Another from the UK.

Hi,

I only wish I could take credit for how the car is - but unfortunately I have not done a thing to it. I will start to make my own additions very soon - its crying out for a quickshift.

A nice chap called alex (another UK '86 addict) delt with importing the car from Japan. He had a black Levin prior to this one. He only kept this car for a short while before selling it to me (he has plans for building a turbo'd 4a-ge motor for another 86).

I saw some poor to average cars over the last year - even really bad examples have been selling for £3 and average ones for £4K. I figured if I got one of those it would cost me a small fortune to get it to the standard I wanted. This car has most of what I want so a little over £5K got me a great spec car. There are many cars available on the Yahoo Auctions japan. I think with the right contacts there are similar spec cars available.

It seems a lot for those who don't appreciate what these cars are - but I get a huge amount of enjoyment from it and that is priceless.
