Wider view of perspective..
Just popped into my shop yesterday to say hi - integra & civic have been running in top shape lately that I haven't had to go there to do anything to the cars 
They're currently working on two cars for Thailand's TGTC 2003 race, so I stopped by to take a look at what's happening there.
Drove inside his shop, and this smacked me in the face.
This is the only *spyshot* pic I could take in my car - I asked the owner if I could take pics, but he wouldn't let me. So just imagine this car with a huge ARC front-mount intercooler, and 19" Gold Volk Racing CE28ns..
Had a talk with my tuner, and it looks like the prices of evo7s have dropped dramatically since the release of the evo8, so fingers crossed.. maybe I can get something better than an evo 6 after all

Re: Wider view of perspective.. (swlabhot)
you know, I could afford a 2nd hand R32 - but its just an R32.. the R33s are ridiculously expensive here 2nd hand.. and i've yet to see an R34 for sale, but i'm imagining that the price is gonna be even more crazy than a 2nd hand R33 
.. I did get to drive one though..

DAMN, your a lucky man! What does it drive like? Power delivery? I must book for a test drive soon. Its quite easy to get here. They go for around £30k GBP for a 2000-2001. How much are they in Thailand??
On the other hand. R32s are quite expensive as they are rare here and much sought after. People buy them for their rarity and because its the original and one of the best GTRs. Even using the same engine, some say that you can tune it for more power than its successors... R33s are dirt cheap!! about £15K as there are some many around that have come from Japan as nobody wants them there..

Man!!!! some people have never seen a skyline in real life!!!! ermmm like me!!
I have dreams about r34GTR's ...thats sick!!!

No skylines , NO s15's.... only a handfull supra's....

Re: Wider view of perspective.. (swlabhot)
thats not going to happen here..
It's a rhd .. whe drive lhd.
in order to get the r34 on the road we have get it homologated (i don't know the correct word for it).
it's a hard series of test to get the car aprovved for our roads..
the lighting must be lefthand drive etc.
because it would be the first r34.. this series of test would cost us somewere near 25.000 us dollars (thats only te test)
We have to pay BPM (tax for the imported car)
Thats why we do'nt see any skylines or the RSX..
The otherday i saw a US solder with a acura RSX .. i stopped and stared..dribbling..and stottering.....but but but thats a rsx.
They solder was looking at me if i was retarded.
he could'nt imagine how special his car is for us.

Re: Wider view of perspective.. (hardcorehonda)
Damn I feel for you boyz. An alternative would be to emigrate to the UK That way you can pick an R33 up for next to nothing and tune the crap out of it enjoy it, sell it and then get an R34
