A few things have changed, but this is still basically the same (for now, going through a big change soon )

I'm working on the prices. Ppl like prices of many parts shipped, and I'm still finalizing shipping costs on several of the items. So keep an eye on the site as I update many of the prices

Thanks

GoRacer, I am doing my best NOT to promote any replicas. I'm not fond of them for the most part, and only in very rare situations (where originals are not readily available or have been long since discontinued) will I turn to a replica. So replicas are not high on my priority list. For one, many a time, replica parts are of poor quality, and I don't sell anything I don't/won't stand behind 100%. I feel it would reflect poorly on me (in case you haven't noticed, I've earned my reputation for QUALITY, not the cheapest prices ).

As for exotic stuff, even if it's been discontinued, I'm usually very good at finding these items on the used open market in Japan - I use SEVERAL sources.

Oh and just a note; I am in NO way limited to rotary-specific parts. While that is my obvious emphasis and passion, I can get parts for pretty much any Japanese car, be it OEM, aftermarket, or rare JDM.

Thanks

Basically I mean I like stuff from companies that specialize in RX7 only. RE-A has cool stuff but they are not RX7 only. Scoot hood can be seen on a 300Z and other cars, etc. There are only a few RX7 only companies and we can't get their stuff in the US. Sard makes cool stuff like FD fuel rail kits and Odula has the carbon 99 wing insert (similar to autoexe) but no direct importer so price gets trippled.

Examples:
Run Racing
Odula
Knightsports
R-Magic

Prices and availablity please:
R-Magic (new squinty eyes) HID head light kit
Damd body kit
Lambo door kit
Whatever hood this is and turn signal side mirrors?

Do you have a front quarter view of this kit? You dont really get a good view of proportions with that front only shot.

I simply can't handle - or keep track of - the HUGE volume of PMs I get daily. I will probably be disabling my PMs soon, so please help me out during this transition by forwarding ALL your private questions, requests, etc via email (please see http://www.fdnewbieimports.com/contact.php).

I don't see what the problem is. If they're still in business, it's simply a matter of placing an order...

^ no problem, just no one has those parts listed in the US. I was asking if you would list those on your website, especially stuff from the RX7 only companies that I want to support.

No one can place an order if they don't know about (is my point). So can you find rare jdm and RX7 only companies and post those on your website? I didn't know about Odula untill jt-imports posted it and I bought the carbon fiber rear wing.

GoRacer, I think I see where you're going w/ this now. The problem is, there's only so much I can list on the website. Of course, theoretically I could list *everything*, but I think it would make it quite cumbersome to navigate through the plethora of parts and manufacturers. That was definitely one of the difficulties I had when setting up the website: what should I specifically include, and what should I not. And I still haven't reached a final verdict on that, so I'm all ears for any suggesstions you guys may have

Also, here's some food for thought. Your intentions are pure. But the more I list (specifically), the greater risk of it gaining widespread attention, and it eventually being copied. I for one do not like copies much - especially when it gets out of hand - and nor do my main core of customers (individuals who specifically look for rare parts to buy in an attempt to be unique). And in such a case, you've essentially defeated the purpose you originally had: to support those RX-7-specific companies. So it's a catch-22, if you will

Thanks
