Because I don't want to clutter up Oppo every 5 minutes.

Part I: The Honda S600

An adorable micro-JDM coupe with an insanely high redline. Seriously, this thing has a 9500 RPM redline and the fuel cutoff is rumored to be above 10k!!!!

Part II: The Mazda Autozam AZ-1

Everyone's lusting over R34's and I'm just here like "When can I get an AZ-1???" (Hint: It's in 2-4 years). It was just under $13,000 when new. Used one's go for...well, not much less than that, even 20 years later. The lower end of the scale is around $9,000. MazdaSpeed versions still fetch upwards of $17,000. 63 HP here I come!!! My choice would be this blue one equipped with white Rays. And a HUD.

Part III: The Mazda Kraft (?)

I can find pretty much no information on this, but it looks awesome. This example is priced at a reasonable $6800 and looks to need a bit of work, but still be in decent condition. It looks a bit like a mini Unimog, but it is RWD and has a 1.5 I4.

Part IV: 1970 Mazda Bus (With a Mitsubishi emblem)

I have not a clue about this, other than it's a diesel, manual RHD bus. And it looks absolutely glorious.

Part.....V?: AWD Accord Wagon

Need. Just....need.

Part VI: Custom Estima van

Part VII: SKYLINES

What, you didn't think I could ignore them, did you? The green one is $215k, the silver $250k. Because...S20 goodness?

Or a non-GTR? $92k

You should check out the new Jay Lenos Garage episode. He restores an old SM600. Pretty cool car.

The Mazda Autozam AZ-1 looks FREAKIN cool, the tech, especially being uniquely for the japanese market is always awesome.

I think mid to late 90's JDM cars are always really cool especially with all the geeky technology in them

GREAT post Dsscats

There are kits for all OBD-II cars at reasonable rates

Neat! Although I think I would only install on some 80s state of the art sports car or something. It would certainly look out of place on my Civic.

Seen it! Pretty badass

That would be funny as hell. Or in some completely stock 60s car, like a Mustang.

On another note, I really really want a RHD 60s Mustang notchback. Just because. With a 2JZ maybe?

Did they make RHD Mustangs from the factory?

Yes, but VEEERY few

Wow, I really want a Mazda AZ-1. Despite how spartan it is, the interior looks awesome.

I like his big pal too. It's insane how large that turbo is.

It's batshit quick too:

Hell yeah. The intimidation factor is quite high when you see the giant turbo.

An interesting thing about the S600 was its independent rear suspension. Here is an old diagram:

Very innovative approach but was phased out in the S800.

all of that and it only runs in the 9s?

Still damn impressive.

They used chains to send power form the axle to the wheels?
