Where are all the crazy Japanese SVXs?
Seriously, they have everything from tuned K-cars, Fits, Corollas, to strange cars like the Cosmos and S12 200sx. Where are all the crazy JDM SVXs? The only link I've seen to the car is my amazing 920hp SVX in Maximum Tune Midnight Wangan 3
 Even that one still uses a 4EAT tho

Re: Where are all the crazy Japanese SVXs?
The company I work for imports a lot of heavy equipment from Japan and while one of our contacts was visiting I started talking to him about cars. It turns out that he is pretty into them and apparently has a Golf with like 30k in mods into it. I showed him my SVX and he asked me what it was. I started explaining about the car and he tells me he has never even seen one in Japan and thought it wasn't even sold there! I don't think everyone over there is the same however it kind of lead me to believe they are not very popular in Japan. I have not lived there myself so I cannot say for sure though.

Re: Where are all the crazy Japanese SVXs?
They must had been popular over there one time.. coz the amount of ex JDM svxs we got sent here aye. and some one would had to paid full new price for them.
i would love to see some drifting svxs or etc with 100k spent on them. ive heard since alot of the japanese only have room for one car, they tend to spend alot more money on there car. seen skylines fitted with titanum bonnet stays to save that lil bit of weight that alone was $1000 dollars.then you see thousens more spend on engines gearboxs gagdes etc. with alot of people here etc tends to have there normal car and there toy so dont have have as much money to spend on there toys etc

Re: Where are all the crazy Japanese SVXs?
There have been a few posted here that were done up pretty crazily, but I don't think they were from Japan. One from Germany, I think, and another in the U.S. The only standout from Japan that I know of is the Cloud car.
I think just like here, the dismal aftermarket for our cars kept the modding community from picking them up and trying things.
