I just started this process with a 91 MR2 Turbo I got on BaT. Ordered a 3S-GTE engine and completely reassembled it, now hoping to drop it in soon alongside the new suspension, exhaust, and seats (all OEM!).

A restomod is a form of restoration. Does it really matter?

I never understood the appeal of the gaudy tow hooks.  It’s like truck nuts for the JDM crew.

Holy hell, what a fantastic looking Pao!

Compensation to the max!

Happily:

Robocop. Those police Taurus’ were badass, for a Tuarus.

Of all the movies in the franchise, Tokyo Drift showcased the most legitimate driving talent. IIRC, Rhys Millen was the lead stunt driver of a group that included Sam Hubinette and Tanner Foust. The scene where they drifted a Z33 Fairlady Z (JDM 350z) cleanly up the spiral parking ramp was completely real.

I liked the first one. I just think it was mismarketed. The second was a dumpster fire.

I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but Tokyo drift actually got something right (kind of). The muscle car guy from America didn’t automatically know how to drift, and there were was a lengthy montage or two showing him learning to drift (and screwing up a lot in the process). Now I’m not sure if that evo was…

Ferris was right about the 250GT SWB California “...It’s so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.”

I just got a second gen. It’s the one in the first photo of this story. After I detail it I go into more... detail.

I feel like any thread about Monteros are my version of the Bat Signal. Guys, don’t tell anyone, but these things are effing amazing, indestructible, and people are just starting to realize that so they are getting pricier.
They will never be Tacoma or 4 Runner on the used market, but they are starting to get…

Or you get arrested. Twice. 

European emissions are stricter.

“Jerklopnik.”  This guy should write speeches for Trump.

It is a corvette because they will afix the logo to it.  The first one was a straight six.

I thought the dipstick in BMWs was located in the drivers seat?

Reporting unsafe flying objects to (W)FAA, but nothing happened to the perpetrators.  A Tale as old as time.
