MY05 Model Spec C type ra v9
Seen as the thread was blocked in the for sale section. Just thought i would post some pictures on here of the work we carried out on the car. We had it professionally treated and cleaned underneath, waited for it to dry and applied a coat of wax oil. All in it was a long day but well worth it once we saw the results. Oh and thanks to Matt for his help on this one.

Not sure what the OP paid but these have been going for anything between 7-9k at auction in japan. You then need to add shipping, insurance costs, VAT and import duty. So you are probably looking at least 12k+

Must include japan buyer fees also, internal transport in japan, deregistration, mot, cambelt, engine service, gearbox, diff, wax oil and a few other bits and bobs, iva test. All in its just about made it feasible bringing this over considering all the risks/time constraints and costs involved.
It is a 4b grade car

As Maz said. I have just ordered 10 bottles of millers octane booster to go with imports that have no recollection of mapping. Never had a problem with them running shell v power but i suppose you don't know sometimes unless you have it on the dyno whether it's good or not.
