Heavy Vibes

Nob is more known for his Schassis, but he also had a badass Aristo in the early 2000's. Back then, you really only saw these as VIP cars or highway racers. So it was pretty cool to see one built for drifting, especially at this level.

The year is 2004, and 15 year old me pops in JDM Insider 2 for the 1st time. One car immediately catches my eyes, the Night Walkers Verossa driven by Tomokazu Hirota. I loved how wild the car looked and how crazy Hirota drove it & I knew I had to have one. Flash forward 19 years later, and I spotted this beautiful Pearl Blue Metallic JZX110 Verossa from FAC (Freee's Auto Customes), and I HAD to have it. Similar to my old S2000, I had no idea this was an OEM color. I then learned that only 19 were ever made!!! With only 1200 turbos produced and 350 5sp, this is a gem!

Yubo's Cresta is one of my favorites. It used a non vvti 1jz and a turbo off of a truck. The car evolved over the years and had a few different looks. Yubo was one of my heroes when I was a teenager & still is. Being able to meet him in a few days is very exciting! Forever Night Walkers!!!

The Night Walkers are legendary in the world of sedan drifting. Founded in 1988, the team consisted of nine members originally and was called the Nine Walkers. When the team no longer had nine members, they changed the name. Most of the members started off with A31 Cefiro's or C33 Laurel's before making the switch to the JZX platform that they are best known for. There were a few members that had other cars like Takashi Ishikawa that drove a S13 Silvia, though.

Being a Night Walkers fan, I've always wanted a Verossa. Seeing this car in person was truly impressive. The paint exceeded my expectations. I never knew this was an OEM color until I saw this car on Freee's Auto Customes & I had to have it. I thoroughly inspected the car inside and out, and everything was flawless. Thank you, Hikaru and Jeremy, for helping me obtain my dream car! I have big plans for this X110!

Old Rays Engineering ads from 2000-2006. I think I had all of these in school binders or hung on my wall. You can see some legendary tuners cars like the Esprit RB26 Z33 & the Cyber Evo.
