Hey guys... whats up?

I like this Personal Thread (Thanks MadWilly)!!

If anyone has any questions or comments.... Please Post it Here from now on... I would like say in anything being said about my company (Good or Bad).

To clear up somethings off the start....
*We are Importers. We dont carry alot of stock (little as possable)... if the company is in the US (Ex: HKS, Apex, etc..) then we use a US Dealer to supply the parts as DropShip to the customer!! We dont go over the US dealers head by Importing thier product, unless its not carried in the US (Ex: HKS Hypermax D, Apex R-95).
*Currently we have placed more focus on expanding and possably moving... in the next few months you will see and hear of several changes.
*Yes, we are maily for HardCore True Inthusiast who want nothing but the best, and dont care how long it takes to get, or how much it cost.... This narrows down our Customers, but builds a better reputation.
*We do not sell Used parts because, if anything goes wrong, our reputation goes with it!
*OE Japan parts are not easy to get and cost ALOT for what it is (Stock)... also our discount is minimal if anything at all, so its not always worth listing.

This should be a good Start... so... "Tag" your it

Peace
Drew

hey whats up man, i was intrested in ordering hte JUN lightweight flywheel for the ca18det, i think yours sold for 350.00 or so? if ordered! how long do you expect it to be shipped out and to my front door? just a question i knoe mostr of these things are special order only, but i thought id ask!

brandon

MadScientist · 05-10-2004, 01:55 PM

Brandon - it depends on when you order. I place all orders to Japan arount the 1st of every month. Usually get the shipment by the end of the month depending on side. CA parts are deffinatly Special Order!

Hey guys... just wanted to express another view. Internet Education... yup, most tuners have it and look towards the Internet for solutions. However, it also leads to alot of common misconceptions... not to call anyone out, but I had a guy call the other day about Engine Mounts. He as concerned that replacing with an aftermarket Mount is going to raise the engine and his STB would not fit!! I have seen Post about this and heard this as a concern for some... This is where a Degree in common sence works best! The guy stated that someone did the swap and it raised the engine about .25 - .50!! Its very unlikly that a high quality aftermarker part would raise the engine... hence this would change the dynamics of balance! The easiest way to get to the point with this... Old worn-out Bushing vs. New Stiffer Bushing!

I get alot of simple questions that take nothing but common sence to answer... I understand the Internet has a vasy load of information... but you still need to use your noodle... don't believe everything you read on the Net and if you want a true hardcore answer... Their is #s to Manufactures who produce the parts.
If you have a problem with your Dell Computer, most people call Dell for answers!!

SimpleS14 · 02-13-2004, 01:33 PM

You should do a group buy on Grenades.

Steeles · 02-13-2004, 01:40 PM

Drew your 5 months late on this thread!! I hope you ship faster than you type!

Hehe I KIIIID I KID!

SimpleS14 · 02-13-2004, 02:31 PM

holy crap....I just realized this thread is OLD

red240 · 02-13-2004, 09:12 PM

I bought my Uras exhaust and GP sports body kit from Drew,he's even sending me a nissmo shft knob that didn't get sent with my order.
He must be very busy as I e-mailed him a few times in the last 2 weeks but I havn't got a reply yet.
I'm sure he'll send it soon though!

aa87 · 02-14-2004, 10:16 AM

Yeah, im thinking about ordering a URAS or BEE*R exhaust soon, and raretrick seems to be the only place to get em, so i am probably gonna place an order too.

MadScientist · 02-15-2004, 02:27 PM

Bee racing is no longer available on my site. Sorry!

Yes, Red240 will get his shift knob that is coming in this week!

I know I know, this is an old thread.... I was doing a seach for Rare Trick and found about 3 post with the same title.... so I jacked this one...

brokenben · 02-15-2004, 03:53 PM

my friend got some stuff from them and said it was an overall good experience.. im gonna go there for my next upgrade i think... btw.. cant wait to see the project come along!

Doood.... speaking of the Project Car. I have been back and forth so many times trying to descide on 180 or SilEighty. I sooo want to go SilEighty... I am at the point now that I am about to just order the parts for the SilEighty and be stuck with it!!!!

I have not updated the Project Car page yet, But not much has changed on it eather. *Reason... one of my partners descided to leave the company so now its just Mitzi and Me (Drew)... I have alot to do and no-one to pawn it off on to help,... so I haven't done much on the Project Car, and when I do, its usually a good stress relief. Also, we are talking with several companies in Japan... for obviouse reasons...

brokenben · 02-17-2004, 10:33 AM

if i lived in LA (louisianna?) id offer to help in hopes of gettin a job.

but o well... haha ..good luck with the project!

Steeles · 02-17-2004, 11:38 AM

hahaha I never realized you guys were in LA

Im heading for new orleans for Mardi Gras on friday! I need to get the car running though grrr

aa87 · 02-17-2004, 03:53 PM

Holy crap! Im in LA! Other side of LA though, id almost be willing to drive the 5-6 hours to get to work though.

SilviaRB26 · 02-17-2004, 05:08 PM

Drew at raretrick is one of the most proffesional guys i dealt with. Ive ordered plenty of stuff from him, and let me tell you he can get you anything from japan that you need. he tries to keep prices at a minimal, put people need to understand that getting stuff from japan aint cheap. If you want the best your gonna have to come out the pockets!

I second that.

MadScientist · 03-05-2004, 12:07 PM

Hey guys... what about a Group Buy on these!

Nissan Sumitomo R32 Calipers
Retail is $350/caliper -- GB would be $300/ caliper (aluminum)
Shipping would be about $25 in the US-48

These are way better than the 300zx upgrade... more surface area coverage, better cooling capacity, larger pistons, 6.5lbs each, fits 295mm x 32mm Rotor,

I can make a Full Brake Kit out of these for about $1200-1300
(2 calipers, 2 Endless Six Rotors, Front Endless Vita Pads, 4 Endless Brake Lines)

Let me know what you think...

esthirteen · 02-17-2004, 07:34 PM

good link for uras exhaust group buy, it expires march 1st. I want to get one, but I'm thinking 80mm piping is too big for a N/A application. Would be great for a turbo car.

KOUKI KA-T · 02-17-2004, 07:58 PM

Hey Drew, any idea how long until you have the yashio factory shrouds available?

nocomedown · 02-17-2004, 09:25 PM

hey, no wonder why shipping was so quick. i had no idea you were in LA

MadScientist · 02-24-2004, 12:01 PM

brokenben - no-one is alowed at the warehouse... EVER! But, thank you for offering to help... maybe later in the year (if we descide to stay in LA) we might hire a select few people.

Steeles -

"throw me something mister!!"

enjoy the party...

SilviaRB26 - Brandon, your car is going to be insain...

esthirteen - thanks for posting that in the wrong section... their price is high and doesn't include shipping...

suckers!!

KOUKI KA-T - just because its not listed on my site... doesn't mean I can't get it!! Think they cost about $100.

PROJECT CAR maybe on hold for a couple more months.... looking into a contract for Official Importer Status....

Oh I didn't know you could get them right away, I had e-mailed someone over there a couple weeks ago on the GP sports ones and they said you were working on getting the Yashio Factory ones soon... thanks!

KOUKI KA-T · 02-27-2004, 09:37 AM

ehhhh.... or not. I guess I should've known those things would be hot pink, that'd be the last thing i need on my already purple car.

Yashoi and Silk Road will be about the same price. I know Yashio makes them for all the Silvia Models, but i dunno about the rest of the line-up...
