    Thanks a lot!

    I love the car... what a sound and power... absolutely stuning!! The Sky has more power (about 600hp) but this is more easy to drive.

    Thanks.

    No... is very extrange... only crazy japan people as my friend have it... if we dont think about car that was only sold in RHD.

    nice work. that car looked like it sat in storage for a while, before your friend got it.

    Yes, is possible :D :D

    But I think... if you are selling the car... well, clean a bit... if you use it, have it as you want :D :D

    Thanks!

    Yes, we think the same... maybe in the port.

    Very nice!!

    I wouldn't touch an FD engine bay with water though.... after working on a few there is way way too much stuff under the manifold that can be messed up with water...

    Nice work!!! That's a rare 7 for sure. I don't doubt that it sat forever before being sent out. Buying stuff from Japan can be risky, don't ask me how I know :whistle:
