Silvia S12 but in manual. Can't live with a 4speed auto.

These are very easy to convert to manual if you can find a good auto.

Anyone ever had a car imported from Japan? I have made contact with a company that charges a flat £500 to import and handle an incoming car and do the bidding process in Japan for you. They have a grade 3 MR2 Supercharged Mk1 expected to go for around £2.5k.. Which makes it a bargain on paper. Will require undersealing though as a priority.

excercise caution and pay the extra for someone on the ground to look it over. quite common to see auctioned cars auctioned as wrecks, repaired and sold as quality cars weeks later

So an import is weighing in at around 8k.. there were s**t tons of these going last summer for 5. There are 0 around at the moment.

So the MR2 seems dead in the water. Even imports in Japan are lining up at 7k now plus fees and shipping at 1500.

So the Silvia remains but only Autos on sale at the moment.

Anyone ever had a 300zx TT? These seem surprisingly cheap for a well speccd monster of a car. About 4k for a clean manual T bar twin turbo.

So I bought... an MR2 Turbo Rev2. £3k. Nothing beats a cat d for driving down the price. Car is pretty solid and pretty damn fun.
