Found some pics of a Widey I had for a short time in Japan . Sorry about pic quality , they're scanned .
This car was a 1990 model and I had it in 2001 . I'd bought it on a trip over there with the intention of importing it but the Aussie Govt. said no :glare:
so I had to sell it after 6 months of paying for storage etc. . . .

Anyway , it had only 45000k's on it and although it was filthy in these pics , was absolutely mint . I just about got a nosebleed the first time I saw it . Had brand new Simmons wheels , brand new HKS adjustable coilovers , HKS F-conV ECU , HKS guages , 8 speaker Carrozerria stereo and satellite navigation , Ralliart pedal set , strut brace , HKS Blow off valve , BIG stainless exhaust , Ralliart cam , U.S market bumper , and a partridge in a pear tree .

Went like a dream and drove like new . Seeing all these nice black ones being brought over here now has made me a bit nostalgic

What is that for an exhaust?

That exhaust looks very dodgy!
Otherwise very nice. I wonder who has it now?

Looks like it only has one silencer in it...

exhaust was one of those crazy adjustable ones where when its under load it unloads the second silencer. like a late mazda 929

The exhaust was very good quality , the muffler was HKS too from memory . Many modified cars in Japan use removeable silencers in the mufflers as you have to realize it's very crowded over there and a neighbour with a noisy car would be lynched .

As for the HKS suspension , I don't know but when I go back I can look into it .

that's a babe of a car :beer

hks coilovers.... *drools*

and those wheels are, dare i say it, perfect for it..

and 1990? so this would be one of the last ones before the "starion gto"?

Yeah , the wheels REALLY suited it . The HKS coil overs had just been fitted when I got it , all the original suspension was stuffed into the HKS boxes and was on the back seat so I had both .

1989 was kinda supposed to be the end of production but it continued partly into 1990 , one reason was that the GTO was way behind schedule . In any case , there aren't too many 1990's around .
