I lived in Japan.
RE Amemiya is a famous Rotary shop in Japan.
Do you knou them?
How do you like them?

Please tell me.

 

We are pretty familiar with him, everyone loves his products, but the prices to import them into the US are too high. Add to that the high cost of the products themselves 2K for a bumper, and it kinda puts a lot of people at a disadvantage. If he had a place here in the US selling his products (like a licensed reseller w/molds) there'd be money to be made.

 

We'd like a complete bodykit for $2500 US, but they want $4500 which is a bit too much.

I might convert to a run racing kit eventually though

The knightsport kits are great too.

 

I am actually planning on ordering a rear diffuser from them. Best damn rotary shop in the world, IMO.

 

We just had some guests from Ashikaga, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan stay for about a week. I made sure to ask them directions to RE-A just in case I ever go to Japan. It's about the last exit before the airport, right?

 

Yes i know him. I visit with him about 2 times a year and stop at his shop in narita/chiba 4 - 6 times a year

I 1997 I had him sign my RX7 Hyper Rev book now I keep it in picture frame.

and I was going to buy the 4WD 20B FC from him about 1 year ago but the tube frame is getting so rusted I was worried about if it would hold up for racing.
anyway I didnt buy the car.


What do you think of him

I think everyone of us RX-7 lovers that knows of RE Amemiya loves RE Amemiya, and Mr Amemiya seems real cool

RE Amemiya is the best, I'll go to his shop someday. There definately needs to be a U.S. distributor of Amemiya parts, importing the products are way out of most people price range. I don't think they know how much Americans wants their stuff. And a 20B 4WD FC? Are there no limits to this guys awesome-ness!?!

 

20B FC 4WD

you will see why I didnt buy the car I didnt take more pics of the car cuase I was really depressed when I saw what kinda shape it was in.

 

they should set up their distributors in pittsburgh, cause my job sucks, the fruits sent me home cause hte truck didnt come in today, 23 hours a week, and they cant even give me the 23!!!! I HATE MY JOB!

 

ive been to japan a few times, never visited the shop. I usually stay in the tokyo area or kyoto. One of these days ill make it out there and visit.

 

Initially, of course anyone who be awe-struck at his cars...
After a while, his stuff ends up being overpriced and "gaudy" - I guess the price you pay for trying to stand out of the crowd.&nbsp His "project" vehicles are always amusing, but you get used to the novelty after a while.
I'm a bit disgusted that he endorses that SEV crap that doesn't do anything for your car...

IMO - flames welcome!

SEV???

 

SEV is this "strip of metal thing" that you "apply" onto your fuel lines, mufflers, and shocks to make them "perform better".&nbsp He's got dyno charts of +20hp gains just by slapping this crap onto the car!

a 4wd 20B FC?!! thats like!!! the ULTIMATE CAR!!!!!

 

How far is his shop from Tokyo?

 

Woah, that's pretty sweet, the 20B FC AWD. I'd that girl too.

I can't really tell from the pic dude, was the main tube structure rusted? I see only rust on the little tubes, but eff them, they're just to keep the fenders on, you can replace em no problem.

 

pretty far. Its kinda close to narita.

 

i thought it was in cheeba or chiba, however its spelled. like a little over an hour from tokyo i was told (the cities, not to amemiyas crib)

 

im still lost, reminds me of office space w/ flare.

"There are 4 mandatory pieces of flare for your muffler"

 

Alright still don't know what a SEV is but what happened to that 4WD FC? It looked so nice in the mag but then it is trashed. Why would you do that to such a car?! 87gtr, how much did he want for it?

 

around 20k or 30k (USD) i forget, you might be able to find the thread of 87GTR's if ya look

 

if you look at the website the fc2000 front end lists for $1100... http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/ they are also the only one to have a single turbo 20b manifold
