Checked out the annual Nisei week festival in Little Tokyo on Saturday – this place brings back so many memories. For those of us pre “Fast and Furious” folk, Nisei was the original carshow – years before Import Showoff / HIN / DUB, back when SSR made good wheels, when Racing Hart (not the DAZZ BS) and HKS were legit and Mugen was king (still is). I still remember the first gen Integs (ZC motor for you engine freaks), CRX’s, 510’s and Celicas rolling down San Pedro. The Nisei Cruise t-shirts and the good food. Ken and the boyz at Import Showoff do a great job of bringing back this feel, quality cars and a good setup. It’s great to see crews like Phaze 2 and the Chronicles guys pushing the limit changing up the style, one day I’m sure they’ll look back at the present and think what I think, good times indeed. For those of you that REALLY know me, you’ll know what the pic is all about.
