case in point :

so basically the base trim toyota refuses to sell except to unicef

Probably also to avoid having needing to go through engineering to certify you car as road legal (and possibly lose kei car status in kei jimnys)?I think that is an argument against stroking kei car engines when tuning them in a japanese blog post via google translate

The pickup variant of the Delica(L300) had been discontinued as starting this year vehicles must be EURO 4 compliant although they said they were planning on launching an updated variant with an updated engine. The versa van body style shown above was discontinued in 2012 with an alternative provided by the XV variant…

the infotainment situation can be remedied by moving to japan (as long as its not an import) they apparantly can configure and buy a car with no infotainment at all. You need to opt for a radio cover as well though as its just a gaping hole at factory.

to be honest i just browsed the levorg gt page and saw that they used the FA20DIT in there and assumed the sti used the same engine since they have similar power outputs my bad.

and in jdm STis

that hood vent weirdly reminded me of the rotating grill on ae86s

At least the disney rides moves in tandem with what’s shown on the vr gear the motion disconnect this brings will make VR sickness even worse.

The kei-spec Mini was JDM-only i’m afraid although the non kei pajero io was exported to europe.Unlike the jimny though the body of the io was larger than the kei variant hence a bit more room inside(the jimny gets fender flares in the non-kei variant)

cue eurobeat

Toyota probably could even federalize their KD engines if they wanted to given that they already dragged the thing to meet euro6 standards using i-art injectors.They could also just stick the 4.0 v6 tundra engine in there if they can’t if they wanted to bring the hilux over.They could have and would have re engineered…

i believe the gen 1 tacoma had c sections past the cab’s leaf spring mount and subsequent generations only boxed the front 1/3 and just reinforced the c rails underneath the cab

i was expecting a lambo turned mustang ....not this thing

A formula atlantic 4age costs about $10+k  the theoretical 3 cylinder would cost atleast as much

pissed off bees

probably the same line of thought into making this kei car do this:

its probably the badge chin since its exactly in the same place as on the silverado/colorado

agreed in its current state the chevy looks like a peterbilt than a pickup truck.
