Don't forget this one too, why the fuck do these people ask so much? I'd pay up to $1200 for a hardtop, not this greedy shit.

Auckland gets just 2 days of rain so the prices automatically go up $1000

Probably, my drivers seat was a bit wet the other day. I'm looking for a hardtop in a few weeks. Everyone better not get all smart and list them for that kind of price.

for the price he is asking I would rather have a CF one from carbonmiata at that price.

For that price I can buy one of these from Japan

one question about buying from yahoo japan.
I was looking at work equip 01's and they had an average price of 27,000-33,000 yen. Would I be correct in assuming that this is the price for 1 rim not 4?

Kieran · Post by **Kieran** » Thu Apr 18, 2013 1:28 pm

Brand new thats each
Might be able to find a set of 4 in a narrower size for around 40000Y or around 100000Y for a set around 8-9J

Yeah that's definitely for one wheel. A lot of auctions for brand new wheels sell them one at a time.

I have the best luck searching for 'used' wheels only; more full sets and better prices.

Hopefully the driver was lucky then... or really short.

Does anyone know the story with these? I'm wary of ready-made manifolds because all the American forums warn of cheap Ebay ones cracking.

Check out his feedback....100 bad and 100 neutral!!!! Would not touch these.

I missed that, he mentions a 6 month warranty? Mind you it might come with some BS like 'only designed to take 3 psi' or something.

warrior · Post by **warrior** » Tue Apr 23, 2013 3:56 pm

Yeah, most of the bad feedback was because he would not make contact with people after they had bought something went wrong. Also NO PICKUPS says a lot to me

"Seller is located in Waitakere City, Auckland"

Goddamn it that's so typical :p

MrGrey · Post by **MrGrey** » Tue Apr 23, 2013 6:16 pm

I seriously LOATHE people who do not reply or are tardy with responses. From looking at this guys history he is an online 'shop' ... the kind of guy IRD would love to speak to.

NEVER EVER buy one of those manifolds
they arent worth their scrap metal value

It had a rollbar and that saved him apparantly he walked out and only cut his hand on some glass getting out.
he was looking at my NB but brought his car back off the insurance company and told me he was going to rebuild it but must have changed him mind..bad luck as my NB is now sold .

^ I second this, tube walls are too thin, with the heat cycle rates its only a matter of when not if it will crack, I give it less that a month.

Post by **jif** » Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:55 am

stainless has quite a high thermal expansion rate, without slip joints etc it'll prob crack as soon as it gets a decent workout ...
