thanks for the reply douasan.. did you get the kazama piece from a group buy here on zilvia.net? i hope that comes up again or if you know where to get that piece, please let us know.. im new to zilvia.. and so far i only was in with the b&m gb that enjuka did a while ago.

Dousan_PG · 12-09-2002, 03:26 PM

no i didnt get it yet (tie rod ends), maybe Leo <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/notify.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':notify:'> can help out on that if there is a serious interest, might run a pretty penny though! so no cheapskates. but we'll see

i'll post the pics tonight of the kazama stuff (so you can see where this goes and the tie rod ends go as well). you can visit their japan website too...

www.kazamaauto.co.jp

they make lots of nifty things i mightend up buying soon heheh..next year i mean. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

I want in!!! Email me at [email protected]. I am ready to pay!!

Steeles · 12-11-2002, 06:47 AM

hey Dousan any idea if that skid plate is a Kazamma piece too?  I want just about everything on that page!  already have the TC rods though, made my own subframe spacers, and Im in on the next group buy on the brace.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>  but I want the adjustable arms for the rear and the tie rod ends.  I'm gonna eliminate as many rubber bushings as I can on the suspension

Dousan_PG · 12-11-2002, 07:24 AM

we gotta work something out w/ Leo, i just made a suggestion, if this group buy ends up well (looking very good right now-but waiting for product), i'd like to do another one w/ Leo and obviosly he got enough people for this one. i know people arent' rich, so 100 bucks was a great price for this!! so if we can get enough people for a certain kazama piece, maybe Leo can see if he can host a second group buy for us!!! i like all the Kazama parts, good stuff. we shoudl start an interest thread though. i'll start one AFTER this one is complete (and everyone has their parts). then we can see if Leo can even host it (parts access)

i think we should get the GB for the Tie Rod Ends first. Function first..then the under protector.....everything else can be found in USA EXCEPT the under protector (another good GB&#33<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

jyt747 · 12-11-2002, 04:50 PM

I'm interested in the next group buy... I'm assuming that it is the same price as the previous one? email is [email protected]

Tks,

I'd like those tie rod ends + Rear upper control arms + TC rods.

Keep me informed on what goes on with that stuff.

Thanks
Jed

Dousan_PG · 12-20-2002, 03:12 PM

excited.......

KyoLo · 12-21-2002, 10:43 PM

interesting, pillow tension rod and tie rod end are what i have been waiting for in groupbuy section~!!..

Bbandit · 12-23-2002, 02:23 AM

i am in!!!!

Jarret · 12-23-2002, 10:22 PM

I'm in if you could email me for a price to N2H5X9 in Canada.
I haven't seen these units before, but expected them out on the market someday!

woo hoo!
-Jarret

1fasts13 · 12-23-2002, 11:03 PM

wow this thing is growing hehe

first off, good news, the cusco tension bars are on sched and expected to be starting to be delivered around 1st-2nd week of jan

kazama/NAMS stuff i am still looking into but the kazama is not looking good......they are not willing to offer ANY sort of volume deals

trying to maybe find some other alternative companies that make the same thing now, i'll keep you guys informed!!

happy holidays

1fasts13 · 12-23-2002, 11:10 PM

on another note, anyone interested in SAFC V2??

i am gonna have about 20-30 of these units available around mid jan, gonna try to keep it around 300 or so, and also will have some of the limited edition gold plated casing ones also, which will be a tad bit more. all functions/features are same as the previous model, only the style is changed to the same as RSM

Bbandit · 12-23-2002, 11:13 PM

1fasts13,
i emailed you earlier but i got this reply that says you will be open again after january 20th
im really interested in joining this groupbuy
what should i do?

1fasts13 · 12-23-2002, 11:25 PM

the cusco tension bar GB? i think you are on the list for the 2nd batch of buyers are you not??

Bbandit · 12-24-2002, 02:08 AM

really? am i? im not sure though
anyway.. should i call you or something?

95Blue240sx · 12-24-2002, 03:40 AM

i know many of you like JDM stuff, but battle version makes some of those suspension parts. maybe you can ask them? just a thought.

bri96se · 12-24-2002, 08:16 AM

What about the rest of the suspension stuff from cusco? Can we get a group buy on the pillow tension rods?

Maxtype 240 · 12-24-2002, 08:43 AM

I'd like to see what prices can be offered for Cusco sway bars. I know Whitelines are great but I'm an afficionado...

Jesse

Dousan_PG · 12-24-2002, 08:56 AM

do u know the specs on the cusco ones/ it would be kinda sad if you are getting them just becuase they are JDM?
what are the diameters compared w/ whiteline?

Maxtype 240 · 12-24-2002, 12:20 PM

Sad, yes definitely but we are all mad in our own way...

Front: 30mm
Rear: 21mm

Is the premium justified? Probably not since they (Cusco) are at most 1-2mm thicker & the Whitelines are also aluminum (?). They are both proven products but if the price is right, why not...

sounds good. i'm holding out for Largus though. beeeefy. i'll get the specs on lunch. my car is littered w/ car mags haha... all i know if you (or anyone) goes whiteline, use the stock endlinks for the front. most japanese sways use stock endlinks for good reason. they are VERY well designed.
cusco hmmm. i'd go in on that too. thanks for the info

Dousan_PG · 12-24-2002, 01:01 PM

largus:

s13
31.5 mm Front
27.5 mm Rear

s14
32 mm Front
28 mm Rear

i cant read the rest of the japanese, but that's teh basics. no website.
people who use it?
Koguchi
Ueo
Kazama
NomuKen
Itai...
etc etc
all the big D1 drivers basically.

non-adjustable. basically a good drift setup

SR20Fastback · 12-24-2002, 02:49 PM

Bah, Id be intrested in some other cusco or JIC products if you can contact anyone from them leo, I'll email you incase you dont get a chance to read this.

1fasts13 · 12-26-2002, 12:33 AM

hmm battle position huh? i'll have to ask hahaha never heard of it myself!!

as for any other cusco/JIC pieces, feel free to toss some ideas around, whatever seems to be the most popular i'll pick out and host a GB on it no problem

bri96se · 12-26-2002, 05:54 AM

I wanted to see if we could get a group buy for the cusco sway bars and pillow tension rods. If not both then at least one of those would be cool with me.

BadMoJo · 12-28-2002, 01:53 AM

Whats the status of the first group of bars? anytime soon?

1fasts13 · 12-28-2002, 03:22 AM

i thought i stated on an earlier post that the 1st GB is on sched; should be starting to ship out the bars by 1st - 2nd wk of Jan.
