  1. Haha Yeah Japan doesn't use ebay, it's yahoo auctions. That ad tho I spotted when I scrolled down is a pair. But let your search begin 😂
  2. Lol, I told you on page one dude, yahoo auctions I've bought from their before and it's well worth spending time searching etc I just searched "114.3" Once you have found a set contact jdmdistro and they will get them here for you in a container
  3. http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n192776573 Under 300 quid and dished Ah that's for a pair, but still under 600 plus shipping and you'll have original wheels. 😂😂
  4. I agree with Steve but the other way round Buy epic wheels and build the car around them 🖒
  5. You need to up your budget if you want dish £400 splits, you're gonna struggle
  6. If you ship with as an example royal mail... It's all your responsibility, that's not what I'm doing. I pay what I'm told to pay, to ship stuff from one place to another, and that's the end of the story.
  7. Import tax is 2.5% hardly a big deal and I'd imagine that is within the shipping charge And the logistics company sorts all of that side of things out. I just tell them what I'm shipping and where it's going.
  8. No receipt no purchase.... Conscience clear 😂
  9. Haha basically I wanted a set of wheels for my merc, I found them in the states for £1000 but shipping was ridiculous So I opened an account as I have a vat registered company Now theoretically.... if you gift the payment thru paypal you haven't purchased anything, you have gifted someone some money and for them to then have a present collected from their premises and brought to you is also just a kind gesture 😂 Yes I'm bending the rules slightly The wheels I did have to pay a charge on because they were clearly brand new and boxed etc but I valued them at 500 quid and my shipping charge was 300 quid so I got a full set of 20*11's/20*9's to my door 400 quid Where as I see this louvre probably coming wrapped in random cardboard and bubble wrap 😂 But as I have technically not purchased anything I don't technically owe tax on it, but it's all at my own risk due to I'm just gifting a random person money
  10. No a friend is sending me a gift and I'll decide how much I would like to be compensated if they loose it
  11. Because I ship with a logistics company. I self declare what the goods are (gift,purchase, etc) And I also self declare the value of the items. I have a property maintenance company, and occasionally we internationally ship landlords belongings etc... So I will be sending myself a gift from america in February 😂
  12. All I'll add to that is... Thank **** I'll not be paying vat and import on it as well!! Lol
  13. Get what you pay for tho. (I have Taiwan carbon bits on my other cars, and am happy with them) I've seen a "replica" which was made in this country, the angle of the louvres looks like a dinosaurs back and because no r&d was put into it the lower louvres curve because they've all been done the same length So personally I'm happy to pay 500 quid (which I consider reasonable money) for something awesome rather than 200 quid for something average. I think I read zakustech is based out of his garage and he makes them himself hence the 8-10 week wait. But I could be wrong.
  14. The louvre is £376 and I'm estimating my shipping at £100 (I will be using a logistics company for my shipping)
  15. I'm on the waiting list too. Early/mid feb Has he confirmed he will ship to the UK?
  16. Cheers man, that was a 6 year build... now it's time to molest a Nissan 😂
  17. Not your average dog transporter and yeah, the biggest waste of a vr4
  18. In the legnum I had 5 amps pushing 4000rms which pull off 2 2000amp batteries (xs power), but I may up that for this build. My amps are all Rockford power series, as were my subs but I blew a voice coil at trax so may swap over and match with my mids which are all hertz, but the hertz subs run at 2.5k rms each whereas my rockfords were only 1.2k But there's no point building an install without sorting your power and earth first
  19. I have a 210 amp alternator to fit, I prefer to keep the audio power circuit completely separate to the cars start stop power supply, that way there is never a problem with the car not starting etc. The only crossover between the circuits is an ignition feed to the switch to the external regulator so it doesn't remain on when the ignition is off. On the last car, I removed the aircon pump and installed it there.
  20. This is a job I'd like to get sorted quite high on my priority list, mainly because it was such a nightmare getting it working properly in my last car (wiring issues more than anything) I'd just like to get my power supply in and sorted while it's fresh in my mind from removing it. So has anyone run a secondary alternator on a de?
  21. Wheels make the car. I'd also check yahoo auctions too.
  22. Yeah I waited a good 9 months before getting my first set of ssr's stalking driftworks lol but I was lucky in respect that my other car required an odd offset so got what I considered a bargain. Have you tried various Honda forums? Would have thought there would be a lot of wide 16's in that genre
  23. If your budget is tight, why not just watch driftworks etc till something decent comes along? I'd rather a second hand decent set then a average new set of wheels any day. And if your going wide arch I wouldn't go anything less than 9j or it will look silly from behind.
