Shortly after I finished going through the Kday Chapter 4 photos from Koji Karimata, I got a message in my Facebook inbox from my other regular Japanese contributor, Shota Mori. He had spent a couple of sleepless nights going through his coverage and sent me the link with the completed photos to post here on the site. I’m typically used to editing his photos for him but ever since Mori got a new camera body, he decided to try his own hand at editing. There’s been so much content going into the site lately that I’ve been flooded with work so it is kinda cool that he processes his photos now. I love the post-processing photos but it really saved me some time when I got all the photos completed and ready to go. All I had to do was mark them for the site and here they are for you to see. I’ve gotta run so I’ll keep it short for today. Everything you need to know about Kday you’ve probably already read about in my other two Kday C4 posts (Click HERE and HERE) so let’s get right into the photos. Shota Mori’s perspective is completely different from Karimata’s because he covers any and everything going on at the event and not just the cars itself. Both are great and I truly appreciate the time they took to cover Kday C4. It’s always good to get varying perspectives because you get a better idea of what these guys look for and how their tastes differ being that they are from different areas of Japan. Mori captured a ton of photos so this should go on for more than two parts. It’s filled with great stuff so you won’t get bored of it, I promise. Anyways, as I said, time to go. Enjoy the shots and make sure to come back to see the rest of it!…

Big fan of this Integra XSi build on SE37K wheels….

Civic Ferio on some rare Sieg (Pronunced [ZI:K]) mesh wheels. Judging by the center cap design, these were wheels most likely produced by SSR for the European market as they are branded as German wheels but still retain the original design of an SSR EX-C Mesh….

A couple of white Honda sedans from the late 80s….

Chang Nakajima’s Ferio cruising down the road to the venue….
