nice rx man
shame about the electrical issues - you goin to fix those things or just get rid of the a/c completely?

p.s you should get some surrounds for those lights - mazdatrix and a few other places sell replacements

We have 5 or 6 3-4hour lessons and another 5 or 6 hours of driving lessons and then you have to pass a written test and driving test. I dont know whats it like in any other countryes but i think our system is pretty good.

What is the cost on Importing. there FD's are pretty cheap like 4-10k for a nice looking FD.

but does it cost like 5k to import it aswell?

I want my self a RHD FD or Even a RHD FC.

I dont know for other countries but our taxing is HARD on cars.
My FD:s cost:
Price (including transport) 4335$
Toll 10% and Vat(or what it is duno) 22% 1132$
Tax 20,2% and Vat 22% 2084$ (i had THE LOWEST TAXES EVER in Finland for an FD)
First Inspection on imported car 248$
Total to make it road legal >7799$<
My car is by far the cheapest FD ever in Finland, i had so great deal on the car itself and i got SOOOOOO lucky with the taxing.
