At the end of November I made my way to Kyushu to visit the new Tomiyoshi Racing location, and to photograph Miyashita’s FD for the upcoming book. This is a car that I’ve been trying to arrange to photograph for years now, but each instance ended up not working out for a variety of reasons. When the opportunity arose last month, I had to jump on it. Check out the new shop (a former car dealership), a few of the customer projects, and a walk around of Mi’s RX7.
When we arrived, the brothers were finishing the final touches on their customers K20 Lotus; a new engine, paddle shifted sequential trans, and Motec ECU were some of the major changes for this season. Shimada’s EVO was also present, having just had the engine overhauled.
For more on Miyashita’s FD, please look forward to the release of Volume 3 of 80R in the coming week or two. Information on 80R Volume 1-3 preorder can be found on 80R.co and the main site in the coming week – please check often for updates.
