Here's a step-by-step process to acquiring an SR clip. Of course, it requires you to be in Japan, first :D:p

1. Wander around a junkyard until you stumble upon a clean S13... You probably won't be wandering long...

2. Unbolt the front end pieces

3. Grab a Sawz-all and saw away...

4. That's right... Keep sawing... Right across the windshield...

5. Voila! One less S13 Silvia :( and yet one more SR clip for the US

Repeat process with the 180SX you find mere seconds later...

And finally this:

Afterwards, take a walk through the woods to relax...

Hmmm... Even in the woods you can't escape the SR

Why does it scare me that he's messing w/ a car that has another car sitting on top of it? Just looks kinda odd. Interesting way of saving space in the yard though!

He's enjoying sawing that S13 in half WAY too much! :p

you say that like we're supposed to be jealous of them having a MX-3 look-a-like. haha. :p

i've always wondered how they get clips. i've always thought they were a little more careful than carefree. my friend showed me a S15 clip he has at his shop and that thing looked all tore up. just imaging someone happily cut away on a S15... :(

also, those ppl enjoyed cutting those cars a little too much. do they think they're gonna do something as cool as in Monster Garage? hehe.

You also just explained how all those other companies get thier rims.
They need to start sending over more of those rims with those clips, and somewhere other than California.

Anyways some sexy cars they got there, and I see a wangan spoiler that could use a new home :D, too bad I'm homeless :(

As I pointed out on another board, look closely at the blue Silvia that's shown getting cut up; it's a CA18DE Q's :D Pretty but slooooooow...

Edit: hey Vadim did you notice that the car behind the Silvia in the first pic is a Mk3 VW? At least I think it is. VWs aren't all that unpopular there, maybe someone should start importing ABF 16v clips from Japan...

I know. It looks out of place there, doesn't it? Especially w/ the "Official Pace Car" graphics on the door. I can't believe Japan got those! It just seems odd to me for some reason.

some of those cars look perfectly fine, i guess they get more money for selling the clip to the US than to resell it there :confused:

damn that is kinda sad... the really sad part to me is the insane profit the importers are making now at 2400 a clip.

the cost of owning an "OLD" car in japan is more than it's worth, thousands of dollars (yen? ha) in taxes every year, it's how japan keeps people buying new cars... they have tons of laws about old cars to make them not worth driving. it's part of Japanese failing economic situation... like, Houses NEVER increase in value in Japan, because who wants an old house? right? ha... those crazy Japanese, what will they think up next?
