Courtesy of Mr Takakaira and swift delivery from all parties, i got these today.

Cusco 40mm Strutbrace
Cusco Cooling Panel
ARC Heat Shield (which i wont be keeping.)

I also got a couple of books, ones an Evo Bible and the other is a full catalogue of tuning parts for the Evos, unfortunately, i cant read japanese, but can drool over pics!

 

[Wombat]

like the look of the strut brace fella, how much and where from my friend?

 

[KevShek]

cant remember how much now, think it was about 80 or 90 quid from www.takakaira.com all the prices are on there, just need to add shipping. Its the 40mm diameter aluminium one but theres about 5 to choose from for the early evos.

yeah, id like to see the look on the guys face when you ask him to translate a 200 page book! youd have to buy a heck of a lot of sushi for that!

How much did you pay for shipping from japan?
I was looking on this website couple times, you can find some nice stuff but was worried about shipping charges.
thanks

The way they work it is wierd but it works, once youve picked you items, you order and wait for them to tell you how much shippings gonna be on top. You can then either confirm to go ahead with it , or cancel it if you dont like the total.

Both occasions ive bought from them, theyve chosen EMS which is trackable, fast and cost effective. In this case, what you see above was charged a total of $160 USD on top of the retail price. It all depends on weight and size.
