Now that's one well looked after 3200...

 

[Contigo]

Wow like new! Trust the Japanese to do that. No salt helps too!

 

[Trev Latter]

Isn't it just. Rare to see any car that clean underneath.

 

[Contigo]

Not in Japan!

Could have washed it first before filming. ..bet he is single btw.

looks very clean - given me a few ideas, just need a ramp

noticed at 1:06 a break disc air tube, is this standard on the 3200 ?

 

[Trev Latter]

I assume so. I have them on mine.

 

[EnzoMC]

I assume so. I have them on mine.

so removed on the 4200's... why

 

[Contigo]

Built to budget.

Built to budget.

you can be cruel sometimes phil, so cruel

 

[Trev Latter]

It's because our 3200s are faster.....or more likely, need to slow down more for the corners

 

[Contigo]

Hahaha need more venting of brakes as our cars run that bit faster so we need to apply heavier braking

 

[highlander]

that is cleaner than most 3 week old cars!
has it been driven and enjoyed as much as our "averagely" well taken care of examples though? I doubt it. personally it would be wasted on me because I would drive it and get stone chips and dirt on it!

 

[Trev Latter]

Great minds Phil

The thing is in Japan they have the most bureaucratic system for used car's known as Shaken and it is a little like our MOT but way more expensive and much stricter. This means that used cars are much better maintained and punters sell their cars just before this Shaken sells out and allow the dealers to sort out another 2 years. This car looks like it has been prepped and for sale with a dealer.

 

[Contigo]

15 for sale on a famous Japanese car sale site.

It will be the source of all the no corroded coupes soon as the salt and poor roads here destroy our prides and joys

L.H.D.? I thought Japanese cars had to be R.H.D., including imports?

Looks amanzingly clean and shiny but unless this car was prepped for sale I don't really see the point in this.
I believe these cars are meant to be driven hard and they actually need it.
Can you keep a car this clean in such conditions? I can't ahahah
I wash mine about once a month and have it detailed every year and always looks clean and shiny. I do keep it in a garage though
