Anyone need some FEED parts?

FEED carbon fiber door handles, and FEED "GACCHIRI" front frame braces that fit under the fenders and stiffen up the front end.

Anyone interested?

I could buy and ship the door handles for $550, and the braces are on sale so I think I could get them shipped to the US for like $250.

Pretty mint looking. I wish I didn't blow my tax return on JCI'ing my cars or I would've employed your services for those fender braces.

They're not actually carbon though, sadly. Apparently they're just painted Mazda handles.

Why buy the door handles when youre charging $550 shipped when you can get them from RHDJapan for $285 plus shipping (which is less than $30)?

Next time I'm at Autobacs I see what they have. There were a FEW REA parts, but none of them were on sale.

The braces caught my eye because they looked like sweet pieces and they were on sale for half off.

I only took pictures of the door handles because at first I thought they were carbon and someone might be interested since FD handles break so much, lol.

It's not Up Garage, it's Autobacs.

These are brand new parts, not used.

I am near a Garage Off, but they didn't have many RX-7 parts worth remembering.

I went back today and took some pictures of the other parts...

There were FEED oil caps and radiator caps (about $100 and $45 respectively...lol)

FEED stainless brake lines for about $150 (on sale), and a FEED or RE-A grounding kit (also $150, ON SALE, lol), an RE-A oil cap ($130), and RE-A clutch hose ($160... not on sale),

and an RE-A air seperation tank for about $280, which actually looked like a nice piece... but a bit much.

There was a set of RE-A brake lines but the where well over $250 and not on sale.

And there were some sort of suspension links, but honestly I don't know what car they were for, and they were $$$$$$ (about $400).

I figure someone might be interested in the brake line kit, at least, since it's not that much. Plus it wouldn't cost that much to ship. I think $215 would be a reasonable price.

I picked up the GACCHIRI braces. $300 by express to the US, OBO for whatever else is slower by PayPal.

I can take off $10 for non-PayPal payment but anything else will take longer for verication.

Nope, just one set.

The handles are just stock new Mazda door handles painted with a carbon fiber pattern and the FEED mark.

The only reason they were this cheap was because they were on sale for half off to get rid of stock.

No, it was a Super Autobacs. All the parts in the pictures are new, but some of them look like pretty old stock.

I'm not really doing this for the money, I'm doing it because it costs money to send money home, so I'm better off selling parts at a slight profit to get money into my US account.

I mean, I'm willing to bid on Yahoo Auctions parts for anyone who is willing to pay a down payment on however much they're willing to bid on the part.

There are all SORTS of good deals on parts on Yahoo Auctions. I could probably get Power FC's and commander sets for $700. Express shipping on the last time I sold one (for an MR2) was about $50. Of course, they still make them for FD's, so you might be better off just buying one new from Apexi USA with a Warranty. The Yen is really strong right now (not nearly as strong as it was a few months ago though). But occasionally you'll find really good stuff that no one else bids on.

I'm fairly sure I could get mechanical LSD's for FD, FC, RX-8 (they're all the same) for $5-600 or less, but shipping express would be at least $150.

Used coilovers OTOH wouldn't be worth the effort... the shipping cost, and the possibility of needing rebuilds means you wouldn't save much money. You're better off buying new in the US.

Just be careful, the mods will make your open up a vendor account which is 75/mo.

Also a lot of parts on yja are either broken or not working properly. Sell a few that have issues and all of a sudden you are out a few grand. It isn't as easy as just flipping parts, trust me.

Best of luck.

This thread is breaking all sorts of forum rules.

Valkyrie, I appreciate that you're in Japan and offering to help out fellow forum members, but this isn't the right way to do it. PM me for more info.

Cool pics btw
