Suzuki Cappuccino :) or other baby roadsters

Oh, I had a post in the chamber about exactly that! :D

So, Japan is pretty densely populated. Let's put it this way: one reason the Tokyo metro area couldn't do a huge and extremely weird cultural exchange where every citizen trades place with someone from Australia, Belgium or Slovenia, is there aren't enough Australians, Belgians and Slovenians combined to do that. So you can imagine it would be pretty advantageous to public life for people to drive small cars - hence the popularity of kei cars, a car class with huge tax benefits and tiny engine and dimensions limits. Those limits, positively minuscule when they were introduced to push bike makers to use their parts to make small cars, eventually increased to a 0.66L engine size and the dimensions below...

...and in the late 80s there was a "gentleman's agreement" whereby no one would make a kei car more powerful than 64hp, similar to the other gentleman's agreement whereby they agreed not to make cars with more than 276hp - which they cleverly addressed by equipping more powerful cars, like the Skyline GT-Rs, with unusual little devices called lies.

But now it's the 1990s -contrary to popular misconceptions- and Japanese businesses and customers have a problem: what the fuck do we do with all this money?

To truly convey the desperation with which cash was being thrown around like primate feces, Mazda created FIVE sub-brands (Amati, Autozam, ɛ̃fini, Xedos, and Eunos, brand under which they sold the Miata as Eunos Roadster) AND gave the SIXTH sub-brand M2 separate headquarters - these headquarters. In Tokyo.

M2 only ever made parts and some fringe prototypes, the most it produced were three Eunos Roadster-based limited versions - they cost twice as much as the original (and for good reason - one of them used leather deemed too expensive by the only other automaker to ever use it, Rolls Royce), but because economic bubble, they were so sought after they had to set up a lottery, Andrea was telling us, and as he got to the uber-limited production numbers (a combined 780), he explained that, since of course they were only sold in Japan, there were only five in the whole of Europe. He then raised his finger and, in one of the greatest flexes I have ever witnessed, pointed it around his huge, Miata-packed shed, counting "one, two, three, four, five".

S'yah, it turns out the world's biggest Miata collection is just owned by Some Guy in the middle of Italy, and if your kid ever gets dumped it is a wonderful place to take him to cheer him back up. Thanks, dad.

So clearly, this was a point in time where even people with no need nor wish nor space for a large second car, or a large car at all, could still be interested in a sportscar, thus spawning some briefly-lived but oh-so-brightly-burning kei sportscars, nicknamed ABC.

One of them being, indeed, the Suzuki Cappuccino.

Please remember, this car is positively lilliputian. It's 3.30m long. For the yankees in the audience, that's just 0.03 football fields. Here are some fun size comparisons.

The engine was front-mid and turbocharged...

...the roof was a fun puzzle that allowed you to have a T-Top coupe (with just the sides off), a targa (with the top part of the roof removed but the rear pillar of the roof still in place) or a spider (by folding the rear pillar and window down)...

...and it was NOT exclusive to Japan, with 12% of units being sold in the UK!

But since this was clearly asked by someone quite familiar with its generalities, some less-known quirks for the geeks:

It was the first kei car ever with double wishbones all around

The indicators changed between JDM and UK versions so if you've got the latter finding spares is 10 times harder

The hood release is in the glovebox and the fuel release is in the center console storage - the latter locks with a different key than the ignition uses, so if you hand just the latter to the valet you can keep them from siphoning your gas, but I'm yet to hear whether that also goes for the glovebox, so stay tuned for updates on whether you can also keep them from siphoning your washer fluid

Air gets to the engine (well, to the turbo) through the frame. Like, it gets into the frame, it travels inside the frame, and then gets out and is filtered. Now, you may ask yourself why they would do that.

While most cars had front disc brakes at the time, the less effective but cheaper drum brakes were usually used on the rear, which was fine since when a car brakes weight transfers to the front so the front wheels are the ones that get more grip and can thus brake harder anyway - so not only do you not need the rear wheels to have the same stopping power, you don't even want them to, because then the rear wheels would lock up before the front ones even got to their full braking potential. So when the Cappuccino got four wheel disc brakes, like every other car with four wheel disc brakes, it didn't put four discs of the same size all around. Unlike every other car with four wheel disc brakes, however, they put the bigger ones at the rear. A friend who owns one called the brakes "not amazing".

Then again, let's cut them some slack, it was the second kei car ever with four wheel disc brakes! Second, yes, because the Cappuccino was not the first kei-sized sportscar.

So, remember how with Ferrari, the last car to be signed off by its founder was a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive, manual, record-setting, no frills two-seater sportscar? Well, the Japanese being famous overachievers, that goes for Soichiro Honda's last two.

