That’s a lot of treacherous lift-off oversteer in one single picture...

Ok, for those of us who aren’t good at ID...?

Autozam AZ-1 JDM import.

One of those is not like the others. Is that a Ford GT near the front?
![]() 08/02/2020 at 10:38 |

I believe that is a plethora of Autozam AZ-1, which I only know of because of time on Oppo. I would love to have one just because of the quirkiness.

Day 6 : I have earned the Autozam s’ trust. They still suspect no thing.

I want one of these so bad.

Curiously enough I know a local Oppo with one, but I’ve never seen it in action.

so, the owner of that dealer (and that car) lives , I shit you not , a 3 minute walk from my house .

Who? I don't recall any Oppo posting about one.

I did, about a year ago. Went for a run and stumbled across a little meetup. Kinja is being stubborn about letting me add pictures right now.

You know, I don’t remember his Oppo handle. He doesn’t post much. Real name is Randy, he used to own a Jimny (I spotted it at the YMCA and posted a photo on the FP, which is how we met) and still owns a Miata, and Autozam, and some kei pickup I’ve forgotten.

So you were the one who owned the Auto zam or did you just see one?
![]() 08/02/2020 at 13:56 |

Not surprised, everything seems to revolve around that part of the city.

Just saw one. Well, there were two of them at this show.

i think an Autozam with a bodykit
![]() 08/03/2020 at 08:25 |
|
It’s the one kitted up to look like a Mi u ra.
![]() 08/03/2020 at 08:26 |

They are a hoot and a half to drive. Way more fun and slightly faster than an NA Miata. I love mine.

I have one, but I don’t think he is talking about me.
![]() 08/03/2020 at 08:28 |

you really hate them, don’t you?
![]() 08/03/2020 at 10:18 |
|
You do? Never heard that. Picture?
![]() 08/03/2020 at 10:19 |

That makes sense.

Bought it at auction in Kobe Japan, came in through Tigard OR and drove it home to south of Buffalo NY.

Amazing! It actually doesn't look quite as small next to a CX5 as you might think. It isn't the height but the width that gives it away. What a wonderful machine!

Don’t let the perspective fool you, It is super tiny. But I love it. I had to do a clutch in it, springs fell out of the center, but I’m still working my way up to trusting the cooling system won’t leak.
![]() 08/03/2020 at 11:55 |
|
You should post about it more. Where do you even find a clutch small enough to fit it? I assume parts are all shipped over from Japan since we didn't get that engine family here. But are parts especially expensive and rare or is it just the shipping that drags everything out?
![]() 08/03/2020 at 12:32 |

I had parts sent in from Japan. It was actually pretty comparable to a Ford Festiva clutch in size. The parts weren’t that much more expensive than normal USDM parts, and shipping was only about a week more than ebay parts.

That isn’t too bad. Those cars have enough of a cult following SOMEONE should be selling just about anything you need, even if you have to wait 3 or 5 weeks for it to arrive.
And I'm sure it is worth it once you start driving. Glorious!
![]() 08/03/2020 at 12:46 |

Totally worth it. I’ve had an AW11 MR2, NA Miata, FB RX7, MX-3, etc. The Autozam blows them all away with fun to drive factor.

That really means something against that lot. Even the NA Miata and Mr. 2 lose to the Autozam. That's impressive. You really seem to have had some brave vehicle choices.
