Amazing pictures as always.
Thank you as always.:beer:


That's just plain awesome! Have always loved your car. Remind me aren't you the only 03 Cobra on the island? Do you have to abide by the 45,000 mile replace engine rule or whatever it is?
Thank you.:beer:
No, I think mine is one of four, others are SB coupe, MG coupe, SY vert, all cars are/were in same region but I met only SY vert, and unfortunately I heard SB was totaled, MG went ricer by first owner:bash: and sold to second owner in another far away island.
Pics of mine and my friend's SY vert are here. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?1009213-Snake-to-Running-Horse

BTW, what is 45,000 miles replace engine rules? I've never heard it.:shrug:


I know this has been covered previously, but is it as expensive to import a USDM car into Japan as it Is to import a JDM vehicle into USA?
I don't know how much expensive you gauys pay for JDM cars into USA, I paid extra $15,000 for behalf of purchase from ex owner, import, some mods for legal in my country, detailing and registration.

great pics, looks very nice over there, any chance you would like to do some export taillight hunting for 94-98 mustangs and the mirrors as well? your time and finds will be compensated for.
Thank you.:beer:
I exported those staff from my old Cobra to another SVTP member last year.
I think junk parts in my country are expensive, and of course shipping costs are expensive too.:bash:


Ah, snow. I don't want to see anymore of it! haha. Nice clean Cobra!
Haha, me too.:)
Thank you.:beer:

Thank you Bob, as always.:beer:
I heard that snow wall is 26ft high, yes a lot of snow!


Awesome shots!! I never get tired of seeing photos with cool american cars in foreign countries!
Thank you.:beer:
Some members from foreign countries in here, Europe, Middle East, Oceania and of course Asia, so you can see pictures of their American muscle cars in here.:rockon:


Beautiful cobra and country!
What do the locals think about the power of the terminator?
Thank you.:beer:
Most of Japanese car guys like old American muscle cars and latest muscle cars, so middle generation muscle cars are forgotten.:bash:

Apparently their emissions law is very strict. It's the reason you see so many 40k mile JDM engines for sale on Ebay. It's cheaper for them to part out the car than it is to keep it up to par to pass the emissions testing. Some info on it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_used_vehicle_exporting
It's no such rules in my country.
Strict vehicle inspection comes in at first registration, after 3 years, then every 2 years.
So, people thinking sell their cars at 3 years, 5 years, 7 years...
Ordinary people never thought about buy a new engine. If they have to change engine, they will buy a car, not an engine.

#38 is my favorite too.

Thank you Ryan, as always.:beer:
Okay I made some wp pics for you, unfortunately new SVTP can't embed 1920x1080 photos.:bash:
Sorry.

Man, you don't need expensive large dslr cameras. Mine is EOS-M, Canon's compact system camera. It's enough to take fine pictures easy.:burnout:

Thank you Tim, as always.:beer:
Haha, I will welcome you anytime:beer:, but unfortunately I can't speak English well.:bash:
