91-97 Mazda Efini MS-9/929/1st gen Sentia (HD5S)

The last gen 929 (at least in America). I wouldn't mind this generation and I've seen a couple in the Junkyards as of late... solid body, probably engine issues. These are FR and the last of the big Mazda sedans to have a RWD format (in America). The motor was a V6 with either the 2.5 or 3.0. I dont know why these never caught on in America, but I always dug them. Unlike the previous Luce/929, there was never a rotary option. In Japan, there were 2 versions.

The Saga of the Wandering Leopard I can be an extremist at times. When I get motivated, I can be overly dedicated to that topic or object, especially if I feel it serves or can represent something of significance. Sometimes I do these things ambiguously (self serving and for the bigger picture/greater good). October 2016 was the first time I went to Japan with the sole purpose of meeting the Leopard community. Before Facebook, many of us on F31club w...

91-96 3rd gen Toyota Camry/Scepter (XV10)

4 door sedan One of my friends was a camry person. He had nothing but Camrys at his house. He had a coupe version of this Camry and it was the first time I have seen a Camry coupe. This Camry is also called the Scepter in Japan. The Camry of this generation was the first of the wide bodies. The layout is FF with either a 2.2 4 cylinder or V6 with 4spd automatic. 5 door wagon Coupe Scepter rear from Toyotanation forums from Toyotanation forums In the early 2000's, there were companies that made parts for many cars. Aerogear was one of them. Eurebuni was one of the original body kit makers in the US. During this era, there were people who modified other car parts to fit their cars. So you see some great creativity. Many of these companies have disappeared and so has many of the parts that were made for this car. But let's look at some stuff that used to offered. Dope wagon!!! These are the o...
