Imports

Whoops! Fixed.

Love prototypes like this! 👍 It's a shame so little is on the web about this car Seems to be running 2000cc Ford engine, 13 entries, but that's about it what I can find quickly.

I did find it's successor;

'Shrike P15' (or P16, not sure)

It's just looks awesome with all 4 wheels covered makes it look like it's hovering off the ground. From what I find out there was a Shrike P15 , P16 and P17, but it's hard to find any solid info on them, all 3 look very similar.

Tokyo xtreme racer 3^

TXR3

I had found a few photos of this car way back when (2007 maybe) and had tried again somewhat recently but couldn't find any. Looked again and found some more...

Largest ones I could find.

That thing is pretty badass actually. To bad GM didn't put much work into the suspensions of those older Vettes. It wasn't until the C5 they became good.

 

[motortrend]

Sweet I also tried but hadn't found any 👍

Sweet baby Jesus yes.

Also,

 

[McLaren]

Yes. Always wanted a general idea of how the 4-door would look with the LTE spoiler without having to dig up the PTG cars. 👍

That M3 sedan belongs to Amir, also known as that911.

I think it's safe to say that he knows what he's doing when it comes to cars.

 

[Keef]

Digging the Forgelines. That's a good ol' Dayton company right there.

 

[speed junkie]

Anyone know what engine this is?

 

[Dekropttiv]

That looks a lot like George Marstanovic's FC before he went pro. He had a K Sport decal there too. I know as of 2012 he ran an LS1 but I have no idea what he had before hand.

 

[-Fred-]

The same one that's in your car. Though that one is only a 1.6

But I believe he's running a 323GTX valve cover in that picture.

And yes, that's George Marstanovic's old shell, which was sold to this guy in Arizona.

 

[speed junkie]

AH yeah the valve cover threw me off. I would hava at least thrown a 1.8 in there haha.

 

[kennylmao]

It invokes memories and feeling I never had.

He already had the turbo 1.6 in his Miata, anyway.

 

[Keef]

I mean, it's an idea. I'd have turned a KL-ZE sideways but that's just me.

Turbo 80s

^Very S13ish...

Well I found a new blog but it wont let me copy URLs. So for who ever is interested in some classic rally moment shots, here's the The Rally Blog.

Time for some vintage BMWs... specifically the 2002.

Exactly what I thought. 👍

Maybe not as cool, but still, it's almost a (mega) superkart:

'The Shadow'
I know this car since a few weeks, a Dutchmen bought and completely restored it to stock, then fixed all the problems the car had. It looks breath taking epic if you ask me

 

[speed junkie]

That thing actually raced with other cars? The driver's totally exposed! It looks awesome though.

I think the driver is a bit too big for this car actually But yeah, it did. Although if I recall correctly, it never made the finish of any race...... (cooling problems)

Edit:
I could scan the magazine I read that featured it, if anyone is interested?? They show how it begun, and how it is now, with some cool photos of it from that era and a nice chassis shot. Here is a crappy phone pic:

edit2; Tried to scan but it scans in black/white only...

Shouldn't this be called the european and japanese car thread? Most of these cars are JDM or EDM models and I don't think race cars can be considered imports. 💡

 

[Keef]

It's more of a performance/tuning/style/racing thing. We've had numerous discussions on thread name changes, content changes, and everything, but it's never changed. It's just the way it is, and the content for the past good while has been very cool indeed.

The best excuse for that I have read ages ago in this thread, was a bit like: 'it's always an import for someone in this thread'.

I still like it

That shadow thing reminded me of a hot wheels car I had that said that on the spoiler IIRC, need to look for it. Also that first 2002 posted

 

[Keef]

Nice fittyment. Too bad that particular model is ugly as sin, and that one has all the plastic cladding.

I've been thinking of making my own photography thread in the Photography forum, but haven't had the chance yet. Just thought I'd throw in some of my own pictures here.

Sorry about the large amount of pictures and their size.
