I wonder if anybody could identify what type of wheel arches this car has fitted:

I\'m interested in those on the front, the side skirts and also the rear wheel arches. What I like about the rear wheel arches is how they\'re vertical in front of the rear wheels. So, you won\'t be able to see the rear tyres when looking at the car from the front.
Any help would be appreciated :yes
Alex...come down and see ours....I think you will like them more than these!!
thats the RE-Amemiya AD-GT kit mate, will cost around £1900 for front and rear wings + skirts!
steven
Ace, thanks steven. Any idea where I can get them from?
I\'m in France now til Friday Jon. Just being a sad act and trying to arrange things from this little internet cafe. I miss Roxy already :(
of the top of my head:
http://www.envyperformance.com/
http://www.trojansportuk.com/store/
IIRC Re-Amemiya don\'t keep any in stock and they are all hand made to order, so anythign else would be a copy.
Go direct, Amemiya-San is a legend it would be wrong to rip him off and buy fakes.

Nope, just hang your head in shame lol!
You can try shine auto projects as i know they do some excellent replicas, they have an ebay shop under the same or very similar name.
HTH

Make sure u order in good time, we have a car at ours thats just having the full kit fitted - it took the guy about 6 months to get from RE-A ;)
Envyperformance really do take the p1ss with there prices.
RE-A GT kit is lovely, not that im bias at all. ;)
Quote from: Kevin;500308Envyperformance really do take the p1ss with there prices.
:Laugh...... You are right, I think you can order direct cheaper ..
I fitted my full kit mid last year, dropped it off at the bodyshop in August and guess where it still is :reallymad
Want the wide fenders and skirts - hell i\'ll sell you the whole car for cheap!

Quote from: JP825;500423:Laugh...... You are right, I think you can order direct cheaper ..
I got my full kit imported from japan, fitted and sprayed for less than what envyperformance are quoting for the kit alone on there website!
I dont mind people trying to make a living, but I dont see how they can operate as they price thereselves way out the market. :Thumbsup! :2Rolleyes:Giggle
Yeah, £1800 sounds silly. Especially for something which is going to go onto a race car and no doubt will get bashed around. So, who should I be contacting to get hold of one of these? Don\'t really mind if it\'s carbon fibre of fibreglass. I\'ll probably want to alter it a bit anyway. Can\'t be much more than £1000 for the lot, can it?
Quote from: bin liner;500494err thats like almost a year......how much u looking at for it...?? thanks
Not thought about a price, its something im just considering as it\'s took too much out of me and its no longer an enjoyment! :rolleyes: I had it back for a bit, took it to pips because it ran poorley only to find low compression on front rotor and the tubo oil seals have gone - nice coincidence! I do have replacement engine & turbos waiting to go in though :)
Body all sorted and painted now, just having all trim put back on and they need to sort my undersweep out.
Atomic Rex, can you post some pics...be interested to have a look.
Gary
Wheres the cheapest place to get the re skirts and arches then?
Re Amemiya, everyone who claims to be an agent or dealer will just order direct from them and wack up the price or buy fake and sell on as real Re Amemiya.
Unless you\'re happy to buy fake and rip off a rotary legend.
yeah envy are a lil over priced i dont use them my self i just knew they where a u.k. dealer!
but i would still think it would cost about £1500 ish to get the kit over in the u.k.

If you do think about selling give me a shout! Man I miss that kit, wish I\'d of kept it and built my RX instead of buying and trying to drift dirty nissans!!
What sort of money you thinking?

Hey mate, got your email!
Just so everyone knows, I got mine through Newera, Migs was pretty helpful with it. Was a while ago that I brought the kit though! From memory it took around 3-4months wait if not a little longer.

Yeah, I was just gonna suggest Newera Parts... //www.neweraparts.com
Looks like I might as well order straight from Re Amemiya Japan. They do have an English order email address on their website. 3-4 months is a long time though.. I guess we\'ll have to go testing with a naked car to begin with!
I found a place local to me which can reproduce bodywork, so if I do order this body kit I\'ll get a few spares made for my own use.
Thanks for the help everyone!

That car just looks stunning !!!
That is by far one of the best looking rex\'s I have seen.
And the alloys just go perfectly with it.
Is your car going to look anything like this stunner ?

