This is an awsome car.

On a different note those number plates with the red strip across em in ur pic,

does that mean they are temporary licence plates or is that how cars get defected in japan.

just curious....

yeah your on, temporary plates they are... you need them when your in the process of getting your car registered... there good for a week if you get them on a monday... lots of people also use them to temp-legalize a non-street legal car for a track day...

no idea where he got a shroud like that but i dont need one that big as you can see....

tape is just there temporary just FYI...

not to shabby, a bit high and the Aero is just slapped on but oh well....

the flake shows best in streetlamps and other night time artificial lights... in the sun the general shinyness of the car seams to mask the flake... but it still looks great, chicks dig it...

so its official we were gonna name her Dorthy but Betty seams to work better, when the song black betty just happened to come on when i was thinking of names...

some more car show pics...

2 stroke as in 200cc?

nah 2-stroke as in 2-cycle, not a 4 stroke, more like a motorcycle motor then a car...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_cycle

It actually drifts very well, i was surprised i knew it would do good, but the smoothness of the big car just makes it insanely easy to manipulate cause of the feel of sort of drifting in slow-motion... but it deffinatly doesnt stop as fast as my past drift cars (lighter and smaller).... didnt get any drift shots sorry, i was just f**king around....

on another note i will say that my suspension does beautifully at 200+ Kph we did the trip out to Daikoku this weekend.... and the car didnt have a shutter on the high speed turns... out handled a touge civic haha, and out ran a Rx7 so im happy....

unfortunatly the Tranny that came with the swap is less then perfect and i have to track down a replacement soon before i head to the track...

should be at a Gymkana on the 15th of June we'll get pics then....

thanks again for all the good words...

yea dats gud 2 hear :P

has it got a s13 box in it now? go s14? or reco da s14 if u got dat in it..

well its mean-ness will scare my ceffy off da road so da good words are granted :D

GL wit it all

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
