On the 22nd of August the MotorFIX team did a short practice run on YZ Circuit East Course. The practice is meant for the triple drift competition in the upcoming MSC challenge:

As you can see: the Corolla AE70 wagon is better than ever!

It is time for some more rustoseums! :)

Let's start with this four door Nissan Skyline sedan:

As you can see it must have had some really big fender extenders which now have been removed. Would that mean the fender extenders were considered more expensive than the Skyline?

What about a nice Toyota Mark II X7 wagon with some plants on it?

Is it actually going to be used as a flowerbed? Or did the owner intend it to grow into a Crown MS120 wagon?

Somehow I always smile when I see these third generation Honda Accords:

Honda Accord Mk3
The front of the car really resembles the Trueno. Of course the bumper is a bit different, but it is styled closer to a Trueno than the Silvia S12! Sad to see this example without its eyes...

A really (c)rusty Corolla KE30:

And it has got the great looking hubcaps!

Personally I thought this was a first generation Cedric 130, but the poster of the picture says it is actually a Isuzu Bellet sedan:

Bellet sedan? Were those actually made??

As promised: this time a Japanese rustoseums without a Toyota. Well, actually it is a one car only episode! ;)

Rustoseum: Nissan Skyline C210 Wagon
As you can see: a terribly rusted Nissan Skyline C210 wagon!

You can almost see through its door without using the window! ;)

And what would you see then? A bunch of crap piled up inside!

Imagine the potential of this car! Just like the infamous Carina firevan you can put a mighty engine in there, lower it to ground scraping heights! Or just put in the L20ET engine from the 2000GT-EX turbo and you would certainly have the coolest Skyline Japan sleeper of them all!

Too bad this example is too rusted for all that: even the hood has crumbled away enough to give us a glance of the engine in there. Most probably a L16T as fitted in the 1600TI together with a lot of foliage!

I can't say anything else than this: Skylines are ugly!
There: I finally said it! They are f*#$ing ugly!

No seriously: I don't think they are all ugly, but I was looking at Bryan's Nissan Skyline page. He's an Aussie and in Australia the Skyline was available through Nissan, in contrary of Europe which banished the Skyline from the R30 onwards. I understood some models were manufactured in Australia as well!

Anyway, I've always been a big fan of the R30 and R31 Skylines, but these R31 examples taken from Bryan's page are hidious:


They don't even feature the round taillights!

Apparently there was also a R31 wagon/station:

And look at this R33 4 door sedan:

I mean: it's nowhere near the beauty of the R33 coupé or even the R33 GT-R!

But then again: the Skyline used to be a normal midclass car, in my opinion comparable to the BMW 5 series. And the M5 does look much better than the normal 5 series!
