Hi

 

Have put down deposit on a 94 TT dues to arrive in UK in early Jan. have spoken to the dealer and requested he fit TRL speedo/delimiter and not fit crappy fogflight hanging off.

 

What else should I ask him to do before it is MOT ed and I pick it up?

 

Any advice welcome:)

Also check speed rating on the tyres - I've had imports come across with snow tyres before that look like normal low profile tyres, one Supra like that - they were only rated to about 90mph and I'd driven it errrrr slightly more than that! :eek:

 

Tracking is quite important as Nic has said, roads there are cambered in one slope from side to side for drainage where as in the uk they are cambered in a slope either way from the middle for drainage and as such they set the camber in Japan for the car to drive straight in these circumstances which can mean uneven tyre wear if left like that here.

 

HTH,

 

Brian.
