Random Parking Lot Scene In Japan: Monocraft Widebody ZZW30 MR-S

By Ben Schaffer

I miss Japan days of old. These days I see less and less of this hardcore stuff on the street in Japan, but back a few years ago I’d be amazed often while just walking down the street. I took this picture in a parking lot in Japan and that’s all that really needs to be said. The car pictured is a beautifully done Monocraft widebody ZZW30 Toyota MR-S. It even has a bag over the seat, so I think the owner just had it serviced or detailed.

Anyway, the Monocraft widebody is always a classic. It was kits like this and the natural light weight of the MR-S that always made me want to get one. This setup with a 300hp turbocharged engine would be a whole lot of fun.

cknarf, it depends on which widebody you’re talking about. Some are built with a purpose like the Amuse body kit for the S200. Most of the ones that people get are just for the looks but if you buy from companies like Amuse, Top Secret, C-west, etc. then you will buy a widebody that is built with a purpose to reduce brake heat, cut thru the air faster (some Buddy club kits take a half a second or even a second off compared to a stock body) and some help with getting air to the engine.

Widebodys are pretty cool in my opinion, but are they for looks only?
