Time we had pictures of everyones Japanese wagons
Discussion
My new Jap wagon with my now sold Is200 behind. Honda Accord Type S diesel. Had it a month now and loving it. Hasn't got the same sound as the straight 6 in the Lexus, but it's a bit faster and full of toys, I'm really living the power tailgate.

Thanks. I loved my Lexus, I had it for nearly 8 years, bought it when I was 21 and thought I was the dogs danglies.Lol.but the 28mph was starting to wear a bit thin doing 15k a year, and it was either that go or changing the wife's mk3 Mx5 for something more economical, so unfortunately the Lex lost out. The new one is doing about 45 with mixed driving and will just about clear 50 on mostly motorway so I'm happy with that and leaves more petrol in the world for the Mx5! Although to be honest I drove the mx5 the other night for the first time for a while and the Accord feels quicker round town and it felt a bit strange revving the mx5 up past 4k.

Here is my Evo 9 MR FQ360 by HKS.
I got her back in October and as you can see she's been to MBW SS & the last Goodwood Sunday Service.
Its standard apart from an HKS mushroom air filter and the AP brakes up front which necessitates the 18" wheels not the standard 17".
I love this car and it is just a world apart from the cars I have had previously. It could get me in so much trouble

Just a few of my lovely Type-R. 115k on the clock and still going strong.
The retrimmed alcantara wheel is a new (and much loved) addition.
If you haven't driven one before I suspect you may feel its gutless coming from the 2.5 which has a reasonable amount of torque.
Still the CTR has an amazing gear shift and great steering once you're used too it! K-pro/cai and improved exhaust were all of the rage when I had mine.

With that in mind I'm looking at Astra Vxr's as I love their overt hot hatch feel and wallop in their delivery. Very different to the CTR I know!
Still need to test drive both, will be buying either 1 in march. Can't wait
