Anybody know more or have more pics of this nsx?
Would've changed a couple things on these cars but I like the theme.
Defaults to no covering, actually.My windshield doesn't have the A-S1 line so, by regulation, it defaults to a limit of no more than 3" worth of "sun shading material" from the top of the windshield. That's less than what the factory visors covered!
Never realized how sexy the TA28 is...
And they're not exactly expensive, either.

Well, it should be a lot cheaper than a GC10, I suppose At least if you're going for a genuine GT-R, not just a regular GC10.Amazing classic Toyota, hope I can find a TA and a Hako 2000GT-R.
Although it's not common, but you can find one of these in the US. Even if you import one, at least the car is over 25 years old.
LuminisWell, I can't, of course, say anything about foreign markets. From what I've seen, though, you'd be able to buy:
[*]A car in need of some work for sub € 5,000
[*]A car in decent condition for sub € 10,000
[*]A recently fully restored car for about € 30,000
Personally, I'd be looking for a car where the body is in good condition, whereas the suspension and engine are shot. I'd probably go for a different engine, anyways. Something just as small, put a bit more powerful and economical. Haven't thought it through, but from what little I've gathered, it's possible to swap a 3S GTE into it, so something like Ford's 1.6 Ecoboost or VW's 2.0 FSI (depending on whether I'd want to go turbo or NA) should fit, provide plenty of oomph (about 150 HP and 200 Nm) for such a light car, get great mileage, be good on emissions and relatively cheap to source, as plenty of cars with such engines end up being crashed. Probably not the easiest transplant, but still.
It would take lots of fabricating, of that I'm sure, but this is actually the most realistic approach to getting a that I would love all around. Great looks (with a bit of body work and a lowered/new suspension, wheels etc.), fun due to the light weight (and, thus, sufficient amount of power), not too pricey to keep running. Plus, it's pretty unique, too.
Just a bit of thinking I've done I love me some nice retro JDM cars and I'm pretty determined to get one, one day. It's out of the question for the next few years, but I'm holding onto that idea. And this approach sure seems more realistic than getting an S30

Eunos_CosmoApparently, Hayward Rotary over in the UK is going to be producing road going replicas of this:
