looking for some parts...where to get them?

i got my front clip today. pretty sick opening a box and theres half a car there...lol

but it cam with some goodies. the best thing by far is the one piece Cusco struts with camber plates. but i need the matching rears...where could i get just the rears? what about mixing a different brand for the rear???







it also came with this HKS thing. im thinking its a fuel cut defender...but im not really sure. anyone know for sure what this is???



anyone heard of this company IMOLA? looks like a cool wheel, i'll use it. i might get it re-wrapped though.



then some strut bars and some other things...front clips are the ****. you always get suprises. but it sucks when you only get half a suspension. how the hell would i find the matching rear???

Sorry to hijack but are you planning on using that cluster surround? I need that little black filler piece that on this car deleted the cruise control but on a LHD would be where the turn signal is. You can see it loose in the pic with the steering wheel
Let me know how much if you willing to part ways

cool tiger auto are scary(not a very good reputation with engines)
if you are planing to put the engine as well in your car , it would be be best if you opened up the engine to make sure everything is fine seals clean the carbon buildup etc.
Even tho you might think its retarded and time and $ consuming it will save you money and time on the long run.

i too have a RHD converted FC make sure you do everything nice and you take Ur time and reinforce and weld everything very neat.


good luck

That has to be a lot of extra work using a front clip
Im working on a RHD project myself but I bought the whole car in
I know how much work im putting into it, I cant imagine trying to mate up the firewall etc.
Although I also needed to do a custom wire harness for the body and you probably can just use your stock one so I guess its about even...

If Cusco made anything for the rear, it wouldn't have camber adjusting. Camber in the rear is adjusted with either a single aftermarket link that tilts the subframe or dual aftermarket pieces that adjust each semi-trailing arm.