I\'ve fallen out with the game recently and with it being in the bodyshop all the time (as in they work on it 1% of the time :rolleyes:) then it\'s making me want it less!
Plan is to have it back (soonish) drop new engine and turbos (then remap) in and keep it for a bit to see how I feel. Im up for offers but I think I have gone through too much to just give up, just gotta keep pushing myself :)
Thats actual picture in my sig but Russ photoshopped the SSR\'s on for me :mmmm

Kieron, start saving your pennies. My RE-A car will be for sale in the near future :)
I just want the kit off it. :Tongue1
:2Rolleyes No chance!
off topic, what are the wheels on the blue one in the first pic??
no vids from the TA series?? :D
Wheels are Volk CE28\'s
thanks for that
Right then, back from France so now I can get down to business. I have contacted Re Amemiya in Japan, but obviously the language barrier, however slight, still makes disussion of small details hard.
What I\'d like to know about, and "mjwebb48" you could help me out here, is how much width does the AD-GT bodykit add to the car? The guy from RE (Sakae Inukai) suggested the type II kit which he says is a bit wider - which type is yours? I\'d also like to know about the front fenders, how wide, and do they match up to the OEM nosepeice, or must I order one of those from the guys over in Japan too?
The guy from Re Amemiya also suggested I buy a few other things from them, including a rear wing. I\'m weary about it\'s efficiency and width though. I can only use a wing which is the same width as the car, and if it\'s not a proper wing I might as well bolt a ironing board to the back of the car!
ive got a mate who can knock a set of them up for 100 quid. problem is hes a ****ing liar
How does the buddy club integra go?
Quote from: DR SCHNITZEL;501778ive got a mate who can knock a set of them up for 100 quid. problem is hes a ****ing liar
lol, I think I know that lad.
I found the type II GT bodykit that the guy from RE mentioned, it\'s the SuperGT replica kit:

hmmm... looks sweet, but I can\'t get too tied up in making it look pretty!
Just go with the AD-GT. The Type II will be mucho $$ that could be spent on making it go faster.
Atomic, do you have any pics of your car recently with the wide arches and carbon splitters and diffuser? Would love to see them if you do.
Quote from: mattywhitt;518775Atomic, do you have any pics of your car recently with the wide arches and carbon splitters and diffuser? Would love to see them if you do.
I am afraid we don\'t as yet. We are keeping it kind of under wraps until it is finished. But it will be worth the wait (well i hope you think so anyway), i think i want to see it completed more than anyone else :rollinas then there wont be so many bits lying around the garage :p
I haent been near the car for a week or two but I would have said its 25mm-35mm wider at least . I run17"x 9.5j on the front with 255 width tyres easily. Rears the arches have been cut away for fit and i run same size wheel and tyre on the back. The frontwings will match up with standard front but I have a bomex on my car. The type 2 kit is the newer version of the Kit on Ross at dragons circuit car and that is a lot wider than mine!!!! I think i remember him saying the car is 6" wider than standard. As far as wings go I run a apr gt300 wing, very very good loads of data on their websites as far as settings etc, worth a look. Quite pricey though!!
HTH

I got a good pic at home and a dead on rear view with the ADGT kit fitted.
Will post it later.

Kieron, any more photos of that black car? I\'ve been interested for some time as to how the AD-GT kit looks with a non-gt-esque wing. Certainly from that pic it looks schwwweeeeeeet :)
Yes got a few, was up for sale a couple weeks ago in Japan, not sure if it sold.

MJWebb48,
Do you mnd me asking what wheel sizes and offsets you\'re running with the AD GT kit?
Cheers
Not sure on offset but can check but wheels are 17"x 9.5j sit in the arches perfectly there the old advan rg model wheels.
Must admit when my car was running bare arse it did look really good without the wing!!

MJWebb48,
It\'d be really good if you could find out what offsets your wheels are because I\'m getting this kit and need to get some rims for the car. At the moment I don\'t have a clue what offsets are needed to fill these arches.
Also, on your rear arches, did you cut the rear arches away or did you fold the flange tight inside the arch?
Cheers
Atomic, do you have any pics of you car yet? Is it finished?