Supposedly, Honda decided that its F1 engines hadn't kicked Ferrari's ass enough, so they set out to build a car as approachable, reliable and daily-life-friendly as a Honda yet faster through both straights and corners than a Ferrari. Or a Lamborghini. Or a Porsche- you get the idea. Thus, the NSX, seen here next to it is its test driver, tuning consultant and enthusiastic owner Ayrton Senna, best known for driving the car on the left into three championship wins, a bunch of "Greatest Of All Time" debates, and a wall that killed him.

But if your second-to-last car is a two seat, mid-engined, rear wheel drive sportscar with Pininfarina design, a 40mm short-throw manual, and a redline past 8000RPM, what do you do for your last one? Easy! Another!

This little bowl of pint-sized cuteness is the Honda Beat, and yes, that interior is not just factory, but was the only pattern available. Still, if you think the interior is the most outlandish part of this car, you haven't heard it.

Again, this engine was outsized by two Coke cans and the car it's in is no bigger than the Cappuccino, and you already know how... ah, screw it, let's show you a size comparison anyway.

Some geek facts:

It was the first mid-engine monocoque (as in not body-on-frame, not un-shark-like, you pervs) spider ever made! There were some targas before, but never a full-on spider

The stereo was custom to fit in the super-narrow center console between the two asymmetrical cabin spaces so the cassette slot has the same cute little Beat logo as the "Open Air Motoring!" branded floormats!

Gathers celebrated its 20th anniversary with a new touchscreen radio for it that is now uber-rare and uber-expensive

It had two trunks, which is lovely, except that the rear one had the battery and optional CD changer conspiring against you and the front was literally inside the spare tire, so it's good that you could also get a rear rack!

The rear rims are bigger than the front!

With how much cooler this is than the Cappuccino (sorry, friend who owns one) it's quite the shame Suzuki decided not to go forward with the mid-engine layout their kei sportscar development started with. At least, Mazda sure thought as much, asking Suzuki to please keep working on that idea and make a mid-engined kei sportscar for them to sell under their brand for the youth, Autozam. And thus we have the ABC - C for Cappuccino, B for Beat...

...and A for AZ-1. Think of how cool life was in Japan back in the day that this was a car for the youth.

Fun facts:

IT HAS GULLWING FUCKING DOORS

The spare tire was mounted in the front compartment but crashing made it jam the steering wheel in your chest so they sent owners a little bag and asked them to please put that tire behind the seats

GULLWING FUCKING DOORS

Suzuki sold a few of them themselves as the Cara

G U L L W I N G D O O R S

Sadly, it joined the party (JapaneseEconomicBoomfest, that is) just when it was ending. Hell, the Beat was sold for six years ('91 through '96) and two thirds of Beats sold are 1991s. That's how hard recession hit Japan right when the AZ-1 came out, which indeed sold a fraction of the other two.

But fear not: after decades, Honda blew the dust off the kei sportscar idea in 2015 with the gloriously sexy S660.

It did cease production last year, but at least it left the Japanese used market a kei sportscar with the modern amenities we (and by we I mean you spoiled pussies) cannot do without, like steering wheel controls and *squints* HDMI.

Oh by the way, remember how I said I was going to post about the Cappuccino? Well, it was because someone posted a picture of one with aftermarket taillights.

Guess what car was next to it when this picture was taken. Guess.

WRONG.

"What? Where was this?" At a Fiat 500 meeting, of course. And then people wonder why I love Japan so much.

have u seen the tiktok trend where girls make pinup playboy esque car/motorcycle posters of themselves for their car boyfriends because that with jdm bf beomgyu

AAHHHHH yes I HAVE I HAVE WHY DIDNT I CONSIDER THIS???

jdm bf beomgyu would totallyyyyy have a pic of you sitting on the hood of his car or leaning against it wearing something ~saucy~ blown up as a poster and have it hung up behind his bedroom door or something. but jdm bf beomgyu would also have just random pics of you with his car everywhere!! whether you’re in the passenger seat or standing next to it, pics are in his wallet and pinned up on his bedroom wall. he probably also would have a Polaroid of you wearing nothing but his racing helmet, but you didn’t hear that from me.

you have pics that are something like this. of both of you, or just you.

ok ash is gonna show her nerdy side: in japanese car culture (1990s, not sure if this is a current thing) couples took photos in front of their mans car, or they would have their s/o take a pic of them standing in front of it. also — it was a popular trend to take a picture with your car after your crashed/totaled it. I can see beomgyu doing this also LOL

GAAHHHH I WANT JDM BEOMGYU FOR MY BF

Hi I'm Cero, 28, France. I’m a woman, far-left, and I'm trans-friendly. I’m here to click reblog on things I like, you do you, I’m chill.

I like cars (rally - group b mostly, muscle cars, and jdm), nature, fashion, cats, first-person shooters, horses, history, tac gear (night vision gear in particular!), and stupid fucking posts.

