Yes I am sure, because my friend just bought Altezza in Japan and he is waiting for the car to arrive to Sydney. He told me that he will not pay 15% of the purchase price. He should get it in about 3-4 weeks, and then I will let you know. I will sell my car in March and will try to bring Altezza to Sydney (If I will not change my mind and buy S15 :D ). I think it is possible to bring Altezza to Australia, because I have seen few on the roads.

I have done a bit of research about it and found that you do not have to pay 15% of the purchase car (you will save about $5000), because it is personal import. You have to provide documents that you have owned a car overseas for at least 12 months You can find this information on www.dotars.gov.au (search for importing vehicle) Can you tell me how fast is your car? What mods do you have? Thanks ;)

Lexus cars are not popular to modify in Australia and I have never seen modified Altezza in Sydney. It is difficult to find a tuning workshop, which would be able to modify Altezza. So who knows a place in Sydney which can tune Altezza RS200? Are they good or not?

Yep, Blitz cost twice the price of other filters. I hope it is better than others. What about changing ecu? Is it worth it? I do not know about Altezzas, but with my car I had little gains until I changed ecu.

Thanks for the info. $2500 for all these parts!!! It is cheap I spent same money just on my exhaust!!! WRX parts are expensive I already have 18” by 7.5” Racing Heart wheels on my car, so I do not have to buy new wheels, I will put them on RS200. I will have around $5000 to spend on mods. I have done a bit of research on the net and decided to get these parts: Blitz Ram Pod Filter, Apexi Hayabusa Exhaust, Apexi S AFC-II and HKS Headers. What do you think about these mods?

How many kilowatts at the wheels (atw)? Filter AU$200 AFC-II AU$500 Exhaust AU$1500 Headers AU$2000 So for around $5000 I can get 40hp. Will it go from 0-100 under 6 seconds or low 6s? Thanks for help ;)

How can I edit avatar from my computer. I have tried few times but nothing happened. Size is 150 by 112 and its 27kb jpg format.

I have decided to get myself Altezza RS200 if I sell my car B) Hopefully in one or two month I will have it. I am not familiar with NA cars (wrx is my first car), so I need some info about modifications. First thing I am going to buy a filter and full exhaust. What should I do next? What else can I do? I do not want to do a turbo or supercharger because it will be difficult to sell the car in the future.

To:Greeneyes I thought about this idea before, it might be cheaper this way. I will find out, but these are the basic duties I have to pay for the car For how much can I get RS200 and AS300? How fast are they from 0-100? In Sydney I have to pay 10% of GST for everything, like shipping, insurance etc. Also I have to pay 15% of the car price, which would be estimated in Sydney :( . And some registration fees (less than $1000). I think AU$5000-7000 would cover all expenses plus car price.

Hi I want to import Altezza RS200 to Sydney Can sombody tell me can I do it or not? Thanks for help.

What the f***!!! :o I hate OZes for that. All nice cars are not allowed in OZ Are you sure? Because friend of mine is getting one in two months!

As I mentioned before I have MY01 wrx with 140atw and it goes from 0-100 in about 5-5.5seconds. I thought I can do something like that with Altezza :( . I am in Sydney and after I sell my car I will have around AU$30.000 to spend. I probably can get a turbo kit, but how fast will it go. Is it better to get a 3.0L and modify it? Will it go faster than 2.0L? What would be the power of 2.0L with filter and exhaust? How fast 2.0L with simple mods would it be? Sorry about so many questions? Thanks for the info

Hi, everybody! I just joined this forum and want to find out some information about the car. I currently own a wrx, but thinking to buy Altezza RS200. But I am a bit confused about its specifications. Can somebody tell me does RS200 have a turbo???
