When we last left her, Synthia was once again at Wheels in Motion to fix a knocking noise that had come about since we had installed the new exhaust system. Bigger brakes and breathing modifications had otherwise transformed the experience of driving the car. You can refresh your memory on part 2 here.

Sometimes, cars come into your lives in the most unexpected of ways. This was definitely the case with Prytaneia. At the time, I had sold the XJR, just had Synthia and Aethyia, and on the whole, I felt like I had a very complete garage for most of my needs. A small nimble roadster to take around country lanes, and a larger 4wd wagon to take on longer trips or when I needed more space.

Shortly after selling the XJR for lack of use, despite thoroughly enjoying driving on the country lanes in Synthia, I started to miss a faster, more practical car and went on the hunt for something 4 seater, and a little bit faster. I stumbled across Aethyia on the Facebook market place. At the time she was owned by an aircraft mechanic in the American Airforce stationed at one of the RAF bases near Cambridge.

A few months ago, I had written a brief update on what had been going on which had distracted me from writing over the past few years, and one of the key points of that was my journey back into modified Japanese cars. The car that re-started that particular hobby was this little unloved Eunos I found on Autotrader (a UK car listings website) and decided to buy as a fun little project.
