  1. like... MINT. 18,000km 1 owner genuine km stored indoors entire life, not intereior fading. no cracks. perfect condition. 50K landed n complied. that kinda mint. make sure you scroll down to see all pics yeah?
  2. ...question is... why the hell aren't YOU. silvia guy - dude just buy them? $1200 with tyres is a preeetttyyyyy sweet deal!!! haha
  3. we do.. it's the LS400... goes for 6 gillion dollars. mint R32 - $35/40K landed n complied. deal with it. they will stay that price forever.
  4. same i was thinking of saying something the other day but i was like nahhhhhhhhhhh soon someone will be like "SEVS COMPLIANCE IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR IMPERIAL 74-Z SPEEDER BIKES" but nope.. i have been wanting to know about the progress of the JZS147 crown... because i think i do like them while we're in a thread that's REALLY just "japanese car discussion" i'd like to bring everyone's attention to THIS CAR ^^^i cant even front. i'll say it - i REALLY like that celsior. but there's no denying i would rather have this one.. this would suit me so well. while we're talking too - i'd just like to mention that it has always bothered me that lexus is in this country. if they weren't... these cars would be eligable for SEVS compliance. as would be the SC430.. instead. we have lexus in this country - a largely unpopular brand which nobody buys and thus keeps the sales somewhat rare.. SURE.. everyone's buying up the lexus IS but meeeehhhh i'm not really into them i would LOVE a GS / LS / SC but NO. instead becuase they're such rarely bought cars, their values stay mysteriously high. so i would be paying about 40K for a 10 year old SC430. interesting fact: - the UZZ40 / SC430 are all coming up for 10 years old in japan. and owners are doing anything to offload them it seems there is SO MANY being sold at auction for quite cheap. if we were able to import THEM... that would make me BERRY happy man
  5. Cheers big ears See stock is sexy... Make a copy of the bumper.. Tweak the mouth a bit.. Maybe turn it upside down so it doesn't "smile" And extend the front lip / replace it with a shakotan chin spoiler... I'd do that. Just clean with no swoop
  6. Dan - i *think* it's called the 3910 cefiro.. it's the red and white pair of cefiros from japan with the white rims made a lot of noise on japcar blogs late last year... i think the rims were were origin DNA??? can anybody please post pics? they all seem to be dead links... there's a red one and a white one stock bodied iirc!
  7. I think I'm a great writer but i doubt it's something i can be capable of making a career out of. people often tell me i'm a great writer at facts and opinions.. haha and im not on the dole, i tried but backed away from the initial interview because i remembered how hard it is to attain the dole! and how useless it is. so i took the easy way out n got a job. currently i work in Midland at the dept of regional development! it's an easy job - it allows me to focus on my new studies - which is, diploma in training and assessment, coupled with a certificate IV in Occ Health and Safety ROWANICHU used career path. ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE!!!! PS - thats GREAT news about HAYS man!!!! ps - you dont work in Midland by any chance do u?
  8. rules as of 2010 have been in place since the import regulations changed re: pre88 cars. WA made a new rule that any japanese imports that are being brought over to WA for registration must be given a full examination and treated as a fresh import... call dept of transport to confirm.. but regardless. there's no way ANY pits of ANY sort are going to pass a car wearing 20 grade dardy tint cuz.
  9. ^^see post edit
  10. WHOA DUDE NO you're from over east. in WA if you bring an import from over east you need a full inspection that is treated like an initial registration to attain WA rego. DO NOT PUT TINT ON YOUR CAR. OF ANY SORT. you will get declined registration if you do. WA pits do imports as special cases if from over east and moved across. it's a PITA. but they will make you pull your tint off if you have 20,30,35, 50 grade. whatever. repeat call up TKO and cancel becuase you will get made to pull it off in July... ..ps why you waiting so long to WA rego your ride? and i see a tiny tiny thumbnail of your car in your DP - didn't realise it was GMG sorry man! again - NO TINT. car must be stock / close to stock for this one - it's a BIG inspection. EDIT: it may be worth calling up dept of transport and getting put thru to technical officers at welshpool and asking if they'll pass a car with WA applied 35 grade tint. but i wouldn't push it just incase. my personal experience - car was brought from japan with tint on - had to pull it off because japanese tint is apparently dangerous to use. shock horror. personally i would just wait it out unitl car is officially rego'd and then once that's done just go nuts. because even IF the tech guys at welshpool inspection centre say "yeah we can register it with tint" - from my personal experience, what the technical officers say... and what the inspector says... are usually two very different things. reason for this is because everyone that works for the western australian dept of transport who are employed in the vehicle examination centre tend to be: ALCHOHLICS with no consistencies in their dealings with the public. James sympathises. they behave like the hyenas from the Lion King when you rock up there. NO even better. they act like the "thugs" off west side story..
