Karuizawa Roadster Meeting 2014 (JoyFast & RS Factory Stage)

Here’s another blog post for our annual coverage of Karuizawa Roadster Meeting. This time, I’m posting from Republican Republic, so I’m not sure if everything will appear correctly, but I’m doing my best. First shop we’re showing is JoyFast which is very involved into racing and creates some very nice Roadster-specific parts. Second shop is RS Factory Stage who happen to develop many interesting parts for all NA, NB and NC Roadsters and recently developped a NB Rear Lip in collaboration with REV9 Autosport 🙂

JoyFast

It also has a very nice Jet Stream (DHR) Front Bumper Air Duct that allows air to go directly into the engine bay so it stays cooler when going at high speed.

You can also see their newly released Oil Catch Tank made especially for the Roadster.

RS Factory Stage

RS Factory Stage came with their nice NC1 that is running their NC1 to NC3 conversion kit with some cool vinyl on the front bumper and doors. It also has some ducts on the hood which does not seem to be released yet as their products. Can’t wait to see what product they will come with next.

 

Karuizawa Roadster Meeting 2014 (NOPRO & Jet’s)

To continue our Karuizawa’s 2014 Roadster Meeting coverage, we’ll show you 2 companies that have awesome race cars. NOPRO has developped some awesome widebody NA, NB and NC. They are showing their yellow shop car which belongs to Mr. Nogami’s son. As for Jet’s, they came with a NB that’s equipped with Jet Stream GT200 Widebody Kit and a NC that runs their own aero parts!

NOPRO

Jet’s

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAHere’s Jet’s (Integral Kobe) NC3 featuring their very new aero. This front lip is made of carbon fiber and really follows the lines of the vehicle.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThey recently introduced us to their very aggressive fenders and fins that they just released for NC3.

Karuizawa Roadster Meeting 2014 (RS Products & Garage 1001)

This post is about some very popular and legendary tuners. RS Products has made some of the nicest interior touch you can get right now and Garage Hundred-One built probably the craziest NA race car ever made pushing over 250whp on naturally aspirated engine!

RS Products

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERACar is rocking beautiful polished RS Watanabe wheels, a nice Barchetta front bumper and Runabout mirrors! It has full Nakamae interior as well as full RS Products interior, that’s for sure.

Garage Hundred-One

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThey also brought their limited edition T-Shirts. If anyone’s interested in these, we can get them for around $45 a piece.

 

 

Karuizawa Roadster Meeting 2014 (Corn’s & Nielex)

Now here comes 2 shops I really enjoy : Car Make Corn’s & Nielex !

Car Make Corn’s:
This shop has a real funny name. Don’t ask why it’s named that way, we can’t tell. However, the owner does know what “corn” means as we saw some at its shop on the wall. We’ll do a full post about our visit at its shop later…

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA
T
his year, they brought their new shop car. It’s featuring their latest parts as well as their super light CMC-01 wheels! Car is super clean.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAClose-up of the CMC-01 wheels!

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThey also had their new Dolphin Chips that comes in sets of 5 and that you can put anywhere on your car.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAAnd since last year, they also offer their original shift knob. It’ll be available soon at REV9.

Nielex:
The craftsmanship of all of their piece is always incredible. They recently focused a lot on NC parts, but are seeing demand for NA so they always look for new parts to create!

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThis car is actually not their shop car, but a customer’s car. It’s pretty awesome looking with the new Work Equip wheels. Car’s purpose is drifting 🙂

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERACar was featuring their Front Strut Bar as well as their newly released master cylinder brake stopper (which we might add to the web store soon).

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThey also came with the NC shop car that I had the chance to drive last year. This thing handles like it’s on rails. They did custom chassis modification on it and I really felt is was a huge improvement. This is the kind of modification you need to try and then want to do it on your car.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThe NC shop car was also rocking their Oval Chrome Shift Knob!

 

 

 

 

Karuizawa Roadster Meeting 2014 (S2 Racing & Autoexe)

Heya,

To continue our feature about 2014’s Karuizawa Meeting, we’ll show you the vehicles from S2 Racing and Autoexe.

S2 Racing:

To introduce S2 Racing, they are relatively new to the Roadster scene. They are mostly known for their front end conversion that’s between a Pit Crew & Shelby Cobra. KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThis year, they changed the color of their shop car. I believe it’s a work in progress, but it shows nicely how the lines of their conversion are.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAIt also has a very unique rear end running their original rear bumper as well as their Tail Lights!

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThey also have a NC1 demo car with a custom front bumper (we can see they integrated NA front lip and modified the front opening).

Autoexe:

Autoexe is around since many years. In Japan, it’s a official Mazda dealership option catalogue (you can buy a brand new car equipped with Autoexe parts).

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThey came with their original NB2 shop car. This car has been around since the vehicle was released in 2001. It’s still in very nice condition and showing how clean their front bumper lines are.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

 

It’s also running their front strut bar & carbon fiber intake.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThey also brought their NC2 shop car. It’s a very clean vehicle and I gotta love the red engine accents with the dark grey color, looks very nice.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThis one is also equipped with their original front strut bar as well as intake system.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThey also showed their nice products. We can see the NC D-Shape steering wheel, their Original Shift Knobs and some suspension components!

 

 

 

 

 

Karuizawa Roadster Meeting 2014 (Garage Vary)

Hey everyone,

REV9 Autosport had the chance to visit Karuizawa meeting for a second year in a row! As with every year, there are TONS of awesome cars on display and we’d like to show you some of the best we saw. The blog posts will probably be splitted in many parts as we took SO many pictures.

We’ll add many posts in the next days showing different manufacturers and their newest parts!

Garage Vary:

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA
D-Dream NB Race Car. Rocking full Garage Vary aero & many one-off parts. This car won 2013 Joytai Race!

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERANew Fastback Hardtop that will be released soon. It is paired with Garage Vary Hardtop Turbulator!

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA
Custom fender flares and extensions make this car very nice looking. The GT wing really suits it, too!

While the biggest attraction was the D-Dream NB, Garage Vary also showed its NC3 shop car!

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA
The aero shown on this car is very aggressive, but the main idea behind the design is to be totally functional. It features many vents that goes to the brakes or engine bay as well as big radiator opening + canards!

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAThey also released a very nice carbon fiber (or FRP) side step that suits the lines of the NC3 very well.

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERAAs for the rear-end, it is very, very, very (did I say very?) aggressive! Featuring carbon fiber GT wing, rear diffusers and ducktail spoiler + their original fastback hardtop!
