Colin and I share a passion for Yamauchi-san’s personal cars which were modified by Opera. Colin is one of our newest hires at Bulletproof and we actually found him from a post on this blog looking for a new member for our team. Colin recently put together a scan of an old Sport Compact Car article featuring a great writeup of three of Yamauchi-san’s heavily modified personal cars! To those of you who enjoyed the feature I did on chassis tuning on the Opera S2000, I think this is a great follow up. SCC does it far better and in more depth than I ever can.

James Tate and the SCC team put together a beast of a feature back in the day with this. Credit goes to them.
