I wouldnt trust RX7Store for anything especially a Turbo, their customer service is very poor.

Don\'t you run into problems with Yank setups on account of them not having to avoid the steering column, it being on the wrong side for them?

Thanks Bulla - that\'s all I needed to know.  Wont be buying from them then.

I had enough issues with Bryan at BNR supercars when I ordered the BNR stage three turbos from him, dont want to go through all that again when ordering from the US.:Thumbs-up

The turbo alone for that kit is about £900 so that isnt leaving a lot of money left for downpipe, manifold etc.  It might appear cheap, but I doubt it will last that long!

I\'m currently battling with RX&Store trying to get a GT35r from them - I\'ll tell you more about the service if it ever arrives.

As AtomicRex says - those are some rather \'wel priced\' ancilliaries - GT35R from RX7Store is circa $1300, Synapse wg\'s (awesome bits of kit, BTW) are circa $400 - so $300 for the rest is not much breathing room!

Having said that, they get very good results with those kits in the states :)

dont use rx7store. i had a battle with him over my act clutch that never turned up. in the end i got onto paypal as a dispute and they took the money back from him ands held it which made him want to talk a bit more in the end i just kept p\'m ing him on the rx7club forum saying all he had to do was confirm in the message on paypal that he agrees to the refund for delivery and for the clutch and after a few days he did. i will never use them again and advise everyone to stay well clear.

In addition to all of the above, these kits are for Left Hand Drive cars and will have to be extensively modded to fit RHD  :Hammer

If this IS the case, then thats pretty bad sales pitch on their part as they do state....."Will fit RHD"

Looks like my .....ing did the trick - \'missed delivery\' card on my mat from a parcel from the states... :cool: :D

The above kit clearly states it will fit RHD... ;)

Aspec were good when I ordered from them although problems with suppliers meant long lead times which I think is still the case and they do RHD kits.

Otherwise you could try an Oz based supplier like HPIAB or there\'s another which I forget the name of now but I\'m sure someone else will know.

Having said that the weak pound means you might even get a good deal from a UK vendor.

Here you go. The other place I was thinking of was ASE

I\'ve got an ASE manifold - looks really nice. Turbo flange is a little small though, think I\'m going to have to get grinding.
