I don't know why you didn't believe us the first time??

if you have any JDM questions.. you can ask me, since I owned my JDM from new in Japan and imported it to the UK last year..
no offence taken..

just offer of info/help if needed..

importing a car from japan is one of life's stressful things, along the same lines as divorce etc...

go into this exercise with plenty of margin of expectation.. Good Luck!!

Navi dash isn't usable in the UK so would have to do some tweeking on it.

JDM is looking lees of an option I'm afraid, they charge us 25% more for insurance if its a JDM, euro imports are the same as uk though ?!

Going to watch a couple of auctions on Tuesday in Japan to get a better feel.

I would like a midnight blue with beige interior
any excuse to post midnight blue pictures sorry without beige

I don't think it is 180 degrees! but, I think it is about half of a normal non-V-type.

I'll check it out and report back.

I just checked it this morning on the way to work.

If you turn the whell hard left. all the way until it locks. from that point, turning the wheel to the right, it goes approx 1 1/3 full turns to the right until it stops.

so quick math... 360 + 120 = 480 degrees.

what does the regular non v-type do?

Didn't get a JDM in the end, cost of importing and the extra insurance put me off. I bought Slicks Again car in the UK, in the process now of putting my Mugen kit on it.

I've got a Type-V in the Uk and it's truly amazing. Driven quite a few S2ks and while they are all great, they don't compare to the Type-V in my humble opinion.

Could do with some advice on what to do with the Sat Nav, TV Tuner, DVD player bit though!!!! HELP!
