evinX Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 From all the talk recently youd think Japan had only a handful of supra left...a car show from this year, imagine how many there are parked up, in garages or for sale ontop If i ever could, id have that Veilside/Abflug hybrid in light blue the S2 CURVE one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Wow good find thats a lot of Supra's what surprises me most is the amount of mkiii's still going aswell which is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I think the talk has generally been how expensive they are getting to import not so much there is none left per se, but good to see any gathering. I wonder if they know how many of the Japanese domestic production (approx. 45,000!) is still domestic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Esso touring car! Lovely. I wonder why the face mask. Do you think she has bad farts or just really liked Altern8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Japanese often wear face masks if they have a cold/flu, to prevent spread of germs. Some lovely machines there. Edited November 2, 2017 by stevie_b (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassbones Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Personally I'd have sore feet walking past pimped up examples there looking for an un-abused model. Seems the Japs love the max power vibe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Japs realise they are only a machine. Go wild have fun. Stop trying to keep a car oem to keep toyota 1993 happy. Because its way over rated and boring and means nothing. Its 2017, you gona keep a casette player beacuse its oem? Or enjoy modern tech...usb...dvd...touchscreens. thats just 1 example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_k83 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I spotted a few when I was out that way a few years ago. 1x at HKS HQ, looked to be an abandoned test car. Spotted another 6x all parked up at Fuji Speedway, didnt look like they had moved for a while and then another 4x actually being used in anger on the track. All were Mk4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Love the way the Japanese are totally individual about their cars, such variety and colours. Good find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Some stunning supras. Think orido s ridox still looked the best to be fair.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemanhead Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Enjoyed that, some fairly extreme looking cars, some good and some terrible. They do love to spend some serious dollar on the exterior, and I'd agree with the above, it makes for an interesting car meet If they were all stock you would be bored after two and go home.

evinX Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Thats what made the car scenes about 10 years ago so fun. So many ideas were out there but now its all classy. Original. Rich colours and smoothed parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Ooooof that Ultraflo GT500. Great video that. Often see videos doing the rounds and the community is seemingly still massive over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 From what I’m seeing in Japan , any of the normal U.K. popular Jap performance cars are virtually non existent in Japan , most people seldom use cars -, e bikes , scooters buses and trains by far outstrip cars . Most cars are Parked up in tiny garages and parking spaces and seldom used . The popular cars are tiny and much like postman pats van. The cars here are all in very good condition , a mixture of low use , dry weather conditions and absolutely no DIY ( Everything is done in main dealers by the book) this along with a very high driving standard . You can’t buy a car here without a parking place to park it and it’s expensive to park cars - this pretty much limits Multicar ownership . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemanhead Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Yup correct, if you want a proper car you need to have proof of space to park it, so I suppose alot will be put in hiding for the sort of days that might keep them in shape. The 'postman pat' cars you are talking about will be 'Kei' cars and don't follow the same rules but can only be a certain size and have a maximum 660cc engine I believe. There are no rules governing turbo size and rev limit however. Hence crazy cars like the Suzuki Cappuccino Turbo revving to 11'000rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
