A lot of people were scared about importing a S1 5 speed back in the day.. but I've heard of a fair few coming in nowadays.

Hasn't that thing been kicking around for, like, forever? I remember looking at it when I bought mine in November last year.

Bloody awesome kit! And manual ftw!

[jasevr4]

Yeah it's was on the J-spec and possibly Prestige site about a 10 months ago I reckon. Obviously everyone was scared off by the 5speed thing.. Either that or it's a heap. I wonder what else it's had done to it..?

[genkin]

I like the Dayton style lowrider rims

[ssshonky]

we were SO close to buying that car.. and .. if its the car I think it is its on coil overs but just looked a bit thrashed/tired

I think the front bars been fixed up a bit since the photos I saw.

we were thinking of getting some rims similar to taht.. there were some BMW ones we saw that we loved !

I was talking to a guy the other week at the 4 door import cruise he imported his S1 with the manual conversion already done to it and he had no problems getting it complianced

[Stinky Rooster]

well thats just odd because the first rule of SEVS is the car must be factory standard. Compliance is calculated on a stock version, and I just assumed that a manual conversion would have to go through emission testing etc etc

[FLYSLY]

Aparantly from what this guy said to me was that there is nothing on the from about transmissions! This is only going by what he said to me

[Mr_RS4]

10 months pfft. This this has been hanging around for well over a year now. If I knew I would be able to bring it in with out dramas I would do it within a blink

Was thinking about getting this car, got the Mechanic inspection done by J-Spec. Evey thing looked good, nice body kit, nice color, 5 speed and some rust !!! oh well....

You're funny Jase

Seriously though.. About a year ago or whenever everyone was saying "this is a bargain, pity it can't be imported". Now that a fair few have come in I would have thought this would be snapped up pretty quickly..

[IMPORTD]

you might get lucky with the transmission i suppose.. its not like your chucking a ferrari F1 box in it.

i really doubt it having a manual when S1's didnt come with manuals would even cross their minds, and i know of a few aristo's that have been brought over with manual boxes in them too, when they never came with them from the factory.

you could always check with raws/sevs and see what they say on the matter..

I am pretty sure that compliance is for an engine not an engine/transmission combo. So Auto rb25det makes manual rb25det legal too...assuming it was standard from factory

[Appealing]

Well it is a nice colour!!

But it is also a respray, and you're right I too saw it ages ago, about last September.

Respray and modified manual conversion, nah wouldn't touch it. Although it is cheap....obviously I'm not the only person that wouldn't touch it if it's been for sale for that long!

Please note - I'm not concerned about it because I'm not buying it :laughing-smiley-014:

Was just curious if anyone will buy it now. It's not a bad buy - on J-Spec now too I see...
