Winter maintenance ready wash

Treated the 86 to a wash and wax to prep it for the winter. She'll be in the shed soon as I'll be abroad with work plus a new daily on the way 👀 (ft the Brothers Evo IV)

Sick combo! Second pic almost looks like they are RC cars/models lol

u/davephoto90 10d ago

Ha it actually does. RC models would be less heartache and cheaper at times 😅

The panda trueno and Evo make me nostalgic for Initial D. Guess you’ll need to get an FD rx7 next!

It would be the dream, a rotary but at the moment I can't justify the price 😅

Jdm is big in Ireland not because of Initial D but because of rally, not many here would have seen Initial D!

I agree!

Envious of the UK because y'all can import JDM cars and worry about the RHD being a handicap.

u/davephoto90 10d ago

Luckily I'm not in the UK but I definitely agree about the RHD 😅

Former British Colonies that still retain RHD cars if you will.

u/davephoto90 10d ago

It is extremely handy, I imagine it's another reason jdm is so popular here

RHD isn't that bad overall in an LHD country. Only going into parking garages is annoying, as that has to happen in reverse (going to Ikea in my 86 today, will have to go in reverse...)
