Chasing an old JDM Import - Dark Cherry with Overfenders

Postby Jash » Sat Oct 05, 2013 1:34 pm

MX5 Humans,
I keep having this recurring vision of an import NA I missed out on buying back in the day.
It was a dark cherry colour, built motor with HKS Cams, huge overfenders with big dishy Panasport G7s on it.
Just wondering if anyone knows the car or has pictures. Last I saw it was for sale in Tasmania maybe?
Many Thanks,
Jeff

Only one close to the description that I remember seeing is this....

And from memory it was up for sale recently.
I believe the owner or someone familiar with the owner is a member of this forum.
Anyone?

That sort of looks like it. Looks effing terrible on those Rotas though. I think it had Gold 3pc Panasports on it when I saw it?

Yeah that's it. Thanks Paul. Much like an old girlfriend, I remember her being much hotter. I think I prefer mine now...

what do you want to know about it?

I know the owner, so can easily ask him. (I don't think he's on the forums)

It wasn't my intention to offend, or start a pi$$ing match about knock offs. I'm pretty sure when I first saw the car before it left Japan it had a set of these on it in gold:

I could be wrong. It's happened before...

Sorry its no longer for sale i have decided to keep it. I was only selling as I wanted a 4 seater but I just ended up buying a mk1 golf as a second car.

I was asking $7500 ono

also sorry for the late reply I don't go on this forum much as most people on here act like children and it all turns into a pissing match very quickly.


please don't take that comment as the beginning of said match...

Hey good on you for keeping the car Ty! You always had a soft spot for it, so I'm glad you decided to hang on to it :D
