Finally got my imported type r
 
The car has arrived today and all seems to be in good order.

Need to get it checked out and MOT'd. I have been advised that xtreme or mocom are the places to go so will give them a call today.

My wife thinks I am too old for it being 42 but I am looking forward to driving it.

here are a couple of pics.

About to fit the fog light and came across a connector where the UK cars fog light switch goes. Does anyone know if this will work if I connect a switch to this connector. seems too simple.

not sure about facelifts, but had to put a new wire in for my foglight, which I used the o/s reverse light and used a red bulb to keep the rear nice and tidy

Nice .... Very Bibo'esque' :thumb:

42, is that all .... I think you will find older members in the ESC , Phil is about 50 to begin with.

Out of interest, what year is it, and has it been sva'd?
I brought an unregistered Type R, and because it was under 10yrs old, it was a nightmare to register! All ok now though!:luxhello:

Its a 97 model so just needs an MOT. Going to take it to xtreme scoobies for a check over and service and then get it registered.

Would liked to have gone to the southend cruise but it won't be registered in time
