Re: 999 Automotive
I found their pricing very expensive, can get same products from overseas for cheaper. Especially no name brand chrome plated headers.
Tried to rip me off once with I when in to buy some buddyclub rims years ago. I knew what the recommend RRP was and I walked in, asked for the price. Got out a calculator and pretended to punched some numbers. Autosaloon was on, so he said he'd give be 10% off special price. Guess what, the 10% price was what the RRP price was. lol.

Hi.
Agree with project r regarding buying from japan.You could try import monster but be aware they are an agent for a japanese buying group which means fees have to be paid to two entities- aust and japan.
I have been buying cars and spares for the last ten years from "isicar" and have never had a problem- lovely people. You will get known brands at the right price from yahoo japan and their website is very user friendly. If you are searching for wheels it is important that you enter "pcd100" for mx5 wheels and the list produced will show only these. Just a tip to save you time as you will see.
Just one last thing those extractors shown have the ox sensor bung downstream and you may have to lengthen your wire.

I also buy off yahoo japan on occassion. Some Mazdaspeed stuff, Maruha stuff (which you can buy directly from using PayPal anyway), Toda cams and gears, SSR and Work wheels, and a few other bit and bobs.

As it turns out I picked up a set of Maxim Works of OMGPHAM. I will still have to lengthen the wire, but do you know if I need to get any special wire? If so what sort/gauge?

Re: 999 Automotive
Hey there,
Tried calling up for a set of 86 coilovers for my brothers bday present & was told that I needed to pay for shipping from overseas PLUS fitting them which totaled to about 1300.
Quite pricey in my opinion, then again I am one poor bugger.
Hopefully if anyone has to deal with them, it will be more smooth.
Cheers, Andrew.
