Welcome to the club, Claudio.

That's a nice looking FD. When did you get it?

Hey Kent, I got it a few months ago, I imported it from Japan (Osaka), and I'm still doing all the paperwork needed to make it legal to drive here in Spain, is a tough task but I have hope :-).

In the meantime I started to collect a few parts (new AST, new spark plugs), and fix a few things, one of the retractable headlights is broken (I'm waiting for the motor) and the rear wing (99spec, not the one in the picture) was cracked. I will continue with more mods and fixes later, mostly reliability mods.

another picture:

Cool. What part of Spain is Albatera in? I have travelled around Spain a bit (Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Segovia, Ibiza, etc.). It is a nice country. I'll have to get back there someday and explore some more.

Hopefully, it is easier making that car legal in Spain compared to the US. Here, it is nearly impossible to make a JDM car legal. Good luck.

Albatera is a small town in the province of Alicante (South East of Spain).

About legalize the car here in Spain, is very difficult too, because of the restrictive gas emission regulations, but this past year the government relaxed the law a bit, and if I can get a certificate from the manufacturer, or a legal representative, stating that the car complied with the regulations that were in Spain in the year of first registration, there will be no problem.

The problem is that the manufacturer has not obligation or interest, and it can be very tricky to get it.

I'm on it :-)

Cool, you are welcome, let me know if you come by here some day :-).

I have travelled around some countries, but I have not even been in the states yet, some day I'll have to go. :-)

Nice FD man, I really miss spain. I spent some time in sevilla, and Cadiz. The women there are so amazingly hot. All the spanish people would say loco Americano cause I used to jump off the bridge in Sevilla by that massive cathedral and the gold tower. Fun times, you wouldn't happen to have a single sister over the age of 18 would you ?
