So there is a background story why I post my Element’s Street Car Nationals prep.
“Cool second cars owned by local drift heroes” Not only show cars but also cool daily can go on Street car nationals(SCN). Actually, you can see more stories, life styles, and cultures from daily cars. That’s what SCN about! so why don’t we go on SCN with second cars and have a block party? This year’s SCN is “Second car nationals for us.
First of many is going to be Yassan’s Toyota Tacoma. Yassan is a founder and Chairman of Lowbrain. His light gray island taste Tacoma is very opposite from his Super aggressive red Levin. It reminds me of his previous second car Honda Domani(EL in north america) face civic AKA Dovic color.
*Dovic also will be at SCN with new owner.
The reason why Takuya pic this Tacoma is because of the movie “back to the future”’s Black Toyota pickup. It has been his favorite truck since he was a child. However, it’s hard to find one which in a good condition he can drive it everyday since they are getting old. So he picked a newer model of it.
At first he was looking for Black Zenki 5speed 2wd. But ended up getting not black or 2wd or even 5Speed Tacoma. He’s been driving it for 4 years now.
When he got the car he was going to make it prerunner style. But he chanced it to Island style. He put super wide American eagle instead of Method race wheels. Bed has been changed 3 times. First, it had tonneau cover, and then bed rack, and now it’s shell cover.
For SCN2018, he made muffler comes from the side. Of cause its not only a daily, when he brings it to off road, he drives it aggressive as he drifts on track with his Levin. So if you come to SCN2018 stop by and see his cool daily car.
