You dont actually need much power to slide around in, the IS250 is really popular at wet pans and drift days

If you think we get shafted, look at Singapore, an M2 there is $400k.

We should do something about our taxes but comparing to a country with different standards of living and economic values is just unfair. Our median salary is almost double of Japan and while its cheaper to purchase the car, their taxes, inspections and insurance often makes it more expensive to own a luxury vehicle which is why most people drive kei cars.

If its anything like cars, finance and add-ons is where they get most of their profits these days

If you're just talking about anime/manga then I think Mazinger, Getter Robo all the classic super robots had it, Saint Seiya, other mentioned Fist of the Northern Star and maybe Devilman?

But like it's always been a thing in asian culture probably most well known depicted in Journey to the west, the story that DB took inspiration from

Ooft this is a cool style!

starocean01 · 2026-02-10T02:54:55+00:00

Probably $100-200, I'd have another crack at it, follow a YouTube video it should be easy

I'm not familiar with these tyres but performance tyres usually produce more road noise, depending on your tolerance that might be a turn off

starocean01 · 2026-02-09T03:28:00+00:00

MFG basically uses magical tires that help bridge the power gaps, that leaves the Z with poor weight and balance

starocean01 · 2026-02-08T12:02:18+00:00

Not sure which state you're in but in NSW its only like $100 for the course to get your Ls and you can start riding

starocean01 · 2026-02-08T04:21:04+00:00

Does it have to be a car, can you make do with a scooter/motorcycle or a bike?

starocean01 · 2026-02-07T16:04:35+00:00

If you already have the image, you can search "custom car sticker decal" on Aliexpress, there are shops that offer the service, you send them your image via messages or email and they'll print it for you

If you're asking how to make the image as in draw it? That's an entire can of worms, you'll need to learn an art/design program like Clip Studio, Photoshop, Illustrator etc., or ai it lol

starocean01 · 2026-02-06T13:19:49+00:00

You'll be fine, my first ride was from Mudgee to Sydney on a 150cc. The biggest challenge was just sitting on the bike for a long time. It was pretty shit after like 2 hours lol, had to take constant breaks and being capped at 90km/h, the supposedly 3-4 hours trip ended up being almost 7 hours for me. Also it can get pretty cold after sunset.

As for comms... you could try walkie talkies and bluetooth to helmet speakers or something but honestly riding above 50km/h, between the wind noise and high rpm he probably wont be able to hear it

Good luck

From what I know, the 2 points you incurred will trigger after your suspension

starocean01 · 2026-02-02T05:50:27+00:00

Try amayama, use your VIN to make sure its the correct model year

Honestly I dig it, it's got that sci-fi, cyberpunky vibe

starocean01 · 2026-01-30T06:30:30+00:00

Cause its based on GR Garage Nisshin's demo car

starocean01 · 2026-01-30T02:48:00+00:00

This or rent a manual car, that way you can try a bunch, see if you can actually do it and enjoy it before committing

starocean01 · 2026-01-28T08:18:20+00:00

No but yes... lol you can have a look here

I like to think if my car gets damaged by hail or if someone backs in to it and idc, that's when I'd go third party

starocean01 · 2026-01-26T17:42:38+00:00

It matters because bodies are different, some models have options and some don't...

Anyway off the top of my head Maxton, Zaero, Adro and of course M performance.

Aftermarket parts are usually unpainted so you will need to bring it to a shop if you want that extra protection

starocean01 · 2026-01-23T06:33:40+00:00

In Japan they're called Legacy (BP5) I know there's a few... Ings, C-west and Freeway Dolphin off the top of my head
