Well by just having a quick look, the MZ version is the cheaper of the two and that costs $940 before shipping, duty, vat, charges, etc, so I doubt that it will be less than a grand, more like $1500! The RS is about $120 more than that. Roughly.

oops, yea around 1500... i was thinking of a lightweight flywheel

Lightweight brain more like!

I haven't worked out costs exactly, so it may be more than that yet. What I think might be a better way of doing things is if I get our office in Japan to send them directly to you. That way you will save a bit of money by not having to pay for two shipping charges.

Righto...

Just a price.. delivered in $au...

I WILL be buying an LSD in the next few months... just depends on price as to where it comes from...

Thanks

Right here goes:

Type-RS $1419
Type-MZ $1269

Prices are delivered. These are for FTO's without factory viscous coupling LSD.

You would just have to tell me 1way or 1.5way.

I'd buy two sets of rear lights... just to help start it off. Only really want one set >_> but can't even find them (even at stupid prices)... *sigh*

Might waste some money on other stuff instead.

I've given up with Project F's rear lights and started enquiries into our own set. I'm thinking of an LED style maybe.

lol thats fine, just buying a rolling shell atm, so i'll be pretty drained money wise for a while putting that together anyway.
but if u do find something cool, please let us know

boarsai · Post by **boarsai** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 3:53 pm

I'd be interested ... depending on what they looked like of course. I like the project F ones, they looked nice on my car... when it wasn't my car. No idea when the car lost them... but I want them back

Trying to locate some even for a stupid amount of money hasn't even been possible. Frustrating. Pretty much given up looking for them.

I don't care whether the lights are LED/bulb/whatever as long as they're shiny

I'd also *really* like some decent custom front lights. With properly mounted angel eyes, HIDS and just plane cool looking. Not over the top. Just something smooth and different.

There are some jaguar headlights that I lvoe the (internal) look of but can't remember what the hell they were. Much use of google tonight I think.

What's the go with custom headlights anyway? doable?

EDIT:

Found these (kinda cool):

They weren't the ones I was chasing though

Swear i bookmarked them... just can't seem to find it on any of the pc's around the house. Hope it wasn't on a formatted drive or an old drive that's been replaced. :F[/b]

No skin off your back bo.r.ep, I'm not bitching about the current state of the lights or of the angel eyes provided in group buys etc. They're great for what they are... just want something that's... "approved" and more integrated.

I think that pretty much the only way to go for that is to get some angel eyes from a BMW ... I'm looking at getting a sample from a distributor in Hong Kong to see if it will be possible to fit these 'flush' into my headlights ... I know the UK guys have done it with the Foglight Pods of a facelift front bumper which looks really cool.. I should be able to get them at pretty decent prices as well...

Also, I might have an update for you soon about the custom rear lights ... but then again, it might be for a couple of months

Post by **BorepYano** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 11:08 pm

the fog light angel eye thingo can be done with the similar ones to the group buy and they'll fit flush as well, provided u have the right size and your car is a face lift model.

other than that i am working on making a head light with the indicator built in and angel eyes built in as well, but its sooooo much f***ing around....

Cheers.

Most of the parts come from Japan, so our office there would send most stuff directly to you guys, so the distance thing isn't a problem. Also it'll work out cheaper as you guys don't pay vat and you'll also save on paying double shipping by us doing it directly. So don't go by the prices on the site as they are for the UK peeps. You guys will have a "special" price.

MissxFTO · Post by **MissxFTO** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 11:11 am

So what would be my "special" price including del to brisbane for the below:

MAGNECOR MITSUBISHI FTO (94-00) KV85 COMPETITION CABLE
(Or would the electrosport's be better for my GR?)

PROJECT F MITSUBISHI FTO (94-00) CHROME PLUG COVER
