You can try Hurtienne in Germany. We paid about 90E complete for 4 of them. They're not listed in his catalog, so either email them or give them a call (if you call, ask for Stefan-he owns the place).

Well Joey,its all a matter of what exactly you want to do and $$$ available. I suspect that for a gtv you would be happy with a big front sway (27-29) and DEFINITELY bigger torsion bars, 28 sounds fine. Now understeer, hmm, I would go against many guys here who vote against a big rear sway. If nothi...

Joey, email to Brad Bunch at autosysg@earthlink.net he's been very helpful with our stuff. Now, about suspension setup...I have a heavy car and I'm more than happy with the RSRacing setup, which I have used now for about 10 months. In addition,I have 27,3mm torsion bars, 25,4mm rear sway (Arricambi)...

Well, we kinda knew we'd have to 'drop'em!, turn around and bend over' but we didn't know how many people were in line,hahah! The gov't should be more direct and say: 'this is all mine and we call it 10 different things, so fork out!' Now we know to the letter. You see, a pair of torsion bars costs ...

Brian, I got my numbers screwed up,thinking without the documents in hand.Here's the actual breakdown for you: Totalprice of goods USD 667 or 520Euro Shipping 98Euro Import duty 143E Customs storage 35E (2 days!!!!) Customs brokerage 80E Brokerage VAT 15E Load/Unload 35E (from where to where???!!!) ...

Hi Z, Why not? I've had good service from them every time I've ordered things. Is there another place to buy the same stuff (like complete 75 suspension) at a lower price? I'd be glad to hear about it!! In Europe the same parts are either more expensive or non existent. The exception is Ron's front ...

I don't know Mats, the incandescent characteristics of filament bulbs will not behave like an 'on/off' load I think, but will see a much smoother voltage than what will show up on a scope. I don't have any data on bulb life when used with PWM supply. It all comes down to what your pocket can term re...

Hi Z,
PWM is right. You can even have an underdash knob to vary light output- nice, right?! Don't worry about emi/rfi, no problems with the ECU. I've been using my own CDI (210mJ spark) for 20 years now and everything's ok!
Regards,

Brian, the other guy I ordered the stuff with has all the paperwork. I'll see if he can give it to me tomorrow and I'll post. The best thing to do when you order from the US, is to ask the vendor to state a much lower price in the shipping papers (like half or less!) Most of them happily comply as i...

Just a thought for anyone in Europe wanting to get parts from the US: We ordered from Arricambi the following parts 3 months ago: 1 pair 27,3mm torsion bars, 2ea 1"rear sway bars, 1 set hi-perf V6 valve springs and 1 set 4cyl valve springs. Total US price about $620. How much did it end up here...

Hi Mats! Coming to think of it, some clowns with government suits here are getting ready to pass the same legislation about driving with lights on all the time. When (if) that happens, I'll use a 'chopper' (special electronic circuit) to reduce the available voltage for the bulbs. Its a good way to ...

Hi again gang, The 3liter alternator is 70A. Now, on the subject of bulb wattage, life expectancy etc. here's some data you may find interesting: At 110% of rated voltage, the current will increase by 5%, light output increases by 40% and life will be reduced to nearly 35% of that at design voltage!...

Hi again, MD, I got carried away there for a while, as I was thinking of my 75, which has never encountered high-power bulb life problems. Now, in my gtv,it was a different story. I used 80/100w bulbs in new Carello lights and had them so wired, that I could have all 4 on at 'high beam' for better v...

Hi guys, Speaking of regulators, you have to consider a few things like total current requirements and battery size for example. If you are using 100/130w bulbs and you spend some time idling in the city traffic, you will appreciate higher voltage AND current. Its very nice to have 14,4v combined wi...

Hi Zamani, In the 15" Compomotive MO wheels, I have 309mm discs with Brembo 4-pots.The discs are from the M3 BMW, reduced to this size from their original 315mm.Good stuff, they're handed too, L and R with curved vanes, 28mm thick. On the next set I'm making now, with the same calipers, I will ...
