Japanese Tuner Sites (Drool Rag?)
 
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.

There's some cool stuff on those sites I wish we could get :sad:

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...:roll:

They sell Alta parts..for some reason I am shocked.

Rally@StanceDesign 08-04-2005 05:25 AM

surprisingly M7 and ALTA are both very well known amongst japanese tuners. Kinda cool :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:eek2:

Yes, but it changes image enormously--what do you expect for an enormous change :razz:

Enormous discount? Yeah, too much to ask for. I'll go back to my corner and tinker.

Real cool stuff, I will start surfing on Japanese websites more often, those guys have taste, cool cars.

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 :sad:

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...................

If anyone here can find out more info about some of these sites that would be great. Keep the links comming...

fj0 08-05-2005 06:21 AM

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. :lol:

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.

'*Ace*' 08-05-2005 09:18 AM

At least they didn't say "no". I wonder if they would allow tuners here in the US to officially carry their products. Wouldn't hurt to ask...

They take VISA and Mastercard and even Diners Club...I don't see why they wouldn't ship internationally
