    Now that I moved to Canada I couldn't import it because of Canadian vehicle import laws, so I am about to shop for another car soon...

    You have to love the mustang. An evo is fast off the line, but if I drop in some 4.56 gears I'll catch up real fast.

    Definitely an odd car for Japan. Yakumo, you ever see one down
    by you? I think there's one ford dealer in Tokyo.
    Mostly sell expeditions to wannabe rappers. Warms my heart to
    know I can get a cobra in Japan if I want to.

    Don't drive atm.... should've got round to it ages ago, I guess. Still, I'll be getting a Triumph Spitfire Mk 3 or earlier... here's a pic of me being driven round in my friend's

    Ideal car though? Hmm, Ferrari 250 GTO

    [​IMG]

    More realistically though, how about an original AC Cobra 427?

    Oh, and DeLoreans are rather scarce, the parts are even scarcer, and the reason for their scarcity is that they have always been hideously unreliable. The gull wing mechanism often broke, trapping the driver inside the car!!! I saw a pretty good condition one go for £7000 recently, which is half of $30,000 ;)

    .

    used to go around in my red Mazda Roadster. It had fair share of h/w as well as interior mod. I used Mazaspeed parts to hot up its engine plus complete custom exhaust system from header to tail end. The entire air box assembly was also replaced by one developed by an Aussie chap some years ago - it's very effective cold air induction system where it sucks air from under the windshield area... Interior wise it had 6 point roll cage although I had to remove overhead bars for street driving since it was illegal and pair of Spacro Rev bucket seats on custom bracket to mount on the stock rail - another requirement to be street regal. The steering wheel has one touch release hub for easy access and carbon fibre centre console plus MGB style sliding rear view mirror. Outside it had low profile headlights as well as twin tail lamp job as well as side skirts and new front bumper. Later I swapped the gear box to 6TM... and 16" wheels.. etc.

    cost me fair bit of money over six years I had the car. Was blast and a lot of fun to drive around... sadly when I got married I had to sold it and now I'm driving in my dad's Jaguar S-Type with number plate ***007 in European style number plate. :p my old man is overseas for most of time so we agreed that I drive his Jag as long as I put the bills for insurance, service and etc.

    sweet car it is. He bought Sports edition with pretty much all the options except sat nav as he has no use for it...

    cheers

    Anyway, i'm really happy with my car. It's underpowered (1.6 and only 103hp), but what the hell, it's mine :smt019

    Plus, cars in Brazil is not something cheap. Anyway, i'll only trade my car if i find a 1995 Chevrolet Calibra in great situation or a BMW 318 Compact for cheap :smt023
