Recently moved over to the UK from Japan and brought the ol' CTR with me. It's in the process of being registered. Just waiting for the Reg and V5 to show up in the mail so I can get my plates and start driving it.

Problems: Minor body damage (see pics). Exterior needs a good clean. Interior needs a good clean. Need a new Air Filter. Engine bay needs a good clean. Crack in center area (see pic). Stickers fading/peeling. Emblems Faded. Gauge cluster faded. Getting up there in mileage, currently has 178K Kilometers on it.

Plans: I'm not a race driver and have no delusions about being one. I'm pretty satisfied with the performance of the vehicle and at most plan on upgrading the ECU. No turbo charging or engine swaps. I've been through all that with Silvias. Would like to pull the motor and give the engine bay a real good clean and follow up with a wire tuck job. Really, I just want it clean and presentable/respectable.

Mods: Body Kit, JASMA stamped Fujitsubo Giken Co. Ltd Exhaust, JASMA stamped Fujitsubo Giken Co. Ltd Manifold, Cusco Coilovers, Gram Light Wheels (believe 57C), Cold Air Intake (I'm not sure the brand, any help appreciated), Have a Bride Zeta III with rails not installed, Have a APEXI Power FC and Controller not installed

Attached is a link to my photo bucket to view pics:

If thats a fresh import the first thing to do would be get it undersealed before the british weather and salty roads has there chance to attack your car...
 
Thanks for the info elchunk. I'll look into it as soon as it can be driven legally.

All its needs is a slight tidy up and will be looking good again! Id go with an oem front bumper aswell!
 
Finally got my Registration and plates today! It only took 4 months for it to arrive and get all the legalities taken care of. What a relief! I've only driven it 3 times since its been here. Just excited.
