New Kid on the Block (sort of)

[Steve]

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

d1 garage = jms

correct me if im wrong.

[EnricoPalazzo]

Hmm i knew that surname rang a bell.

[Nozila]

since this is about new performance businesses, has anyone seen the new import dealer? called faz toyz down port road - i stop by and drowl at the cars whenever i visit my gf.

[Steve]

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:)

[Steve]

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.

[hippy]

thanks steve .. the more the better .. more competetive means better for consumers .. ie us

[hippy]

hey steve .. did u make that website?? well the only thing i can say is .. theres a book called ... "Websites for Dummies" ... i think its got ur name written all over it .. kidding ..

[Nightcrawler]

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!

[hippy]

i'm sure steve can take a joke .. else i'm stayin away .. if i met steve in the street and didn't know the guy .. i'd be scared ... seriously i would

[Steve]

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

[Miss*33]

Yeah Nozila I've seen Faz Toyz, it officially opened on Saturday I think... I've been keeping an eye on it for the last month or so!!!

[hippy]

bride seats?? thats going to be expensive ... how much are they going for??

[Steve]

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?

[Nozila]

faz toyz from its appearance is an importer. They have a show room on port rd with some very nice imports especially the skylines - r34 tt, r32 gtr?. Ill have a look on saturday if im down there -

[hippy]

where abouts on port rd is it?? i go on port rd almost everyday ...

[Nozila]

its right next to where pizza hut used to be heading towards the beach. Between there and the mazda dealer. You cant miss it, big sign with a showroom consisting of smick imports.

[hippy]

thats probably why i never see it cause i don't drive up that direction .. i drive towards the city but not back hehe

[Bl4cK32]

Hey, wheres this greenline place I keeps hearin 'bout? :alcoholic

cheers

[hippy]

i dont' think greenline has a place ..
