“It just didn´t look right: it was such a big, lumpy car. We would spend days and days testing different rear wings and it was about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.” - F1 driver Stefan Johansson about Ferrari´s design & development efforts with the F186 car in 1986.

^ F1 LM and MP4/12C. Epic shot.

^Well executed theme.

They sell them in the UK?

Not officially, but like most Japanese cars there have been a few imported privately. The number is probably only in the tens, though.

There are literally a handful of Mazda AZ-1s, too. And probably a few hundred Honda Beats, and apparently 439 Suzuki Cappuccinos (which were sold officially for a while).

We do get some odd Japanese stuff, but most of it has been imported privately.

 

[speed junkie]

I've always like the Suzuki the most. But a Honda Beat with a B16 swap is pretty awesome.

I think these were 1/2JZ-GTE powered AE86s. The silver one is in Gran Turismo 2.

 

[speed junkie]

Nope, 3S-GTE.

 

[GDII]

Haha there goes Gran Turismos sounds playing with my head. It sounds like a 1J in GT2.

It stands on the chassis of a Jeep CJ7-4200.

So, because Photobucket no longer lets me use my photo's URLs to post on forums, I had to upload it to use different means of sharing

Try imgur perhaps, they allow the use of URLs and in my experience it runs much smoother than photobucket. I hate photobucket.

My favorite gen Celica.

 

[speed junkie]

Why thank you. Will definitely be switching.

I don't like sleepers. They're usually some average, otherwise stock car, that "has some get up and go to it." So not too sure if this should be placed in that category

Taking a leaf out of speed junkie's book with an F1 car... (apologies if repost)

And a fun winter car:

Some nice photos there. That 400GT takes me right back to my GT2 days.

Also that BMW F1 engine photo 👍

S3 + permanant quattro

S3 and permanent quattro? Did you change the quattro system?

 

[Anna+Reece]

My favorite gen Celica.

*snip*

This is beautiful. I made this my desktop wallpaper, actually. I don't see enough Old Celicas like this.

Thoughts on this?

And here is a Concept Drawing of the Kenmeri Skyline, notice how the rear window and roofline are very similar to that of the R35 we have today.

Whaaaaa.... this is sooo good!

New Mini?! Bah! This is closer to Issigonis original vision. Small, spacious, light, affordable and fun...

Yes .
Haldex has "Haldex ECU" upgrades to make them permanent. For the second generation you can even put a bit more power to the rear with the differentials.
And then there are modified racing versions which even utilize the Haldex during braking (wanted that but was a bit worried about the durability of the quattro)
Feels like a good old quattro system 👍

Awesome page!

Nice. Winkle finish black really tops any engine bay off.
