Down on the Street: Toyota Corolla AE86 GT-S

Down on the Street: well used Toyota Corolla AE86 GT-S

April 1, 2014 / banpei / 3 Comments

As I said earlier today (I’m in a different timezone): if I encounter more nice cars I’ll definitely post them. So how about a well used Toyota Corolla AE86 GT-S in the Milpitas Wallmart parkinglot?

While I was taking this photo the owner returned (hence this photo turned out not entirely sharp) and I had a short chat with him. He told me he is on the verge of buying a Scion FR-S as he is tired of continuously repairing an old and tired car. He offered me the car for sale but I friendly declined the offer. It will simply not fit in my suitcase and I guess my wife will kill me if I returned home and explained I just paid a fortune to ship a car to Europe. ;)

From every angle you can see that the sunny weather in California isn’t doing any good to the car: Continue reading

Down on the Street: Fast and Furious Toyota MR2 SW20

I’m currently in not so sunny California for a conference and just spotted this Fast and Furious inspired Toyota MR2 SW20 near a Wallmart:

Of course I had to stop and take pictures! ;)

From the rear it doesn’t look that radical but the front end has been modified extensively: Continue reading

Down on the Street: Honda CRX mk2 widebody

February 25, 2014 / banpei / 0 Comments

A few years ago I stumbled upon a Honda CRX mk2 (EG2/4/6) on about every street corner, but stumbling upon one nowadays is actually quite rare. So imagine how happy I was stumbling upon this one:

A Honda CRX mk2 with massively widened body work and deep dished Gotti rims!

Attached to the hatch there is the ubiquitous CRX spoiler you see on everyone of them but with the widened bodywork it doesn’t hurt at all: Continue reading

Down on the Street: blue Nissan Skyline R33 GTST

January 10, 2014 / banpei / 3 Comments

There are occasions where I only spot a car once and there are occasions where I spot a car multiple times… This 1993 Nissan Skyline R33 GTST is, as of this Monday, one of the latter cases:

Basically one of my colleagues told me some people were making photos of a Ferrari in the parkinglot at work, but actually there was a tuned car parked next to it that I might be interested in. So I walked outside and found this (lightning) blue Nissan Skyline R33 GTST parked behind it. Yes that is a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta parked in front of the Skyline but who gives a fuck about Ferrari F12s? Skylines interest me much more… ;)

Actually I have to admit that I did not really realize how special the Ferrari was until I looked it up… Yes I’m completely in the dark regarding modern Italian cars…

Anyway, as I found out later on looking up the license plate the Skyline only got transferred to the current owner this Monday, the day I took these pictures: Continue reading

Down on the Street: Illest Hungarian Honda Civic EF

September 29, 2013 / banpei / 0 Comments

It is time again to share some more great finds from Hungary!

This Honda Civic EF was parked opposite of my parent in law’s house so maybe it is owned by the same person who parked a Prelude on the same spot four years ago.

This Civic was done in a very nice way. Not too much hellaflush and no stickerbombs: Continue reading

Down on the Street: Another Hungarian Civic

September 22, 2013 / banpei / 0 Comments

And this time not a nostalgic like the previous one but rather more a bit more almost-classic early nineties Civic I found in Szombathely:

At the front it was not very nineties but rather more naughties with the aftermarket projector style headlights and TFTF style bumper.

From the rear it was actually a bit different… Continue reading
