Can I ask why you didn't just buy a Jdm teg in the first place? Lol I mean there's little between them in insurance and Jdm usually have less rust and are probably cheaper to buy. Just seems like a strange thing to do.
yeah sure
JDM Tegs are more expensive for a good one, especially in 98 spec guise (which is basically a UKDM)
JDM insurance is simply a no go for me, my current insurer wouldn't even give me a quote (where as aesthical mods are fine)
Finally the main point really, its hard to buy a good teg now. Mines had recent clutch cam belt etc, so I wanted to keep the mechanical side of it
and the whole front end cost me £104 and a day or so of graft to pull off, so nothing really!
