The 5 Step Process

1: Hand Picked For You

Using our knowledge and experience built up over the years we can guide you as to which cars and auctions will best suit your needs.

2: Inspection

Once we have located a suitable vehicle, we arrange for our Japanese team to inspect the vehicle in the flesh. Only if the engineers report meets both yours and our standards will we bid up to a pre-agreed budget.

3: Purchase

We agreed a sale! The Japanese car costs are now due and your vehicle will be deregistered in Japan. It’s then transported to our secure compound and booked on the next vessel for export. At this stage you will be emailed a detailed photo album.

4: Stress Free import

We’ve been doing this for years. With our added value service we take care of all the hassle involved in the process. We’ll be able to give you a more accurate ETA at this point.

5: Drive Away

Once at Torque GT your vehicle will undergo all necessary UK conversions and compliance testing before UK registration. At this stage we can discuss any extra servicing work, upgrades, underbody protection of detailing services that you require before collection.

Importing a vehicle from Japan costs much more than the purchase price alone, total landed cost includes the vehicle, buyer’s fees, shipping, UK duty and VAT, and compliance/registration. This should all be factored in within your total budget.

Spoon sports storage

100% recommend for storing small items in on 5 boxes now and once a few more arrive in stock will order another 2/3! It’s an addiction.

Spoon Sports High Flow Air Filter - Civic Type R FL5
Anonymous
Nice upgrade!

I have a 2025 FL5 and wanted to hear the turbo sounds more, but didn’t want to mess up my warranty, or having insurance issues fitting a carbon airbox or induction kit. This just fits in really easily in a couple of minutes, anyone could do it and really makes a difference! Turn the engine sounds into the comfort setting and away you go! You can now really hear the turbo building up pressure and then dumping it when you lift off. Even more so with the windows open a bit. It’s quite entertaining!

Spoon sports rear strut bar EK9

Easy enough to fit. Just got to measure up for the access holes you have to cut with a 80mm whole cutter attachment for a drill. Then the stands go in and patiently get the bolts back on. Then tighten with a 14mm ratchet. Then place the bar in and done. I Google translated the instructions. Image on this review.
