Just hanging out with an NB Miata and a Del Sol
Quite a posse
Just imagine Giugiaro driving off like an italian lunatic moments later, honking like crazy for people getting in his way, and it is perfect.
what a cool doomed spaceship
if you consider that they could have won the P2 class in 2002 (iirc?) and had a puncture in the last or second to last lap, they had their fair share of rotten luck, but nevertheless came back time and again.
Needless to say, i was enjoying rooting for them when they turned up.
Also if you want to dig deeper into another oddball outfit whose name has been resurfacing years later, read up on the Ascari LMP900 contender and the Ascari KZ1
I’m getting a bit better at Dirt Rally 2.0
One of the best vanity plates I’ve ever seen read IDDQD
IKARUGA was the legend in my neighborhood when i lived in san jose

If you like 'em GTRs in a subtle sporty flavour, look no further.

More on the silouette skyline with the 280z engine.
People keep putting L28s in other cars. Ive seen a few in Nissan 240sx’s lately. I got an L28 about a year ago for my 240z for like $200 so its prolly a great engine if you want to build something old and single cam. The stock 180hp (ish) is not great compared to newer engines of its physical size and weight but it does sound amazing. Over bored to 3.1L (as this one is) those engines on a hot cam can make in the ball park of 300hp. That about a $5K investment from the shops Ive found online. The 50mm carbs are something as the original bores are 40mm. 10 extra seems like a lot given the clearances. Im surprised they didn’t go fuel injection given the cost of everything else here.
