Imports

I've heard the conversion with wheels/fenders/suspension costs about 60k, so there would be a markup there for sure over a standard C2.

Crap, that is insane money.

@SVX God, that Evo is gorgeous!!

Just saying, there is a specific thread for sounds...

I know, but it's still imports.

60 grand for a body kit? Well, there is the RWB tax, then...

 

[Sage Ages]

Well, they're not exactly cheap to make. Wheels and suspension would also add up.

According to the website, the kit is $20000. Seems expensive, but there is a lot to consider.

 

[Heldenzeit]

$20k for just the fenders. Then you have to paint it, order wheels, tires, suspension to make it all work. Nakai-san installs every kit himself, so I'm sure there is labor/travel costs as well.

Widebody conversion on my Miata wasn't cheap either, but not 60k haha.

Interesting things from the RWB meet last night. Wish I was there...

 

[Cano]

how many of those there are?

 

[Heldenzeit]

Not sure how many total. I know there are at least 14 in the US.

14! I didn't thought there were that many in the freaking world

Yeah! They are really cranking them out. Nakai still touches every one of them.

Also found this. The German says "the Third impact". Hahahahah. Get in the robot Shinji.

 

[Cano]

Lol, wut. It should have been purple and green.

Really?! Even the ones outside of Japan?

Yup! Here's an out of focus picture I took of him from the debut of the first LA built RWB. He's a pretty interesting guy to watch while he works. He'll smoke a cig and sit next to the car just looking at it. Then he'll get up and move to another corner and just look at it. Makes me wonder what's flowing through his brain at that moment (probably wings and fenders).

Drugs, obviously.

Whoops, sorry for the repost then.

What engine is in the BRZ?

What engine is in the BRZ?

Basically two Hyabusa motors glued together. I think the company name is on the intake shroud.

 

[Tunerguy21]

Its by Synergy. I think they're in New Zealand. The sound that thing makes is beyond glorious. Just under 12k rpms from a 2.4 V8.
