Mmmmmmm...Thats real nice, how much did that cost if you don't mind me asking, and whats up with the reg plate, seems a odd number?
cheers guys.................dotn worry about the plate, I'm waiting for its UK reg to come through any day now !! heheh The car was on the powerdrift website for £5300 if you ever saw. But lets just say that Steve is a thoroughly nice chap !
oh and did you notice the blue base of the passenger seat !! hahah that pesky blue interior stuff i cant seem to escape from ! the rest of the interior os black though luckily ! heheh
very nice mate, very nice indeed, still cant belive how much these cars are selling for its goin up an up an up! mint example tho
not to put Si in it - pm if you want me to edit Si - but i think its Cypriot "tourist-cough" plates.... I am working on a scamera free plan to register imports if anyone is interested pm or email me...its an investment but worth it in the long run..especially for non 10 year jap cars
Very clean looking example there buddy! Fair play! Im impressed with the AE92 inlet plenum chamber modification, very neat looking job to whoever done that in Japan! Get rid of the viscous fan though! Makes the AE86 sound like a spaceship from the front! haha
Yeah thats why i took a piccy of it close up to show the neat job done of the welding. So you didnt fit it to yours then? TBH I'm happy with the gearshift set up on there now, but thanks anyway. And cheers everyone for the comments, suprised no one has cussed me yet for the 3 spokes !! good thing they are pretty rare so I dont care LOL
lol its cool............yeah the plates signify the car being registered in Cyprus as a visitor car. many cars coming in from Japan stop in cyprus. It was to do with the old personal import laws which dont apply anymore, But the registration is still valid
