Default Picked up a new whip!
Just brought it back from Vancouver this weekend, these are photos that the previous owner had taken by Art of Stance. As with any car this old, it will require some work, let me know what you think!

Almost no rust, but it was repainted from a different factory colour. Interior will need some work but as a second car I got all the time in the world to clean it up.

Motor is the L28 out of a 280z machined and stroked out to 3.1L, triple Mikuni carbs, totally uncorked exhaust. Makes about 190WHP, feels like more because its so torquey, and its LIGHT. Throttle response is snappier than anything I have driven including S2000's and M Coupes, and it sounds amazing





















Perfect companion to my Mazdaspeed 3 as my daily driver. Makes the 3 feel like a luxury car by comparison.

Progress has been slow, but patience is a virtue.

Love the body lines. I see lots of the 370z and a bit of the 350z inspiration here.

Posts like these make it so hard for me to try and sell mine. Those wheels look so damn good.
