hey all,
I have a cousin that went to Japan for 3 weeks and is staying with a friend of his there that has an RX-7. anyways, he told me that if I wanted anything for my car that I should tell him and he will do his best to find it (his buddy has hookups at a shitload of shops). Anything good for an LS that would be strictly in japan? Not looking as much bling bling, more use, although I might have him pick me up one of those trust 3point strut bars.

thanks

 

Depends on how much your wanting to spend, heres some ideas JDM shift boot, steering wheel, and oh yeah go crazy with a new front end..

 

Individual Throttle Bodies are alot cheapier there, or that i hear so.

 

EVERYTHING!!!

I would get some seats or steering wheels, or awe man there is so much I would want

 

If you can only get stuff that he could carry on a plane I would say get a steering wheel! SRS or non whatever you like. Maybe a JDM ITR shift **** and boot! Definately try and get a wheel though! Hell, if for no other reason sell it to me

 

yea i was thinking steering wheel, shift boot or shift ****. Could someone please post a pic of them for me? Also about the throttle bodies, which one would I want to get if it was for a LS thats going turbo??

 

Get all the mugen stuff you can find that kingmotorsports rapes you for. Also the Spoon stuff should be cheaper. Get youself a Catz HID kit while at it too. They don't sell them here anymore.

 

ghonorrea...fun to say...not fun to have. LOL

sorry, I just couldn't resist. Don't get that over there!

But, just about everything is cheaper over there. You could probably buy a used Type R, 98 Spec, for like $5000 USD.


Let us know what you decide to ge though!

 

how much do you guys think a type r front end costs in japan?...and is mugen stuff really a lot cheaper there?

a right side drive conversion would be sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

does anyone know how much a jdm front would cost out there...im just curious what we get ripped off for

 

Toshiba DLP projector

 

I'd get some brides and some exclusive JDM rims(sell em for quadruple the price).

 

hahaha if i asked my cuz for half that **** he would **** a brick, espically the seats he would prolly hang up on me! but seriously what kinda mugen or spoon items that are resonable in the price range (not rich right now ) should I tell him for a 00 LS? Also how much do you think the JDM shift boot or shift **** or Steering wheel cost???

 

ya i think a right hand conversion is a little to much, but maybe he can get the subframe as carry on

Dee was sayin' they go for ~$500

 

damn...500 seems too cheap for a bumper, fenders, headlights, hood, and a radiator support

doode if ITB's are cheaper get those man, they run round 2,000 here, and if what is said is correct that could save some good dollars

 

You can buy a complete but wrecked ITR for less than $2k. $500 is the cost of a JDM frontend with the headlights taking up the bulk of the cost.

 

gotta love how we get raped in the ***( no lube) for those front ends, eh?

talk about getting it dry itb.

 

yeah my buddy went to japan and went to a junkyard and got a whole front end for a couple hundred bucks

 

My new '94 GSR cost me $1400. The repair shop owner used this car as the gopher car for buying food and drinks. No, it did not come with those wheels.


To get back to the original subject: a lot of new small items have been released since TAS '04 so you might want to comb through magazines. 320mm Momo Race steering wheels can be purchased from Autobacs for $140, Defi gauges might be cheaper over here, and so forth.

If your friend finds a large shop they might ship stuff back to the US for you.

 

1400? Thats a good price, they must have just killed that thing.

Delivery car... I know I would have.
