i had a chat to some guys in nz who import/comply/sell them and its a perfectly viable dd until the power bug hits you then its no different to any other import normal service routine and not loving with it should see it last as long as a camry, problem is its a fr sedan with a 1j turbo and lsd from factory which would be fun to throw around i want one so im going to check out the frontrunner in a few hours. white 99 tourer v, factory manual/lsd/sunroof. imported with coilovers/exhaust/wheels so not quite completely stock, and im not a fan of the trd kit but everything else is on point

KakerMix posted:I never use PartsFan to actually buy, I find the part number then punch it in to amayama. They are consistently the cheapest for prices, shipping is normal cost and everything I've ordered has come from Japan. I guess PartsFan is supposed to find parts but ??? im in aus and use amayama as well kaker did you get your wagon yet? whats a na 1j like to drive?

everdave posted:I have inspect d many pulsar git-rs and they go for way more than I bid. A crazy AWD turbo tiny car that only weirdos like us care about is probably not a smart choice as they guys at JCD try to tell me a clean majesta is worth more than a clean gtir here is aus, and a lot harder to find the majesta owns but as a fellow toyota boat owner im biased

BlackMK4 posted:did you get them from Powervehicles and did you leave them there or sell them back? I wish I had time to tie up like that, so baller i rolled the dice and purchased "untested" stock from pv (it was sat in a carpark there, and hadnt been thrashed by andy). others cars were private purchases, which meant paying support fees and dealing with whatever andy and emily said had to be fixed before going on track. because i bought via them and my car was in decent shape (for ebisu) i was sweet to head out. granted i had the least power/angle, all the car had was coilovers, a seat and a welded diff i stored mine with pv and sold it privately, which emily hates, but meh. sold it for more than i paid after servicing it/getting it driving and sliding/making it one colour, used the money to buy a missile here

Frank Dux posted:I did pay a little more than average (the bidding went just a hair over a million yen) but the car has only 94k km on it originally and practically perfect condition as the auction sheet rated it a 4.5. definitely not the cheapest mr2 on the auction block but I don't plan on reselling or anything so it's worth it to me 😋 revision 2 gts? spoiler and interior match, rear lights are rev3+ do you have a front on pic? have fog lights?

Is just the chassis+engine worth that? yes Applebees Appetizer posted:Um yeah that's a lot of money for what looks like the '95 Camry I had not too long ago. The interior looks almost identical as well. this is a plus 206kw, 5 speed mt, rwd w/ lsd, in a camry body from factory

BloodBag posted:Tom's Turbo Garage on youtube has a video of him working on fixing the clutch. I haven't finished it yet, but it looks like working on that little thing requires an engine drop. Just imagine the trepidation of working on a 25+ year old car that was never sold in this country. I don't think I'd have the stomach for it. this is true for most japanese mr cars iirc, lift the body off the rear subframe

the spyder posted:This seems to be the best place to ask - does anyone have a contact in Japan who deals with Upgarage? I've had great luck buying through Croooober, but I need a part picked up they won't ship. One of my struts failed and instead of buying a new $500 set, this seems like such a better deal: https://www.croooober.com/item/9570847 Jesse Streeter can probably help out, google or I can message him for you
