Hmmm, found a bar on Yahoo Japan (through Import Monster), along with a few other tasty bits....I'm severly tempted, not too sure on the bar though as it might have a bit of damage (don't you just _love_ Engrish), no indicators or foglights, plus freight etc....

 

 

 

Arrived in post today: Genuine factory-option AE101 Levin/FXGT Momo 4-spoke leather steering wheel....awesome

 

Some photos for the non-believers:

 

 

 

How it looks without the horn pad.....might consider this look for track-days etc

 

Anyone got a TRD horn-button for a Momo wheel?

that wheel is pretty cool

Some photos from the TOCAU annual meet, showing the new plates

Preliminary front bar shots - still need to get it painted (I'm not one of those douches who drives around with mis-matched body panels) and get some indicators.

 

Despite the lack of foglights or the lip extension (which I really hoped I was getting, but they turned out to be window trims.....) it still looks better than stock, and who knows - maybe someday I'll find another FXGT being wrecked in Japan and I'll get the extras

 

Old front bar off

 

Old v new

 

New on

 

Sunlight angle wasn't conducive to front-on shots, might try for some better ones tomorrow

2 more pieces completed in the puzzle, only 2 remaining :jamie:

 

One fresh-out-of-the-mould Genuine Toyota Parts AE101 FXGT front spoiler extension

 

Said Genuine Toyota Parts FXGT spoiler extension added to FXGT front bar

 

1 Set of Genuine Toyota Parts FXGT front fog-lights

 

I swear it follows you around the room.....

shwing :jamie:

Very curious about the cost of that (item + import/delivery). Been wanting one for ages myself.

Which one? The FXGT bar? Bought it from YahooJP through Import Monster, the actual bid price was only about $75 but when you add comission, shipping (has to come via container as too big for air-mail) plus domestic delivery from Melbourne it came out around $350, if you got it privately or somewhere more local (NZ supposedly has significantly more FXGTs than Aus, and shipping is a lot cheaper) then you could save a bit of money.

Yea sorry i meant the bar - good guess :) Yea the challenge is finding one. I'm having enough trouble looking for skirts.

this is a very cool car mate, that front end is going to look tough as with that new bar.

 

i don't mind those wheels either, definately suit the car.

SSV/Carmate do side-skirts, but they're your typical Lancer/Excel-style ricey crap
