Some very sad news out of Japan today, veteran D1 driver Atsushi Kuroi has passed away due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. Such a legendary driver will be forever remembered by his masterful capabilities behind the wheel that continually mesmerized audiences and fans of drift motorsports worldwide.

Our thoughts go out to his family, friends and team members based out of his Osaka-based tuning shop, River Side; may he rest in peace.

Please take some time to enjoy these videos and photos representing what he was so well known for:

Another Stunnr Status car, this STi is sittin’ pretty. Sometimes all you need is the right suspension and wheels. A beautiful example of how such subtle changes can be a solid driving force in how aesthetically pleasing a car is.

Touge Factory now carries injectors from Injector Dynamics, including the ID1000 and the latest, ever-popular ID2000.

The following graph shows exceptional linearity and low pulse-width extension flow from the ID2000 compared to the Bosch 1600; noting that even though it is larger, the ID2000 maintains flow smoothly at idle and during minimal usage:

With the most linear flow in it’s class, great atomization and full injector dead time information provided, there really is no competition for the ID2000. With the capability of running up to 130psi and flowing 3700cc/min, the need for running multiple injectors per cylinder are gone on all but the most demanding methanol applications.
