Did someone swipe the fenders off the JK to bolt onto their Z? I'm guessing that happened.

What is a "JK"?

We felt the same way! It was great to see an often unloved model get the spotlight. Also neat that it was built for "gasmonkeygarage" and will be aired in a few weeks. I've never seen the show but now I have a reason too!

Was Troy's 510 the only one still sporting an L Series? I love the wheels and the bronze accents...

The white S30 and C10 Hako, and the Kaidohouse S30 (hot wheels designer Jun Imai) also sported L-series engines:

Pretty sure Woody, from this forum, is there, no SR20 Roadster this time, but he was bringing his BMW 3.0CSI.

He was definitely there. I made sure to ask him who he thought he was doing an engine swap on an E9...


Anyway, after I expressed my outrage, Kevin and I attended the Gran Turismo party with him, where he won the "Best European Import" award from Gran Turismo..
