Forgot to mention this the other day, and it's far from a Supercar. It was pretty decent for its time when it came out though - I spotted an old Mazda 626 coupe in mint, original spec during the week. It was the factory two-tone silver over blue with a red stripe, had factory alloys, etc. I'll post a link of what model it was when I jump on a PC.

A mate had one of these back in the day; it was such a nice handling car; really nice to drive.

When I was a 1st year apprentice one of my instructors had one with a 13B in it; now THAT was a nice car.

The driveline it should've had from the factory.

IIRC; the suspension is identical to S2/S3 RX7; but on a slightly longer wheelbase.

You're talking about the old RWD ones, Dale? I knew someone who had built a yellow one of those too, with 13b built by his brother, interior done by another brother (who did my interior retrim in the Stagea), and it was beautiful. Their attention to detail is incredible, they all take pride in their work.

The car I saw the other day was the first of the FWD ones, though.

Like this, with these factory alloys, etc., but no body kit:

Yep Nick, the RWD ones. :yes:

I'd forgotten about the FWD one; christ that bodykitted one is ugleh.

Always had nice interiors though.

Needless to say, we had some catching up to do at Jesus Racing's "Life In The Fast Lane".

Some people might know his son Adam Leung - Driving Instructor

    • Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?
    • My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now. 
    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
    • Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".
    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
