I found my jdm no problem with insurance I just paid a small fee to change details from my uk car to the jdm one, I think it depends on driving history though, a trader policy may be a problem though as many don't cover import cars.

Plenty of performance cars and bikes for driving/riding history, current car is a 350z, insurance quote on a UK sti blob/hawk was less than the 350z.

The OP should stop looking at STis and get a WRX.

Less strain on the engine due to the gearing and quicker on the standing mile than a Veyron.

Would save a lot of money to buy a lime green respray, some monster energy stickers and a VTA dump valve...

The trouble with that is that nobody's gonna see the monster energy stickers if the car is lime green Unless the monster stickers are done in purple

I read on the other page about the interior, is it just the center console that was changed in the 05's ? Could an 05 center console be fitted to a JDM 03-04 ? As i do like the extras on the jdm like the power folding mirrors and xenons, and the twinscroll turbo obviously.

I read bad things online about C performance, used to be called JUS or something ? Read a post on the supra forums saying avoid. That dash come from an 05 car ?
