Well I did used to live in Florida. Not much of a market for Honda hatchbacks.

I do suppose you notice "your" car more often than other people though. I see 300M's and other LH body cars all the time now.
 
What's that Charade got? A CB70? Or turbocharged 1300? Man they're sweet, I wish I had room/money for all these cars that catch my attention.

I don't know that much about *E70s to the extent of different bumpers, can't help there. Theres a KE70 that rolls around local to me that has a for sale sign in the window. It keeps tempting me. I'd probably get sick of 60hp though.....

Note the sooting.. It's a turbo diesel :) These cars are great fun, I grin all the time when I drive mine.
60 bhp in a KE70 is more than enough. I keep up with traffic, it can cruise at 140 kph (max is around 160, but then it overheats quickly), I can get it sideways in the rain and really sideways in the snow, with a fuel consumption of 0.6 litres pr km with conservative driving.. Plus everything else feels really fast when you're used to the 4K. Exactly what I need really :) Buy it!
 
I dont know is a scion an import enough?

Oh and here we go....

Man I need a car.

What happened to yours?

Ah, rain, the best type of weather to be silly in underpowered automobiles. I should go find it and try to go for a test drive.

Have some Skylines and a KP for your effort.

That poor KP has been vdubbed..:nervous::(

I'm curious what's vdubbed about that KP. Hot KPs have been rocking big flares for years and years and those wheels are old, wide Toms race wheels, not very Vdub. Theres no stretch , semi slicks with a healthy amount of sidewall. No other exterior mods and what looks like grumpy 3SGE on ITBs.

Yeah, because everything that people to Vdubs is wrong.:rolleyes:

I just found Hankook's new RS-3 on Tire Rack the other day, hadn't even heard a word about it. And what would you know, the drifters have already been using it.

The wheels are Ronal Kleeblatt AFAIK,but vdubbed fact is simply idiotic.All of that is oldskool subcultures very similar to each other.
 
They are, in my experience old European cars are often a bit more subtle than older Japanese cars, but the main ingredients are the same. A stance to die for, which means massive drop and the other stuff that goes with it. In fact, to me it seems the Japanese have been building cars this way far longer than the Europeans, plus that Starlet isn't really extreme at all. It being 'vdubbed' most be one of the most stupid remarks/statements I've heard in a while...

I'm pretty sure that KP is sitting on a set of these, they're called Tosco wheels. Or TRD depending on what you have read.

This is news to me. I just bought another set of RS2s last month.

Fair enough,although i've seen some KP's rolling on kleeblatt,very simmilar design indeed.
 
I wonder what the idea is behind those rotors.
The spaces every few inches could be to allow room for expansion and contraction when they get hot and cool off. That's what leads to cracks in typical rotors after all. Think of it like the lines on a concrete sidewalk. If the whole thing was one solid slab of concrete there would be nasty cracks forming constantly, even more than it already does.

Bah, if you're going to pimp an M3 you may as well go the full 9 yards and do it properly.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Brabham BT92... near 500bhp, $300,000, carbon fiber bodywork, massive brakes, adjustable suspension, unique wheels etc, etc etc...

And zero taste.
 
Wow, the more I see the E90 (91/92? The new designations confuse me) M3, the more I like the E46. Though the black one with orange accents is pretty sweet.
