Someone find me a set of those wheels and I wont cut the fenders on mine

i am looking right as we speak, i am in the yahoo japan site

I'm liking the rollcage/hoodpins/race inspired look for this car... I might go that route (might have to due to the rotted interior on mine)

Those look like BBS My friend has that style on his '67 Lotus Elan,only in gold.

 

You cut those fenders and

They Look like Enkei rims to me:

 

 

 

Ive seen a few sets in my day, a couple here in California. If im not mistaken, i may have a friend in Reno with a set collecting dust. I might have to contact him

Arent the Enkei's 13's? Those ones on that JDM ff-1 are at least 14's, probably 15's...

Enkei's are 13", The ones on that FF1 could possibly be 14" but i doubt they are 15's. I saw the 15's on your FF1 and they looked HUGE on that car. The ones in the picture dont look that big.

 

On a car that small, even 13's look big

Ah, here we go

just of interest

bad news, i made contact with a importer here that brings cars in from japan, he said the car has no papers and as such it can not be exported from japan. how are going to save this treasure.

Thierry have you checked the DOTARS website? Not sure what papers you need but you may find the information it has on importing vehicles built prior to 1989 interesting. The following is from the site;

Documents required to be submitted with the application form:

 

$50.00 application fee, purchase document, certified picture ID of the importer or responsible officer if a company (if you have not imported in the last 12 months you will need to provide your ID again).

the problem is not landing in australia, it is getting out of japan.

That is a shame :-\

This car had been use for racing car display before. I have seen the internal before. Outside is very good but inside very rough. Door panel replaced by alum panel. No rearseat. Strip out for racing. Have been sale in last year. Not success because of no document. It can not use on Japan's public road. It can only export in parts. That mean half cut the body. The rim is Enkei rally competition.
