Orido’s studio shots

Orido has his own harnesses

Orido’s new helmet

Wouldn’t mind having an Arai hanging out in my house one day. With it’s HANS device there. Not this extravagant though. A little more low key and simple.

Orido updates his Aristo

Ouchies for Orido

Before and after pics of course.

Orido’s new ride

Sorry for not writing as much, I’ve been crazy busy with work and now it’s starting to calm down.

It’s been a long time coming

After doing so well with his street cred and his ability, Orido finally landed a first place finish in the D1GP League. The Supra was AMAZING. Glad he’s keeping it real with the Supra after all of these years.

Orido in Abu Dhabi? What!?

For the longest time I have been a fan of Manabu Orido. His jokes, the way he mods his cars, and his over sense of graphic style. When I first start to like him as a driver. It was when he was competing in the D1 league with his personal Supra that was street prep’d and it was up there with the big boys in their purpose built drift cars. He soon made it full street status again and started piloting different drift cars over the years. Supras for the most part, and an Aristo for a short period. Orido also has his own aero company by the name of Ridox, products made by Varis. He has this off the wall but still simple form of aero on his Ridox line for the Supra. I’m not a big fan of aero on Supras, being that the DoLuck Type II kit and the Ridox kit are the only two I like. Must say something.

Recently there was a drift exhibition at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. Orido was there with his competition Supra and a lot of the better US guys were there too. I found these pictures this morning and had to put them up there. Showing the detail of his drift Supra.
