Article on Jalopnik today about the Honda City and the Motocompo that was designed to go along with it.

That black Honda City in the video is exactly like the one i owned. Driving that car introduced me to torque steer for the first time :v:

Would love to own one again, but they are way too expensive. I never imagined they would be worth anything, I had to practically give mine away when I sold it.

I was going to ask what of the ABCs you had (I was going to guess Cappuccino) but yeah man I'm super stoked to be terrified of traffic in the AZ-1. I've daily drove my Acty for a couple years but at least that thing is tall.





Also I bought another car because why not.



1989 Mitsubishi Pajero turbo diesel with intercooler. Two door, neat thin red stripe all the way around the back, kinda not-my-style bush guard, blue as hell interior, AC and original stereo. $1865.71 :getin:

EDIT one owner, forgot about that bit.

Any idea how much you think this Pajero will sell for stateside? I test drove a US-spec 1990 Montero 2 door V6 manual today with 140k miles. It drove fairly nice (transmission was actually great for a truck) but interior was pretty rough and there were some dents etc. The brakes were extremely weak and the window seals howled at highway speeds. Regardless, the dealer wouldn't back down from their rediculous (in my mind) $7500 asking price.

Anyone want an Alto Works?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-Suzuki-Alto-Works-IES-kei-car-manual/253561952005

Met the previous owner of this car at the Japfest show. He sold it to the guy who lives in Prague, the buyer driving it back there, but he's now found the car to be impossible to register there, which pretty much corroborates what matey has said in his Ebay listing.

Maybe a bit convoluted to get hold of, but £1200 seems reasonable.

Considering I was able to get 11k out of my Rugger I have good expectations out of the Pajero I've got. I don't know what it will need though, but I am in the expect it to go for 8500-10000 or so, depending. The Rugger was super unique, the Pajero is less so since Monteros exist but it does have a neat hood scoop and cool red stripe to go with it's turbo diesel.

This 4Runner sold for $24,500 dollars on Bring a Trailer. That's crazy as all hell even if it does only have 30,000 miles on it.



What about this one I spotted on the auction block this week?




24791 km = 15404 miles

:thunk:

KakerMix posted:

Nope! Turns out that the mileage is NOT verified and it looks like it's overheated :toot:

Inspections save the day again. Auction might be pulled.


That's the Hilux Surf that was pulled earlier for having a non-verified odometer. Inspector found that out right away, said it looked like it had overheated recently too. Notice the new auction sheet has the little (*) next to the mileage, it's unverified. I'd stay far away. Weirdly it's been downgraded from a 4.0 to a 3.5 :confused:

Mitsubishis from this time have that little MMC thing stuck on, I always noticed it on the Minicabs.

Hell loving yeah I'm super stoked. Less so about the goofy racing seat (I like stuff like that OEM) and not at all looking forward to peeling away all that interior red wrap stuff, and the less noticeable carbon fiber. I do see though that it's been souped up a bit, it's wearing some upsized tires, after market intake, the Mazdaspeed muffler along with the hood. Hoping that they also went through the trouble of putting on the Mazdaspeed suspension for it too, but I guess we'll see when it gets here. It looks way better than I was expecting. That 'Autogiano' turns out to be some sort of Japanese parts tuning place for AZ-1s?

I'm wondering if it was only a race/track car with the lack of registration circle in the passenger side windshield bit that is (usually) on every car I get, like it was never used on the street. The auction sheet inspector guy put down that the wheels and tires wouldn't be approved for the next shaken. And yeah, hoping the boost is up since that's supposed to be an EZ thing to do.

I'm in Florida, the boat has to cruise all along the west coast, through Panama and then up to Jacksonville. Always takes a while :(

I don't have the Prado for sale yet since I'm waiting on the handle and two side maker lights. I still have yet to title it either so I'll do that as soon as the Surf gets here which should be this week or early next.

I haven't sold the PZ one yet, no. Interest of course, but nothing substantial.

The dude is claiming that he's got 7501, and he is correct that it does have his social security number on it. Doesn't mean he couldn't just block that part out though.

I was under the impression that you can't move the seats in the Autozam. Maybe you can adjust them but only by removing the seat?
