The pursuit against modified cars is such bullsh*t these days.

Everything that is not stock is basically banned or within stupid limits. I mean what do they all expect us to do, buy a Ferrari or other high powered sports cars that can reach ridiculous speed heights anyway? And yet we get into trouble for changing the way our air is collected through our system, making our car "shiny" or the height of our ride among countless others, its just beyond to joke.

I mean ordinary car enthusiasts, who don't street race, can't even have a nice car these days.

Comments such as these "keep the mods within the legal limits and you'll be fine" doesn't mean that you won't be relentlessly hassled by the police or any type of media trying to wreck our hobby. This to, will soon be non-existent, because the way lawmakers are going, the complete ban on customizing a vehicle is on the horizon.

I for one believe that if you are going to modify your car, you should pay a yearly fee or tax estimated by the amount of horsepower output you have (that should make some happy) and then do whatever you like to it (because it's our money that are being spent on our cars, not anyone else s).

Because the police have, and will have high tech equipment that will catch anyone doing the wrong thing, because I'm sure in the future the speeds of our cars on highways etc... will be monitored by advanced satellites.

I mean what has happen to the thought that they are one of human's greatest ever achievement instead of some ruthless killing machine.

But what i am thinking, that's a perfect world that will never exist. :laugh:

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
