MashaMoto Importing FC3S\' (or any other car)

Cool, good to hear.
Sweet pictures

skirts don\'t look it, rear bumper looks standard but wing looks like RE-A and the mirrors look like Border items.
 
I know what you\'re saying Ant, I didn\'t think there was enough info on the site, but nothing I could see that wasn\'t correct, just not enough detail

Are the RE-A wings wider than standard? Or is it just the indicator position thats different?

Not the wings, the rear spoiler looks like the RE-A (re-amemiya) item.

RE-A do a nice wide arch kit too, but that isn\'t it.

Cheers Grinder,

Nice to see you know your way around company house!  So they are based in my high street!!!

Just thinking back to the lack of RX\'s in my home tome...I did see a white FC pass through the surrounding area a little while ago!

Could this be the man himself, or Mr BenLewisMav above?

Where bouts you from fella?

Chris:)

I think this was the car I almost bought about 5 - 6 months ago... does it have a plate with TAZ in it?

So did the engine go in it, cause it was fine when I was all about to buy it (I fell ill though, so deal fell through.... maybe somewhat luckily if the engine has gone already?)

Does look very nice!! Hope you got a good deal They seemed like a very good company to deal with.

Ahaaa!

The one I saw in my local area was registered with TAZ as the plate.  I know its a common plate (irish) but a white FC, in Prudhoe with that plate, gotta be it.

Needs a wash tho, lol

Chris

[grinder]

nah - this one is still in japan

hence the shipping duty

still cant afford it - but it did sound nice

With regards to rebuild i dont know . the compression is fine though and i expect if they went to the hassle of having HKS upgrade the car they probably had a rebuild thrown in for good measure.

Yeah, Matthew mentioned that, however I think the price you would have paid would have included some nice extras like a T4 turbo, ss manifold, 6 puck clutch, etc. Still not much good if the rear rotor goes!

Just wondering anyone has signed up and looked at the FD/FC\'s for auction? I\'d say quite a few of the cars in the auction are better than the one above.

Hi Guys,
 
Ben mentioned the site and said i should get myself signed up as there had been a few questions.
 
to cover a couple thats already been posted within this thread:
 
1. Brief descriptions on website ? ,  
  Basically down to limited space per advert (after all we do have 300,000 vehicles on there per week and as im sure you can imagine this isnt a cheap website to run) usually interested customers  contact us and we send them as many pics and as much information as they like we usually have 50-100 photos of each car on there.
 
  Also any specific requests can be done by one of our inspectors in Japan. IE compression checks,parts confirmations etc.
 
as ben has also mentioned each week we have shed loads of FC\'s up for auction if you have the time you can check them out by signing up for an account here www.MashaMoto-auctions.co.uk
 
2.Location of offices ?  
 
Our offices are located in prudhoe , Yes we got the old solicitors above the estate agents and accountants, this is just our offices.
Cars are not stored in prudhoe but near the port of tyne in south shields.
 
and yes the White FC you seen up there was most likely me, we got bollocked for parking our cars outfront , so have had to start parking in the designated parking round the back.  (cant say i seen another fc round there though )
 
3. Ramirez , yes this is the same car mate, it was great then just driving along at 50mph no hard accelerating or anything it just felt like it ran out of petrol (knew it hadnt cause had just put half a tank of optimax in) turned it off , towed home , then no compression in rear rotor.

(DOES ANYONE KNOW IF SHELL OPTIMAX WAS AFFECTED BY THE POLLUTED FUEL IN THE UK???)
 

If you guys need any questions answering be sure to give us a shout.
 
and chris if you spot me mate gimme a beep ,
 
ill only be in either a white wrx sti , Black r32 gtr or Silver fd3s.

[G@NDY]

In a few weeks i might be in the market for an FC, one with a blown engine and preferrably a kit on, such as the Re-Amemiya and suspension/drivetrain mods. What are the chances of finding me one of these in White:Typing :Thumbsup!

Cheers Andy

[D2BBA]

Nice to hear of someone starting an import company in the local area mate, well done!

Keep a look out for my RE Amemiya FD as you drive about (especailly during the summer months)!
