Yes, but there is still a larger category of imports there than there is here...

guys, wake up.

in America (where the OP is from), cars not made in that country are called "imports".

even if they are DOMESTIC market vehicles...

so in AU - a Honda is an "Import"

I am in town until May I am thinking about moving here also depending on if I can adjust my lifestyle to fit down here. There quite a few things that is different than back at home in the states. But pretty much I am doing work with some family over here but they are all old so they don't leave the house or go anywhere.

I guess there is always some sort of differences in the english language. like what you guys call prawns we call it shrimp because prawns are usually about twice the size. but what we consider as import cars are cars that aren't made in america which is all the japanese, korean and european cars. domestic cars are ford and anything by general motors and chryslers.

But really I keep an open mind about cars and and mods. I like modifying and doing work to all cars just Honda's have to be my fav. Back in America I have a 4dr Integra GS-R which is the equivilent to your VtiR But I ripped out the motor and put in a Built Motor with Turbo and have everything JDM interior and exterior. Right now my set up is

I haven't had a chance to dyno my car yet because I didn't finish the interior and put my windows back in before I came over here to Melbourne. But everything is almost there Hopefully When I get back in May I should have it done with in a week. I hoping to make about 600+. Also I was trying to find junkyards are shops where I could possible look for stuff to take home.

List of things I am looking for:
Yellow ITR interior
Bumper Sensors
ummm Cant think of anything else. Pretty much I am trying to find stuff that they don't have in America. I was planning on trying to buy a car and ship it back home. But laws for importing vehicles are pretty strict. It's no probably having the car in America. It is just a problem registering it. But if anyone knows anything about this stuff lmk. Cheers
