Hi all, I've finally managed to source an impreza for myself. Sourced in it Japan and it's the one for me. One or two questions though. I know they come with manual and auto water spray and the engines are a bit stronger than the UK models, uprated crank and higher top end on the revs due to the better fuel over there. But do they come with dccd as standard and is getting them de limited and re mapped much of a job. I know it was a nightmare with my jdm legacy but I'm presuming things have improved.

Super stuff. But I thought they had some sort of nitrous infused cross drilled crank job

same part number from Subaru. And never seen anything special when stripped one down

Re: 2003 jdm blobeye
now the next question is for all you tax buffs, importing on japan, the taxes are 23% vat and 8% import duty on the invoice for the car. is that correct? its been a year or two since i've imported a car for myself.
so €1000 invoice will carry 310 tax, is that correct?
