Time that the door wedge gets a small write up.
What started as a "subtle topic change" yahoo japan link from the rgvfast while i was in madrid turned out to be an importational near nightmare. He send the link "this should make 600rwhp" So i bought it. It was sitting in sapporo (top top of japan) and after visiting there swore that would never buy a car from that snowfield. WRONG
Came in a container with a stack of chicken rotassaries and a 350chev... hanging on the roof. me and vicki saw it in japan and it was immaculate.
DONT HANG YOUR CAR ON A ROOF UNLESS YOUR PREPARED TO RESPRAY IT WHEN IT GETS HERE.
After a lengthy import approval process... For a b -reg car you need to get a l3 cams license. This involves a $400 fee, medical exam, written exam, lecture and a trip in a hire car around the wanneroo with John Hurney, WA'S cams main man. Then you get the l3 and you can apply for a b-reg import approval. 3-4 months realistic turnaround, but can be done quicker once you do the groundwork
Ran a 10.2 in japan uphill on mickey thompson 285s on ~2 bar and no doubt race fuel. with standard brakes. which are like cheesecutters
