I remember there used to be a thread in this forum that showed some of the top Japanese Minis. There were links to a few of the Japanese tuner sites. Anyways, I was interested if anyone knew of any Japanese tuner sites. Thanks.
I know of GUT, and found out about Racers the other day. I know that there are at least 5-10 more sites out there. I wish that original thread never got deleted...
I was looking at the black faceplate for the tach/speedo... Can't read japanese, so I translate using google, and it says:
Quote:
The colored meter set colord Meter Set speedometer, it is set of the tachometer. Image changes enormously.
Color: Black
price: \20,000 (including tax)
cord/code: I-0022-6
20,000... yen?
I do a currency converter for yen to USD... $180!!!!! OMGWTFBBQ!
surprisingly M7 and ALTA are both very well known amongst japanese tuners. Kinda cool
If you just want pics of owners cars try googling for "Prestige mini japan" or look for "club r50" . Club r50 is their big club dedicated to the mini and will have lots of links to other sites. I Would google it and give the site names, but my computer is acting up...sorry
if someone can communicate in japanese and perhaps strike a deal im sure someone will be able to bring em over
unfortunately, over in the states, there seems to be a lack of interest for making minis look good
it seems to be a very un-tapped market, whereas in europe we have great bodykit options like orciari or esquiss, japanese have great half spoilers etc... here we have? m7's splitter...................

I can add that a couple of months ago I emailed Garbino asking them if they had a European dealer, but they didn't, so I continued to ask them how much their whole kit would be plus shipping to Sweden, the answer?
The front, back and sides would coust half what shipping them would cost.
I don't have the exact prices infront of me but say the parts were 100€, the shipping was 200€ bringing the total to 300€, too bad, isn't Europe the biggest market for MINI's? They'd make a fortune.
Thank you COOPERation!
