Yeah, he has the Evo III and just after qualifying it crashes, flips, and catches on fire 
Tons of awesome cars in that movie, the Spoon Sports Eg hatchback is in it. There are also 3 or 4 cars in the movie that were later used in Gran Turismo 2. The Puma 3000GT (final race) and Ralli Art Evo III (opening credits) were both racing mods for the cars in GT2

This. Dam. Michael are you born and raised in Japan or were you born in the states? What do those Japanese folks think of our car scenes? Are they in love with our 60s/70s muscle cars? I'm loving that EF.

glad you're all enjoying the pics
kyle my family is stupidly complex. :lol: the short version: australian chinese living in japan. i speak and write chinese & japanese so living in japan is pretty easy.
they love american stuff but you don't see old school muscle very often.
keeping a car on the road here is just too expensive. they tax you by engine size and overall weight.
my 1.8L teg costs $400 a year in tax alone. $2000 every 2 years when it comes to shaken time.
those guys with the old Zs and Skylines are paying anywhere between $700 - $1200 in tax alone depending on how modified their car is. :shock:
imagine a 5L - 7L muscle car weighing in @ a couple of metric tonnes... that's going to take deep pockets to keep on the road.

That's crazy. You wouldn't be able to afford a muscle car. So do you speak with an Australian accent? Never seen an Australian Chinese person. Hello mate lol. Now I understand why small cars in Japan rule, they are cheap to drive and insure.

well in decent shape recaros can run up to $900 per seat. availability is another problem, ITR seats are commonly swapped into other cars too here so there's more demand than supply.
yes shaken laws are stupidly strict. 80s and older have to pass yearly instead of biyearly for 90s+ and $2k is the usual price to pass. the mods you didn't get approved all has to be removed from the car. if you did bother to get them approved every mod gradually bumps the car up the tax bracket and the highly modified street cars are in the same tax bracket as V8 mercs.
yes i do speak with the aussie accent. not that heavy though, steve irwin is on the extreme side and a lot of people are disappointed i don't sound like him.
