Again these aren't 'on the street' but they were lol. Anyway for the sake of thread continuity....

Not really sure how to feel about the white Lancer Evo III. It's definitely seen better days, but these are so damn rare here now that I reckon they're photo worthy just for the record. 

The Datsun 1600/510/Bluebird whathaveyou looked like it had been restored at some point a while ago, but rust has since formed under the paint in some areas. Another 'too rare to not get a photo' occasion. At Nishinomiya Gardens shopping mall.

Saw a very tidy black example the other day, but whipped past to fast to grab a camera out.

This is mintox. I really like the subtle 'modern' style bits to make it look more... err, modern. 😄 Squint and it could be mistaken for a 90's C-class Benz.

Legitimately thought it was a stagea as all i could see at first was the headlights.

There's a not inconsiderable amount of US muscle on Japanese roads if you keep your eyes/ears open. Anything from Hummer H2s to classics like C2 Corvettes. Here's three at a American diner style place called UK Wildcats cafe in Mukogawa in Amagasaki (just west of Osaka) https://maps.app.goo.gl/hUSch3fp6tPr6gpz9

Have seen a suburban with about an inch layer of dust on it.

Couple of current corvettes. 

But not too much.

It's funny, I have only seen 1x ford.(an escape at that)

Multiple jeep wranglers.

Remember seeing a R32 GTR ( or could be GTS-T ) parked collecting dust near Yokohama. was parked there the whole time I was in Japan for ( 1.5years ), and looking at maps, still there...
Wonder if the owner wouldve sold it, if an offer had been made....

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
