What is the exhaust on that Lexus? I've seen similar on Hondas and always thought it was some dude running stock exhaust but wanted his car to look like it had fart can on it. And that Lexus doesn't look like a car that would have a wanna-be fart can on it.

It's just like any other "fart can" exhaust, it just has a silencer in it.

Please, no more kei's! I beg you.

Living here in Japan, you see them everywhere and the overall standard of driving is terrible. Tricked out with flimsy plastic bodykits, furry dashboards, vinyl coloured steering wheel covers and glass gear knobs - they terrorize the roads over here.

On several occasions I have been tempted to buy a LandCruiser and crush one of the little suckers.

Thats an irish micra

To be more specific, it's an Irish-registered Tommy Kaira M13.

More M13s:

Man... I'm really loving all of these tuned Kei cars... I wish we had em here in the states... I would be very tempted to buy one to fiddle with... :D
 
Since we're going in a Kei car direction for the moment....here's my contribution and I truly love these cars, I'm seriously considering importing one for local driving up here. :cool:

I'm waiting for the first person to mention Q-Mods about this car, it will truly show that person's ignorance to what this car truly is and how hard it was to acquire one brand new. :mischievous:
 
The Figaro is pretty cool I think, it takes all the worse parts of retro design and throws them together into something that just looks bizarre. I remember the first time I saw one I thought it was some classic car.
 
Exactly, they've taken a lot of bad bits, put them together and have come out with something that looks classically stunning!!

Got to find one cheap enough to import over here though. :crazy:
 
Well done.

WTF...there was a car at Import Alliance that had scoops on the sides, a high rear bumper, and pretty much looked just like that car. But it was white. What gives?

Apparently the one I saw is the same car, just with new decals. He was even running a Redline event in your picture too. But still, what gives?

Something for you Mafia, I'm not sure 'bout the sweet tribal vinyl but otherwise.

Revheadnz, I'm daydreaming of one of them with a SR20DET with GTi-R ITB's. :drool::drool:

Should I seek psychiatric advice for thinking such thoughts?? :dopey:
 
Hah, no, that would be pretty amazing. I wonder if an SR would fit, if it did it would be one tight squeeze.
If you manage to find a Figaro for sale you should try to find a March Superturbo engine for sale and ship in the same contained. 900cc twincharged 110bhp. And it's a similar design to the 1.0l already in the Figaro so it could be an easy-ish fit. Then a few little boost-up mods and you could have 130hp+. Which would be fun in a Figaro :D
