Time we had pictures of everyones Japanese wagons

My wife decided to trade up to a MK3 from her MK2 MX5. Rather than sell it on I thought I might as well add it to my fleet. I then did the only sensible thing. Took it to Castle Combe in a Monsoon.

Needs a gearbox shaft bearing and seal or a new box but that's only a weekends work.
LK, I'd be really interested in a RR thread being started with updates etc as these appeal to me in a really strange way. May even consider getting the V6 to tinker with.Needs a gearbox shaft bearing and seal or a new box but that's only a weekends work.

I've always liked the FTO since Jackie Chan jumped a red one into a boat. 
As well as the obvious Cannon Ball Run, Jackie has driven in four of my top ten driving films of all time.
Who am I?
Thunderbolt
The Taxi sequence from "The Tuxedo" was better than the whole American remake of Luc Besson's "Taxi".
As for a rebuild thread I've been critiqued for sharing too much here but I like to utilize and add to the collective knowledge forums create. I'll flip a coin for it.

Reminds me of my old one which I loved pretty much everything about. Always surprised by how much they are disliked and dismissed by some. Still personally think the face-lift cars look really nice and the manuals drive well and sound good. Could obviously be quicker but then so could most cars Needs a gearbox shaft bearing and seal or a new box but that's only a weekends work.
Please keep it looking mostly standard, I hate seeing "barried" ones around.
I saw this beauty just the other day with a matching pink haired owner....
Mine was more subtle:

I'll be uploading more photo's next week.
Looking for gearbox rebuild kits and maybe reconditioned units and came across a car for less and a damn sight closer.
So now I own two manual FTO's.
One for the road and one for the track maybe?
It's another GR but this one is black and has "Ralliart" stickers so it could be interesting. None of ones I've ever seen have been standard.

That's cracking. 
Very interesting car. Did Strosek wind the boost up to a slightly absurd level as well?Gassing Station | Japanese Chat | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
