« on: February 13, 2010, 05:47:27 pm »
hey my names jon....im from Timmins Ontario Canada, and just recently drove 14 hours to pick up a JDM st185 gt4....it had been sitting in this guys garage for over 2 years after being imported from japan, because in quebec they cant register a right hand drive vehicle....it is practically flawless...with no rust...and only 85,000 km's...and never winter driven.it was love at first site....i picked it up for a mere 2900 cnd...which in my eyes is a steal lol...i cannot wait to bring this car home tommorow and get it on the road... Im looking to keep this car almost stock ...hehe maybe just some exhaust work and some 17 inch rims....im extremely excited..:)

got the car to the shop. last night ...havent taken any pics yet those are comign today...but we went over the whole car over the hoist....my brother in law who is my mechanic gave it a look over and was ridiculously amazed at the shape of every inch of this car...he can not believe that a 1991 could still be in showroom condition throughout every square inch of the car... while giving it a look we found that it already has a HKS bov and a HKS turbo timer....going back to the shop today to install a exhaust...
