@DSDave I now own this car! Have done since July 2019. The owner previous to me (you buyer, I believe) shared this post with me at the time of sale and I've just come across it again.

I really would like to reunite the car with its original Japanese paperwork as you show above. I have the folder but was told that a previous owner (I'm assuming you) held on to the rest. Would be more than happy to agree to let you have first dibs on the paperwork (and the car) should I ever decide to let her go, though I have no plans for that at the moment. Previous owner put some coil overs on. I've added a bar and seats (much like you did!) and went on a couple track days last year. I'm getting lots and lots of enjoyment out of the car.

If you're willing to discuss the paperwork further please let me know on here. It looks like you were active a year or so ago so I'm hoping this message finds you!




Thanks,

James.
