GP Sports, knightsport, RE anemia, uh... bunch of old retro kits...

GP Sports looks the best in my opinion... if you can find one.

Re-A doesn't have an english website, only a couple dealers in america that may or may not list Re-A products in a catalog. If you want something from RE-A you literaly have to either learn japense, get a japense speaking friend (prefebly who lives in japan), or get uber resourceful.

BTW, checm out next months issue of RX-Tuner, There should be an interview with Amemiya San, will be cool

Oh, and yahoo blows. Google, and ye shal find.

When you say you're ready to buy tonight, you do understand you probably won't receive the body kit for several months right?

Ebay isn't walmart. Buying parts for an FC is not like going to the grocery store. If you want something that is easy to work on and easy to find parts for, get a friggin honda. Otherwise succumb to the fact that you've got a fairly rare car that will eat your wallet dry (that of course saying you can actually find what you're looking for) everytime something breaks or need to be maintanced/updated.

GP. GP has the best looking body kit. Its not that hard to find... well, easy to find, pain in *** to actually get ahold of.

Don't say its hard when you haven't proved to anyone you've really looked all that hard.

What do I mean, have you called any companies looking for options, or just ebay crap?

And you obviously didn't try that hard to find the re-a site. Even though you won't be able to read a damn thing on it, its still easy to find. Coincidentaly, getting either the GP kit, or most RE-A kits paid for and to your door will cost updwards of $2500 probably.

Expect alot of body work. It might not be as bad though. And if you don't like the bumper caps, don't use them.

EDIT: damn im being an ***, sorry mate

I have been looking on the net for like 2 weeks straight and now i have the money ready. Iv been to Erubuni and raceonusa and gp i like the gp but it looks like my friends kit so im kinda iffy on getting something that looks like my friends kit. I have also seen corksports like i said and alot of websites have this demon kit that looks like crap.

Let me advise against raceonusa unless you have a bodyshop willing to do bodywork for cheap. At least the body parts are cheap there though.

Go to there web site. Right click on the page and select " Translate into English". It will change most, if not all the japanese character to english. Sometimes its a word for word translation so the adjectives and adverbs are out of order, but its better than nothing.

Seriously, whats the first result from this search of "re-amemiya" on google...?
http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...8&q=re-amemiya


As for raceonusa, the parts take about a month to recieve, comparatviely speaking, its not bad at all. But expect to do some bodywork to the parts you get. They aren't made to the quality of authentic kits.
