Tuned Kei cars in Japan

[Adam_RSX]

Does anybody see many interesting kei models in Japan, or know of any decent sites with good pictures? I've googled a bit and can't find much

I've picked up a cheap part time awd turbo Alto as a daily driver (80 min round trip to uni and back, sick of putting lots of km on the DR30) and I'm actually quite enjoying driving the thing! Its stock and gutless, but downhill its a lot of fun and not overly slow (which is saying a lot as the DR runs semislicks as daily tyres)

I'm just interested in seeing what can be done (mine has the sohc efi turbo 550cc... looking at possibly going a F6A frontcut conversion) and what sort of looks can be achieved.

Cheers

so far in my short japan trip only seen typical garden varieties of kei wagons/hatches.. as well as honda beat, suzi cappuccino, alto works, copen, mira turbo, subi rex.. havnt yet spot mazda az-1..

theres some article on autospeed "kei fun" ... not sure if this link will work..

there are plenty of shops that specialise for kei cars such as:

F6A should be fairly easy to go in the alto engine bay.

Theres a guy that comes into my shop that has a AZ-1 as a daily driver. It's pretty cool. Cheers for the pal sports link
