Hi All,

Following up on our announcement that we have been appointed as Works Bell's exclusive Australian distributor (see http://tinyurl.com/64hus7 ) this week we opened the Works Bell section of our site.

The Tuners Group is one of only two Works Bell Factory Authorised Distributors worldwide outside of Japan, so it is quite a coup for a growing Australian company like us to have been selected by Works Bell in this capacity, and we are honoured to have been selected by Works Bell as their exclusive Australian distributor.

Works Bell products are also used extensively in both Formula D and D1, and were chosen by Japanese tuning giant JUN Automotive as the supplier of the steering wheel and quick release used on JUN's iconic Mitsubishi Evo X project car.

Works Bell are also the official supplier of steering wheels and quick releases to Team Orange, and to Toshiki Yoshioka of Team DROO-P.

PRICES NEVER BEFORE SEEN IN AUSTRALIA

As you can see, we've kept our promise on pricing - our ex tax retail prices are identical to the prices that Works Bell's products sell for in Japan.

So Australian customers can now get Works Bell products at ex-tax prices that are identical to what you'd pay if you lived in Japan - without the cost of an air fare to Tokyo :D

Unfortunately there is no way around GST, so the Australian government puts their hand out for 10% on sales to customers in Australia, but we believe that our pricing is the lowest everyday prices that Works Bell products have ever been available for in Australia.

And of course by by purchasing from us, because we are Works Bell's official exclusive Australian distributor you are 100% guaranteed of getting the real deal, genuine Works Bell products.

THE TUNERS GROUP'S AUSTRALIAN PRICING POLICY

In terms of our pricing policies, as I said when we released the Forced Ignition system in Australia ...

"One of our primary business goals is not just to provide high quality, innovative products, but to provide those products to our customers at prices that are not inflated by multiple layers of exporters, importers and distributors."

"We are supplied with Forced Ignition systems directly by the manufacturer in the US, and we work hard to 'cut the fat' from our supply chains."

"The end result is that we are able to supply high quality, highly innovative products like the Forced Ignition Immobilizer to our customers at the previously unseen innovative prices we are announcing today."

"For too long, customers in Australia have been forced to pay large markups on products made outside of Australia. With our new pricing on the high quality Forced Ignition system, we currently have the lowest pricing of any retailer in the world - online or offline."

We will be applying exactly the same kind of pricing to our Works Bell products ...

Premium quality Works Bell products at ex-tax prices that are identical to what they sell for in Japan where Works Bell are based.

AVAILABILITY AND HOW TO ORDER

There are a few products we are still adding to our ordering system, but the bulk of Works Bell's major products like the Rapfix II Quick Release, the tilting Rapfix GTC-R quick release, the Team Orange and Yoshioka Collaboration edition versions of the Rapfix II etc are all now online and available for purchase.

Hi Naomy,

This is the the Works Bell Rapfix Key Lock System ...

large293.jpg

It is designed to be used with the Works Bell Rapfix II Quick Release ...

large280.jpeg

The Rapfix Key Lock System is definitely worth getting as well if you are getting a quick release.

As it says on our site at

http://www.tunersgroup.com/Online_Store/Wo...ock_System.html ...

"Designed to be used with the Works Bell Rapfix II Steering Wheel Quick Release, the Rapfix Key Lock System takes the security of your car to a whole new level ! When you park your car, you simply pop your steering wheel off and attach the Key Lock System security cap, which attaches in seconds with a simple turn and click action.

Constructed of ultra tough A5056 billet alloy, it features an ultra scratch resistant almite surface finish, and a high security non-pick cylinder lock mechanism with a ball bearing action and unique keys. The Rapfix Key Lock System is built beyond tough ! With no steering wheel in your car, and no way to remove the Key Lock System, a car thief has no way to drive your car away !

How It Helps Keep Your Car Safe From Car Thieves

The Works Bell Rapfix Key Lock System locks to the section of the Rapfix II Quick Release which is attached to your steering column.

It covers the fasteners that bolt your Rapfix II Quick Release to your steering boss / hub. So rightaway it stops a thief unbolting the Rapfix II mount from your steering boss / hub, and stops the thief attaching a steering wheel which the thief has brought with them to your boss kit / hub.

large294.jpg

The Works Bell Rapfix Key Lock System also helps stop a thief removing your steering hub and replacing it with a steering hub and steering wheel which the thief has brought with them.

It also helps stop a thief who has brought another steering wheel with a quick release fitted to it from attaching that steering wheel to your quick release mount attached to the steering column.

And last of all, the Works Bell Rapfix Key Lock System is a large diameter which also helps deter any thief who might try to steer your car with vise-grips or similar."

In answer to your other question ...

if u purchase quick relase can i use my momo steering wheel and if i purchase raphix key lock system can i use it as quick release as well.??

Yes the Works Bell Rapfix II quick release is machined at the factory to accept both Momo bolt pattern steering wheels and Nardi Bolt pattern steering wheels.

If you purchase a Works Bell Rapfix II quick release, and Rapfix Key Lock System, the Works Bell Rapfix II quick release functions as a quick release, and the Rapfix Key Lock System is a separate product that attaches to the quick release when your car is parked.

and also can i pay by paypal ? or only bank transfer ??

We accept payment by credit card, Paypal or cheque.

Information about the payment methods we accept can be found here ...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
