After a lengthy wait thanks to DOTARS and DEH while the specifics of the new  

De-gassing legislation were sorted, the MR2 is finally in my hands. For those interested, the service given by Prestige was excellent, the car arrived as described (with added dirt & filth from transport) and its lots of fun to drive.

Hey blitz,

Did the vehicle come str8 to pyrmont or did u go down to melbourne to pick it up?

And whats the deal with the air-con did u have to do it on-site at the warf b4 u get your hands on the car?.. If so how much did it cost to do?..

Have to find out a bit more about this new air-con legislation.. As one of my mates is thinking of doing it soon. But if the air-con prob gonna be a bitch then he might pass.

Ceffo: Car was delivered to Glebe Island dock - I drove straight in and picked it up.

Regarding aircon, the cars with the old non-compliant gas have to be de-gassed prior to shipping, with confirmation paperwork supplied and a copy of this should be sent to your customs agent if you are using one.

Its no big deal, there were just carying stories going round after I purchased te MR2 so we needed to confirm exactly what the process was before sticking it on the boat.

From memory the de-gass is around $150.00 but if you buy a car from Prestige this cost is already factored into the total cost of the car.

lwells, yep - car is being serviced, detailed and rego'd then offered for sale for the right price IF I decide against it as my daily driver.

I wasnt a huge fan of the styling either, but the combination of a small & nible car, targa top, supercharged etc etc was too good to pass up

My neighbour got one just recently .. he imported under 15 year rule.. sweet ride..

It was looking veeerrryy old school.. had a full kit, suspension. 16'' mags .. he said it cost him 10K on road.

Funny thou how his wife drives a 2000 model BMW and he drives a car that is 15 years old.. :)

cef.

    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
    • Thanks guys - I have been overseas for a hectic many weeks , so haven't had time to chase any of these up.  Some of the suggestions are for 4.1 ratio, which I already have, and a 3.5 at Lonsdale, which is also too tall.  Really looking for 3.9 or even a 3.7 LSD, either with M12 bolts. Will look some more.
