Modified Japanese Imports

[lfsmarineguy]

Someone mentioned drifiting before so here are some pics. I posted them in another thread right after I went down to west VA for the formula D event but I'll post them again.

We spent the day in the Falken pits, it was ridiculous.

BTW that is not an IS in the first pic it is an actual Altezza. Also, my posting in this thread is in no way an indication that I condone the use of imports.... I don't, but you have to start somewhere lol.

Ducati, got any pics of your plumbing lol? Always like to see a clean engine compartment. What kind of turbos are you running and are they sequenced?

i wouldnt pay more than $4,000-$4,500 for it. he claims the car is rare but they are everywhere. Its not like a supra or a rx7... Modifications to the car shouldnt make its value increase. There arent even alot of brand name aftermarket parts on there. It looks like e-bay junk...

Never buy a car that has been modified by someone you don't know personally. The value of the car is often the same as stock depending on the work and a stock car usually hasn't seen the beatings a "worked" car has. Better off buying unmodified and doing the work yourself. You avoid a lot of problems by avoiding these cars. You buy someone elses half azzed work and end up with blown gaskets and failing synchros. The car you just payed 4k for is going to cost another 4k to undo the damage done by the previous owner. The things people pass off as "modifications" these days is a stretch sometimes anyway.
