Interested. Did you come across any issues transferring rego to victoria in regards to compliance?

Very tempting, if only it was a manual.

Okay, i've been without my Alto for a good 6 months now, and while it was the bane of my existence for quite some time, there's a longing for something just like it back in my life. So, if anyone has an Alto Works RSX/RSR (1989 or newer, round headlight) models for sale, that's already complied and ...

The block is the same.

2WD or 4WD trans, John?

notorious little things for breaking, hopefully the cappa sports gear is well built.

Very nice, the Alto Works F5A engine transplant :D Not sure i'd personally pay $8k for it, but it looks like it's worth it or close to it. You won't get 15" rims stock on any MB, actually looks like you'd get some scrub at full lock with those. I know we had huge issues with scrub on the later ...

You mean the ugly rabbit logo thing? surely not! I'd rather a Nissan Cube, and I think we're actually getting those locally soon enough (to compete with the Mini and Fiat 500)

J-Spec (http://www.j-spec.com.au/) has recently released information that the Mitsubishi eK (a.k.a. Nissan Otti) may be able to be complied through the SEVS scheme. The price is high, and for that money i'd probably be looking at a Smart, especially since the eK/Otti only comes with an automatic tra...

Regulations for NZ import are living there 1 year with the car and using it as your primary means of transport (including log book).

Regardless, there is a meaningful update in the Kei SEVS saga.

Short answer is that you are restricted to 1988 cars, unless you bring in a personal import (and pay Import Duty on it.) I'll be importing at least one Suzuki Kei Works through NZ when I go over there to work for a year or so. Import from Japan to NZ (or buy one which has already been imported), liv...

With the Windscreen goto Windscreens Obriens. They has a weird listing for an alto with other windscreen places didn't. you never know it may just fit. If you measure your screen, top to bottom in the middle and left to right at the widest point i can tell you if it will fit. Nope, a forum member h...

The new owner is from Kempsey, NSW. His son also has an alto works (green one with a F6A (possibly K6A) engine), so hopefully they can find their way here.

Sale concluded. Car is now gone to a great home, to a true kei car maniac

Sad to see it go, but it had it's time and I'll find a new hot hatch project to drain my pockets.

Sold pending payment.

Thanks for the interest.

I ran the engine over the weekend, the fuel is a couple of years old so it's not surprising it was pinging at idle. I didn't get to drive it so not sure how it boosts. I wasn't keen to do so as i'm not sure whether the turbo is actually getting an oil feed (the turbo that originally came with the ca...
