It's not a slur. Everdave did not use it as a slur. If other people want to use it as a slur, take that up with them.

everdave posted:For some reason I see those cup holders in TONS of jap cars for sale at auction. Usually two right next to each other in the same car. The ones that clip into the vents were popular then too, and had the benefit of keeping your drinks hot or cold  I think they still sell the vent cup holders on Amazon or something.

Picked up my new BLACK JAP car I bought from a coworker in Las Vegas last month. 89 HJ60 he imported from Okinawa a few years back.    Home, washed and ready to guzzle diesel.

Sometimes they show up in these auctions (usually as grade '***') and that would be the only way I'd know of to look for knowingly-bad cars. I'm still waiting on the pictures of the blue Jimny, hope it's just as nice as the AZ-1 and Pajero. Pajero has the OG floor mats in it like the Hilux! Also the AZ-1? TAA rated that interior a D.

Kaker I’d love opinions on 92-93 diesel landcruisers (the ones that look like Lexii) I am digging ones that say wagon or turbo on them but does USA want to buy a truck that looks like it was sold here (even though JAPANESE and rhd and diesel?)

I have no knowledge of the diesels, but a lot of people in the US looking for 80 series will automatically filter out the pre-93 ones in search since they got the even shittier engine, if you're thinking of resale. Maybe that doesn't matter though.

People love Land Cruisers of any kind, the J80s are into classic status here in the USA now so if you roll up with a turbo diesel 5 speed manual with lockers you can swing a big return. Land Cruisers direct guys are hilarious too, poo poo has rust on it and they still crack it for massive cash. Just one source of prices of course but yes, USA wants to buy every Toyota diesel truck that exists.

everdave posted:In a thread about buying and selling JAPANESE cars I dont even know man are you really offended? What is wrong with this world I'm not, no. But people act as if it's not viewed as a slur, when it is seen as one by the people it's referring to. "Why is it wrong to call him a fag? He's being a fag!" It doesn't matter how you say a slur, it's still a slur. The term in the US came into widespread use when we put Japanese immigrants into camps, so it's not hard to see why it's a sensitive issue. Get up in arms all you want, it doesn't change the way the word is viewed. Anyway, kaker, do you know of any mass importers in FL? I saw a trailer today in Lakeland with 10 different imports on it, heading in to Tampa.

It was a few Skylines, a beat, an az1, and then kei vans. Doesn't seem like they deal in them, but who knows. I've only seen maybe 2 Japanese imports here so it was super weird to see going down the road.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Wow that thing is tits, love the way it looks with those wheels and tires, perfect size. Taking it off road? Thanks, Tires are 285/75R16, This is as close as its come to offroading yet.  Its mainly a weekend ride now until i can get a proper garage built that it will fit in so i can start working on it. Only has about 150k miles on it and is in really good shape but that 30 years old suspension is pretty shot and the engine is overdue for a valve adjustment. Right now trying to figure out why the hell the tail lights won't turn off, hoping its just a bad relay in the keyless entry system that was added to flash the lights on locking. PO said the alarm guys had a lot of issues installing on a 24V system.

Let's nip that racism right in the cherry blossom bud, and have some California legal JDM parts! I imported a sweet JDM grille for my 323 GTX, by way of Thailand. I haven't seen the super late BF grille for sale for years, it was usually a BG thing but there are some straggler BF models like the wagon that got the new grille on the old face.   and yes thats the C4 Vette/F40 Little Tikes car bed, anyone want it?

While the mockery is deserved and the pushback necessary, it's not really fair on KakerMix to poo poo up his thread with it. Anyway, spent a couple of hours last night extracting chassis dollies to lend my mate for his FD shell. Should turn up this afternoon, will try to get pictures of it.

I've noticed that quite a few straight sixes seem to go at the back end of the engine. I've often wondered if a supplemental electric coolant pump at that end could help, if the issue is lack of circulation causing hot spots.

I do get the distinct feeling from them (in their website, descriptions of vehicles) that they don't have any passion or care in what they do. It's also what makes me super apprehensive about doing anything on that side of sports/gt cars because everyone is doing that.
