I think it needs lowering a bit!
Maybe it has a V12 engine in their that is a bit too heavy for the stock suspension.
P.S. James,I tried to phone you a couple of times but i guess you were out,so don\'t think i was ignoring your mail.
Regards
Carl

Few Spec Details

HKS T51R Kai Turbo
Side Ported Engine and O/H

4 Layer Race Spec I/C
HKS Fcon V Pro

Engine Overhaul was around 2 years ago but the cars hardly moved since then. Colour is a yellow with gold metallic through it (Just looks yellow in the pics). Many Suspension mods - I am told this car is built to Drift at the highest level - Japan D1.

I\'m loving the PS13 Slivias. I\'ve got a real thing for them at the moment....

indeed they are fantastic once some work has been put into them, not a massive fan of them in stock form but even a set of large deep dish three peice split rims makes all the driiferance.....

I\'ve been toying with the idea of importing a modified chaser now for a while and if all goes well in 2006 i\'ll give it a go and bring one over for abit of fun  :cool

Yer BN Sports certainly have some beast..was really tempted with the soarer..but its alot of money lol...

Chaser yer good idea bud.. probs a good idea hanging on till mid 06...as it will make importing them easier..as they will then be over 10yrs..theats if you want a later shape one..thats my plan anyway..iv been tempted in one for a while now..

Looks Awesome.

This car has had 4 or 5 huge Shunts in its life that I know Of.
Haruguchi had more than a few D1 stacks in it.

They had to build a new one for the D1 cause this one was getting old.

Very Nice though.

Taniguchi Said in an intervew that because the track is increased so much, It actually doesnt drift As well as you would think it should.

But When I first saw this Kit at Japan Auto Salon in 2003 I was very very temped to buy it. 200,000 special price for full kit without rear wing.

But by the time you ad 19x12 + Zero Offest rims and special tyres things start to get expensive.

That car is proper low! Prefer the Border kits roundness myself but that BN Sports kit is still really fat.

Was in RX-7 magazine awhile back and didn\'t look quite as rough, it must be said! A great project car to refresh though as it has all the bits you\'d need.

Does anyone know the price?

I met Andy when I was in Edinburgh (ps) 2 years ago, Nice chap, lots of nice toys  :Santa

Hummm.... That yellow RX is playing on my mind now! Probably too much for me though.
