Question Japanese available performance parts?

Does anyone know of a good website to find and order Japanese aftermarket performance parts, from companies such as FEED, Pan Speed, Run Racing, RE Amemiya, ARC, etc.? Some websites sell a few items from these manufacturers but there are alot of parts that these companies make that are rarely seen. Such as motor mounts, bushing kits, radiators, suspension parts, etc. I found a site that has some pretty cool looking stuff but the page is under development and there is no description of the parts. To bad I don't read Japanese cause there are some kick *** RX-7 sites in Japanese, at least from the pictures they look bad ***.

Unrelated: Just ordered the FC-Datalogit, hope it's worth it.

What kind of parts do you want?
I can help you.
You need bushings?
No site in Japan tell you about technical info about bushings.
As for suspension kits, there are tons of kits eve in Japan.
Where do you run mailly? Drag? Street or track course?
They range from $500 to $5000.
In America, KOYO or Fluidyne or ???
There are good and reasonable price radiators in the states.

Yeah talk to Jason at www.jt-imports.com he will hook you up, just tell him Matt sent you hehe. Hey one thing about Jason, is if he doesnt know he will be honest and check into it. He doesnt BS you or anyone else just so you buy more parts, that isnt the goal around there..

There's alot of killer stuff over there that I guess only the racers buy. Panspeed doesn't even have a web site and you can't get a catalog withought being a dealer. Border Racing has got some rad ****. Knightsports makes more than just aerodynamics. I heard the the race teams (hearsay can be wrong) use the RE Dolphin tail exhaust but it costs like $3k Anyhow Corksports has some stuff but no pictures. Takakaira has pictures but no customer service. jt-imoprts has both but could have more exotic selection thatn it allready has

I think that jt-imports is a bad azz site but agree with you that if it had more products from the existing manufacturers listed (like I know knightsports offers more items) and had a few more manufacturers like border, run racing, corksports, ARC, etc., it would reeeaaalllly be a fooking bad azz site! Like a RX-7 Superstore on the net! Everything, I mean everything ever made for the RX available at the click of a mouse, along with valuable links to information such as how to convert your car to non-sequential or what is the fuel/oil ratio if running no OMP, you know, stuff like that. A one-stop rex-shop! Ok, I've given myself a good idea. Unless someone beats me to it!

I know Jt-Imports is taking vacation from his normal work to do some of the things mentioned. He said he got some much appreciated comments and he is currently changing stuff around... Including finishing PAYPAL..

"lol" I grew up in the Valley. Anyone remember the Valley Girl movie? Let's see if I can translate. Radical dude = sweet bro, bitchen = tight, ack i'm too old or too narly.

I e-mailed Jason (jt-imports) about posting some more exotic stuff. He actually responds the next day.

Buddy Club and Border Racing stuff will be up soon on jt-imports. It's been 4 days so far for a reply from Corksport! JT-Imports answered me in two hours! Well, I didn't get the prices but a personal (not auto)reply none the less.
Right on, now back to my lunch.

Jason is awsome! His price for the '99 spec bumper lights is crazy low. At least the lowest I've seen. I don't know if I should post the price but it's about $100 cheaper than another "rx-7 store" quoted me. I guess that kinda gave away the price but, oh well.

Yeah I definately think you should patronize/encourage good business's like Jt-imports to stay in business. He does have the best customer service I've ever seen, carrys some stuff that I've never seen in the U.S. at any rx7 parts website and is an all around good friendly guy.

I sent takakaira an email 6 months ago and still haven't heard back. Wow.

Good customer service is hard to find now a days.
