I would recommend Litchfields for JDM car sales

I've have used David at API for bits and bobs. He is very knowledgable and nice chap so his cars should be good

Spoken and emailed to Immy, sounds a nice chap, although i've never bought any thing off him

Met the chap at PCM when looking for a new car, nice chap, bought quite a few bits from Ian @ Litchfields > nice bloke ended up buying my car off Jan at JPerformance, I think he's a good chap personally, use to sell a lot of JDM's & Spec C's.

Look privately mate. It's not just dealers who sell jdm's.

A good place to start would be Pistonheads. Don't forget to type in 'jdm' when searching. There were a couple of blobeye's on there recently.

They are rare to get hold of as they are that good.

Had my JDM MY03 STi for just over 8 years now looked after it and it still drives like a new car at 60k miles. Seen as I have seen these going for £8.5k it would be madness to let it go at that price! Must look at another car after I have had it over 10 years though

I can personally, highly recommend Newera Imports, to source the best available from Japan.

They are very expensive to bring over at the moment though due to the current exchange rates with the yen.

I bought mine privately, on here as it happens.

Just be prepared to wait a few months for the right one and spend a few hundred quid on an engineeers report (found Dekra through Autotrader to be v good).

I was also looking at traders and would be more than happy to buy from Immy at PCM or from Litchos (thought that Immy was perhaps a wee bit cheaper pricewise?). Either should be able to supply a warranty and good aftersales service.

Mine turned up out of all places at a Renault dealer, price was good as well, not sure how they got hold of it. If you want one look everywhere and buy on condition as they are not easy to find. Took about 6 months for mine to turn up and had been looking hard. But I was particular was after a near standard my05 on plg road tax and must of been blue.
