Hallo aus Deutschland!

[Steve]

Hello fellow users!

I´m Stefan from west-germany, located at Ludwigshafen am Rhein. I have been into cars ever since, and i own a rover mini cooper from 1987 so i´m used to oldtimer stuff.

Initial D is the reason i wanted this damn 86 so hard, but they havent gotten cheaper in the past decade...so this dream stayed a dream for a very long time.

2 months ago i decided "fuck it, i´ll buy myself one" and started searching the internet, fb, whatever source i could find about getting my hands onto one of these splendid little cars. After browsing for days and days and searching through whatever japanese car dealer or auction site i was just about to abort the idea....the prices are staggering, for i was looking for a car that hasn´t been completley raped as a drifter/street racer and therefore no chance of being street legal here in germany.

I got in contact with a german guy whos living in japan and exporting cars to the DACH region, and we found a car that seemed to fit into my scheme.

Its a late 1985 Trueno hatchback with some mods like recaros, a momo steering wheel, blitz suspension, a strut bar, tinted windows. So far nothing to wild, (we´ll talk again when the car is here and the infamous TÜV, the german institution for making sure your car is not a deathtrap after all, has it approved) i bought it.

Until the car will be here, my days are filled with exploring the new rabbithole i´ve gotten myself into and thinking about which spareparts i should get first

As soon as i find out how to insert photos, i´ll do it

so long
