FSTMINI We are cool!
What I want to do is import these things. I will buy bulk and pay tax, shipping etc...and come up with individual price that will be fair for everyone.
I will keep you posted.

I post some things I brought back from "Japan" and some guys want to know the dimension, angle etc... we can make them cheaper... you get the idea. Randy Webb (good friend of mine BTW) announces some up coming new products few days ago from "Denver" and do you see the same question/comments posted about his products? Why is no one asking Peter the dimension of his splitter so that he/she can make one at home cheaper? Is it OK to publicly announce you are about to copy some product since they are overseas?
I didn't mean to loose my cool. I will keep you posted if I find anything new.
Here is one for those of you want your car even stiffer.. Comes with light weight Aluminum underaged as well. I really wanted this but didn't fit in my suitcase!

be aware of lousy products
If you still using 3) Rear upper polyurethane bushings, better return to the shop u bought.
If the product is made by Fukazawa motors in Japan, this product will damage your shocks.
Here in Japan, people said that 1) Engine Damper is quite lousy and make you uncomfortable when u drive,

I hate you guys for always posting these japanese products that we can't buy.
I want the oil pan baffle and the saclam header - among other things.
The honda shops that deal in JDM goods make plenty of money. I'm still at a loss as to why the mini dealers are asleep.

I am not user of engine damper so I do know anything about the product.
I don't even know the product manufacture too.
I Cannot find it.
So I avoid to buy those unknown products.
May be I should not give u any comment about those products.
about bush, If the product is made by Fukazawa motor in Japan,
This is the must item to return the shop.
They will replace it for u.
bush is too hard so it will damage the shock when u low down the car.
