i got that picture from www.club4ag.com the guy selling it is from Manila and i think he's selling it for 35,000 php,
right now thats too much for me,..... i still have to buy some more parts for my engine (pistons set, stage 2 cams, valves, maybe some forge connecting rods)

where else can i look for some used old school rims there in the Philippines?

im trying to look for some rims there in Philippines coz over here,.... there selling it for alot.

[usrolla]

actuall bro hes selling it at 25k only. maybe its the same guy in manila but sa grupotoyota na selling thread its 25k.

25K is not that bad for the condition its in. the design is pretty cool but im not liking the lip/dish

@ Ska: Yep mas kas gyud. Go for the Lxi nalang then if got spare purchase 2nd hand mags. Pwede rasad Vti - cge lang gamit neutral -hehe (that's what I do til now since 1.6 sad ni ako)

@ Cholo: I've got a gym buddy who's into selling 2nd hand cars so I guess me must have some old school rims..
But do u have a good painter with u there? the paint conditions of these rims might be tarnished...

CHOLOCOY .... the Z is basically STOCK for the moment . It is mildly set-up for drifting with TEIN coilovers .

Under the hood ive installed NISMO HEADERS from an 05 Z with custom mandrel bent 3" Y pipe exhaust and Tanabe G medlaion universal mufflers and HKS ignition system and grounding kit .

Inside , a limited edition SPARCO wheel with an LCD for TIME ATTACK a used one I paid for $ 80 but it came of from an S2000 so I have to buy an adapter for the Z , PRoject MU stress free SHIFT KNOB , GAS , BRAKE , CLUTH and FOOT REST Pedals . Pretty much thats it for the moment basing on whats available for the car and most of all whats available in my bank account lol . Mahal kaau ang upgrade sa Z bai .. I dont even know why I need to upgrade it when there is a reason why its called the POORMANS PORSCHE just like the NSX the PORRMANS FERRARI .

My JDM theme is also limited ... a limited edition SILVER and BLUE OPTION sticker , an ENEOS MOTOR OIL sticker ( recently change my oil b4 I left and very noticeable ang improvement sa accel ) , Z33 license plate in front in the left hand side murag pina EVO ba .

Too bad I have to depart with it because I am in Cebu right now for an indefinitie amount of time . My lil sis is driving it smoking everyone in the freeways of Vegas hehehe .

Anyways .. theres a lot of OLD SCHOOL JDM wheels where I get my car tuned and hang out bai in Vegas . Its called JSAP ( Japanese Specialty Auotparts ) . They are cheap because they dont have no middlemen unlike most tuning shops who sells JDM stuff . They are JAPANESE themselves who has shops also in Japan . They export USDM and import JDM . very good people , very humble , very low profile ( yeah they are connceted with TEAM ORANGE sa D1 GRAND PRIX na team ) very knowledgeable . Why talk,deal and have business with people in the industry about JDM when they are not Japanese ? Hehehe ... bitaw bai I PM you their contact number and website .

@ spartan301 : i have a place where they restore and fix rims/wheels or any kind of metal like chrome, aluminum and whatever.
but if you can ask him if he has any of those old rims laying around,..... or know someone that has one.


@ SPRINGFIELD_XD_40 : thats good that you got the basic upgrades done already,..... i would want to have one of those LCD time attack gadget (i dint think about that)

i was googling JSAP and i couldn't find anything related to JDM parts,...... so yeah,... i'll be real great if you can get me that web site or whatever,...... maybe another reason to go Vegas.
