Here's my current Jap cars:

Honda CR-Z. I've become quite attached to this thing. Slow, but great fun to chuck around:



And my weekend / fun car. Toyota MR2 Turbo. I've had this for years now and it's a bit of a rolling project:

My 2016 Levorg GTS

Another R32 GTR here

Had this car for just over 2 years. Last year it spun the bottom end, so got a fully forged bottom end with a big single setup. Nowhere near it’s full potential currently, 420hp at 14psi.

Love this. Great colours, original angle, authentic. Really places you there.

really regret getting rid of mine now. I'm close to picking mine up now, so I present to all my Toyota Crown Athlete GRS184;

to save you looking it up:

S180 series (12th gen), 3.5V6 (2GR-FSE), 315ps (311bhp), RWD, 6sp Auto

Mine is a 60th Anniversary edition and unlike my Skyline think I'm going to mod this one! Apparently there's a supercharger kit available

Any updates on this??, I'm rather curious.
I believe there is a factory supercharged version of the Crown Athlete.

Collected it just before Easter and I am smitten. It's an excellent all rounder and can do both the smooth cruising and being a yobbo very well. Electric everything and it all works (except the radio but looking back it seems that the previous owner dicked around with the stereo so not endemic of the car, I've just been unlucky). When pressing on it's very quick and the shift is nice and smooth (triptronic is good aswell) steering is good but lacking in ultimate feel however the chassis feels good in the driving I've done.

Not that I bought it for it but the mpg is very good, it's a Lexus underneath so 30mpg ish is my average, went to Southampton-Lydden Hill-Southampton on half a tank and spend 90% of it on cruise control.
Only criticism, the cruise can be a bit dim-witted but my only comparison is my Jag which only did smooth well, the rest of that car was garbage.

I'm going to JDMCombe on Saturday if you're around my car will be there and you can take a closer look, will be polishing up the pearl paint on friday night

I can't find that this one (S180) came from the factory with a supercharger however the next gen S200 did http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/usedcars/TOYOTA/CR...

The same +M supercharger option was offered in the second generation Mark X.

You can even modellista the current Crown, not sure it does much for the performance mind: https://toyota.jp/crown/customize/modellista2/?pad...

MR2OC. In the paddock area near Merlin Motorsport.

[designforlife]

I'll be there in the Toyota bB, up near quarry with Square Society (look for all the nissan cubes).

[aka_kerrly]

Excellent, I will also be at Castle Combe with the Altezza on the glosjdm stand which I believe is near Bobbies.

Hope its good weather tomorrow as I've not done much cleaning/prep work yet.

Anyone own a GTO? 3000GT?

I had one for all of 5 minutes back in the early 2000's....engine blew up on the way home.
I was 21 at the time...£4.5k I paid for it.