  11. James - to be fair as i said, Trent's bro did it and i think he's a bit more finicky.. Trent took the day off... but he actually did put in 5.5 hours of labour. i would know. ...i had to sit outside the shop n wait that long. ...there's only so many games of angry birds that one man can play. haha and Victor - James is right, but the REASON they are called that.. is because of the FILMS light omittance... meaning... 35 grade tint - allows 35% of light to show through it. meaning it dims the light by 65% 30 grade = 30% of light gets through and etc etc WA rules are - windows must have NO LESS than 35% light omittance. keep in mind that while many shops like tintacar will tell you that midnight express is the darkest legal tint.. it's not. because while the TINTED FILM is 35 grade FILM... there is a factory tint in all automotive glass... meaning darkest legal tint is actually illegal by ADR rules years ago - TKO used to use a film called desert smoke - which was the COLOUR of the film... it was BLACK black. like wesley snipes black. it made samuel jackson look like mister robinson. TKO have changed their film to a different brand which is not quite as black coloured nowadays.. so in that regard its a bit less noticeable to the law... but put it this way.. i have a black car. i have 20 grade tint. james has a black / dark blue car, and will be getting 20 grade tint. on our cars - dark tint looks fine, just fine.. because against our paint. the tint appears light.. however you have a white car... so it contrasts and clashes the two colours as polar opposites... so for you - i'd go 30 grade. again - still "illegal" but try putting a light meter on it - with discrepencies and allowance for error. 30 grade is passable. but you didn't hear that from me. =|
  12. ...how about cut n shut a supermade instant gentleman S13 kit to suit cefiro? or possibly use Mark2 as a base? think this: or this: but on a cefiro... would look great i reckon. just puddin' it out there
  13. bahahahhahahaha - it's hilarious because you were: a) drunk on a tuesday night b) ????????????? EDIT: ..lastnight was Wednesday wasn't it... ...this's awkward. :|
  14. they operate out of Victoria but can post the rims to you via courier.. takes about a day or two - if that. courier to QLD wouldn't be more than 100 bucks. www.importmonster.com give em a ring! 03 9008 0031 at that price you can't really go too wrong.. ask him what else he's got in 4x114.3... he's unloading a container today so you might find something else that you really really love! but who doesn't love punk vip rims on a silvia bippu on silvia is nice in a digustingly wrong kinda way. its a style that screams, YEAH im a boy racer. can YOU hang with this shit?
  15. that's actually a picture of Trents old house - and the R32 is his brother, Rezz's old car.. his brother Rezz moved to Japan to live if i recall correctly.. Rezz also started this website that you might have heard of.. it's called 7tune. Victor to answer your question, YEARS ago - like seven years ago trent used to do mobile work... when he was starting out... but as he said.. he got sick and tired of charging what he used to charge (about 200 bucks) to come to someone's house and he'd be trying to apply the film and there'd be leaves and dirt and dog hair and dust etc blowing everywhere... so he started his own shop... formerly in vic park on albany hwy.. over the years that became a "cafe strip" and the prices got too high so he relocated to his new carlisle premises.. which are about 5 min drive from old shop.. my cefiro he did like 6 years ago for $240.. that's a price i remember... mind you that would've been 2005.. prices have naturally gone up exponentially as his reputation has built and he's perfected his craft. not to mention the costs of living / rental / operating a business / breathing / electricity etc. so naturally in 2011 he can no longer charge $240... IMO - pay the extra and get a good job done the FIRST time around.
  16. Oh wow someone thought I was being serious. Hey everyone!!!! Come look at the guy that thought I was being serious... Lookathim... Doesn't he run like a Welshman?
  17. Umm from memory it was 300 odd Trent charged me more cos he hates working on soarers... Says they are a bitch to work on.. Then after said that it was in amazing cond and that it was a dream to work with.. No broken clips no brittle plastics etc... Cvnt. Lol But yeah 300ish I think.. Which is still better than competitors I think.. But with my car I dont care for cheap id prefer to spend biGgerg and do it properly first time around and if I can't afford it tough tits I save up Actually another useful bit of info.... Trents brother did it... said it'd take two hours to do... But spent about five and a half hours doing prep work with steel wool and making sure the film didn't interfere with the ceramic borders or the demisters etc... And the job is fantastic. Compared to my old cefiro that was a bit lifted around the demisters and around the ceramics was really dodge.. But you get that for driving a smelly nissan
  18. ...so you make a thread about how good the handling might be on an Mr2... then 7 posts down say the thread say that your project isn't about performance but about engine sound and how you want a V8 you make me racist, man.
  19. any wheels can be re-drilled. FYI. but theres this one guy i know of... he goes by the name of the importing monster... These are 18 x 8.5" +30 front and 18 x 10" +24 rears $1200 with tyres tell him Rowan sent you and he MIGHT throw in a free handjob!
  20. ...so the 3910 cefiro looks like a dildo, dan? got it...
  21. i thoguht F1 cars where frontwheel drive??? and... i konw that you wanted answers but seriously close your eyes.. and imagine: a light mid engined rear wheel drive small capacity superior toyota built coilovers sway bars strut bars reinforced Bpillars (i want to do this) floor braced MR2 close your eyes and imagine that car... does it SOUND like it'd handle good!? to me it does.. plus you're in Perth... so you have the support of WTF Auto..

  22. +1 for TKO im currently wearing the latest summer range from Trent 20 grade black tint.. my girlfriend wears 30 grade by TKO also the finest of the fine. quality work ain't that cheap thoguh - but it's a lot cheaper than his competitors and a lot better if i say so myself there's a bloke in the quokka / gumtree that does it mobile... he's hungry and just starting out.. people swear by his work but personally i just used trent again for the soarernator because he's I've simply been a customer of his from when he first opened up in vic park ...csb?
