Tomei User: Kodama’s S15

Introducing, Kodama-san. He is one of our young staff here at Tomei Powered. An avid drift-aholic and an S15 owner.

His car was one of the test cars that was used for our SR20 ARMS Turbo developement. Since his S15 Silvia was the usual street spec style. We decided to use it as one of our test mules during the development of the Turbo.

He’s not rich, but he sure does have the passion for cars, engine building and drifting.

These photos were taken at Suzuka Twin Ring Circuit in Mie-ken Japan. This is the first corner of the 2nd track.

Kodama-san is such a car nut and driftaholic that he saves that extra bit of money by changing the tires himself with a couple of tire levers. Here he is in action. He changed 6 tires this day, by hand.

His car is running an almost stock engine, with the help of Tomei Poncams, Metal Head Gasket,

the super popular responsive ARMS M7960 Turbo, Expreme Headers and Outlet Pipe. He used to be a Mazda FD3S RX7 owner, but had sold it since he joined Tomei and started messing with this Nissan Silvia.

And he loves it too. So until next time!
