After a brief conversation with atlex earlier he asked me about my avatar pic which I actually knew nothing about, quick google and youtube about it turned up some info. For anyone who doesn't know its a GT300 car which I think ran in around 1997 run by a team called NOPRO. It is 13b'd and very cool, I will be looking a bit more I think because it is awesome. Video of noises  |

I'd never heard of nopro until this week  very interesting. Cool to see an NA chassis out infront of all those GT cars too. |

rotary mx5 just seems right. lightweight, small engine in a lightweight, small car
the guy who painted my car in boat colours has a 13b in an NA and it sounds veeery naughty

That is a shame! Doesn't seem to be a great deal about it online (but then I am fairly terrible at stalking and all similar internet activites). It's pretty cool none the less, and makes some nice noises. I do have a soft spot for the Tom's supras as well with those blanked out lights and little spots   |

Absolutetly love the NoPro mx5s, I think it's the best looking aggressive kit for them, the mk2 kits not quite as nice, still good though.
SuperGT had/has the best looking cars, the old GT500 NSX, Supra and R34 were the things of childhood dreams.
The GT300 class has produced some amazing looking machinery as well, MR-S, Prius, CRZ and BRZ to name a few (on top of the mx5 obviously).

This is the GT300 BRZ, the tech in it is impressive, full inboard suspension etc and the most important yellow headlights. I'm fairly sure GT300 is performance balanced to GT3/GTE rules now, as there's 458s and the like racing in the GT300 class, shame we don't get any of these or the others coming over here. www.speedhunters.com/2012/09/the-gt300-brz/ |

Who says hybrids can't be cool, CRZ vs Prius.  Just look at the back end of the CRZ!  |
