Seriously, if you find one, please either sell it to me Or send it to ShineAutoProject so we can all enjoy it.

If you buy it, you better send it to Ken at Shineautoparts so I can get a copy OR I am going to beat you with a rubber hose.

The one thing I really respect about that shop is they only tune cars to be street legal. I really hope that trend carries over to the states, as I know it's becoming more popular in Japan.

Charlie, nothing against Shine, but you know I can have that spoiler replicated too, right? And I have NO problem replicating DISCONTINUED parts; I just won't replicate parts while they're in production for moral/ethical reasons.

So yea, if you get ahold of that wing, sell it to ME. I'll pay top dollar for it

Thanks,

with an adapter plate. we (KGParts) have been making and selling them for years now... only really sell them out of the country as nobody state side buys them... "rolleyes:

Actually, looking at it, I dont even have that adapter plate listed, only the plate to adapt the 3port TB to a custom manifold... http://kgparts.com/index.php?page=diy
will have to put that one up when I get back.

nice pics, BTW.

Question Street Legal?

Dan,

What gives you the idea he is tuning for street legal purposes? Did I miss a link somewhere? The only reason I bring that up is because I am not sure how any of the high hp cars pass Japanese Compulsory Inspection (JCI). Americans call it "Shaken". Anyway, I never owned a modified car while I was in Japan, but I imagine that it takes some strings being pulled to get it to pass JCI.

Perhaps someone with some personal experience will chime in on the JCI issue.

This is what I saw every time JCI was up for a modded car,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the guy throw the car back to a stock setup and gets the new JCI. They then mod it back as before the inspection. Sounds like a lot of work, but I seen it done on more than a couple of occasions.
