2003 Nogaro Blue purchased from auction in Japan for delivery to Toronto, Canada.
This post is a bit premature since it will take a long time to arrive but I am really excited, so what the hell eh.
That’s one thing about Jap imports. They are almost like new. No salt on the roads over there and people “enthusiasts” keep them immaculate. A friend of mine imported a RX7 couple years ago, wasn’t a single blemish on the paintwork. The rubber hoses, etc looked like new. Even though it was a 20+ year old car.
Good luck with the car when you get it, keep us updated
Thank you brotha. Yes, looking pretty good for 118,000kms. Although it's got the sagging headliner issue but I'm not stressin'. Definitely will be scouring the threads for ways to perfect this special car. I'm switching from a 2008 Toyota Yaris so this will be a world of difference.
Cheers

They are both very good looking carsHi all, for those interested below a pic of our S3's from South Africa.
The Mexico Blue one is my son Jason's car called "Smurfette" running R32 motor and air ride.
My Dolphin Grey one is called "OEM++" running a stroker motor and bigger turbo.

Hi mate welcome to the group. Car looks well
Is the black plastic trim pulled out of the way of the boot rubber? I'd a problem with mine and even after replacing the velcro on it it still sat up a bit.
I pulled the plastic forward and pushed the rubber on back and it's fine now.
It's a bit better but still has gaps. I think I'm just going to get a replacement strip and cap from the tradition site. Will respray the rear bumper anyhow. Trying to keep/get these cars mint is perpetual agony lol.Once you have it all lined up put something heavy on it to try take the curve out of it if it's still out of shape
Thanks Mate did it ourselves there are so many brands out there nowadays. The brand I used was GTECHNIQ Crystal Serum Ultra.Wow, car looks amazing. Where did you get the ceramic coating applied and was it very expensive?
Full decontamination then clay bar followed by two step cut and polish.What kind of prep did you do before applying it mate?
Recent addition to the garage. 2001 AMK. Also just picked up a mint set of nine spoke alloys and will keep Avus and interchange. Purchased to be fitted: cambelt, water pump, discs/pads/calipers all round. To be done: defuzz alcantara + more
