Steve Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 OK this is a shameless plug for a business (mods please dont get too angry) - we gotta get behind the local businesses, 'cos if its good for them, its good for us:) D1 Garage has opened its doors a few weeks ago. Owned by James Vahoumis, he has been around for a while but has decided to give things a shot on his own He's a pretty helpful guy (as is Richard, who is working for him) and has heaps of experience in Japan and australia. I have got a couple of things (twin plate, zorst, pillar pod, guage, cams and cam gears) - he is really competative and has a pretty good range of second hand gear. So if you need something, give them a call (8294 1355) or visit at 120 Mooringe ave N. Plympton. - definately worth a look if your out that way. end plug Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/17408-new-kid-on-the-block-sort-of/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted June 3, 2003 Author Share Posted June 3, 2003 James was with JMS, but is now out on his own. There is a website, but its not very up to date, its an interim one but will be updated when James gets back from Japan, www.d1garage.com Its my first attempt at a website, so any suggestions are good:) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/17408-new-kid-on-the-block-sort-of/#findComment-359995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 3, 2003 Author Share Posted June 3, 2003 I'll jhave a word to him - discount for SAU members! Realistically though, I walked in on recommendation from a guy from work and he did me some good deals without knowing me from a bar of soap. But I will definately put the hard word on him about SAU.

Nightcrawler Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 man that's harsh even for a joke .... nice effort for a first try .... it's a long and complicated process .... made much easier nowadays by the various programs out there - you dont have to do the hard work manually inputting html like I learnt to when I was at Uni!

Steve Posted June 3, 2003 Author Share Posted June 3, 2003 Nightcrawler, nah its cool, I'm used to it from hippy - just cant help himself, but he gets as good as he gives Why be scared hippy - do you find old men scary? did you have a bad experience in your youth that your not telling anyone about? go to a catholic school eh? Ahhh, just cant help it. sorry if I offended any catholics. by the way, if anybody wants anything from Japan, James is over there at the moment, so if you ring the shop they can get in touch with him for any special orders - hopefully I got me some Bride brix seats coming:D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/17408-new-kid-on-the-block-sort-of/#findComment-360929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted June 4, 2003 Author Share Posted June 4, 2003 Well he told me probably around 1K for 2 seats with rails landed- second hand but in very good (like new) condition. Spose it depends on what he ends up getting them for, but with the yen weaker against the dollar, I'm hoping it will be less rather than more. What do Faz toys do/sell?
