It isn't sourcing it is "Cut and Paste", dont know about your pricing just an extra 1,000 pounds for FOB fee but comment below on website is bothering.

"Is this car eligible for import?

Yes, we have checked this car and it is a model eligible for import under the SEVS compliance laws.

We have also allowed $4500 for compliance, which is a reasonably typical compliance price available for this particular model."

Have a look DOTARS LINK I dont see Ford Escorts on any workshops list as approved to comply.

Doesnt look that good an example hey....

He has deleted how many owners it has had and it aint the lux model cossy, although the earlier ones had the bigger turbo..

On the other hand it is cheap ish but remember uk cars suffer badly with rot, especially escorts around the subframes petrol cap etc

And i aint heard of straight line performance before either (and i know a lot of car dealers in the uk, or have heard of a lot good or bad).

Not got full history on a car like that??!!

There is a bloke that has escort Cossie compliance, but he stings hard, like 10k from memory.

Not sure how recent that website is, but there's no-one listed on the RAWS site as having plates to do Escort or Sierra/Sapphire...

Edit: you beat me to it Nigel...

PS: My Focus RS application has been officially knocked back by DoTaRS under SEVS, so it looks like I have to take one for the team and take them on in court...should be fun!

What possible reason could they have for knocking that back ?

Are you sitting down? Apparently a 2-door version of a 4-door vehicle counts as a separate model, but this is a 3-door version of a 5-door model.

Of course, this didn't stop them already approving the EP3 Civic Type R, the N15 Pulsar etc etc...

just be careful you don't end up getting them to overturn the EP3 TYPE R SEVS approval to make themselves consistent.....

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      Rear Sway Bar Busshings - Holden Astra TS (2002)

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.

      I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
