I think anyone who owns an aus-spec standard would like swaybars, especially if they value their groceries, mine always end up everywhere..... And anyone who wants a bodykit for an 86 would appreciate j-blood reproductions..... Question is, when... and who has money for that when! Keep us posted, all the best. Is Perth that nice?

Hey, i'm in Melbourne but i'm really interested in a J-Blood (type 2) Front bumper. I know i can get an original from J-Blood in Japan through motorware, but it'll cost $888 for it (landed not fitted or painted). So if your price is much lower consider it sold. And i'd be interested in a carbon bonnet for sure!!! Post the progress! Laterz. [Report message to a moderator]

Hey Kevin, I would be seriously interested in a carbon bonnet, but it depends on price. I guess we could all go out and get one right now if we wanted to spend $1,500 on a bonnet, so if you can clarify that your aim is to manufacture these products with a view to provide in-demand AE86 body parts to enthusiasts at a lower price, that would be greatly appreciated. In short - Can we get a ballpark figure? Thanks dude, Jeremy. [Report message to a moderator]

Don't know which CF bonnet to fabricate hey?

Here's a pic of my favorite two (both by j-blood)

The rasied air ducts is Type 3

and the Dipped bonnet is Type 2. I'd personally would like this one.

But there the best two worth fabricating in my option, but the choice is yours. Smile

Kevin - getting anyparts for old school jap cars over here is rediculous and almost imposible at a resonable price. If the sway bars will fit my 83 Supra I'd be keen as mustard! Might even be keen on the spinter body kits?! If the price is good, I could get a few modifications done by Fibrevision to have the kit on my car! I think for anyone to put down a serious interest tho, they will at least need to know a ball park figure?!... Cheers.. Keep the info coming! DAMO TRD 83 ps.

Ok Kevin, put me down for a CF bonnet in the J-Blood type 2 design. Only problem is, it is displayed on a Trueno, and would need it for a Sprinter/Levin. I would definately be very keen on the wide body kit, but once again, it depends on price. Cheers, Jeremy. [Report message to a moderator]

if the price is right i'd definately be down for a kit for my ae82. but if you dont have a lot of demand for em, i'd probably take an ae86 kit and mess with it to make it fit mine anyway. i'm a big fan of the fat kit on the yellow 86 pic that mr fool's put up. i think this might be a modified lancer kit, but maybe something along these lines?? oh, and im very interested in the swaybars too-if anyone bothers to make em for an ae82, what thickness are we talking though?? ==cheers, roman=============== [Updated on: Tue, 25 May 2004 17:29] [Report message to a moderator]
