was about £900 freight, and another £600 for taxes, duties and reg.
its a 2.0 XT and looking at it, the guy who owned it in Japan looked after it very well.
started with basic items, Full service (took an hour just to do the plugs), then changed all the bulbs to LEDs, changed the Jap satnav to a clarion NX700E, changed all the speakers (old speakers were knackered), fitted a reversing camera.
a lot of cleaning up been done, machine polished......and got rid of the extra go faster badges on the back
during changing rear light bulbs
we actually got 2 fozzies. my brother-in-law got a LL-BEAN edition

then i polished the headlights
bought some wheels of ebay and had em refurbed
after
after fitting the new wheels i spent a good few hours adjusting the suspension and decided i needed to bottom the coilovers. gave it a -2 degree camber
then i had the front grill and rear view mirror bases colour coded
am going to paint the verticles strips in the grill black.

Nice car and very clean underneath but if you plan on driving it on anything other than total smooth roads you will be bottomming out the suspension very often with this ride height.
It's nice to see it has alloy front control arms. Are these standard in JDM XTs then?
