Kostamojen Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'm liking the rollcage/hoodpins/race inspired look for this car... I might go that route (might have to due to the rotted interior on mine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 They Look like Enkei rims to me: Ive seen a few sets in my day, a couple here in California. If im not mistaken, i may have a friend in Reno with a set collecting dust. I might have to contact him -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostamojen Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Arent the Enkei's 13's? Those ones on that JDM ff-1 are at least 14's, probably 15's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Enkei's are 13", The ones on that FF1 could possibly be 14" but i doubt they are 15's. I saw the 15's on your FF1 and they looked HUGE on that car. The ones in the picture dont look that big. On a car that small, even 13's look big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what papers you need but you may find the information it has on importing vehicles built prior to 1989 interesting. The following is from the site; Documents required to be submitted with the application form: $50.00 application fee, purchase document, certified picture ID of the importer or responsible officer if a company (if you have not imported in the last 12 months you will need to provide your ID again).

justyj12 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 This car had been use for racing car display before. I have seen the internal before. Outside is very good but inside very rough. Door panel replaced by alum panel. No rearseat. Strip out for racing. Have been sale in last year. Not success because of no document. It can not use on Japan's public road. It can only export in parts. That mean half cut the body. The rim is Enkei rally competition. Regards J12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
