Brilliant: Swap a Honda F20 into a Celica XX

I think many purists will think this is blasphemy but I think it was a genius who thought of swapping the Honda F20 engine (presumably F20C) into a Celica XX GA61:

Why? Well the F20 is more powerful and has nearly the same torque as the 1G-(G)EU engine but a lot less in weight (almost equal to the 1G-GEU including its gearbox!). Now where can I get one of these babies swapped into my Carina? :P

Blasphemy: Rin Tohsaka versus Seibu Keistatsu Machine RS-3 itasha

As enthusiastic I was about the Aoshima Seibu Keistatsu Machine RS-1 1/43 diecast last week, as indifferent I am about this Rin Tohsaka Machine RS-3 today:

I do like most of the Japanese itasha cars, but this diecast is not done very well in my opinion…

The images are from an itasha diecast tournament and I do like some others posted there.

Unfortunately this is not the only blasphemous itasha I found there. I also found this Back to the Future Delorean, Knight Rider Trans Am and Bosozoku Nissan Cedric Y31.
