Auctions Yahoo: Black Limited AE86 gauge cluster

May 16, 2013 in AE86 Trivia, AE86 Trivia, auctions yahoo

Disclaimer: I’m not selling this! I posted this because it MAY interest someone as it is a super rare object. Don’t ask me any questions regarding the object as I do not own it!

If anyone has 40000 yen spare (roughly about 300 euro) you can buy an original Black Limited gauge cluster for your AE86:
Toyota Sprinter Trueno Black Limited AE86 gauge cluster Auctions Yahoo
Four hundred Black Limited cars were made and one of the distinguishing items on the car was an orange gauge cluster. So if you are building your own Black Limited copy you can make it a bit more genuine by buying this cluster. A whole lot better than making your own using an orange marker on your original cluster… ;)

On a sidenote: I missed this one in the AE86 Trivia about the various gauge clusters, so I’ll add this one later on.

You can find the auction here:
Black Limited AE86 gauge cluster for sale at Auctions Yahoo.
If you need any help buying and importing this cluster to your country, you can use companies like Hayatonka to get them for you. Be aware that the total price can be a bit more than the 300 euros price of the auction. :P

WW Kick-off 2013: Nissan Cima Grand Touring

April 15, 2013 in event, Events, wangan warriors

It is a shame Nissan’s competitor of the Toyota Celsior (Lexus LS series) never made it to anywhere else than Japan and the US. Of course this Nissan Cima Y33 escaped Japan and fled to Europe, but it will always be an alien around here…
Wangan Warriors: Nissan Cima
I’m happy it was a Cima that escaped and not an Infinity Q45 as the Cima is much better looking than its USDM twin-sister. If you squint your eyes you can even see it as a bigger Toyota Chaser JZX100 that was from the exact same era.

Of course the Chaser never met the luxury of the Cima, let alone the Grand Touring package: more photos on the next page

WW Kick-off 2013: Shuttle love!

April 14, 2013 in event, Events, wangan warriors

Walking together with the group we slowly approached this white Shuttle. I already had seen it but still the chanting of “shuttle-shuttle-shuttle” surprised me. Yes I had joined a group of Honda enthusiasts. ;)
Wangan Warriors: Honda Civic Shuttle
The shuttle itself was basically bone-stock, apart from (oversized) rims.

I also took a picture up front: more pictures on the next page

WW Kick-off 2013: the ubiquitous Nissan Skylines

April 9, 2013 in event, Events, wangan warriors

I remember meetings where once a Nissan Skyline entered the place it immediately drew all attention because seeing one was so rare! Nowadays it is actually the opposite: nobody turns their heads anymore and “exotics” like a Silvia S15 tend to gather crowds of people.

It is actually a bit of a shame as this Skyline was rather interesting:

It looks like your average Skyline R33 GTST with a ridiculously oversized intercooler, but if you get closer…

…you will spot this interesting tuner badge: more skylines on the next page!

WW Kick-off 2013: Rusty Reborn!

April 9, 2013 in event, Events, wangan warriors

This incredible project was parked on the other side of the road of the meetup (used as the parking lot) and created by an ex-MX5 owner. It is, obviously, heavily inspired by Mike Burroughs’ Rusty ratty 5 series beemer.
Wangan Warriors: the new Rusty 5 series
I must say he did an excellent job on lowering the car. It may not look as low as the original, but believe me it can’t be lowered more than this unless the exhaust gets modified.
Even though this E28 is only a 520i the owner promised me something bigger/beefier will get swapped in. :)

A nice detail was this ill-fitted 80s radio antenna. photo on the next page
