i just got a email back from AM performance last night

Hi Bryce

I just like to let you know I'm running behind as we have small problem with Aluminum plate.I had to return two of them to supplier as they was scratches on them.So I hope I will get nice piece tomorrow and will cut them. Please let people know that there will be a slight delay but nothing major, when the plates arrive (fingers crossed for tomorrow) ill give you a ETA on how long they should take. the designs are made and ready to cut - just need the plates.

talk soon

Andrew

  • 2 weeks later...

any one got theres yet as im still waiting

im still waiting aswell, i think he posted all the polished ones on friday.. here is the last email i got from him (weds the 11th of sept)

Hi

Tomorrow I will send covers in mirror finish except this one with Allure sign on it as this one is not good.It did not come up as should be and is not good enough.When I bend it along the edges the letters fold down as well as there was not enough material to support it.If it will go for powder coating you will not notice that but it should be in mirror finis and will not be good at least for me.All the others has been send for powder coating and as soon they finish I will let you know.This with allure on it will be cut tomorrow and still will go by the weekend

Please be a bit patient and hope every body will be happy after all

Andrew

so yeah, sorry that it has taken longer than expected guys but it seems like Andrew at AM Performance ran into some troubles wtih the materials etc. they should all be sent and arrive this week :)

dam i want one...whens the next gb gonna happen?

ill probably arrange another gb late this month/early next month, but i want to make sure that things will run smoother next time around so there wont be these extended delays we got this time..

yeh i too would like to know, i tried to get in on the last one but was too busy to get the funds in on time :) , i believe you still have my order saved?

yeah mate i still have all your details for the order :) sorry that you couldnt get in this time around :D i just want to be clear that i cant extend the group buys or it would just be a never ending thing and no one would ever get anywhere! i mainly do this because i was in a group buy about 2 years ago and it was just extention after extention, it took 6 months to get something that was promised in 1! having a deadline is just fairest i think :) but there will be another group buy thats for sure, iv had lots of PM's so ill get you in for the second round no worries :)

so sit tight! this week should be the week for the packages to arrive :-) sorry once again to all the buyers for these delays, its been out of my controll but these things happen unfortunantly

I'm still waiting for powder coating covers and can not do to much.they should be ready maybe end of this week.

I'm sorry for delay and I hope every body will be happy after all.

Please apologize those people from me and tell them not to worry they will get they covers very soon.

Thanks

Andrew

also currently having chats about a second group buy

awesome :banana: great to hear that they are finally arriving :(

hows the finish quality? glad to hear that your happy :nyaanyaa:

turned out very good, the finish is excellent, im very happy with it.. the only thing was, i couldnt get it to sit flat in between the tappet covers, i didnt want to bend it inwards, but i worked out if u try and centre it so it leans evenly on each tappet cover(about 5mm from the base) you can screw it in.. im going to try and get some better quality pics up as soon as i can..

Cheers Brycey!

    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out. 
    • Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.
    • Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
