Carl,
did you import the car from the UK or Japan ?

Welcome! I was in Grand Cayman about 2 years ago. I saw way more modded cars than I ever would have expected. I took a tons of car pics, I'll have to dig them up tonight and post them in here. Aftermarket parts must be pretty expensive.

Yep, you are right, the garage that i rep has alot of imports. Since late last year, the island has been FLOODED with Evo''s, mostly Evo 3's

. Got Couple 6's & 7's. Lot's a Skylines

, and to a lesser extent Rx7's and Imps. Honda's & turbo starlets are all over the place. I'd like to see those pic's if u can find em.

I'll definitely get those pics up ASAP. They're on my external hard drive at home. I meant to do it last night but I stayed at my girlfriend's house. I recognized most of the Euro car brands but there were a few I've never seen nor heard of.

I noticed most of the cars we also see in the States had different head lamp / tail lamp configurations, mostly Euro-spec I'm guessing. In general, most of the cars also had city lights in the head lamps which was cool to see (I had to order a set of OEM Hella Euro-spec/E-code lights for my Jetta to get the city lights). I always liked they way they look before sunset. The '06-07 WRXs have them now but I don't think there's way to get them to run independently from the headlights, even if the daytime running lights are disabled.

I noticed this too. As of this past summer, it seemed to be a recurring theme throughout the Caribbean (even as far south as Granada). It kept me wondering, where have these cars come from, were they bought new, where do the aftermarket parts come from, is there even anywhere on a small island to open the throttle without killing someone?

When I read the thread title, I was hopeful that ClubWRX had managed to draw in a Porsche Cayman owner. I might have been disappointed, but I was treated to some nice pics of a classic WRX on Grand Cayman instead.

Lol, most of these cars are 2nd hand, as for parts we buy em from states or direct from Japan. As for the small island talk,

lol U'd be surprised at how much fun we have in such a small island
