Protection from cold…

9.

I tried fitting a center console from a JZX100. The color and shape are different, but it fits with only minor modifications and doesn't look too out of place. The benefit is that the storage space in both the front and rear is doubled…

Grip with side brake…

A subtle but useful improvement.

…which is quietly helpful.

Last year I fitted a grip made for an NSR50, but this time I wrapped a clear grip with an empty cola can: a “Coca-Cola grip”! I love cola so much that I even turn the cans into little storage containers.

There are only a few shaved marks around the seat panel; the side-brake position…

The box/body inside is held by a single bolt, but apparently it doesn't move.

He seems to love cola enough to drink it every day. Looking at last year's photos afterward, I noticed the side-brake lever wasn't there last year…

…has a small cover. This part looks homemade too.

This alone keeps it from being stolen!

I spotted this at a 100-yen shop and had an idea! It worked perfectly: thanks to the gaps in the artificial turf, my back doesn't get sweaty at all! It looks prickly, but it's actually comfortable. It's also easy to clean. And for just 105 yen, you get this much material! Cheaper than an ordinary cushion!

When you hear the reason, it makes sense. The installation is clever too.

I added a switch to the fuel-pump wiring and hid it inside the ashtray. An easy anti-theft system! I did it because my parents' car was stolen…

…it doesn't feel prickly, and it was surprisingly comfortable. The simple, effective solution is great!

49.

He kept insisting that it was comfortable even if it wasn't a crowd-pleaser, so I tried sitting in it—and sure enough…

It doesn't feel prickly and was pretty comfortable. Since the pieces connect, you could cover it from the seat cushion all the way up the backrest…

A family interior makeover!

64.

My mom is good at sewing, so I had her re-cover the interior. The fabric was 300 yen per meter at a home-improvement store, but once it's installed it doesn't look cheap at all! I painted the panels and floor pink myself.

This car also appeared at an event; Nagano Kobo made the exterior. But after driving it so much, the exterior got really beat up! Dad came along that day as the support crew, so the whole Oura family was there to support the drifting.
