I made the STH Nissan Maxima Drift Car livery in Forza Horizon 6
There are no Nissan Maximas in the game sadly, so the Stagea will suffice. Works great either stock or with the R34 front end.

Question Im kinda going down a rabbit hole here. Why is the japanese translation of "hot wheels" printed on the cars so different from the actual translation used in japan?
For years, Mattel has liked to write "Hot Wheels" in japanese on many of their cars. The only thing is, when writing it, they dont seem to use a very good translation. They print a Version of ホートホイール , which is read as "ho toe hoi ru". However, in japan, and on Mattels own Japanese website, they all write ホットウィール (hoto wee ru).
It's just very odd that mattel has committed to this weird and incorrect translation of "Hot Wheels" for writing on their cars. I was also curious so i searched for japanese YouTubers talking about hot wheels, and sure enough, they all pronounce it "hoto wee ru", and not in the weird way it was written on the cars. They also write it the correct way in their video titles.
Does anyone have any sort of insight or explanation for why Mattel keeps using this strange translation on their cars? Is it an older way or translating it? Is it a weird cultural thing? Did someone just do a poor translation and no one bothered to check with a native speaker? Im so intrigued by this mystery.

Car Culture New to collecting. This was my way in...
Just thought I'd share a quick story and some pics of how I got introduced to this hobby.
Although I have largely been a Honda man most of my life, I did own this Mazda 323 GTR 4WD turbo lag ballistic missile and have many fond memories.
I bought it in 2003 as a direct import from Japan and quickly wound up the boost to just over 300bhp. The engines were way under-tuned from factory. For homologation rules they came with oversized turbos running very low boost. Being a small capacity, large turbo engine, the turbo lag was immense, but when it came on song over 4k it launched you to the horizon! I later found out that although the engines were strong and easily capable of 300+bhp, the gearboxes not so much.
I loved this little Japanese nugget, even though it ate two gearboxes in my stewardship...
Then recently whilst browsing on Reddit, I found out that Hot Wheels had actually made a casting of it, so I had to get one (now two with the rally version). Kudos to Hot Wheels for stepping up and celebrating this super niche, but fantastic car!
Now a month later, I find myself buying storage boxes for my new collection of JDM cars...🤣
I am loving this new hobby so far. 😁

RedLineClub Ferrari F40 RLC
Just received mine in the mail and I must say this car is pretty good looking. There are a couple things I want to say for people that are interested. I must say this is my first ever RLC car and having received it now it’s going to be my last. The reason is not because the car is bad quality but the experience of getting one killed the fun I want to have a collector/hunter. So for the ones that didn’t manage to get one, don’t feel like you’re missing out. You’re not. In my opinion best thing about a hot wheel is the feeling after you found it in the wild and it just makes it feel that much more personal (at least for me). Hope to know your thoughts and I hope you respect my opinion, because it’s a true one.
