Hi guys, My name is Mike (Mick, Michael, its all good) and I currently live in Brisbane. I've been on and around here (driving club) a while now but here is my introduction thread.

Where to begin? I started wanting a hachi in 2002 when I worked for Hobbyco in Sydney, most Sydney guys should know it. Anyway, with all the models that came into the store, this one model kept appearing and confusing me.

I had never seen it before but I'm a sucker for pop-up lights, eventually I asked one of the Japanese guys who worked there at the time what it was and he explained all about it and it went from there. Recently I finally bit the bullet, 5 years of whining about them to anybody who would listen and it was time to do something about it. So i searched a while and eventually contacted a man you may know - Pro K.

Pro helped me from the get go! I gave him a budget and he nearly sent me photos of sweet Trueno's every day. After a couple Panda's that he said he didn't want to buy because they weren't up to his standard, he drops one on me and BAM I'm in love so I send him the cash.

What can I say? lets start withs mods:

175,500KM
AIR CON
LSD
FRONT COILOVERS WITH AFTERMARKET SHOCKS AND SPRINGS
CUSCO CAMBER TOPS
REAR AFTERMARKET SHOCKS AND SPRINGS
FRONT STRUT BRACE
AIR FILTER
NARDI STEERING WHEEL
EXHAUST - No extractors
EARTHING KIT
14" WATANABE WHEELS
FRONT MAZDA BRAKE UPGRADE

It landed in my hands on friday. Rocked up on the truck at around lunch and I finally had my hachi. At the moment I havent had a chance to take any extra pictures yet so the only ones I have are the ones predelivery, I'll have more for you soon but till then hopefully this tides you over:



















So thats it for now. Soon to be on the road and going strong. I havent had a good drive of it yet (for obvious reasons) so I don't have any thoughts on its handling yet. The car is clean though. I gave it a wash and a wax and there was one crack and a couple of patches on the roof where the clear has rubbed off and thats it! Could not be happier with the car, exactly what I had in mind myself and the more i look, the more I love the colour.

Hope you dig :2thumbs:
