Looking good, but go get it freshly wheel spacer'd

I know, sunken status sucks. My friend has some 15 mm's I can get from him for my front. That will set it right for me. The rear is pretty good already - sorta flush status here I come!
 
lets see, whats in the driveway these days.

2012 Focus SE

Does it say "FAIL" on the license plate ? :odd:
 
Looks like there's a few extra pieces since I last saw it on the zone a couple years back lol.

Hey buddy how are you? Yep, rebuilt it from scratch in 2007, right before the Sweden trip with wreckah to see lasse. Was rear ended last summer,so bike is bent up. Will fix her up soon.
 
My new toy truck. 1975 Mazda REPU "Rotary Engine Pick Up".

Exterior was meticulously restored by the previous owner (I take no credit for it). The engine vin doesn't match but it is the correct 13b 4-port 2-rotor engine with Nikki carb. It's stock minus emissions and has a racing beat header and exhaust. The engine block has less than 1,000 original miles on it. Stock 4 speed manual transmission. I'm in the process of getting everything in the dash working. After that I'll start upgrading the motor but nothing that will hinder it's street reliability. I'm probably going to change the wheels too, they are OK but not really my style. Only issue is they are 6x5.5 lug with a hard to find offset.
 
Stupid rare? No. Kinda rare though. I think they made about 15,000 over 4 years. There are probably less than 1,000 left on the roads today and even fewer with original engines...probably none with matching vins. They come up on eBay every few months for short money, but not in this condition. They usually end up with 12a swaps or 2nd gen RX-7 Turbo II swaps. Nothing wrong with those engines except they aren't authentic.
 
Great looking REPU 👍

Agree with you and the others about the wheels, but what would you swap them for?

Props on keeping it pretty authentic :bowdown:
 
This would be the generic OEM look, if I were interested. But with my lowered suspension the high profile tires might look a little odd.

I could suck it up and buy regular truck alloy wheels, but they're going to stick out about 1-2" from the fenders. It's not a bad look, but it isn't quite as clean.

There's always the option to go super-low profile like this Datsun 620 but that isn't really my style either.

My first car, Honda CRX SiR.
It's got amber sidelights now, not got a shot yet though.

2001 on EFI , one of the last 500 made :)

It's just came back from having a full front and respray hence it looks a lot better than it did! My other one is a 998 turbo carb. Much rougher round the edges!

Very nice 👍 , I have a friend who owns a '96 Equinox as well as a much older mid 80's 998 that he's restoring.

I drove the Equinox a few weeks back and I must say it's very good fun, I think I definitely need to get one at some point later in my life :) But for now I have my 86 that needs a lot of work :lol:
 

A Plymouth Horizon?!?! Awesome! Didn't know there were some still around, and in Canada, wow! I remember my parents buying one brand new in 1984. Still remember picking it up at the dealership when I was 4 years old. 👍
