heard good things bout IMG, but not sure how i'd go about it. flying up to syd and driving back isnt a problem, just not sure about compliancing it in melb with HID and privacy glass etc. too much headache, rather buy one here and theres no decent EP3s for private sale :(

Not on carsales, have a look on clubitr mate

You should be able to contact IMG about it, cause I know several compliance centres have previously sent cars from NSW to different states without issues.

Alternatively you can contact import brokers such as Iron Chef, Prestige Motorsport, J-Spec, etc and they can help find you an EP3R then have a compliance centre in VIC do it for you :)

ok so the last annoying noise has been fixed and then today this bad boy started! It only does it in the rain, only sometimes does it, usually when engine under load... Kind of sounds like exhaust knocking but I would have thought it would do that all the time?

The only other thing I can think of is if it is one of the heat shields under the car vibrating when the water from the road comes up maybe? ERGH no idea! Thoughts?
