Yup tried calling them for the past 2 weeks, and also one other who have them listed on their website, but he sources through RE. Guess this will be another import jobby. Turns out half the stuff you google is either no longer being made or the companies are out of business.

Just noticed this thread !!!! looks superb. There's a lot of great builds on the go at the moment and they are all to my taiste.

I'm running TTT rear arms, front arms, and tie rods. They are very good people to deal with and the product looks good. The front arms are very heavy and the rears just a little heavier than the originals. They do the job but I would probably go for the one's Wyn is running. They are a 2 piece design which I think gives more freedom of movement.

So a few bit of good news and some bits of bad news:

Had some bits trickle in since the last update inc the front suspension package -

Head light covers should do exactly what they say on the tin

A thing for turning and another thing for making noise

Arrived safe and sound and I just about fit into it

Really nice quality to these, have had a few from ebay and the sliders are far superior.

Hopefully done a nice deal for some of these, I tried to source some Japanese rims but needle and haystack.

Have just ordered a Seibon bonnet which should be here next week.

Possibly looking at this paint scheme:

Bad news is that my orders from the US have been pushed back again, ordered at the end of Feb and at this rate I won't get them landed until July. As always its the first bits of the puzzle that are outstanding too, repair panels etc.

Some very nice kit you have their. Where does the suspension bits/Lexan windows come from?

Plastics4performance supplied the windows, as recommended by quite a few members on here.
Japspeed have supplied the pro package for the S13 front.

Still awaiting the bonnet which is taking an age. Probably won't use the supplier again due to poor customer service.

Still waiting on the Seibon bonnet from Amber Performance, hopefully it will be here soon so we can crack on with panel fitting.

Nice bonnet, what is the quality of it like? Could you post a picture of the inside of the bonnet, just curious to see what it looks like.

Many thanks.

Nice stuff, but do you realise the cowl panel has the wiper holes in the wrong place for a RHD car?

Yup, we noticed that just after ordering but considering the tinkering going on hopefully wont be too much of an issue :D

Thought I would pop a quick update on here. We are pretty much back to square one with the project.
We have however booked the chassis into Andy Robinson Race Cars to have the rollcage redone and hopefully salvage some of the front end.
A very very expensive lesson learned.
