Kday! C7 2017 Coverage… Part 2 of 2…


Here we go… Part 2 of 2 of the Kday! C7 coverage, shot a few weeks back in Sendai, Tokyo, Japan, by guest photographer and enthusiast Shunichi Satou. If you guys haven’t seen Part 1, make sure you go back and scroll through that coverage before you jump into this section. I’m pretty warn-out after just coming back from the track today so I’m gonna leave it short and sweet. FF Battle 9 was today and it was a pretty chill event. Weather was great and we were able to watch a Civic put together by the guys from Battlecraft in action. I’ll start putting that vlog together with some much-needed in-car track footage tomorrow after I get some sleep. For now, enjoy the photos from Takeshi Kobayashi’s Kday! event…

Masaki Fukuda owns a pretty great white EG6 Civic SiR but also owns this Milano Red 5-speed EJ1 Civic coupe, which serves as his daily driver.

On the OEM Honda-side, his EJ1 consists of U.S. side moldings, headlights, and taillights…
