enjoying a resurgance as being old school japan amongst some of the 20_25 y/o crowd, plus a few 40+ers that are having midlife crisis

when I see one of the guys my age step out of one i LMAO its so funny its like a religious experience. I laugh so hard i almost pass out from lack of O2 now if I could just find a way to play pocket pool at the (what am i saying david carradine aybody?)

kenn

 

^^ good info, funny the 2 years I was in Sasebo I never saw one, then again I never say any rx-7's there either.

 

I cant stand that style, its way to gaudy for me. I used to think the ricer kids around here were bad... pretty tolerable after seeing what the bosozoku crow can accomplish.

 

at least ricers think they know about performance...these bosoz dont even try
