Old School Cars Discussion

[alcyon]

I don't know about Russian videos. Mostly I look for Japanese ones. Particularly Wasabicars if you have heard of it before.

yes wasabi cars is good but his videos is more like just a general overview. Those russian guys actually review JDM cars in detail and talk about the technical aspects , which is mostly lacking in english videos. The russians are also very good at modding cars by themselves.

I go to wasabi cars to learn more about these old cars and see how people generally mod/restore these cars. I really like it when some of them try to keep their cars as stock as possible which makes it so valuable when they get old. I'm trying to follow that style with my car.

Exhaust mod is pretty common among old school fellas it seems. Saw a lot of these cars also mod exhaust but mostly muffler.

But if I want, can install back stock because I took it back.

Old school classic must be stock......lol

They really give you a feel of the car and how it looks like inside.

If I am not mistaken, in Russia, the traffic is at left side and they are using these cars directly from Japan.

Too bad I really don't know what they are saying at all.

Maybe is the grill I guess? This is a C210 isn't it?

I'm more used to the grill in this one.

How to register car from thailand ? I know on FB there is a guy who created a group kereta murah dari Siam but he is a fraud. AFAIK registering a car from thailand or japan must follow same procedures like AP and MITI paperwork.

I don't think think 30-40k is a real CE9A chassis Evo 3. Most of these are selling over 50k. Even GC8 Impreza WRX STI can hardly be found under 40k and that car is way less popular than Evo 3. 30-40k is probably a converted Lancer into Evo?

Anyway, a photo of the engine bay showing the strut tower area is enough to tell whether is it a real Evo or not. Peterj is an owner of an original CD9A Evo 1 and he posted photos of how Evo chassis is different in terms of welding and from that, an Evo can easily be spotted without even referring to chassis VIN number.

I've seen that page before. Cars like R35 are selling as low as RM30-RM40k and yet they say is legal with Thailand plate and Thailand insurance.

.

those ad i saw is from the owner himself. Might make sense since due to current economic situation. yup gc8 sti saw around 50k. The only reason im looking for the evo3 is to have awd + reuse my engine + manual raw performance. hahaha.
