16 year old stock engine with only exhaust and CAI done..



what a great car that was.. man i miss her.. was also my very first and very own car which i bought with my very own and very hard earned money

edit: aaaa the licence plates are still the same.. ah nostalgia..

ghe ghe..I know how you feel. Had the same car and everything. Only mine is now owned by some fat bloke...not quite the same.

the funny thing is what i miss the most abut the car.. the little things that have little to do with performance.. for instance the sound of the starter (it really sounds so cool), And when you drive in hard rain, when you feel the water splashing onto your feet when you drive over puddles. and the solid and precise feel of that tranny.. and such a great feel/feedback for and from the road.. and that smooth rev happy engine with crispy response.. and the smell of papaya dashboard polisher

In the end, its not the stupendous power figures or high technology implemented into the car that make the car great. Its all those litlle things. Okay the smell of papaya can be argued.

Hopefully my hachi will give me the same pleasures some day..
