At Wekfest Japan 2018 differently not flashiest car but gave a huge impression to many builder there. It was like Ishikawa Body’s reply to Autech A25.
Simple smart one off fender are made by metal, not FRP.
Few months after Wekfest, I was invited to Summer BBQ Party at Ishikawa Body. They located in Mikkabi Shizuoka where known for Orange farm and Lake Hamana resort area. I noticed last time I came, this place is good for winding drive.
This time they did 180SX road test. But according to Masaru-san, it needs lots of work to make it his ideal 180SX. Actually this car was for his wife taking their daughter to ride. Since its height set very low it bounces lots. He could just put air suspension, but he doesn’t like the way it looks when it runs with high height, He wants to keep the coilovers.
In the end you Masaru’s icon Mark-2 van. He put police car livery in 2017, and in 2018 it was a moving storage. He already have complete image of 2019 in his head. And I can not wait to see it done.
“もし日産が2018年に180SXを発売したらこう造る”
Wekfest Japan 2018で派手さを抑えたシンプルな造形ながらも、各業界から絶賛する声が集中したIshikawa Bodyの180SX。まるでAutech A25に対するIshikawa Bodyの回答ともいえる存在だ。
