Group Buy!

I had a quick look yesterday, the wiper arm on the right hand sits along way back so it should be fine. It is from Japan so it should be designed for RHD cars.

Now.... who speaks Japanese?
Street='94 with FFS Coldside. Sold :(
Race='97 with AVO (soon to be Absurdflow) and GT2560 <--- sod that... LS1 conversion underway!

if the price is not ludicrously high, i'd be in on that group buy .

just to confirm it sits on the drivers side yes? so it won't get in the way of a cold air intake?

I'd be guessing approx $60 + shipping

Andrew,
How hard and how long did it take for you to install that relocation kit
and how much was postage?


It should fit into my 1998 right? cause the website says 1999 to 2005 but mine is also an NB

They are easy enough to fit, just make sure you follow the instructions and have the correct tools.

I'd say about an hour or two at the most.

And yes it should fit your 98.

yes just checked there email before and yeah they've only got one kit left


and for the tools i notice they have the "10 pc Stubby combination wrench set - SAE"
which i'd imagine would have the tool for the relocation kit

has anyone used these are they any good as in quality they're only about 10US on top of the relocation kit tool and you get 10 different ones
