Imports

[Alex.]

It's trying to be a late 50's Corvette...

It's a better car than any Vette as well.

I prefer my 599 Scag standard please, that looks awful.

I thought we were looking at a modified 612?...

Never been a fan of the Scuglyetti, personally...

Neither me, it looks too bulky for my tastes, I've always loved those typical dual-round backlights in the Ferraris, but this one seems to be far too long...


*EDIT*

Wait, are those 550 Maranello brake lights?

 

[McLaren]

They look that way because the center of the outer taillights is now white like the 550's. However, with these cars being just years of each other, chances are they are the same, regardless.

 

[Azuremen]

Enough Italian stuff.

 

[McLaren]

Though you did just post what was known as "The Ferrari of Japan".

One for the LOL's.

Lulz at the Mugen Power sticker on the cowling, but no Mugen parts whatsoever.

You've got to have tons of sexy beast pictures of NSX, right? Cause you always seem to post Honda pron. Post them!

 

[-Fred-]

I do have a few, but due to the fact I'm not home right now I can't post them up as they're on my hard drive. But I will, eventually, when I get back, post them up!

In the meantime there's this one:

And you can hear that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHJdnCupz9Q

what is this car??

Very nice...

It's actually a Toyota 1000, chassis code KP30. It's one size down from the Corolla and was somewhat of a predecessor to the KP6X starlets. Similar body style to the KE30 Corolla and sharing the suspension design of the Corolla with a leaf sprung rear end as opposed to the coils in a Starlet with a 2K 1000cc motor as used in some of the KP6X Starlets.

 

[Leonidae]

Ah, so that's why it looks like a 'rolla that has shrunk in the wash..

[Jim Prower]

That MUST be what Hot wheels based their Rally SW20 off of...

I thought that the second picture came from GT4.

Camera angle/lens.

 

[Perfect Balance]

That second MR2 pic is photoshopped.

 

[-Fred-]

I really miss mine... should have never sold it.

Dumbass. If you'd have kept in in perfect condition with stock parts or Spoon, Mugen, etc., the thing would have appreciated in value, even moreso than it already may have. Those things are going to be future classics, no doubt. I foresee prices 10 years from now that are even more ridiculous than they already are. Cars like that, MR2s, Supras, RX7s, NSXs, etc. will all be like muscles cars are now, some selling for $50,000 and more.

Even in the short term he could've made a killing. Kids in Quebec will spend top dollar on these imports...

 

[peeweegary]

Kids everywhere will spend top dollar on these imports...

Fixed.

You should see what teenagers are like over these cars down here.

 

[Perfect Balance]

It probably would have gotten stolen sooner or later anyway.

I'm sort of expecting my car to get stolen eventually. I'll move on to better things if it does.

 

[Prosthetic]

My god that ITR is perfect...

It would have been pretty useless in the winter, with a foot of snow everywhere. Which is where the Impreza came in. Insurance for both a WRX STi and an Integra Type-R? You must be kidding. With our importation laws up here in Canada, starting next year you'll be able to import JDM models... And the same thing that happened with the CRX a few years ago will happen again. The market will be flooded with dirt cheap ****boxes with no history and warranties, and no one will buy the USDM/CDM cars because they will be priced too high, and besides they're not JDM y0.

Besides, I've owned 3 of them... it was time to move on.

 

[Revheadnz]

I love yellow ITRs. Best colour IMO.

 

[slidesquad#1]

Oh and something look very odd about that NSX....

Late as hell, but I think it's the C-pillar, sorta looks like the sticky outy aerodynamic one from the 599. But yeah, looks strange.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

It's the C-pillar. Normal NSXs have no C-pillar as the glass wraps around (or at least no visible C-pillar), whereas that car has one.

 

[homeforsummer]

That Integra looks great. Do you have a link to the flickr page the images are hosted from? 👍

 

[Slick Rick]

My god that ITR is perfect...

Its almost perfect, the wheels or tyres need to be bigger as those dont fill the arches well and would look nice if they had a larger offset imo....

 

[s15specr]

That Integra looks mint, i would kill someone for one of those. when am old enough and have a job am importing a S15 silvia spec r into the u.k.
