THIS ONE!!

i cant believe this guy is selling it!

He was one of the club leaders of FTO's in japan and he's definitely put a lot of effort into it.

Got a few rare goodies as well

EDIT: And its got the 4G93 engine so good for a little turbo monster

I'm going to take my time with this purchase, not get excited and buy out of impulse. But f**k yeah!

That rear bar is utterly absurd

My freakin eyes..

Am i the only one to notice he is parked in the middle of an intersection on a zebra crossing? lol
Yea the Kaze rear bar is pretty absurd, he doesnt have the cannons to fill up the giant holes it looks slightly better with them on as the kaze show car shows.
i would almost import this myself and save me the trouble of doing the engine swap myself but i dont have that much moolah before it sells

To change 4G93 to 4G63 still requires new Montserrat and crossmember.. So still a bit of work anyway.. Unless u wanted to go the GSR 1.8l Turbo route..

Excuse my ignorance, but why would you take out the 6a12 and put in a mirage engine? (well that's what the Fto ad is suggesting?)
Please enlighten me!

@bass, because it goes faster than your fto/6a12.
That thing is highly modded.

4g92 mivec heads from mirage
match on 4g93 block thus 1.8l displacement
high cams
forged internals (capable of higher compression)

A stock 4g92 mivec is only 1.6l displacement but producing over 170bhp.
With the extra displacement from 4g93 1.8 litre block and some simple mods, easily hitting over 200bhp @flywheel.
It's a 4 cylinders with 1.8litre but goes faster than a 6a12 mivec.
Not to say there are a lot more aftermarket parts ready for 4g92/93 mod.
Yes, it's a lot!!! not a-lot!!!

If you are looking to import, dont buy a modified one unless you intend to remove all the aftermarket bits and replace them with stock versions for compliance. Car can only be complied with standard specs.
