Being car designed in the late eighties the Toyota Starlet is a car that offered the drive very little in the way of car technology or gadgets hi-tech would mean a heated rear window. This would have been driving at the basic level and yet at the time it would have been considered to be a real cool car, its shape was revolutionary and the list of option choices for the buyer to choose from was almost endless.
To start off with there i
There are several types of import builder; we have covered most of them as they usually offer stunning looking cars that are designed to win events on looks alone. There are also the performance based designs that may look as good but these are not the sort of cars that you would want to have pull up next to you at the lights, especially when your girl friend is sitting next to you!
However, here we have something c
In the six of production, Mitsubishi Motors built around 37,000 FTO’s so it is highly likely that today that number has reduced considerably and therefore we are looking at a rare machine indeed. Not only is the FTO a decent two seat sports car that offers a choice of a 1.8 litre or the 2.0 litre power unit, with a five manual, four speed or five speed semi auto gearbox, this is a very desirable car.
During its time the car had
The Nissan Skyline R33 is the fourth generation of the this brand that covers the R32, R33 and the R34 models, arguably the later would be considered to be the better one, but fans of this car would probably tend to lean towards this model the R33, which was built between 1995 and 1998. This all wheel drive car was powered by the standard Skyline power unit the 2.6 litre six cylinder engine with five speed manual gearbox.

I know that it is easy to say this about any car, but I really do think that the Mitsubishi Eclipse has to be one of the most under rated cars around at the moment as it is sporty, has a great look to it and there is a beautiful 3.0 litre V6 sitting snugly under that hood! Cars do not really come any better than this, sure, there are rivals but this is one serious machine and this one has been skilfully modified too!
The
This is a car that fools people into thinking that it is one thing, only to show that it is something else! Could this be the art of import building, taken to another level or just a builder playing with modified car fans minds? We would have to think that there is a little bit of both in there somewhere, this is what makes the modified car and import builder scene so interesting to the rest of us, and it sometimes makes you think!
The Honda Fit or Jazz depending on where you live is probably one of the very last cars that you would consider to take on as a project, it is all wrong because you have a five door hatchback car that has clearly been designed to take the kids to school or pick up the weekly groceries from the supermarket. However, maybe we are looking at this car from the wrong perspective, could this Honda really be a cool project?
When it comes to power
On paper, the Evo VIII is the eighth generation of the popular Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution range, but in reality, the chassis is more of less the same. But, it is mainly the addition of the 17 inch grey Enkei wheels, Brembo Brakes and Bilstein shocks that makes this version stand apart from the seventh generation Lancer and yet every couple of years a new version of the car would appear, each one with its differences.
The mark four Toyota Supra is much regarded as being the best version of the popular series and with a production run of over ten years this is testament to cars success in a very competitive market. The car had a simple style to body, with smooth lines and that unmistakable rear wing you would think that there is little that could be done to this car to make it any better, or maybe there is!
Initially the production was powered by t
The Nissan 350Z may be the modern two seater sports car that we have all come to love, but this is a car with a heritage. In fact, if you really want to trace it back into the past you end up with the classic Datsun 240Z, which is a car that you do not see that often these days and that is a real shame. However, it is because of these early cars that we end up with the fantastic Nissan 350Z that we see before us.
