I really like a few things that I have found from Mines and think that it would be excellent to be one of the few with these parts, but I have no idea how to go about it.

Haha, secret site. lol

Those guages can be found anywhere, you just gotta wait. They still aren't as expensive as bf's, just a little more limited since they are only for subaru's.

Keith, for anything mines your looking at atleast 5-6 months. I'm guessing you like the trunk spoiler, huh? You know they make replica's of that as well, right? GL homie.

mines exhaust? Sounds expensive and worthless.

You want something sick, get an amuse powerhouse, it's only like $2,000. :wink:

I heard a clip and it sounds awesome, its alot quieter than mine. Im personally tired of my exhaust, I just cant complain because of how cheap i got it for.

Ah, wow. Just checked on the price on some mines mufflers... not turbobacks.

155,000 yen is about 1,200 bucks O_O Ouch

Yeah dude please don't spend that much on an exhuast, not your style and its a waste imo. Exhausts like that are arround for people like my friend D who will buy anything with a rare jdm name on it.

I know, so im gonna come clean. I just read the article on the Mines R34 and was completely inspired to do something radical with my car. its wearing off now.

The reason you wait 5-6 months for stuff is because parts importers wait untill they can fill an entire container before shipping it. If you really want parts from japan it's no problem.

Most JDM companies are more than willing to ship parts anywere. It's the shipping that's gonna kill you. I had a HKS T51R turbo drop shipped from Japan(directly from HKS's shipping department). Shipping was 300$ with 3 day air and that was to cali.
