Ive got the late 08 facelift model from japan with the hid lights , my insurance first year was only 245.00 as i had another car with them , second year they stopped doing jap imports and i had to rush somewhere else that almost doubled it to 460, i am going to try adrian flux later this year . Whats that thing on top of your dash ? i got my speedo converted in japan to mph but when i matched the gps to it , its reading about 9% fast which is a little annoying , i could go 19 wheels and slightly increase the sidewall but just living with it and i have converted the legal speeds in my mind when driving (:. How do you use the paddle shifts ? i find the delay on upshift frustrating , also if you increase the throttle too much to overtake it goes to auto kickdown which also annoys, i tend to just drive mine in auto . thats probably my only slight complaint about the car , the early paddle shift design is just a little too delayed
