Rezz

Oh boy, I should`ve mentioned that I`ve got a business starting up on October 1st aswell... It`s gonna take a while, thats all I can say right now. Sorry!

I`d would`ve liked to have seen that... were you in the drivers seat?

Steve, could you PM me with your e-mail address? Thanks:)

Might I be of assistance?

About the Auction sheet, the car has stone chips in the paint, and scratches. I don`t know their system of lettering they use for the severity of the damage, but on the whole it doesn`t seem bad. It does say something about a ??? member, and a ??? frame, but that guys writing is sooo f@cked up, it`s open to interpretation. By the way 10,000 points for the big scan, it helped heaps!

I`m half German/Australian, and my better half is Japanese;)

Thanks Jetdat, much appreciated! As far as technical data is concerened, I`m pretty much at the whim of magazines like Option2 and Drift Tengoku to do independent tests of the products I deal with. So far, they`ve just tested 3 or 4 cheap brands against each other, not against the big name brands though. I well aware that sometimes cheap = nasty, so I`ve screened everything before putting it on my website. So basically, if it isn`t vale for money and/or doesn`t improve performance/increase the driving experience, then I don`t want to sell it.

Oh yeah... my bad. Australiasia. Got it.

If it`s a New Zealand owned car, how can it be Australia`s fastest Turbo 4WD?

The Evo 6 GSR has power windows and auto air con... and central locking!

I remember years ago when some loaded Scotsman had it... Did he originally import it to the UK?

If EVERYBODY fought the cops in court over "police discretionary" offences (unrecorded speeding, street racing, burn-outs etc), eventually the rules would change? Then the cops would literally have to prove everything... which, in the end, they`d just let 80% of the people go, because they can`t prove anything. How it should be;)

Pivot is out there though isn`t it? I`m still hanging out for M2 to bring out there electronics goods... (drool) By the way, *M2* is the new super brand from Japan. These guys are unstoppable. They`ve gone from a little Titanium muffler for an EG Civic a few years back, to a complete (growing) line-up of super low-price goods, eg: A$285 (each) 17"x9.5" deep-dish alloy wheels... all developed in-house. It`s like they bring out a new product each month.

Thanks Jimbo, we won`t dissapoint!

The difference is materials, quality and price. Some of the 100,000+ yen Carbon bonnets on sale in Japan are a full carbon fibre bonnet panel, with an FRP skeleton frame underneath, meaning that when you open the bonnet, you can see carbon fibre weaving underneath. Legitimate 6-8kg bizness. But most of them are an FRP "under panel/frame", with a carbon fibre "top panel". Cheap, look good, and do the job.

Bloody hell, nice weather! That England??? Nice turn out too, I like the S-Tune.

It`s about time he posted up...:uh-huh:

Could you PM me your e-mail addy? I`ll sort it out from there. Cheers:)

Cheers:) Very good question... I was wondering when someone might ask this. Basically, Apex (in paticular) as well as HKS, Trust etc have the car electronics side of things tied up. No other "unknown brands" really produce anything up to par. Sure, plenty of Garages produce their own pre-programmed ROM or sports ECU`s, but they don`t sell them unless they fit them... pretty hard if your not in Japan. So until an "unknown brand" produces a good boost controller or AFC or Programmable ECU, it`s best that you buy one of the big name brands.

You haven`t seen my sig?

I agree;)

Thanks Jase:)

In Japan, "Carbon Fibre" Vented bonnets start at around A$1700. But even then, they have an FRP frame. For the street, these ones seem to be the best compromise... they`ve got more carbon fibre than the Carmate ones, yet are cheap enough for the younger guys to get a hold of (not implying $1700 is cheap though!). Just as a comparison, a REAL full-carbon fibre bonnet from Attkd... ... that weighs a genuine 3.5kg`s, will set you back A$4430. I guess you could say a full-carbon fibre bonnet was for racing use only, or really rich show ponies...

Got it Parag0n, I`ll make alternate arrangements... PM ya soon.
