Horst Blim's Pride & Joy
It seems as though subtle modification is the name of the game in Germany. Horst Blim, whose FJ was previously included in Norbert Stephan's feature, has sent me these great shots. Interesting items include the wider rear rim (on ABS model), which is a modified XJR1300 wheel. The machined alloy torque arm and those attractive turned alloy 'mushroom' crash protectors. There's an XJR1300 collector and downpipes, with Durapipe silencers (believed to no longer be in production). To me these appear to follow the lines of the OEM exhausts nicely, retaining the looks of the standard fitments (without being black of course).

Since sending the last pictures, Horst has added another FJ to the Blim fold ! This pristine red, silver and white '88 3CW. He's fitted a 4 into 2 Devil exhaust system which looks pretty stunning, not to mention ' business-like' !
So it's a big thank you to Horst for sending these pictures and sharing his FJ.
