I am interested in a car that Newera Imports has in stock right now. Any one has any experience with them before I make my trip to the UK?

The car in question is in Norfolk and is this:

damn if youve got the cash do it, but seriously the euro/yen or gbp/yen rate has devalued 50% lower against the yen than this time last year - if you insist on spending it may be better to go direct to japan! And cheaper as there is no middle man!

You are right Kitkat, but going to Japan is not like going to the UK, where I can get on a plane and be there in 2 and a half hours. I can just do it without planning so to speak, whereas if I go to Japan I have to plan much more things, stay longer etc....

Besides to ship it from the UK I do have connections there, where as in Japan I'd be on my own.

If you don't buy that one but are interested in buying via a UK importer, get in touch with 200bhpcars.com Andy is very well thought of in the DC5 world and I bought an FD2 off him totally trouble free and as cheaply as it can be.

Miguel of New Era is a well respected guy.

Unless the car is actually in the country (doubt it will be) I wouldn't import anything right now. These types of company will be folding left right and centre (double whammy with the crunch and the Yen) so you could lose your money.

The car is at a dealer in Norfolk, not far from Norwich airport. Anyone passing by can dropin, dealers name is Browns.

I bought my FTO from Miguel of Newera fame. I had no hesitation contacting him again when I was looking for an S2K, but in that case it was cheaper to buy one here.

I've only bought parts from NewEra.

But I'd spoken to him about importing a few times.

Seems well respected.
