Does anyone import 'interesting' EPs anymore?

[turbo-geoff]

I've owned ep's for 5/6 years now and have noticed that there's been a steady decline in the number of ex track/tuning company/bonkers ep's being imported. I might be on the lookout for something a bit different soon (but must be a jap build ) and the vast majority of cars available in the UK are either modified on the cheap or have the all too common td04 etc.

Obviously they're an old car with an ever decreasing number available but surely someone must still be hunting the fun ones down?

Any links to something a bit different would be greatly appreciated!

problem is all the cool ones from japan are either bought already or just too expensive. people dont like to spend anything on them anymore. parts are alot more plentiful and cheap.

when i first got mine i was down at toyota every other week. parts were quite expensive. over the last few years i have been going less and less as aftermarket parts are easier to get hold of and lots of people are breaking them now.

Japan still holds onto some epic EP's mate. I reckon the true enthusiasts over there will not sell up unless they have to.

Found these the other night so highly modded ones are definitely there for the taking: Clicky

Thats very true Jay,i found a website all very interesting eps,but not for sale.
Track eps are the japs second car,while the daily drive is a boring car.
Sure thing,the japs build is another story.
Their favourite turbo seems to be the blitz k1!

I'd agree there, it'll be the same here too as we all get older and more sensible. Family will come first and the EP's will become shed queens saved for the weekends. A case of history repeating. Looking forward to it lol..
