The mag shop in Osborne Park.

Can anyone tell me if they have closed down?

Been there 3 times now during business hours and they were shut.

Turned up at 4 today and there is a sign to say will be open at 10.30am tomorrow but don't know how long that sign has been there.

have you tried ringing them? they should probably give you a straight answer.

the site also says "We are currently in the process of opening our brand new store in Osbourne Park", perhaps they are only open for a few hours so they can set everything up?

I didn't think they were open on a Saturday; they weren't on the couple of Saturdays that my friend and I went to have a look. This was a few months ago however. I pass them on a regular basis and didn't get the impression that they were closing.

took 3wks to get my wheels, which initially was sposed to only take 4 days. never got any calls to say there was a delay, had to call them EVERY TIME.

got given wrong lock nuts, now i need 4 new studs.

customer service, they have none.....

u get what u pay for i guess, i am very happy with the wheels but thought that dealing with a local company would have been easier than dealing with over east, now i regret it....

Just got my tyres from a bloke called Javed at WestState Autobarn in East Perth, just next door to the Golf box at the East end of the tunnel.

I can't vouch for dealing with him extensively as he just put 2 tyres on some rims for me, but he had a Sh*tload of rims floating around there. Big ones too. Can anyone say 19"x13"?!?

Could be worth a look...

Chris,

Buy direct from japan. I got my works wheels recently through Perfect Run, took about 10 days door to door and saved a heap of cash... The guys there are great, have bought a lot of stuff and never had a problem.

They don't list rims on their website, but tell them what you want and they get it....

Highly recommend them...

Even with customs duty, gst and inspection fees it was still over $600 cheaper than any local shop could supply them for...

cheers

Brett

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
