45 you say. Whaaaayyy!!!
In addition to my Aristo i have a 2010 Hilux vigo 3.0 diesel and a z32 tt and...a 1974 B210 we got from new with big cam and two dellorti sidedrafts. My 1st love. Gets 20mpg when compression sealing goid and great to drive. 12 mpg when compeession leaking across cylinders. About 12:1 compression in A seires pushrod Nisssn engine.
we had an S14c200sx with thei sr20det from new. 45mpg is really a marvel as US gallin is just about 3.765 litre. Verify that and if it is accurate. Call Guiness. I am not being sarcastic as i foollow u as u may know.

Huh, neat. Didn't know about the brand change. TBH, "Rowen" doesn't give me the same Gran Turismo-related tinglies that seeing that iconic Tommykaira script does. Still, nice easter egg for the build.
edit: seems they (E&R) just bought Tommykaira's assets, Rowen is another brand owned by the same parent company.

Full Disclosure - one of my sponsors, MyJapanDirect, is the exclusive US distributor of Rowen, hence why I purchased the set of lug-nuts.

2 sets of new wheels
Abflug Gran Revolfe - as used on virtually every Abflug show car. I like these because of the historical significance and the late 90s look. These are 3 piece forged.
Front: 8.5x18 +35
Rear: 9.5x18 +41

Huh, neat. Didn't know they made a one-piece Double Six now.
Nice find on the Ab Flug wheels. Will you be keeping the original specs?
So many great wheels available at sweet prices on Y!AJ and Crooooober, until you factor in shipping... Then the prices are still ok, but not the sweet deals they would be if we were in Japan.

The deals are a lot better when you have them shipped on a US bound container! I’ll PM you the details if you are interested.
Also, I am offering a $200 bounty to anyone who can find this spoiler for me. I am willing to pay $1000 for the spoiler and carbon fiber Gurney flap. The bounty will be paid once the spoiler is confirmed authentic and in my possession.
This Gurney flap, but the high mount Abflug spoiler below. I will pay a $100 for the Gurney flap alone.
