Hello all!

Long time no seen. I just got a phone call the other night from a person that said he wanted to buy my car (1994 Mazda RX-7 Type R - JDM). If he actually buys it (32 000$) I would have to get a new car.

Ever since I wrecked my old 99' ST I've kinda wanted to get another one, but this time I want 4wd, so it's going to be a GT-Four. A couple for sale atm for around the same as my old car might sell for. So the financial part is already OK. Big question is of course the condition of the car.. Most GT-Fours are raped, literaly. Body kits, huuge aluminum wings, ripped out AC, huge stereo taking up all the trunk space+++..

It's like a year since I was in here last time, but I can still remember alot of names, and it's really great to read up on a couple of projects that are finished since last time

If I can't find a decent mint condition car in Norway I will have to import one. JDM vs Euro spec is going to be a hard one, and I know people that can get me bought..

I guess I'm kinda hoping to be able to come back.. The 6gc community is just great

Not in Norway, is that so hard to understand? Cars cost twice as much in Norway, compared to Sweden, or Germany.. We pay a large tax on engine size (1998 cc), weight of the car (I'm guessing 1350 kg or so?) and horsepower rating (242~ish). + we pay 25% tax on the actual car value.

So a 10 000$ car would cost 12 500$ + the above mentioned tax calculated on engine size, weight and horsepower. Would end up around 21 000$ or more.

A G35 in Norway would cost like.. More than 100 000$ US.. The Evo 8/9, or Impreza STi costs around 100 000$ in Norway. Prices are crazy. Why do you think I get so much for my RX-7? And next year they are increasing the taxes on cars.. Calculating tax based on the Co2 per kilometer (polution) instead of engine size. And also increasing the horsepower and weight tax even more.

I'm telling you, it's pure evil. 34 000$ US for a GT-Four is actually kinda cheap here. There are a few others for sale around 40 000$.
