As some of you know we have managed to buy a Hayashi Roadster.
For you that don't know, Body Shop Hayashi is more of a custom design shop than a tuner per say, Jack Hayashi the owner, designs a lot of concept cars and has entered them at the annual Tokyo Auto Salon. He has won a few awards for his designs as well.
His first Eunos related design was the "Hayashi Roadster", a sleek black roadster that had a unique style of its own.
Hayashi punched the stock 1.6 out to 1.8 litres, added light weight forged pistons, a mild cam with adjustable sprockets, and did a little head work (himself, of course) reshaping the combustion chambers. With the help of a reprogrammed ECU and some stronger valve springs, the engine is now good for 9000rpm.
He could do the conversion for about £9,000 and then you could have the lights for an extra £1,200, wing mirrors £300, rear lights and spoiler.
There was a thread about them a while back and here is the link for all of you to see and read.

But anyway our one,
I managed to find it on eBay as the owner was going to break it, we went over wanting the body kit and wheels (not knowing what it was at the time) then decided not to go for the car due to it having a bit of rust, i told hooligan and james madabout and they thought it might be a Hayashi, we looked much deeper into it all and confirmed it was 100% a Hayashi (thanks guys). So we went back to the owner and agreed on a price and took it off his hands. It is sitting on Pansport G7 C8R's which are staggered, 225 at back (9j i think) and 205 at front, we will get them refurbished then they will look stunning. I don't think it has its original engine so if it doesn't we might put our 230hp turbo engine and running gear into it, the car needs a lot of tlc but it should be do able, then it will be one of not many Hayashi Roadsters (well it is now but you get my point) in existence, they are rare in japan let alone uk and the rest of europe.
Any way the pics
