Thanks for the welcome, i guess it must be quite an early one, how would i tell if its an import? I thought it was a uk car but may be wrong.
It came with the original wired in phone though!
Got a few questions bout all the electricals in the boot though, i think the large black one on the right under the boot floor is for the phone but there is another larger box with lots of cooling fins on the left behind the seats, any idea what this is?
Thanks and ill keep my eyes open for you
Are there any stickers available?

What does it say on the plate next to the bonnet catch (or wherever it's located on the 4G)? If it's an import then the text will be Japanese.

EDIT: here above the pass. headlight (I assume it's the same location for all 4th gens, UK or import).

Ill check it out tomorrow and let you know if its an import,
And thanks for the 4ws answer, i bet alot of weight could be saved if the whole system were to be removed!
And ill figure out getting pics up soon, waiting for it not to be dark when im home to get some first though!

Just yesterday (I think) someone mentioned the weight thing, it really isn't that much. You'd lose more weight probably just giving the car to me to drive, I am a racing snake.

I am definately not a racing snake!
Im not really worried about weight loss i eat what i like ;)
Not really worried about weight loss on the car either, just wanted a good daily driver that was going to be fun and a bit different, oh and not too new, im not a fan of most newer cars always liked the older ones.

You can check, the plate by the passenger light as mentioned, the rear number plate surround is it more square or thin and long? Squarer type being import?
Where is the rear fog light located?
What is the engine code

There's a few ways to find out :)
