I bought the front air dam in Japan when i was there..No idea other than that. If you can get your hands on a japanese car magazine it might still be in there for sale.. I think i payed 400 USD back in 1987. I've had my cars for 20 years..

I love:
the RE Amemiya front end
the wheels
the T2 motor with FD UIM
the right hand drive
the side skirts
the front valance panel


I very much do NOT like:
the corvette style lights
the mariah hatch replacement
the hood


other than that stuff, beautiful car, man.

Yeah, I'd like to know where I could pick up a set of SSR's too, even though I heard they stopped being made. Also, the car is definitely unique. You did a great job on it.

That's not a RE Amemiya front end. It's Anaversery Racing. Amemiya doesn't make FB stuff. His FB's that he has done for customers allways roll Anaversery Racing body stuff. They make a bunch of cool ****.

I've always loved anniversary racings stuff. has anyone ordered anything from them lately? I'm just wondering what kind of shipping times/costs are involved with getting parts straight from Japan, and if they are even still making first gen parts.

Nice work on the car gonzz, as said earlier, love some aspects, not others, but you've clearly put a lot of time and love into making it, which is what its all about.

Got a few questions.. My rear tires are hitting the wells over large bumps.. The rears stick out a inch and I have 1-1/2" clearance between the tire and the wheel well when the car is sitting. I have ST springs and want to swap them out for a stiffer spring. Should i get the RB springs? Just doing the rears..Thanks
