Yes! Took a while to put the deal together but we came to an agreement in the end. Driven it a couple of times now. It sounds fantastic idling cold and when you get on it it pops and bangs. Definitely puts a smile on my face!
No it's not mega money but by the time you have added shipping and tax it does start to creep up. But most of the cars from Japan are so so so clean on the underside with no rust or corrosion issues. It's quite amazing considering the age of the cars.
I also believe that the Ph1's will go up in...
Haven't had it out on the road yet so see people reaction, I think I have the only Ph1 in Western Canada!!

Got a trip in a couple of weeks out to Vernon, BC for a bit of R'n'R. I might be returning with an RX7 that is...
Yeah we get some looks when driving all these different cars. Even the Evo get loads of attention, the V6 is just ridiculous.
I have mentioned several times about the whole RenaultSport timing belt replacement pit falls but we have a solid group of sensible mechanics/friends that will be super...
Probably the best Figaro in existence.... 211km from new (1991)
This went to a luck guy in Calgary after my friend imported it for him!
Cambelt time soon for this puppy:
And another shameless Mitsubishi picture:
The ongoing Celica ST165 restoration battle!
This are had "very noticeable engine vibration" so I still bid on it but it went for lots on money because of the genuine mazda speed parts.
