My thoughts exactly. I'm not out to make a profit, they cost about 2500yen which is about 25-30 bucks.
While i'm here, suppose i may as well post a pic of my finished car. Been building it up for the last year or so. These pics are a little outdated, car now has fender mirrors, lowered more and a stripped interior with a pair of fixed buckets. despite what most people think/expect, it still has 1600 motor. i've had it built to race-specifications with all the fruit, up to 1700cc. was running it carby-turbo after i got it built and hauled absoloute ass. had major problems with reliability though so went backwards to n/a. still goes great, obviously not the same as forced. making up quad throttle bodies for it, that i will fit and tune once my other car is finished...
JDMSSRFTMFWULEH.... starshark colin 13x7 absoloute mintas
been my daily for a while now, so a few of you adelaide folk have probably seen it around... btw the fender mirrors set it off!
25 to 30 is pretty sweet
do they steel them or do they buy them from shops, cuz bosozoku originally comes from car and motor bike gangs so i wouldn't put it past them that most of those rings are stolen. Although there most likely that popular and they sell them in Yankee style car stores.
photo bucket is the best!!!! get flock as well... its based on mozilla fire fox and it been re programmed so you can "drop and drag" images and up load them to your photo bucket with ease instead of having to search through your folders every time you want to upload a pic.
what sort of boso count are we talking about here... my unordered folder (as in all together, i take pics out for soarers and chasers etc...) is over 1000.
Drift_Limo that's off jzx project some where isn't it, its great to see yankee style being represented in the drift community. I always felt that it might be on of those rivalries like BMX vs. Skateboarders kinda thing.
heres some more pics
p.s. drift_limo you should add to the thread title - *56k will die a horrible death*
Cheers mate. Starsharks came in the full ssr size chart, which was pretty much anything up to 15" square .
Pretty rare now though, certainly dont see many around.
BTW GOOD NEWS FOLKS.
I've found a place in japan to get the rings. I'm going to bring a few in, see how they go. They will alot cheaper than the price i quoted before, AND proper
.
wont know for sure until i pay for all the postage/fees etc, but i think they will be about $30
yeah, they arn't the train ones, they have to be stolen.
these are exactly the same except that the train ones have some writing on them, which i have no idea what it says.
yeah, the guy i found selling them has about 8 normal round ones that I'll get, but he also has other shape ones like love hearts and that. i'll get some pics of those and if anyones keen i'll put one on the list.
but yeah, once i've got them here, i'll offer them for sale. you got first dibs cedricxxx! I dont want to take any deposit etc rah rah incase it falls through, or they get lost or whatever. final price will be according to what i pay, like i said, i'm not out to make a profit..
