Fc_2JZ

I don't plan to permanently live in NJ though, may return to NSW after some years of studying. I just thought the TC would be a good car for my lifestyle because of it's simplicity and the 2AZ engine, meaning that it wouldn't take much effort in finding new parts should any of the engine components go AWOL. For now I'll stick with my R31, might get a Nissan Cube.

Nah I wouldn't want to be seen dead in a Rukus...it's ugly as hell.

Scions are only worth roughly $10-15K in the US so I'm sure it'd cost way less than $140K. but I guess I'll get my hands on one of those when I move to NJ next year. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Yeah, Scions are only sold in LHD form so I guess I'll have to find a specialist which would be willing to convert the car. Though if I were to go to the trouble to get the car SEVS listed, would it set me back a dime?

Hello everyone. I'm 17 years old and halfway through my L's. I just thought that now would be a great opportunity to grab a brand new car to replace the crappy R31 sedan I've been stuck with for months and I never had the time to perform the proposed 1JZ engine and drivetrain swap. Looking through the new car market, there wasn't much I was interested in, whereas on the used car market there were plenty of grey-import JDM vehicles like the Skyline V35, Silvia S15 etc. However I did stumble across the Scion TC as a friend of mine in the US had one and I was instantly attracted to the car. Simple and funky styling, coupe body, great interior; this car pretty much was what I wanted. Google however wasn't much help to me as all I could dig up was a certain New York dealership that had no interest in exporting the car halfway around the world. So I was wondering if you guys could lend me a hand into finding a US auctioneer or exporter that would be willing to ship the TC from the US to Australia, as I really do want to get behind the wheel of one of those cars. Thanks! :) p.s. I know it's left hand drive, and I will learn to live with it.

Hello everyone! I just thought this would be a great community so i thought I'd sign up and hang around. Looking forward to meeting you guys!