You may know me as that one homo spec ops artist. I was in the popular front zine and sometimes draw shirts for them. I also draw cod shit (not the fish) on my cringe sideblog.

Manuel Karamori has passed away.

Today is a really sad day for all fans of japanese car culture, jdm, disco music, and above all, for fans of eurobeat. Manuel Karamori, lead singer in legendary songs such as Gas Gas Gas, No Control, I've got to go, Sun in the rain, and many more, has passed away. From his legendary features in the popular driving anime Initial-D, to the insane ammount of albums he released talking about love, passion, sex, cars, Manuel is a legend among legends in the Eurobeat space and in car culture; it's really tragic that he's gone. Not much is known about the circumstances of his passing except for this short exchange between Roberto Gabrielli and RobioCraft,

Apparently he had been perfectly fine two weeks ago (from date of posting) and has just recently passed away. Personally my first contact with Manuel was through Gas Gas Gas in that one scene from Initial-D... I know many people that aren't into car culture, particularly japanese car culture, tend to think that eurobeat is just silly songs about guys on the dance floor trying to hit on girls by talking about their cars, but it's... It's so much more. Eurobeat has a completely different meaning for us who associate it with racing and with our culture; eurobeat is the sountrack for going fast and being cool and loving your car and the culture around it. And it's plainly obvious that Manuel was one of us, in love with our world, with our culture and above all, with going fast and racing. A real King of the genre. I'll never stop listening to his music. Rest in peace, King of Eurobeat.

Comment by SkyHung on Reddit

Kinda yes. Despite the dissolve of the actual 'Midnight Club', the Tokyo Capital Hwy 「首都高」 remains to be a popular street racing track. This Hwy includes some famous ones like C1環状線、湾岸、新環状線, etc. Parking structures like Daikoku Parking Area 「大黒PA」is still full of cars every night, but only a small portion of them actually do the 'racing'. Audi and other European cars are really popular because Wangan has too many straight parts where JDM can no longer compete with the high hp cars.

They basically use a 'chasing rule'. Like A chase B for the first lap. If A fails to follow B at some point, B wins. If A followed the whole lap, then they switch position. They do so over and over until there's a winner.

Unleashing the Power of JDM Engines: A Comprehensive Guide

Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) engines have become a sensation among car enthusiasts worldwide. Renowned for their performance, reliability, and cutting-edge technology, JDM engines represent the pinnacle of Japanese automotive engineering. Whether you’re a seasoned gearhead or a novice looking to enhance your vehicle, understanding the allure and advantages of JDM engines can be transformative. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into what makes JDM engines special, the benefits they offer, and why choosing a JDM engine might be the best decision for your vehicle.

What is a JDM Engine? A JDM engine refers to engines that are manufactured and used in Japan's domestic market. These engines are often sought after because they typically feature advanced technology and are built to stringent quality standards. Japanese manufacturers like Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Subaru have developed engines that are renowned for their performance, efficiency, and reliability. Many of these engines are not available in vehicles sold outside Japan, making them a coveted choice for car enthusiasts looking to upgrade their vehicles.

The Allure of JDM Engines

Advanced Technology and Engineering JDM engines often incorporate the latest technological advancements and engineering prowess. Japanese automakers invest heavily in research and development, resulting in engines that are not only powerful but also efficient and environmentally friendly. Features such as variable valve timing, turbocharging, and advanced fuel injection systems are common in JDM engines, offering superior performance and fuel efficiency.

Reliability and Longevity Japanese automakers are known for producing some of the most reliable engines in the world. JDM engines undergo rigorous testing and quality control to ensure they meet the high standards expected in the Japanese market. As a result, these engines tend to have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance compared to their counterparts from other regions.

Performance Enhancement For those looking to boost their vehicle's performance, JDM engines are a popular choice. Many JDM engines are designed with a focus on performance, offering higher horsepower and torque compared to standard engines. This makes them an ideal option for enthusiasts looking to enhance their car's speed, acceleration, and overall driving experience.

Popular JDM Engines Several JDM engines have gained legendary status among car enthusiasts. Here are a few notable examples:

Honda B-Series The Honda B-series engines, such as the B16 and B18, are famous for their high-revving nature and impressive power output. These engines are a favorite among tuners and racers due to their robust construction and potential for significant performance upgrades.

Nissan SR20DET The SR20DET from Nissan is a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine known for its versatility and performance. It has become a staple in the drifting community and is praised for its ability to handle high levels of boost and produce substantial power.

Toyota 2JZ-GTE Arguably one of the most iconic JDM engines, the 2JZ-GTE from Toyota is a 3.0-liter inline-six engine renowned for its strength and potential for massive power gains. This engine, found in the Toyota Supra, has achieved legendary status in the tuning world.

Benefits of Choosing a JDM Engine
