Sound is awesome ! Seems like you are driving a super car 🚗! And do you still own it ?

It was a really great sounding car! That 9k RPM redline was just sublime. Unfortunately, I sold the car before moving back to the US, and I actually really miss it, it was a great little car!

Just wanted to make a comment about your "Gasoline" site but there was no where to leave a message. In your Mazda Cosmo pages you show pics of a '29 Chevrolet. The number plate is from New Zealand, a right hand drive country, and the car was probably imported there from Canada, under Commonwealth import arrangements. Most New Zealand Chevs, including my uncle's bought-new 1938 sedan, were from Canada with some of the special bodied versions coming from Australia. Great work on your cars. I've just read the Bellett story from start to finish.
There is a Honda Life Touring GS collecting dust in a garage not far from where I live (in Fukuoka). At around 6'3" I can barely fit in a kei-tora, so I have my doubts as to whether I'll even fit in a 1st-gen Life. I see from this video that your knees are quite far forward - just wondering how tall you are. And what the headroom is like (or if you have to slouch to fit). TIA for any info.

Nice! The GS was what I essentially turned this SL into by swapping the 5-speed dogleg GS transmission into it. That's an excellent little car. The car was actually a bit more spacious than standard kei trucks, but it's still very tight. Having said that, I used this oen as my daily driver for almost a year and I'm 6'4" tall, so at 6'3" there's a good chance you'll fit in it.

I replace it with 5speed missions. I do my life. It is easy to keep a power band and is nice.

The 5-speed transmission is a really great balance with the high-revving 2-cylinder engine!

1st and 2nd gear sounds like they are very close gear ratios. So in theory u could start of in 2nd. On a flat surface. I’ve come from this video kzitem.info/news/bejne/laaNra2niKGnmYo

Yup, they're very close ratios. It makes some very exciting driving down shifting into 2nd for tight corners! Flavien is an awesome dude! I've hung out with him nay times in Osaka and he's shipped a few cars over for me too!
