Bad day for Tsuchiya

There aren’t  many of Keiichi Tsuchiya’s crash videos, but drifting with HKS Silvia S15 which is designed for maximum grip, can go wrong any time.

Drifting Lessons with Keiichi Tsuchiya

If you just bought your first RWD car and you want to do it in Keiichi -Drift King- Tsuchiya style, this video is just made for you. The Drift Bible by Best Motoring. It's an old video but still top drifting tutorial of them all.

Tsuchiya shows you 6 drifting techniques, for beginners or advanced drifters.
-Hand brakes
-Shift Lock
-Power Over
-Braking
-Feint
-Accelerator Off

Probably top sold drifting tutorial video of all time. It's not a surprise at all, it's from the man who started it all, one and only Keiichi Tsuchiya. This 2 videos aren't the whole package, but it's a start!




 

NA vs Turbo cars battle : Best Motoring

2.0 Liter super-light NA machines vs. heavyweight turbo beasts.
Keiichi Tsuchiya - Amuse S2000
Manabu Orido - Technopro Spirit MR2
Nobuteru Taniguchi - Champ S14 Silvia
Shunei Kawasaki - Keioffice S15

Spoon Sports NSX-R

Spoon Sports NSX-R with HKS GT3087 Pro Turbo. Boosted Queen of NA cars... like selling a soul to devil. Driver Keiichi Tsuchiya can handle any beast on the track.

Comptech Honda NSX @ Willow Springs

Hot Version International 2007
NSX tuned by US Comptech. US tuners are known for their use of superchargers, unlike NA tuning that is mainstream in Japan.
Comptech specifications:
engine swap: Honda C32B (290hp in stock condition)
Comptech mods: Custom Supercharger, 3.0L head, headers, exhaust, Pro Shock suspension, brake kit and 4.23 final drive in 6-speed transmission.
Out of 6 US tuners, Comptech NSX got maximum points from drivers Tsuchiya and Orido although lap time 1:05:00 wasn't the best. But respect to Comptech guys, perfect setup of suspension on mid-engine car is the hardest.

Spoon Sports Civic EF9

Tatsuru Ichishima, owner of Spoon Sports brought their old Honda Civic EF9 to Best Motoring test. Drivers Tsuchiya and Hattori were skeptical about ages of that EF9, but bottom line of test was that performance of Spoon EF9 is impressive, especially handling and balance. In a fact, time lap of Civic was close to Civic Type R lap time. Many old cars can surprise by their performance and power, as long as they are properly tuned.

Amuse S2300 track test by Keiichi Tsuchiya

Amuse company continues building an ultimate S2000 for the track. This is Amuse S2300 GT1 car. Amuse increased bore and stroke on original F20C engine, that's why it's an S2300. It produces 289 horsepower. Track test by Keiichi Tsuchiya, the Drift King.

In a video we see Hideki Tanabe, founder of Powerhouse Amuse. Tanabe-san died on 20th of September 2008 after a hard battle with health. Memory will live on forever in his cars, he will forever be an icon, legend of JDM tuning scene. Rest in peace.

Keiichi Tsuchiya drifting with a police car

Hot Version International vol 21
Keiichi Tsuchiya giving police officers some driving lessons, including drifting with a police car. I'd love to see police chasing bad guys on road and using the drift skills. It would be a real police vs bad guys touge race:)

J's Racing S2000 on the touge

How does the 1st generation of J's Racing Honda S2000 handle on the touge? It's designed to be a daily driver car with stereo and navigation system. Keiichi Tsuchiya is really impressed with cornering abilities of J's s2k. When he's suspiciously quiet while driving any car, that only means he really enjoys the drive. Taniguchi and Orido are also impressed with J's s2k, is it better than Amuse S2k?
J's Racing Honda S2000 specifications:
Engine - F20C moded by J's racing - 280 horsepowers
ECU - J's Racing
Headers - Mugen
Exhaust - J's Racing
Transmission - stock
LSD - Cusco RS
Final drive - 4.777
Dampers - J's Racing coilovers
Brakes - J's Racing CV with Grooved rotors
Bodykit - J's racing
Weight - 1240kg
Tires - Advan Neova 255/40 R17

MINE'S Nissan 370Z

Keiichi Tsuchiya testing JDM Mine's Nissan 370Z at Fuji Speedway track in December 2008, setting a time 2:04:610.

Toyota AE86 vs Honda EK9

One of legendary videos, battle between AE86 and EK9. As soon as Keiichi Tsuchiya in AE86 overtakes EK9, he starts drifting and making fun of opponent. EK9 has more power and with it advantage on straight line, but AE86 handles better in the corners. What's your opinion? Has EK9 wrong suspension setup for this track? Would the result be different if Tsuchiya would drive an EK9?

HKS Skyline GT-R R34

Keiichi Tsuchiya testing 650 hp HKS Skyline GT-R R34.
HKS Skyline R34 has variable valve timing control (VVT) on a turbo engine. VVT is installed for keeping the low rev torque and still keeping the maximum power outcome at high revs. Loss of low rev torque is often when stock turbine is replaced with bigger one. HKS GT-R also has HKS custom forged crank and pistons..
What about adjustable valve system in exhaust, which controls the exhaust noise! The car is oriented to be the ultimate street GT-R. In a video it runs on street tires and not the best setup for that track, I think that's why it's such a difference in best lap time between HKS (1:03:xx) and MINE'S (0:59:xx) Skyline GT-R.

RX7 FD3S Fujita EngineeringTouge Keiichi Tsuchiya

FD3S Fujita Engineering FEED RX7 is a 1260kg light touge monster with boosted rotary engine which produces 450hp... It's really a touge monster and who else but DK Keiichi Tsuchiya would handle it?
Here's a video of FEED RX7 on Touge driven by Tsuchiya

Top Setup EG6 K20 swap

Top Setup EG6: K20a engine swap from Honda DC5, n/a tuned with JDM parts... It produces 220hp and it's 910kg light. Drivers are Keiichi Tsuchiya and Manabu Orido, US touge by Hot Version. Could this US tuned EG6 be better than JDM Spoon?

Mine's Nissan R35 GT-R vs Spoon Honda NSX-R GT

Just some videos of new Nissan R35 tuned by MINE's in battle vs. Honda NSX-R tuned by Spoon, great video, great comparison of 2 very limited JDM tuned cars. Drivers are Daijiro Yoshihara (Mine's GT-R) and Tyler McQuarrie (Spoon NSX-R GT). Which one of those monsters would you prefer? I go for NSX-R :)

Amuse Supra vs Mine's Skyline BNR34

The new Toyota Supra project is also cancelled due to the financial crisis... it just sucks, it would be interesting to see battles of new Honda NSX, Toyota SUPRA and Nissan GT-R, looks like only GT-R is hitting our roads. I'm posting a video I just can't get tired of watching, although I've watched it 100 times. It's the battle of AMUSE SUPRA and MINE's Skyline GT-R 34. Drivers are Manabu Orido and the legendary drift king Keiichi Tsuchiya.
