Hey, I have same advice as others. I did a lot of reasearch into importing here's a rough example of cost. This is based on importing a car thats costs 500,000yen or £2500. This is only a rough guide that i worked out it just gives you an example.

£2500 - Car Price

£700 - Shipping

£320 - Import Duty

£616 - VAT of above 3

£200 - Shipping Agent

£50 - Customs

£38 - Registration

£300 - SVA preparation - i doubt you would need this much but better to be safe!

£180 - SVA Test

£30 - UK Plates - again prob less

£40 - MOT

£120 - Years Tax

So basically the import costs are as much as the car. Hope that helps!

I did a 10month then a 12month policy. Which hasn't caused me problems as yet as you can argue with any insurance company. As long as you have it on paper that you have 2 years NCB you should be okay. The only problem i have is i need to insure my Glanza for 2 months to cover the gap between the end of my 12month policy and my 19th birthday.

just picked the car up, demolished a local ned in his vtr,

rear shox burst now though

just ordered an indian the now, just away to sit in and munch it, have a good one tonight lads

Legend!! I have not heard the word ned in years! that made me smile!!

Not good news, but i spose it the end of one project and start of another!!

Atleast metal was lost not flesh. Hope you get up and going again soon! Regards, Karen

me & my boyfriend may be interested in this as it's local, Also what about shelly and her brothers, they may be interested too?!

Think this one will be same as others . Loads of hype people get excited to watch it then get let down. The techinical bits make me laugh the same way they did on the others/

Had a good clean and wax today, lovely weather too!! I love my new carbon bits, think i'm going to have to get more carbon goodies!! Thanks to wallace for the group buy!

Well little photo update one of mine & my boyfriends Glanza's - Going to have a good clean and wax today and get my new carbon eyebrows on so will whack a few more pictures up later. The list of bits i want is growing - first thing is some proxe t1r's all round and some nice shiney grooved and dimpled 3g discs with green stuff pads.

I think the website looks wicked! Prices look tastier too. Everything looks brilliant, some nice new bits on there too. All good!!

Can you make me one please? My post is a couple below

Mine was making that sound - it was when my dumpvalve was seized and it ran like a sack of shit.

haven't had ny experience of the black ones - you'll get the equivalent possibly cheaper from your local auto factors. They are just a replacement for standard. I can sing the praises of the green stuff pads though! V.good

Don't worry about above post have found them cheaper and def ep91 somehwere else

Hey,

i've found this website. The discs are listed as up to '99 which should cover my glanza but it only says ep82 . . do you guys think these will be right?

Yeh found out it should have it but doesnt work. its screaming for new discs and pads so going to get them uprates with3g's and green stuff pads and see what happens then

I think its a really good idea to get a basic template so there can be no messing around and again with displaying pictures of the actual item, it is without a doubt a step in the right direction.

I again have had problems with buyers on numerous occasions. People that have asked about parts arranged to come and collect - in some cases i have given my postcode to these people as i thought i could trust them - then they have never turned up, not responded to emails nor bothered to call me and apologise. Others have not read an advert properly and i have gone to the time of messing about getting postage costs etc then they have decided they don't want them.

This website has been an incredible help to me and i appreciate all the advice and guidance you can be given. It's a shame a small minority have to let the community down by being dishonest and plain rude. It's simple if you can't afford an item or don't really want it don't waste peoples time, it just puts people off selling items and one day you might need an item someone has...

@ Love . . . do you think you could have a pop at a sig for me please?!

I haven't ever been followed *touch wood* by anything other than the Police. I wouldn't have got out for anyone though, same as someone else said the Pikeys round here ain't the kind you mess about with! Fairplay for standing your ground though mate!

Just went outside to have a ganders and the catch under the bonnet has decided it just ain't happening!

So i'm looking for the metal pipes along the left hadside of the bay yeah?

I think wherever you go you have to be careful. I bought privately and although i got it for a reasonable price, it's had problems that the seller quite clearly knew about. He gave me a total load of shite sob story. I've been lucky i had enough money to sort the problems, well just! It's bad though that you can't trust anyone selling a car. I worked for a Toyota dealership for a bit in Sales and they just teach you to lie constantly. It's mad!

Mine have stupidly dark, un sensible tints on them so you can't see anything like that..

I want one!

Thanks! It does lock up hence me wondering whether it had ABS but it was just broken. Will have a mooch under the bonnet later on! Pretty sure it hasn't tbh but wanted to confirm before i buy some nice shiney discs! :P
