What's this? It's fugging ACE whatever it is. I think it's a Suzuki Mighty Boy! Check the comedy brochure - my.reset.jp/~inu/ProductsDataBase/Products/SUZUKI/MIGHTY%20BOY/MIGHTY_BOY.htmI think the odd wheels are the style, but some people fit really skinny rear wheels for drifting purposes? Dunno! Those Mira Vans are ace, they're called a Mira Walkthrough Van and are designed for use as mobile businesses, e.g. selling food out of etc. However some people have fit Mira Turbo engines, don't fancy taking one through the twisties mind?

Spotted at the weekend, potential? We may not have got the crazy 550cc engines, but so what? It'd be easy enough to create the same look. We got that orange Fronte as an Alto here IIRC.

To be fair our non-turbo engines are probably better, I think the one in that Alto we got is about 800cc. And yep we got that orange one! We got loads of all kinds, but they've kind of disappeared as they were just runarounds for somebody.

Suzuki Altos can be serious fun, enquiring about a Honda N600 a guy told me about an Alto Works he had, that'd he wasn't really selling outright but would sell me if I was interested. Exported and re-imported to get round bhp regs it had been shipped over here as a demonstrator and had about 5,000 km on the clock. Turbo'd 660cc + AWD = ace fun. There's one on the latest Gran Turismo I think?

There's a newer type Alto Works in GT4, that one is late 80s to mid 90s (there's 3 different generations of ones with those round lights and I can never tell the difference). If it's 4WD it'll be an RS/R - would seem there's long been arguments about whether the 4WD RS/R or FWD RS/X is the better car (4WD is inevitably slightly heavier). It'll either have an F6A or K6A engine (F6A early type, K6A later type, K6A has a bit more torque), the same as used in the Suzuki Cappuccino, a 3 cyl turbo monster that can be pretty easily taken to 120hp, about the ultimate best you'd be able to get out of one is 150-200hp if you put a better turbo on. The Suzuki K6A is one of the best Kei engines going and probably the easiest to get any sort of tuning bits for. Improve the breathing, increase the fuelling and boost slightly (with neccesary bigger intercooler etc.), done. Most modified ones don't involve doing anything with the stock engine because they're so well developed already, it's all about the turbo and exhaust bits. Snap it up!!
