I dunno why, but I have to have this...
Anyone have ANY experience with anything like this? I'm thinking run it till the engine blows and swap in a Hyabusa engine.

might be getting close to the 25 year rule but parts will be a bitch.
I want one too.
I discovered those in-person on my one trip to Japan in 02 (good lord, that's almost 10 years now). I pretty much went into full-on nerd mode.
Because it's light and ugly? That's usually why I like stuff.
Don't forget the hotrodded version.
The Greddy VI-AZ1.

In reply to modernbeat:
Amemiya cars are so subtle. 
Uses a Suzuki F6A engine, a turbo 660cc three pot.
Same as found in the Cappuccino and Alto Works. Not much available in suspension for the AZ-1 compared to either of the Suzuki's as it was more expensive, more rare/collectable. Less likely to have been flogged to death however.
Man, I LOVE those. A guy on another forum I occasionally visit has one, in proper eyeball-searing yellow to boot. But they are TINY... apparently if you are over about 5'10" you won't fit. I am just 5'10" and about 83 kg on a good day, I think I just might have a shot!
I love kei cars. That AZ-1 and the Suzuki Cappuccino
are two I really love.
I'm awfully partial to the Honda Beat!
Street legal go-kart?

You're an shiny happy person... But I love you. LOL I wonder how much boost that little motor can actually handle...

I helped push that exact one out of a snow filled street last winter. He has a few cool cars.

DAMN!! I had a feeling I would be too tall for those tiny cars at 6'.

Wow, you're all over this aren't you? Anyone got $7500 I could borrow? LOL
Yes, needs Hayabusa motor...
...with boost.

I could not agree more. I'm trying to get my dealership to buy it and finance it to me. LOL Just don't have that cash sitting around right now.

In reply to Conquest351:
Feed the need. I would LOVE to park one in the driveway . . .
I found one already. This is what made me so interested...
