Oh Dudes Tommykaira were tight. I have a 1997 Tommykaira, and the only M20b in New Zealand, and I think I can claim it is the best GF8 in the world at the moment, having just completed a big restoration. The R32 shown here is a genuine TOMITA-marked R32, and an early car. I don't know how many R32s TK made, but it surely was under 200. It is fantastic to see that someone has maintained the car, and it retains the genuine front bar - which are often wrecked after so many years of being driven hard. It's worthwhile knowing that Tommykaira were EXTREMELY famous in Japan, and even in the wider motoring world. Tommykaira were proper engineers, and they recognised design and manufacturing deficiencies in the cars they based their own on. They retained excellent relatrionships with the manufacturers, and hence were able to order cars with features and options not available to the ordinary buyer. Some other modifications TK made to the R32 were a more efficient charge-cooling system with ARC intercooler, advanced tuning via a Tommykaira ECU, lightened flywheel, lightweight pulleys, plus titanium suspension strut-braces, and with custom JASMA-approved 3 Cat-back exhaust system. Under the car it is almost certain upgraded anti-rollbars are fitted, along with Tommykaira springs with a 20mm drop, and twin-tube gas struts for higher suspension performance. I am a 911 guy, owning a few - and yet it is my little M20b I drive on a daily basis. I call it Two-thirds of a 911 Turbo, but at 1/10th the price, and with 9/10ths the fun. It is truly an amazing car, and even today, I do not think there are many cars which could beat it point-to-point in New Zealand. And this is true for all road surfaces and all driving conditions.

Hey Byron, not sure if youll see this but I recall you noticing the turbo lag in the rb26. Thats actually supposed to be like that because of the all wheel drive system. At the time of its creation the high performance awd system was fairly new and had plenty of bugs. So to keep that system strong and reliable you dont make boost at low rpm so when your getting going it wont put the same stress as it would if you hit boost much lower in the rpms. Still a beautiful car though. Thanks

Miracle Whip - Lancer Evo X it's not as flashy as other Evos or other JDM tuner fan favourites. It's still got all wheel drive and turbo charged engine, so you can make it go sideways easily and safely. But it's also got all the safety standards 2006 had to offer, plus ride upgrade for comfort and style. Search your feelings, you know it to be true

5: 22 lol girls definitely won't like it. This car, or any serious sports car is a guy magnet. If you want to impress girls, get a base model luxury brand like a Boxster. My favorite former cars are also girl repellants, which are my gutted S13 with a blacktop SR20 and my full interior AE86 SR5 (never had the pleasure to own a running GTS.

There it is top rank again. A company that sells you cars at three times what they paid for them and tell you its a good deal. 45-60k for a r32 gtr +10, 000-16, 000 for smog compliance smh. R32 gtrs are under 20k in Japan and import/shipping fees and paper work are not more than 5k. to top rank thieves

I feel like a BMW 135i would work for him. I personally despise BMW as a comapny for building cheap unreliable cars, but they drive great during the lease period. First tim i drove one foe thes 2 door, twin turbo monsters, i honestly had to try not to fall in love.

Just think, this thing if in which you went ahead and made a lifelong contract with, it never gains weight or gets saggy. Not too bad of an idea, now that would be something to look forward to.

Is it true that One of Lewis Hamiltons favorite car is R32? I am sure I have read it somewhere, but could not find it over the www mow. Probably Mercedes does not want you to know.
