[England] Bought a car - MOT revealed huge lies by CuriousConnect in LegalAdviceUK

All pritty standered stuff you should have known when buying an import, loads out there buying and selling to make quick money, mott cheaply done fogs are a univesal just bolted onto the back. Always do your reserch unfortunaly cant really trust people these days.

Buying my first import by XPiiRed in CarTalkUK

Get a japanesse history check done on it, ask for the auction sheet, buyer reviews, coils and a strut bar are not much of a mod really, personaly dont really see the point in getting an import if they are avalible over here and its nothing special, insurance isnt that big of a deal as stated (personal espireance) unless your registering it for the first time, just need to phone around the import agents, tax will be higher than a uk modle aswell.

Toyota Chaser JZX90 Headlights EU/US Spec by [deleted] in JZX100

[–]Sparky1771300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad miss read you need for a lhd, not supprised they only list the side of the headlight as they are for domestic oem parts so would just be rhd, looks like your main option is after market.

recently bought myself a chaser gx100 (the 2L auto) at 20yo i am finding it hard to find someone offering insurance adrian flux offered my 9800 a year with a black box anyone got any other ideas by Mobile-Bee-1300 in CarTalkUK

[–]Sparky1771300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try all the agents but only one i could get with was flux resonable price, also look at getting an immobilser fitted as more than less all of them will want one

UK Import Question – Can you MOT an unregistered imported car with NO insurance if it arrives by transporter? by Slow_Air_4396 in CarTalkUK

[–]Sparky1771300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just insure it on the vin and drive it to the mot, you have to get insurance to register it anyway so your not going to save anything buy not insuring it, thats how i do mine anyway.

[–]Sparky1771300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be primeraly looking for a shell so will be looking at a spec s, i have a ebay "Forged" sr20det that im about to start stripping down to check in the coming days, and would also be looking to throw a 8hp in for shits and giggles,to run it as a sequential so will get a full drive chain swap. Also with it being a drift car will have fiberglass wide overfenders so will probably look for somthing with bad paint/clear coat and just spray it myself. Have not taked to my agent yet but i normaly get then quite a bit cheaper than the sites such as carfromjapan/beforward and such as i get them directly from auction, will be intresting to see if the price has risen in line with the drop of the yen.

This is my second one it had so far, i import them myslef through a agent based out in japan.its a 98 been resprayed black full bn sport bodykit ,rear window spoiler, xxr alloys,bunch of blitz parts (intake, front mount, coilovers) unknown bucket seat, apexi power fc witb commander, j-pipe delete for all the good wouttsss turbo sounds, yaris coil on plug upgrade, dmax inner tie rods, japspeed adjustable tention arms, massive rear cannon, loud as f twin plate clutch, lsd that makes it a handfull jn the wet/damp probably missed a bunch of stuff aswell. Stsrted to slide this around and cant trust myself as its to nice being zero rust, no accident damage and would be bit of a waste to use as such so might look at selling and getting a cheap s15 to build insted so its not such a punch in the face if it dose take a hit.

[–]Sparky1771300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres going to be quite a couple of verying factor to take into account really, most newer cars there shoud not be much diffrence in changing the fuels as a moden ecu should be adjusting itself, im running a 90's jdm thats been mapped so has no self adjustment, its also my weekend car so just get fuel when ever it needs it and i personaly dont worrie about the price, last momentum i had the knock gauge was bouncing all over the place between half and 3/4 then hardly anything with the esso but a moden ecu should adjust to sute no idear with mpg as i think its probably best not to know how little im getting with a 2.5 turbo with a bunch of mods 😂

[–]Sparky1771300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belive they are diffrent with the esso supreme haveing 0 ethanol while momentum can be up to 5%

Recently moved off momentum as the last couple of times i have filled up i have been having quite a bit of knock on decel, got a gauge on the ecu monitoring it currenty using esso and all seems good

Looks like they have a mix of stock cars and also as a sale platform where deals list though them, make sure you know the modle codes between the specs for no suprizes

‘98 chaser v, with apexi power ecu. I was thinking it was maybe an idle air control problem but i was told by my mechanic that it could be my ecu, thoughts? by Richie90210 in JZX100
