    Clock mileage, daft question!

    Absolutely......Andy and Barry are great honest people at BHP Imports. If you can wait you will find exactly what you are looking for with no hidden issues, they actually have a guy in Japan who goes to the auction to validate the auction sheet and check the car out. There is a section in teh...

    Clock mileage, daft question!

    You need to ask for the original auctions sheet, this will give you the mileage in kms at the point of sale. The auction sheet has the chassis number on so it will check out. Things are definitely more honest in Japan. If someone cant provide the auction sheet something is wrong. If you test...

    Bridgestone RE070s

    The standard JDM fitment are the RE040 215/45/17, however, these are so very different from the EU version of the tyre. The japanese market has its own tyre numbering system, the side walls are so much stiff, they say 88 but they are 96 in EU speak and the EU ones are 88. Therefore the sidewalls...

    NJ51 KTE Silver Teg

    I have no idea why DC5's coming from Japan don't have service history. I imported mine and it came with the Honda Japan service book stamped and signed by the Honda dealer including all the original delivery inspections. Although it was funny typical Japanese cartoons. 6k is a bagin price if...

    Lotus Exige and Selling Up.

    The white lotus has the wrong tyres on! They should be special Lotus Yokohama A048. You need the S/C one, they are ok for a daily drive of 20 miles each way, you can even get a car seat in, my Daughter enjoyed that and she is 6. The S/C one is mental and so much quicker than the DC5 you also...
