Greetings from San Francisco Bay Area!!!
There is a very high likelihood that my wife and I will be relocating to Dublin in early 2008. That being said, I have a 2007 STI Limited that I'm quite attached to, so I'd like to bring it with me to Ireland. I've owned this amazing car a bit over 12 months, but I've only driven 5000 miles due to extensive business travel.
Last month we spent 3 weeks on holiday in the UK, mostly London and Scotland, and I saw quite a few lefties on the road...so I know it's do-able. I'm also aware that I need to install the side repeaters, which isn't a problem, I can do that here. The only mods to my car are tinted windows, upgraded brake pads and a stainless APS 3" turbo back exhaust with a Cobb Access Port and custom pro-tuning. The car runs well and makes good power (no detonation, 10.8:1 AFR) and is set up to run on crappy 91 octane California gas. Can I assume that your petrol is better than the junk they sell here in the Republic of Kalifornia?
Other than than the side repeaters, what else would I need to do to import my STI into Ireland? Does Ireland have emissions testing and is my exhaust legal? I've kept my complete stock exhaust and it would only take a few hours to change it back if necessary.
So, what do you guys think? I'm going to have more questions and I thank you all in advance for your time!
Cheers,
