THIS ONE!!

i cant believe this guy is selling it!

He was one of the club leaders of FTO's in japan and he's definitely put a lot of effort into it.

Got a few rare goodies as well :twisted:

EDIT: And its got the 4G93 engine so good for a little turbo monster

Am i the only one to notice he is parked in the middle of an intersection on a zebra crossing? lol
Yea the Kaze rear bar is pretty absurd, he doesnt have the cannons to fill up the giant holes :lol: it looks slightly better with them on as the kaze show car shows.
i would almost import this myself and save me the trouble of doing the engine swap myself but i dont have that much moolah before it sells :(

To change 4G93 to 4G63 still requires new Montserrat and crossmember.. So still a bit of work anyway.. Unless u wanted to go the GSR 1.8l Turbo route..

Excuse my ignorance, but why would you take out the 6a12 and put in a mirage engine? (well that's what the Fto ad is suggesting?)
Please enlighten me! :lol:

@bass, because it goes faster than your fto/6a12.
That thing is highly modded.

4g92 mivec heads from mirage
match on 4g93 block thus 1.8l displacement
high cams
forged internals (capable of higher compression)

A stock 4g92 mivec is only 1.6l displacement but producing over 170bhp.
With the extra displacement from 4g93 1.8 litre block and some simple mods, easily hitting over 200bhp @flywheel.
It's a 4 cylinders with 1.8litre but goes faster than a 6a12 mivec.
Not to say there are a lot more aftermarket parts ready for 4g92/93 mod.
Yes, it's a lot!!! not a-lot!!! :lol:

If you are looking to import, dont buy a modified one unless you intend to remove all the aftermarket bits and replace them with stock versions for compliance. Car can only be complied with standard specs.
