The exhaust is made by Au-to Bahn and runs just a hair more than standard JDM price for a cat-back ($1,000 range).

Just wanted to let you know that Japan8 or I should be able to get you things from Japan. I will be able to do a group buy on here if Japan8 doesn't jump on it already :p Lets see what you guys want a gb on first though.

Sorry odave, I just jumped on it (and got my Mod approval). I have several different things available... the STrasse kit, the TravelStar RTS rims, and the RSW Gauge hood. Find the thread here... https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...774#post449774

BTW.. odave you have a PM.

No Problem J,

I just became a vendor for them in Japan. They are pretty good to work with as well in getting info. Much better than RMagic or Amemiya. Let me know how the group buy goes and if you guys need cheap shipping from Japan for these parts I can provide.

odave,

I agree completely. My experience with them thus far has been much better than RMagic... and I am very big on quality of service. You've become a vendor for them in Japan?

Yeah I did, since they are friends of another company that I sell for they thought it was good to just pick me up as vendor. Where in Japan are you btw?

The word says FD3S, and the Japanese caption said "RX-8 head installed!"
So must be an RX7

looks pretty fucked up to me, not a safe car anymore, i've seen a civic with a S15 front end, most of you will think it's pretty cool, but all i've seen people give to the driver is laught.

BTW, I have seen a rendering of a HKS RX-8 with a front lip that looks very much like the lower portion of autoban kit. I wonder if they ever made it? I will try to scan it and post it in the next few days.

If the last post is in regards to the strasse kit, then here goes: under average circumstances, I would agree, but there are pics of this kit on a red car too. I know two is not a whole lot more than one, but I am gonna go out (cuz the kit is priced, in Japan that means something, unlike here, where companies can price something they couldn't sell for another 6 months) and say that this kit can be gotten by any who have the money. It is not a prototype.

Remember, disregard my post here if you were not talking about the strasse kit.

TxRx8: go to the group buy forums and look at the strasse kit GB. Not going well, but at least you will find a ROUGH estimate of how much certain strasse items cost.

Still, as no one knows, it teaches.

But, attention is necessary.
This employee can't understand English.
The agent who can speak Japanese is necessary.

I won't be able to answer even if English mail send for me because I don't know English very much, either.

I am sorry to be short of study to write my English.
I am happy. When my homepage is seen, too.
