Lol quite true supplanter but not after wednesday anymore. My semi slicks get fitted then hehe

For the fto to outperform...it'd still need a set of coilovers or matched shock/springs though. Just before i traded in, i replaced it with stock sussy (on the fto)...damn that sucked something nasty.

Back on topic...if dstocks can get parts too though, i'd of course rather get it through you!

If you can get me a part number or find me a site (or a link), I can certainly try

whatabout the post-97 kit and your wing? i'm too lazy to look, but i know someone here that will stab himself for it....

Theres a facelift bar listed for 278 atm. Postage will add quite a bit to that though. Still, if someone really wants one......

Already have a request for a price on a version R wing. Will find out and get a price for stickers as well

OK, Just had word back on Option 1 for the tail lights. Project F in Japan are still making the" European Tails". I can get a set, but they are REALLY expensive. If there is anyone desperate for this particular set, I can get them landed for $1500.

Still looking into getting a batch made in Tiawan as well. That will take a while to get details for though.

Ouch .. Would look better if the background of them was black ....

Post by **dstocks** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 8:38 am

Yeah, it would - thats the pic direct from the Project F Site. I was hoping that it would come in quite a bit cheaper than that. They are also making a couple of variants on the clear - a red and a smokey black

Haven't found any CF eyelids yet but these look nice...i'd be interested in getting the eyelids and carbon fibre lip spoiler to go on the car's spoiler (if that makes sense...) on this link here

http://www.vary.co.jp/valiant.html

You have to scroll down to mazda and click the last option/link though. It's the one that says "Axela m/c .... 2.3" in it.

Thanks dstocks

oh wait, got photo links off same site...

Awesome!
What about Toyota stuff?
I'd be interested in a MR2 Gen3 3SGTE MAP sensor, 4wire O2 sensor, Veilside/Granador mirrors etc....

I was cruising past the city and saw a done up fto with the same lights *jaleous*. 1500 is waaaaaaaay too much though. Maybe we can organise a group buy at some stage or find another way to do it cheaper

Answer back on the stickers. Can get GRvR stickers landed for less than $30 I think (the ones on the front corner of the car. Havent checked out the price on the rear ones atm. For anyone interested, Ill add that to the stereo surround group buy (as they will be coming from the same place), but youll have until Thursday to get in.

I've been lurking on this forum for a while now. I am thinking of getting an FTO imported to replace my Cino while I am fixing up a Mk1 MR2. Most likely in a couple of months.

It's certainly good to see the amount of group buys and the like that seem to get organised.

dstocks wrote: Oh and this is not limited to FTO either.

Will provide another update as soon as I get more info.

So can you give me an idea of what I would be looking at? I am not in a hurry at all. What would I be looking at paying on top for things small bits (eg dash bits) or bigger parts like a nice GRP boot?

The local MR2 forum organises just one container a couple of times a year. (a lot of organising and a lot of time invovled when it happens) If you are really okay for other marques ordering parts then I will happily mention that on the MR2 forum.

cheers!
