A white S15 convertible (Sexy, SEXY. I didn't even know they existed, yes I did check to see if it was an S13 with a front/rear end conversion, no it was a proper S15.)

Yeah i knew of them, but i didn't think they were eligable for compliance?? oh well good to see it made it, must have come in under the rule about owning it in japan for a year or whatever (how do 2 door WRX's get here?)

sweet mother of god if that was my girl i will be so proud :geek: normally everyone see's her but she doesnt seem to ever see them. I am sure when she gets home tonight she will tell me if she did see anyone :blush:

think 2 door rexes were allowed for a brief period - something like 400 only?

spotted a black r33 near curtin, driven by a girl - gave/got a wave

I know the rexes you're talking about, the ones with the big WRX sticker on the bootlid from japan only 400 were imported, and all were 4 doors

got it in a hot 4s mag somewhere

bahaha i just rang her then and asked her she is like ummm not that i know of and then she was like yea i did but i thought they were wanting to move into a different lane or something she said it was near a roundabout or a set of lights ???

anyways sounds like she might have waved even if it was unintentional :(

Almost correct-22B,only five came to Aus'. Subaru kept one,the other four went unregistered to private buyers at $110,000 each...

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
