The car had 75,000kms on her when imported from Japan. Now sitting on 115,000kms with no mechanical issues.
I try to do all the work on the car myself and occasionally (when ive got some cash spare) i show up for a bit of autocross or track racing.

130kw at the wheels, according to my last dyno run. No major mechanical mods and the interior is stock standard.

Actually there is plenty of JDM here. It's just in different cars, not one at the same time. ;)

The EZ30 is a fairly rare engine regardless, it doesn't sell in the same high numbers as the boosted EJ257.
