No no no.... Think you will find that's discrimination ;)

The cars guna just have the recent mods taken off such as coilovers, wheels and tyres, spoiler, seat and rails, charge speed lip, rear toe arms, zebras... (possibly one or two other small things, I'd need to go through the list properly)...

The bits will be shipped over here and the car will be sold..

I think I will be getting a lad who I used to work with and who now rents my part of the shed (where the car is) to strip
it, his mate is interested in buying it once its stripped I've give him two options,

1: the car as I bought it but essentially with a rebuilt strong engine, different exhaust, braided hoses and all new brakes (ds2500's).............

2: the same as above however on the black VTIS wheels with P1 front lip............

(Anyone who wants to let me know what they think it's worth in those two instances please do)

The car still has a small amount of MOT on it and I'm pretty sure it would go through again, maybe a cat would be needed depending on where it's tested..

So that's the plan anyways..

Well I thought owning another lude would help me get over this car but it has had the reverse affect and I now realise just how good this car was/is :? ...

I don't think I can actually sell it now :| :lol: ...
Miss the colour, the power, the looks, the handling, how clean the interior is and all the little JDM extras :oops:

Oh well best start saving :arrow:

where about in Australia are you mate?
I think the rule is you can bring the car over here as a personal import as long as the car has been under your ownership for 12 months+.

Each state over there has their own rules on importing cars... :roll:
