toyota tank time brotato

I'm thinking more of a bmw tank lol.



But a jzx100 would be nice.

they're starting to show up. expensive with a 5speed though.

that's the only R154 that doesn't shift like absolute dogshit. that tranny is almost worth as much as the V160 on its own, from people who know what's up.

That's when they started VVT on the 1JZ too right? It would definitely be a solid base, but finding one without paying an importer and then dealing with insurance could be an issue.

yup

insurance wouldn't be so bad if you brought in an automatic one and then made it standard actually. it would be rated as an automatic 4 door mid-sized sedan. the auto ones are so cheap compared to the standard ones, that you could likely bring in an auto and put a v160 in it for less. i would ask the gold in the net duo (Mats and Matt) how much it ever cost them to insure X90's if they ever did.

X chassis with suspension are sooo gooood to drive man. most people who try a 4 door yota never go back.

Based off of what your saying I'm pretty sure insurance works alot differently here than where you are. I've never even been asked if my car was manual when talking to insurance, and quotes for different cars that you'd think would be similar are all over the place. Hell, one of the cheapest cars I've ever quoted was a C5 Z06 lol. The main problem is that the car is RHD, I don't even know if my insurance company would touch it.


This would be legit though

idk, ask them, and try it.

the reason a lot of rhd cars are expensive to insure is because a lot of them wouldn't be cheap to insure off the bat.

hondas
skylines
240s
rx7's
EVOs

those are the top RHD cars. they're all high risk crash vehicles. the number of corvettes that end up in accidents per year is probably pretty low compared to those cars.

compare some of the trucks and see what the RHD to LHD equivalents are. there may be a premium on the RHD cars but it may not be as much as you think.

this isn't the post as many pics of your car as you feel like thread. this is the show us your car ONCE thread.
