Far out, love it dude.

 

Those Watanabes just freakin' rock. :ban:

what is a set of watanbes worth? I'm gathering they've suffered from takumi tax aswell?

mine were about $300, they were looking pretty average when I got them. All black and corroded. They were a replacement set after my original ordered set of RS8's went missing between Japan and Brisbane.

 

Pic from when I started refinishing them... one sandblasted and rim polished, another sandblasted and etch primed, top two in original condition:

I've been toying with the idea of investing in a forced 4AGE rather than a 5K. How's it run with the smallport head? or have you done a swap? Would be interesting to see whether there is much power difference between it and a 4AGZE turbo rig. Any trouble running without oil squirters so far? There's so many other cars around that are blown without them that I've never fully understood why 4AGE people immediately shun at the idea of it, is it the ceramic top pistons?
