JDM Dodge Vans, say what?

Thread Taken elsewhere....


It's been referred to as "Youga Base" style, "Hentai Vans", and a few other things, but apparently they just refer to their cars as "Dajjibans", or Dodge Vans. The Katakana to search for is "ƒ_ƒbƒWƒoƒ“".

If anyone finds any new blogs, sites, or images related to the Dajjiban thing, post them in here. I want moar.


The Basics:
-Dodge Vans (I've yet to see anything else, but maybe they don't get other American vans over there)
-Lowering
-Deep dish low-offset wheels (often 6-lug RS Wats, but I've seen Diamonds and others)
-White lettered tires
-minimalist interiors (CF, racing wheels, not typical van stuff, lots of period American stickers, very eclectic)
-V8 performance mods

They appear to be actually tracking these vans, which is absurd, but ****ing rad.

Here's the "Youga Base" blog site:

Some of the images I've found (I've saved tons):














Trackday at Ebisu Circuit. Obviously didn't work out so well for everyone, lol.










Is this normal engine placement? Really this far back? I guess the hoods are so short..





Interiors










Suspension shots: (I wonder if it's the same "swift" that makes bike shocks)





The ubiquitous Youga Base tag:








I want this shirt so bad:



Again, people are probably going to hate this to death, but I thought it was something new. So JDM it's USDM, lol.

There's a sub-culture dedicated only to Astro/Safari vans in Japan.
