Other Stuff
Generally speaking if you're into “Import Tuning” you're not here for the other stuff. But other stuff is interesting. How about a RE-Amemiya rotary powered Lotus? A Porsche speedster propelled by a 3 phase motor/generator turned heads, and I saw my first V4 in a Scuderia.

1971 Scuderia/Fiat 500: 190HP @ 12,500 RPM in a very light weight chassis. |

VR4, don't think I've ever seen a 4cyl in a V configuration before. Tube Chassis and Z33 Cusco diff. |
This trip was like a health check on the state of Japanese Tuning. I'm happy to report that automotive passion is still alive and well over there. OEMs just need to light the wick and the fire will embolden those that have the love of all things automotive
