Now this is creepy as all fuck. At first I thought it was a Volvo 480, then I had to literally double take before I realized it wasn’t just someone screwing around with the camera lens.

Following on from the OS Giken FJ24 post from the other day I did a bit more snooping around on YAJ to see if there was any other FJ20-related stuff worth buying.
And man, was there ever!
must say, I’m pretty damn tempted. But further inspection reveals it doesn’t come with any 2.4l-specific conrods, and one set of piston rings is missing. Though I suppose I could use regular FJ20 ‘rods – the seller claims his standard rods worked fine…
Might not be the best value for ¥298,000 (NZ$4665), although the crank itself is probably worth moonbeams.
whadaya think?
Lately whilst browsing for DR30s on the internerds I’ve noticed a rather startling trend: the majority of ‘em have either Longchamp XR4s, Formula Mesh, Impul G5s, or Watanabe RS-8 wheels fitted. And to be honest I’m guilty of perpetuating this trend myself, as I happen to have a set of meshies on the coupe and some RS-8s lying around which are to one day find themselves on squid…
on a whim I stuck my Work Ewing-IIIs on Tardme the other day – while I’m not expecting them to sell in any big hurry, it got me thinking about what I could purchase from Japan to “fill the void” as alternative rims for either of my Skylines. So off to Yahoo Auctions Japan I went, with the criteria being that the replacement wheels had to be 15″, minimum width 6J, available as a full set of 4 for under 50,000 yen, and NOT any of the styles mentioned above.
In other words, Different!
Option 1: (more…)
especially not around these parts. But feel free to skip this entry if you’re over flying wedges.
I tend not to talk a great deal about my MR2 because it’s my daily driver and people don’t usually give a tin shit about their dailys, myself included. I’ve had it for half a year so far – and folks still haven’t realized that I went and bought another AW11 because I haven’t really bothered to tell anyone about it.
It’s the fourth AW11 I’ve owned and the first supercharged one… why the hell didn’t I get one sooner?
