Mo whats with the "Elders" thing? Am i really that old? admittedly most of you could be my sons!

I'm just trying to hang onto my youth for as long as I can lol.
I already feel like an old man and it makes me feel a little better to poke fun at you guys, the ones with knowledge that is, as they say "knowledge comes with age".
Going by that rule Jamie must be around 55yo! ahaha

And yeah Jerome, no offence but these cars are Kiwi magnets lol.
Nah I guess they just have good taste in cars......except the spoiler/chrome/low thing haha

thats because NZ has the best selection of cars MO
u see evos vr4s gsrs everyday there, just in a trip up to the shops...especially in sth auckland, i guess because there are so many we dont want to look the same. Here there aint many so you like to keep them stock plus the cops hassle ya more here.

My vr4 is a prime example of how kiwis like to do things
good or bad...its different. Dont think its ever been done before not even in NZ

good question man...you only have to look at tradme.co.nz
to see how much parts are available there. I no guys from here are taking advantage too. Ive got a heap of stuff from there. Even sent my ecu back to get fixed in nZ and every time a rallie comes over i get them to bring a carpart or 2 with them (save on shipping ) haha... maybe it has something to do with the exchange rate dont you get like 60yen per dollar ???

[jerome266]

mmm...let me think

ecu
chip
zr4 grill
intake manifold
evo 6 fb vent
evo 3 fb end caps and vents
wastegate
dump pipe

have all come via NZ im sure theres a few others im forgetting at this time of morning

Very few people buy parts from Japan (I have for the Echo but not one single one for the vr4), and the ones that do are because those parts are not available anywhere else. The only thing we really get from Japan is complete cars and front cuts.
If you do the sums, you will see it is cheaper to buy a car from Japan than it is from NZ.

Hey all...

The evos and vr4s run made in nz cause its a good bang for buck...
my first experience in a vr4 was wen i was 16 (oh so many years ago now hehehe)... at th time in nz the hype was having a nissan primera...

In south auckland most of the vr4's or evos that are in mint condition usually belong to car crews that are likened to gangs....

Just some early morning blog hehehe

[rob323]

Early morning? I've been at work for 2.5 hours already!
Hoping to knock off for the xmas break at lunch time though .
