no I dont but they are one of the set Im looking at.. a Group buy would be wonderful. I see them on yahoo auction japan for like 930.00 (us dollars) and was thinking of getting a set. Id definatly be intrested in a GB if you can get um for around there.

yeah MG is crazy I think someone said like 1.2 MILLION people come into New Orleans for it every year... on top of the 700,000 people already in NO... thats crazy man flat out crazy. but oh so much fun! I got to see Leviathan and Zulu's parade, and a bit of Rex. we partied in Utopia a couple nites and was on Red Rhino (i think thats right) balcony on Mardi Gras. had a blast. Im trying to put together a zilvia friendly picture post

Steeles · 03-05-2004, 02:15 PM

heh I already got my brakes I need new coilovers!!! lol and injectors and a boost controller and wheels

STIwish · 03-05-2004, 03:52 PM

Speaking of Mardi Gras... ever had a Hand Grenade (patented drink, although i can make something similar)? sooooooooo good, you dont even see the hammer coming straight at your head before you pass out or end up with alcohol poisoning

Steeles · 03-06-2004, 09:02 AM

yep had those the first time I was down there in 01... pretty lethal... but then Id been up for about 30 hours drinking beer... nothing hits like a christy reed though... NOTHING

Ive made 300lbs men sweat from one shot of those. by his third (with some beers in there as well) we damn near had to carry him out of the bar. he still hates me for that and wonders why I wont ride the bull at the bar he works out.. running the bull...

aa87 · 03-06-2004, 10:00 AM

I'd probably be good for the brake group buy, in like 3 months, and the coilovers.

NW Louisiana mardi gras is crap.

mk20116 · 03-06-2004, 01:19 PM

Silk Road is comming to the US and has set a few rules for dealers.
1. No Group Buys on Silk Road products.

So, I will be going to Japan, hopefully soon, and see what I can work after that...

Steeles · 03-25-2004, 01:20 PM

$1300 is about right for the Silk Road Dampers... good price and better than Tein.

So what up guys... who do you want to see as a US Based Company???
(ex: URAS, Border, Kazama, etc...???)

I am in negotiations with a few at this time... hopefully very very soon!

i think kazama, uras.. this suspension company called Biot got good reviews from taniguchi. but the money maker would definitely be wheels. if i was an importing company, id deal with a place that has cheap, decent quality, nice looking, wide range of offset and size wheels. kinda like M2 that sold the dt-05r. also, perhaps an alternative to bride seats like M2, Jamex, Chargespeed, or others(though i dont know the quality...but im sure they have better rails than the american companies).

yeah I also would be interested in wide wheels in the right offset, and seats

IKEYA FORMULA

that would be a dream to have IF have a solid US support/based company

Kazama would be nice to
the whole line of Abroad Limited, i.e. Final Konnexion, M-Sports, D-Style, etc..

kazuo · 04-07-2004, 09:54 PM

I want KAZAMA in the USA.. I want those coil overs I saw in my ish of Hyper REV, har har har

I was gonna say ARC but then I remember that Mackin got 'em...

MadScientist · 05-05-2004, 10:16 AM

Some of you may have seen this posted on FA... I just wanted to post it on here as well!!

Well, First off... I would like to thank those who speak highly of Rare Trick!

Next, I will glady tell everyone that our shop is based on Importing Rare and Hard to find items from Japan... Most true enthusiast whom love to order from us are usually acustomed to waiting several months for delivery. Why?
ONE- we are not a Hugh Corparation filling multiple containers a month... our company is growing and our customer base is growing even faster.
TWO- some of the products we are able to get are from companies that are well known in Japan and in the US, but they sell very few items to the US, and are not acustomed to large demands.
THREE- We have a set timeframe we work with on Placing Orders to Japan... When the Order is placed we then collect payment from Customers, and then Transfer Funds to Japan! At This Point, products begin the collection process! After all Products are collected (may take several months) Sea Freight is arranged! Then its the normal waiting on Customs random flip of the coin (Clear/ Not Clear).

There is several issues that can arrise when Ordering from Japan. Just to name a few... Made-to-Order, Back-Order, Domestic Shipping, Packing Materials (yes, this is a major), Sea Freight Export Dates, Customs Clearance, etc...
After 2 years of Importing just for Rare Trick... everything has happened!... If your wondering about the Packing Material issue... yeah, Customs is picky about what type of Wood is imported and how it has been treated... this is the most recent problem we have encountered and its costing us about $40-50 a day!!!

Now, on the other hand, if you want a Product that has a US Importer already (HKS, Do-Luck, etc...) We deal strictly with the US Importer... so if you think I have stock on every single item listed on Rare Trick... go back to School, take a Business class and you will learn first thing... Overhead is the death of all businesses in the first year!! Sam @ Jspec has been around for a long time and has big local support in Cali. We are Not Based in Cali.. We are based just outside of New Orleans, LA and our customers are National... We descided to base in NOLA because everyone thinks that all the good JDM companies HAVE to be in Cali.

Some History on our Customers...
SilviaGuy has the first INGS D-Spec S14MC in the US!!
Silvia Driver has the First URAS Type 3 S15 Frong Bumper, and First URAS Type 1 S14 Sides and Rear.
There is only One of the following in the US...
Apexi R-95 Exhaust, Hippo Sleek S13, Evolution Type II bB kit, about 20 URAS RS Exhaust, and One URAS R32... all from Rare Trick... how do I know its the only ones in the US... I been in this business for about 10 years!!

Those who complain about Customer Service and Waiting Time... expect to much!! You want the best, rarest parts... you will wait!!

TokyoNights · 05-05-2004, 11:02 AM

I have ordered from you before and all I can say is that its worth the wait

Probably because its titled "Rare Trick.com" that alone gathers attention and those interested will read about us.... and I hijcked the thread, but its all good!!

By the way we have alot of new stuff being done to our site!! Log-in with order status tracking, shipping calculator, Past order history, Wish list, and New Design "woohoo"!! Also going to add the logos of some industries we deal with... like SEMA, and SCCA!! We will also be removing some manufacturers

Hey Drew, now if you could only get the site to load faster! Like everyone has said, Drew is a great guy, and can get you just about anything you've ever wanted. It just takes time, sometimes alot of time, but you can't blame Drew for stuff being stuck in customs for weeks.
