For starters the proper Japanese cars, not the watered down piss weak versions we get here.

hehehe jeez the list is endless!! There isnt much choice here...especially if your on a bit of a budget.

To be honest I would really really like to see a complete reform of the rules regarding importing vehicles, the rules controlling how you modify your car and the rules that control registering kit cars.

The government is dead set on tightening the import laws until we are all forced to 'buy aussie'.....'sif I am ever going to do that!!

Pretty much any mod to a car is going to earn you a yellow sticker and I am convinced the laws on it are becoming tighter just because it becomes a good revenue earner..though why the popo never seem to put a yellow on some smoky old creakydoor but do on a neatly modified car I never know..

And as for kit cars, well the latest laws basically mean you need to have a brand new engine that can meet the very latest emission regs which instantly puts the build price up by thousands and thats just the start of it...for the amount of cars out there I think they can afford to relax the rules a bit1 I might be able to afford one then!

I think the government attitude is that all cars are evil and we must all tailgate each other around the suburbs in our 4WD's (with roo bars..in the suburbs!!) and poorly built and over priced sedans..
