s204 question
 

gentlemen,

do you get the hawkeye/pignose s204 in the uk? seeing as this is a right hand drive only model it must be available in your country. do you get it new from the dealerships or are they gray market?

As far as i'm aware theres none in the UK @ present although PCM in Manchester has one on order and is sorting out a model report for it

No we don't. Japanese only model.

Stay away from it, as it's MINE ;)

GIT! ;)

I wish that 'sorting out a model report' was as easy to do as is implied.....

I'm sure PCM have a good idea how to get it sorted

i know where there is one for sale now in japan but it has some slight damage and who the hell has a model repot for it ???

slight or major !! water damage is a no go :D

You still got the gems?

you seen it then !!! nah i sold the gems as my autronics worked fine

model report?
 

umm... sorry not from the uk... model report? trying to get papers and tags for it? emissons, safety, etc.?

just curious. thanks.

Pretty much that, it needs to comply with the euro 4 standards, its very hard to get on these cars and can cost anything from 5-10k.
Emissions and safety are the big 2 really, and for just bringing 1 into the country, its not worth the hassle or money (16k for the car, 10% export tax, 17.5% import tax, shipping, insurance, ESVA, model report, registration, road tax etc).

Tony:)

16k or 20k they go for 4.6-4.8 mil so the car cost 20k before it's been shipped. And again same with the type ra-r 4.6+

sodeska!!!
 

gentlemen,

thanks. it is similiar in this country but the emissions stuff is really lax. there is all this legislation about carbon issues but practice is a different thing all together. :)

import taxes are the biggest chunk of what filipinos have to pay. as much as 100% of the invoiced value of the car... sometimes the displacement... the determination of just how much taxes cost keeps changing.

ahh... life in the third world. you just have to grin and bear it at times... no, strike that... you have to grin and bear it most of the time. hahahaha:wonder:

Im a noob, whats an S204? Similar to an S202?

at the end of each run of models there was a special edition made

Classic - S201
Bugeye - S202
Blob eye - S203
Hawkeye - S204

each was the work of STI in Japan

I'm not so keen on that S202 ;)

TX.

Bit quicker than a S204 ;)

I'll make up for my cheap shot with a cracking pic (my favorite) of a S202 :)
