Rob, sorry if you got the wrong impression. As of 5/25 (as I posted in post # 150), the order was complete and ready. Then it took the shipping company practically a MONTH to get me a shipping quote (6/22). The parts finally shipped from Japan around the 19th of July, and I received word just today that they arrived in Customs. I've already contacted the Customs Broker, and he's working out all the paperwork to clear the shipment, and have it delivered to me. Once it's in my possession, I'll let you guys know. From that point, I'm just gonna pack 'em up, ship 'em out, and post up a list of tracking #s by name. Sound good?

Thanks guys

ramy... honestly... i probably wont even get around to installing these lights for another 2 months or more AFTER i get them. you have no idea how lazy i am.... ive still got a 20b w/subframe sitting in my garage growling at me to drop it in every time i go in there. maybe its just me... im really better at collecting parts than installing them. speaking of collecting parts ill have to tell you more about the e-spec headlight leveling motors/switch sometime.... and i also need to ask you about those rear seat-back latches and if you can get them. -heath

I'm not part of this group buy, but for everyones safety please don't post tracking numbers - send them via PM or Email to the individuals themselves.. It is very easy to call the courier and get a delivery address changed, or even to hold it at the hub for a willcall....

I know it'll be more work this way, but it will be safer for everyone...

Ask me how I know

Get er in there Heath! I was in the same boat, but you won't believe how quickly things start coming together once you get the driveline in and start getting momentum.

agreed... however the first step is getting the car to the body shop and having the engine bay sprayed. hopefully that will happen with my next pay check. then a trip to the powdercoaters for the subframe and in she goes. im excited, but dreading the whole ECU instalation. PS what motor are you installing?


back on the topic of lighting.... i have a set of the espec switches and motors. id assume some people in this GB would be intrigued with this as im sure we all will be facing problems with cops, oncoming traffic, etc (especially with HID's) using these RHD lights. this will let you raise/lower the height of your beam from the cabin and came stock on *some* of the european FD's. enjoy
