Red K’s “Red Team boss,” Seki, is known for organizing Akamatsuri and Otoko no Go-mai, and even creating original ATF as an evangelist for 2PD drifting.

Developing and selling a wheel of his own… [fragment]
Previously the product came in blue, but they decided to switch to pink. “Suspension parts in Japan are always blue; we didn’t want to look like everyone else,” says Fujioka.

…“No one can match our passion!” Since stretched tires are their specialty, they can use two tire machines to fit even difficult setups.

Rice cooker

The approved vehicle list is expanding; for drift cars, the AE86, Altezza, and JZX110 Mark II have now been added.
