Make sure if you do it yourself, you have an understanding of the extra fee's you need to pay.

Import fee, shipping cost, registration costs, etc. I think Torque GT cover's them, others might not?

What car you thinking of buying? I've been tempted to use them before, but not done so.

I was looking at an S13 Q's Coupe (maybe a K's if I can find one for cheap enough)... so we're talking about £1000-1500 worth of car if bought at auction (or about double that for the K's) , although I'm not 100% about how accurate those prices are. I've just heard horror stories about people who haven't gone through importers like Torque GT. I'm under the impression it would be roughly £4k to get a Q's here and driving on the road.

Hijacking this thread, insurance on imported cars is more than their UKDM equivalents. Is there any rule of thumb for how much more, like some %?

no ecoboost

because it was a car from the early 2000s sold as new and full price in the late 2010's with a bunch of go fast parts bolted on

>>17577622
$50k for a souped up fwd grocery getter with a transfer case when you could get a Corvette or Mustang, etc for the same price.

>>17577582
Liberals and their bullshit regulations. Keep buying cars from the 90s, boys.

Any racist beta mexicans fucking with me would get btfo anyway

Put a bunch of conflicting political stickers on.

>Why not?
Because consumer night vision has a latency and refresh rate that'll cost your life, and professional night vision is unaffordable to mere mortals.

>>17577390
>Has anyone on /o/ driven at speed with night vision?
no for a myriad of reasons.

>Why not?
mainly because letting people know you exist is a major part of safe night driving and cruising around with with your lights off can make this seriously difficult.

that being said, I have messed around with Gen.3 and a UAZ in an open field and it is pretty neat to be able to drive relatively fast in complete darkness.

>>17577390
Because they have no compensation for things like oncoming headlights, a really narrow field of view, and everything's fucking green to boot.

They also probably cost more than your aging shitbox if you don't want to have to use IR headlights or die from not being able to see.

That's a fuckload of mileage.

If you know what you're looking at, or have a trusted mechanic who does, inspect it thoroughly and have a look at the paperwork. If it has been looked after properly, has a clean interior, all its original tool kits in the back, etc etc, and hasn't had like 7 owners, I'd say go for it. They're brilliant cars.

>>17577411
You might misread that as miles, but its in kilometers, is 195k still alot for a Honda?

>>17577372
Cuck

What's with those tiny ass wheels?

>>17577297
Idk. I don't think it's a problem

My first bike was a 650 and I did fine, but it was a cruiser.

>>17576921
500 is fine, 650 is fine too but only Vtwin, Parallel twins and I4's are too peaky for newbs.

>>17576921
500-650 parallel or v-twin is fine

70hp or below is best

For what kind of riding? You need to think about the weather too. Where is the US do you live or are you in Greater Yuropooria? If the latter you probably can't afford gear anyways.

I'm sure those pants are practical but they look gay as fuck. Is the zipper on the back?

>>17576872

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is too big to fail anyways so they stopped caring about their car market.

>>17576818
They proved that they made the better rally car. so they stopped caring. with them gone Subaru will likely care even less even whilst being threatened by the Focus RS.

>>17576818
the triple zero deal didn't help...odd that if no one pays your back, you run out of cash eventually
