Trinidad Auto Life

As promised earlier, here are shots of Trinidad's auto frenzy sent by Dereck.. I can't say much about these pics but you can still enjoy the good photo angles as they are taken by a professional photographer who's actually a friend of Dereck. More pics can be found on his website. I think this is some kind of auto festival where many kinds of motorsport activities jumbled into one spot. At least there's drag racing and drifting as you can see shortly.

First stop is a 4A-GTE converted AE86 SR5 owned by a dude named Kerry, one of the best and respected local drifters in Trinidad. Other than the cool stuff you see here, there's also HKS F-con Pro piggyback lurking inside, a set of adjustable coilovers and rear disk brake setup. Perhaps the owner took a complete set of GTS diff. Mechanically, SR5 is identical to our beloved Daihatsu Charmant.. I discussed about this with Dereck and the similarities starting from the 4A-C engine, rear axle, T50 gearbox, suspension system and even up to seat mounting holes position and wheel base just led us to agree more that indeed Charmants are four-door SR5s.
.Here's more pics that i can't say anything about them more than you do. A Corvette-styled Datsun 240Z.. sexy! I wet my pants just from seeing the paint job.
more random pics..
and for the grand finale, a turbocharged dragster Charmant!
It sure looks there's much fun in Trinidad with all those motorsport freaks putting their pedal to the metal on such a sunny and beautiful island. Thanks for sharing these pics Dereck!
