All Iron Chef customers please read - this may apply to you!

My agent in Japan, bless him, decided to do a spring clean and send out the service books for all the cars I've bought for the last 5 years or so (you should've seen the size of the package, it was hilarious!).

Anyway, go and check your chassis numbers, as some of these may belong to you. I've just listed the last 6 digits and what I've got here. Remember, even if you didn't import it through me, the person you bought it from may have

If your number is up, shoot me a PM if you want the stuff, and I'll send them out for a flat $10.

400743 - service books, Japanese owner's manual
300291 - full service history, lots of interesting stuff
300106 - service books, Japanese owner's manual
201244 - CD stacker cartridge?!
301302 - service books
201556 - spare key of some kind

I'll add more as I keep digging...

I got the service books sent separately when you got the car, but you never know if there's something else lol

not really too fussed, unless its something intereting.

pics of the package!

I'm assuming this does not apply to me?

 

[BuzzPuppy]

Oh man... I'm at work and I wish I were at home right now to check out Loki's chassis number!

[edit] Woohoo! Found a PDF deep within my gmail which happens to be an Iron-Chef invoice with chassis number but alas, my number is not listed... yet!

I don't quite understand why your agent doesn't supply the books with the car... to me it just seems a given. It's not like they're useful for anything else.

Owners are reluctant to leave them in their cars because they often get nicked at auction (so car dealers can get cars with wound back kms and say they have service history - buyers generally never check the chassis numbers, they just see the books and think it's all good) so what happens is the auction house stores them. The books are then sent out to my agents, but they often don't receive them until after the car has already left the country.

Wouldn't have some 18" SSRs to go with a certain chassis number Kris? *joking*

I reckon with every one of these kind of threads, it gives me a reason to go fossicking about.

1) Flare in the flare holder? Nope
2) Interesting things found in the car? x38 1-yen coins (rattle problem gone) and for some bizarre reason, underwear tags (size 4-6) found under the carpet in the front passenger well once I lifted it up.
3) ECU? 7201 here
4) This thread!

It'd be interesting to see what the history of the car is though.
