RE: Spotted Special: JDM heroes

[richard300]

I did the Jap thing when i was in my mid/late 20's with a modified EVO V, a very modified Fairlady Z, and an S13..... But the second i turned 30 i just felt silly driving those kind of cars. Not knocking the cars..... they are great. just dont like the image they have, anyomore.

Having said that, i would quite like a little silver Mk1 MX-5 (I think that will be a true classic in a generations time).

Isn't that an R33?

Would love a Japanese car one day, not sure which, many on my list.

NSX (NA2)
Civic Type R EK9 and EP3
Skyline R34
Accord Type R
Evo 6 and 8

That's a varied range of cars and price ranges. And I want most of the same.

I want that RX7

I've been toying with a Legacy 2.0 turbo estate for a while - proper reliable 4WD transmission with decent space and go.

Apart from the Glanza (not a fan of the looks) I like all of those !

You'd look a reet bell end in a 'Glanza'.

Oh, never mind.

Yep it is, NSX is the dream, especially a Type R variant, just like this one.....

Loved my RX7, had it for about 8 months and it spent 4 of them in a garage, but on the days when it did work, boy was it something special

Not for the faint hearted or cash strapped

Has anyone got any info on a Mazda 323 Turbo thing? A guy I know had one about 18 years ago, it was Intergrale-esq in the fact it had blown arches and some bonkers engine. I would imagine it was a JDM or some such other imported car. Impressive in them days, not so much now probably but I would still like to get some intel...

Great cars, can't recommend them enough - just sold mine for a 911, and not sure the German is any quicker.

My £12k would be spend on on immaculate Toyota Supra 6 speed twin turbo

Hardest part of that is finding one that hasn't been in the possession of someone who has more money than taste.

And thats exactly what I did. Now garaged and completely standard still.

Niiiiiice.

I can accept nice wheels, and a slight tweak to 400bhp as acceptable. But stupid bodykits are a no no.

Where did you get yours from badger? I have looked on the usual import sites but they seem quite rare. I want a manual too, which is quite difficult in slush box loving Japan...
