Jimny JB23W 660

Hi Karl,
Nice car. What sort of MPG to get from the 660?

Can you give forum members any information about importing a car from Japan. Costs; paperwork, where you got yours from etc.

I hoping for a business trip to Tokyo sometime soon and hope to get time to check out Jimny parts and perhaps a JB23W 660.

Cheers
Paul

Wow that X90 off roading looks totally mad!! Love stuff like that

No worries - thought later on it might've sounded like I was trying to tell you about your own car - apologies if so, I'm sure you know more than I, especially as I've got most of mine via Google Translate :laugh:

Never thought about the small stuff like finding tyres for the smaller wheels - at least they're Yokos, gotta keep it JDM I always figured an auto would keep the turbo spooling & keep the torque up nicely but also seem to remember reading if you push them hard the boxes can overheat, so swings and roundabouts I guess.

X90 looks like fun and I bet it surprised a few people!

Wow, they look the business! Reminds me of some of the very lust-worthy stuff on apio.jp - if only I had the money to import one of their complete cars as a bit of a play thing!

If you need parts from Japan and don't have you're own contacts I can recommend Jesse Streeter (jessestreeter.com) - I got brand new outer sills for the Capp purchased & delivered to the UK for a chunk less than Suzuki GB were asking & he's a great guy to deal with. There seem to be a few EA21Rs (the never-officially-imported K6A-engined Capps) over here so you could always ask on Club Cappo or SCORE where they get their service bits from? Perhaps it's all the same between F & K but I wouldn't know for sure...

i've got the Yoko MTs and they are great off road and on road can't fault them!! The Insa Sahara are a copy of the tread pattern or at least they look like a copy
