Nice looking car. Black is always a good color for a roadster.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

I do like the look of those "smaller" tires on the wide rim.
That's always been my problem (I always put tires on which the tread width is at least as wide as the rim)

c'mon Phil it's Hipari
If you can't read the sidewall info from the behind the car, then it's not stretched enough

I am warming to the look. I love the stance of the car....something not right about the engine angle, but its a work in progress and I would bet the trans mount is missing or the front is just blocked in place.
I am feeling my age - I had to look up Hipari and I work for a Japanese company
In Japan, the word Hipari refers to a tire style that is achieved by stretching a narrow tire over a wider wheel

Nope! Only the link to your youtube showing the turbo Z. Interesting that the "quote" shows a webshots pic but no pic on this computer... maybe this computer has an issue as I am at work. Thanks, will check it out at home.
