late model commodores are easy to mod and get power out of them
and because they r late model they are ok by the rta
even with their semi loud exhausts and stuff
the late model stuff is going ok most people can afford a late model ford or holden
the stuff that is over 15 or 20 years old is what they r all trying to get rid off

some of the jap import stuff and conversions has slowed down
it doesnt help that the hoons drive alot fo jap stuff and are always in the media for bad things so the cops are always trying to get rid of those cars

the big car manufacturers would rather u buy their cars than waste money on an icv or something over maybe 10 years old so they push this idea to the rta and since the rta make money from these bug manufacturers they are best of friends

luckily the crate motors have helped lately and they r running low in australia
so now most people buy em from usa

the jap import scene is struggling cause the days of the good old jap performance motors are not as good in th elate model cars
might only be afew motros worth purchasing in the newer cars

the newer motors being made in the jap cars are dull n boring these days
and more go for small throw away cars there are no real interesting motors in japan these days that in 5 or 8 years time might become good conversion motors

thank god the usa has alot of crate motors and looks like they will always be available
