All the goods I just bought won't be here for 3 months then I have to fit them and repaint the car. If I come up it would be how it currently is. Just RE-A lip and diffuser. But maybe I'll have to make the trip

Panspeed GT2001
Looks like the "bump" part may be decoration or a separate lip protector.

Panspeed early/zenki bumper
Wonder why VIS called it Js. It definitely looks like a panspeed or very similar.
as seen here, the small black “canard” pieces were bent plastic, I ended up removing them. But behind them, just at the wheel arch, they riveted some black cover. Once I get it all apart, ill see if it has the side vents like the panspeed!
compare to post 1 here

Here is a pic from a seven's day in Japan. The wide variety of kits is amazing. It is a wonder we find any unmodified examples.
Sorry about the small size.
Picture did not copy well. I will try to get a better copy.

Hey People,
Redbul invited me to shared a couple of picks.
Imported this last year and waiting on compliance plate so have been just fixing stuff and replacing this to satisfy my OCD.
Is not going to be a outrageous build but will attempt to keep it more or less OEM with some performance goodies to help it along and keep it cool

Another unicorn, had several chances to pick one up! GTO/3000GT (do i dare include the Stealth too? Lmao) Fascinating cars with some interesting history, had crazy tech, but also had a lot of reliability gremlins, and that's coming from a rotor head. But seen some that were monsters

USA from our view had always been a big V8 consumer and never really embraced the JDM stuff. From what I see that has been changing.
The Jap stuff would have been cheap around there ?
My first car was a Mazda Cappella and my second I built an RX3 coupe. Had a 4 door RX2 and a series 2 RX7.
Family cars for a long time so now a chance to get an FD so thought why not.
I love playing with them

That’s awesome, the oldest car i had was a first gen fb. My buddy just picked up a REPU though, should be a fun project
Yeah the import scene isn't small, but nowhere near the v8 muscle cars (which I also love btw, have lots of old timer friends with some pristine classics)
Just can’t bring myself to let go of the RX-7s either
