Just remember that to the price converted from yen you need to:

1) add shipping to the UK - TK will provide you with a shipping estimate before you order

2) multiply the total of price+ shipping by approx 1.23 to cover import and excise duties

3) add probably £50-100 to cover airport handling, customs clearance and onward transmission to your preferred delivery address.

Depending what you\'re after it may be worth trying people in the UK first. That way you get a fixed price up front, can give it back to them if its knackered and dont have to deal with any hassle - and you\'re helping the Rotary community over here grow :)

For body kit stuff you\'re probably best to try Ross at Evil Rotors atm.

You need to read the reply above.  Alot of people i know from the mr2 groups have bought from these.  Yes they are cheap but by the time to add delivery and tax\'s on, you may be able to buy cheaper in the uk......plus it\'s a pain if you have to return stuff.  Saying that, i have bought a couple of things from them, limited edition stuff, and their service is good.  But i did get stung for tax on every order  :(
