Quite like this Japanese take on an E34 Touring, with an M5 3.8 S38 engine.







Assuming the Japanese roads are good enough for that amount of low to not be a nuisance.

When I bought my standard MX5 I started to upgrade lots of items. One thing was fitting some decent adjustable dampers which some of the race teams use.

At the low ride height settings the car is soooooo slow on real roads. I'm not even talking slammed "stance" height. Adding an extra cm or two made all the difference in the world. You can then properly attack a windy and undulating country road at high speed when you have some more damper travel.

I suspect many people who own stanced cars don't live anywhere near proper driving roads. Or they are happy to only go fast when the road is dead flat once in a while.

Meh, was slowly thinking about what mods i actually like on that, and the only thing i wouldnt change back to stock are the yellow headlights and the black bonnet, which would then look stupid on an otherwise stock car...

So no, not my cup of tea

From a european point of view, its ruined, from a japanese driftcar kind of view, its not nearly mad enough

The coupe is on non-std rims, and might have a body kit.

The rims look st though

The uno probably has non std rims as well, those do look fiat, but they are newer then the Uno. Centercaps suggest an abarth logo, and im not 100% sure about the front bumper, might be a turbo item, might be aftermarket

And both are probably lowered, but subtly enough not to look slammed.

Those are standard Mk2 Uno Turbo wheels.

That's really, really lovely. Engine wouldn't be my choice (2.4 flat-6 on EFI with throttle bodies, please) but still, very nice.

Its very nice, but the carbon panels make it look like its been in a front end crash and the owner has fitted new unpainted panels.
I love the look of a full carbon front end, not sure on just the wings though
