firstly its only worth $200,000 and secondly it was mostly stripped of parts prior to crushing. don't believe the hype. the same shit happens in Australia when customs catches illegally imported cars. I know of one compliancer under the old CPA scheme who had roughly $150,000 worth of Rav4's crushed for illegally importing them without approvals.

Also keep in mind that the money to buy these cars don't come from hard earned wages. they come from drugs, prostitution and other illegal sources. f**k em, if you don't set a precedent the cockjockeys will never get the message.

Pulling a stunt like that requires big balls, especially in a place like Thailand, the people involved took a huge punt and got caught out. This is the same government that censors/blocks google and youtube... they're not afraid to enforce the law to the letter of the word.

this has no relation to the GDP of the country, the people involved in this are richer than a lot of people in australia... there's a very big economic imbalance in these regions. Even if that car was auctioned not a cent of it would have gone back to the people. It'd merely have channeled itself back into a politician/official's pocket or the perps themselves.

      Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
