Japanes parts!!!!

  Top of Page

Just found this today.

www.takakaira.co.jp

they act as a middle man to all the major jap companies.

heaps of stuff for the B4. I just bought a Fujitsubo exhaust manifold, not too expensive.

I'll let you know how it goes when I get it fitted and a retune.

Thanks for the link!!.. Nice find! :victory:

Just out of curiosity, how have you found their customer service so far?.. and what kind of Shipping/ freight costs have they charged you for the pieces you've ordered??

Thanks,

Jonno

Easy so far. You actually tell them the item you want then they tell you how much it costs. Apparently takes up to 24 hours to get shipping quotes.

I only put the order in today. I got an automated email of what I requested so I assume you have to wait for another one with total costs.

The transaction isn't finalised until you agree to the shipping costs.

I'll keep you updated.

Oh okay.. sounds the norm..

Please do keep us updated as I'm curious as to how much they're gonna slog you for shipping!!..

I know when I've received quotes from some of the other better known Subaru tuning part sites, they've wanted absolutely ridiculous amounts!!.. Such as $275 AUD for a $350 Strut brace or $450 for a front lip!!! (that's normal air freight.. although I have heard that the Japanese postal service do charge notoriously high prices, so it's not their fault)

Lets hope that these guys do a good deal for you!!.. Looks like they've got quite a good selection of bits!!

Cheers,

Jonno

$187ish shipping.

Not bad. Less than $1500 for B4 exhaust manifold delivered to my door.

Seems very proffesional so far. They will bill me tonight so now I suppose I just wait.

Will let you know how long it takes (using EMS).

That is Cheap!!!

From my experiences, EMS is a very fast service!
Last time I used EMS, it was the week before Christmas, ordered an item on the Thursday night around 10pm Sydney Time coming from the West Coast of the US, package arrived about 9am on the Monday.. Was very impressed!

Look forward to hearing how it all goes for you!

Received the headers today.

They look sick. I can't believe how light they are.
Full stainless. Good looking welds too.

Only one welded nut just before one of the turbo flanges.
This sound right to anyone? I assume it's for the oxy sensor
but what happens when it is using the other turbo?

Getting them fitted and a retune in a few weeks hopefully.

Will keep informed!

I think the idea is, you contact them with the info on the part you want, then they come back to you with pricing.

Could be wrong, but that's what I got from it.

????????????????????

Just type in Legacy or BE5 or Legacy B4 into the
search bar and hit search.

I think you need to enable pop ups too.

There was tons of stuff for the Libs.
