As you may have figured out by now, Bihoku is my new home for drifting. It’s a short 1.5 to 2 hour drive depending on the route you take. Sometimes, if I’m lucky, (usually most times to be honest, because this is Japan) I find something worth writing an article about. This time it was… Read More A 180SX With A Twist
