Cool

Before you do that talk to PCM (you mention above considered rather than discussed with him). He's obtained a Spec C for me, delivery to me next week He's a very helpful fellow more of which will be revealed when I do a proper write up next week.

How did you get that through an SVA? I'm dying for a sti6 wagon but can't see a way of SVA'ing it for less than £1500, so I'm sat here with my 1993WRX wagon waiting for 2009 to come round!

We only have Import fee (31% of the price u paid added when u go to collect car from the docks) then the car is urs. Then u VRT it which on a 2 litre Turbo was e2400 (went down this year) Then the irish goverment really likes to stick it in with huge insurance rates.

You could have got an STI for not much more than that from here and avoided all the hassle ?

£6000 is everything, the car, the import fees, the vrt. If i had bought it from the uk i still would of had to pay the vrt.
