OTHERS: JDM-Neighberhood Part II

You might or might not remember these cars i shot in my neighberhood a few months ago. I use to drive by these companies every now and then and i still feel pretty damn sorry about those nice cars rotting away and now the “other” cars they have laying around for months outside with nothing happening appeared so i thought i’d show you the rare cars that just are rotting away due to different reasons (I’ll explain):
P1090473 - Kopie

first we have a nice RX-7 Efini on pretty rare mazdaspeed wheels (by Rays). This car has been imported from UK (what i believe) with a bunch of other JDM cars but actually the so-called tuning company didn’t manage to get them registered (it’s complicated in switzerland but possible) so since then it’s standing in snow and raind and any other weather and just rotting away. If i had the money i’d buy it immediately and rebuild it – that’s for sure!P1090478 - Kopie

the company seems to be specialized on supras but i actually never saw their 1200 HP MKIV run and somehow i heard a lot of bad stuff about the owner (don’t know if it’s true). Anyway, as a car-lover i just can’t justify a MA70 Supra turbo sitting in the raind and stuff for months without the hood installed properly… things like this suck, as these cars have become rare!P1090482 - Kopie

Moving on to the other company which also once imported a few JDM-cars (i think from UK too). One is a daily-driven non-registered R32 GTS on Garage-numberplates (doesn’t need registration). the other one is this Celica gt-four. haven’t seen it in a while but it’s also non registrated and running on garage-numberplates. The fact that these have been available here too makes it pretty easy to register them, wonder why they don’t do it and sell it???P1090487 - Kopie

Together with the silver R32 mentioned above they also own this one. I thought they’ve sold it (as i thought with the celica above) but a few days ago i drove by with the bycicle and figured out nothing ever happened to the cars and they’re just rotting away in the backyard. like this white GTS with a lot of dents in the hood:P1090496 - Kopie

Behind the Skyline there was this cool car, probably also sitting there for a few years – An oldschool Corolla Deluxe sedan in factory blue paintjob:P1090503 - Kopie

Wonder what plans are for this car, but as i know the company they’ll just let it rot there until someone will buy it.P1090502 - Kopie

the best thing about it: It’s rollin’ on what i believe are pretty rare oldschool toyota Optional wheels – loving them 🙂P1090501 - Kopie

Also got some work done on my EK9 but i’ll show you tomorrow maybe 😀

    That red RX7 has ben listed for sale a few months ago, at a cheap price (for a RX-7). If i’d have the money and space i’d definitely save one of these cars, especially that little Toyota. Sad to see those rare cars just laying around and nobody takes care of them…

      Well yeah, have seen it for sale for 14 grand too. and i thought it was a nice price. but if you take a closer look and think about all the stuff that needs to be done it’s not that cheap compared to importing and registering one by yourself. I just think it’s too saad all those companies importing cars and than let them laly around in snow and hail outside.
