That piping is connected to a fat turbo which in turn is hooked up to a 1995 Cummins six cylinder diesel. The 5.9-litre 12v 6BT is late of a Dodge Ram and is not a totally uncommon conversion for Jeeps. In '95 the engine would have come with an intercooler, notably absent here, so the 175-bhp/420 lb-ft of torque…

Every new paragraph starts off way that gives you the urge to import something illegally until you get to the "here's the problem" part and the urge goes away. Nice emotional roller coaster ride, this column and well written as always, Doug.

It's true. It's a warzone here in the Tokyo regional area. Wild packs of s15s everywhere, drifting through the tiny shopfront streets, into school yards, through company parking lots. Revving, slinging gravel, tussling with police kei cars which cannot keep up.
