Iron Chef Imports

[hamiltonau]

i dont see anything luke..

anyway im mad at him because i sent him an email like six months ago asking how he went with his Toyota Tundra that i read about in his column in one of those car magazines he writes for. Im pretty sure it was via facebook, pfft its not like he would get more than fifty messages a day on there..

good to hear he is just slow generally with those things and i hadnt offended/bored him somehow

[Iron Chef]

I probably didn't reply because I'm still waiting on the buyer of the JZX110 to stump up the cash so I can go get the damned Tundra lol

And yes, I'm slow...

[hamiltonau]

wait, what? you use the money people give to your for 'their' cars to buy your own?!

oh wait i just for that the JZX is one of your own, good luck man, bit of a buyers market now unfortunately..

just to make the wait go faster, heres one i spotted in Cambodia last year.

how porn are they?

HTH

[Iron Chef]

lol yes I do - at $1000 a time My customers pay my suppliers direct for all the rest of it.

Yes they're pimp, especially with 24s on...this one is close, just needs a drop...

[hamiltonau]

those 26 inch rims defintely fill out the guards better than say..these 24's

going to be easy enough to source rims and rubber you want or just going to make do with whats on the truck you get?

[hamiltonau]

also for your viewing pleasure...rednecks seem to have adopted these things pretty readily..

[Iron Chef]

As always, ride height is the key with fitting bigger rims. I was going to go the lift kit option, but then I realised my kids probably wouldn't be able to get in!

I'll be buying my own rims once it's through compliance, as I need stockies for compliance (and future defects lol).

So will this be the 5.7L Tundra?

I like the sound of the supercharged TRD Tundra.... over 2tons of beast running 13's. Fark!

What do they/will they go for out of curiosity?

[luke gtr]

Tundra looks pretty cool.

Would own one.

Can't afford one

[hamiltonau]

saw this at trackday at EC yesterday, also want.

dont even need to tow anything..just think they look awesome.

not sure if i would still be as lusty for one if i saw them everyday, im sure the rarity over here adds to the cache for me but still. Niiiiice

[PN-Mad]

Patty,

The inside of those things makes you feel like your sitting in one of the OLD McDonald's restaurants. You know, with all the hard plastic everywhere, cheap materials.

Please reconsider this obsession with Yank trucks. I had a brief twirl in a Ram V10, and still that engine didn't make it good- sounded like a vacuum. Stick with a Tundra.

[Iron Chef]

^^Agreed. Once compliance prices are sorted I'm suspecting around the $70K mark landed and complied for a low mileage 2009 model - not bad seeing they retail here for six figures.

[hamiltonau]

yeah im yet to get inside one, thanks for the heads up Alex.

childhood dream shattered a little but meh, i cant afford the silly money they ask for them anyway.

good luck with the Tundra Kristian, 30k is a big saving on landed retail, we dont get such a huge difference with the jap imports do we?

[Iron Chef]

Well we don't get anything in 4WD apart from the stuff that comes from the US in the import world, that's the main reason I'm getting one.

But the margins on US cars are huge here still, a bit like it was with Japanese imports about 15 years ago, when Soarers were $60K...

[Xian]

I've only heard good things about others experience with him.
