[@valk13yrie]

the miata bro tax is the most absurd thing ever.

[@MYDODGEYUTUBENAME]

🔥 I have to correct you. In Australia the Spec S and Spec R are basically the same identical car (both are Spec R's). The Spec R had a sunroof and bodykit and steering wheel that distinguished it from the Spec S. People who didn't want a sunroof, bought the Spec S. So let me rephrase. Australia: Known as the 200SX. All S15's brought into Australia from Japan are turbo SR20DET Spec R's. The S badge went on the cars that didn't have a sunroof. Japan and NZ: Spec R and Spec S are different cars. Spec R are turbo. Spec S are non turbo. The JDM Spec S was the budget no thrills version. JDM Spec R had all the options.

I love the look of the S15 so much! Back in gran turismo 2 days I built mine with the ethos of a JDM camaro. That’s what it is to me, a JDM camaro for sure! The US would for sure build a heavier version with bigger engine (unnecessary Chevy….) it would be cool if the turbo 4 cylinder Camaro 1LE of today was 1,000lbs lighter, I would want that if they would build it. I want an S15 with an RB25DET, so should I just get a GT-T skyline?

Since it is now 2024. I can confidently say the Spec-S are relitively cheap.(er). An auto with the winter package (gives it the limited slip dif) un-nutured is around $12k not including taxes, and registration costs. To manual swap, a used trasmission goes for around 275,000 yen (give or take $1,750 plus shipping. Its really not out if this word pricing at this point and time. I believe as time goes on, they will go up in price. I just bought a 99 s15. It was $14,500 including all the fees. Has around 77,000 km.

As an importer myself the reason they raise the value on Supra’s, Skyline’s, Silvia’s, (etc) is because if they don’t there will be no market for the cars anymore if they are selling at a low price. That’s why the price jumps up by 10-15% every year.
