Of course, I'll join from UK..... sorry just from Nagoya. I'll pick you up at Nagoya station then moving to Toyota city with my Altteza. Calling my friends who has Altteza too. I'll arrange all activities for you. For example. Toyota museum Toyota exhibition hall Tuning shops Netz(car deler of Altteza)(head office of Altteza network club) Shopping (Kimono, Japanese food, etc) And when? Today?? masashi

Oh, I didn't know there's a guy registered in Japanese auction. So both of you live at the next door of mine? masashi

That's fortunately... You should extend the day flying back to UK untill the next week. I always do so to get a private time while staying in UK. (my boss get angry....) In cace of you, it probably can be helped. I understand your opportunity. So if you would have changed your schedule, let me know A.S.A.P. And tell me your hotel. I'll check the place of Blitz shop(acutually head office is in near Nagoya. That's my town!!)in Tokyo, telling you how to get there. Tom's too. masashi

it's an amazing thing!! How do you get this information from auction centre?? I'm in Japan but i can't get any information when I'm in home.. Just a way getting information is going to shops! For white one. one owner car. after market suspension, mufler and trust's turbo kit. normal parts are in the car. It's from Ishikawa pre. means in winter running on the snow road. masashi

Kavey TRD shop is in this place at Tokyo and Amlux too. You can get there easier than Aichi pre. see this one maga wave in Tokyo But I usually go to Tokyo on my business trip within one day. And my costomer from UK always comes Nagoya from Narita air port by himself although he doesn't read any Japanese... You'll see English sign anywhere. So you can do it! I need to check my business schedule to take the day off. What do you think? Kavey masashi

Hi Kavey There's a store named Plaza Anjou in Aichi pre. which is basicly car deler of Toyota and also TRD, TOM'S, BLITS and etc. are available. And there's a head office of ANC ( Altteza network club) which is the biggest Altteza owner's club in Japan in it. Also Mr. Katayama who is a person of TMC develop dept. for Altteza as a cheef enginner is very close to this store. So I think you'll be able to get many of parts and imformations for Altteza from there. I' m living in Nagoya city central of Japan and it's 45 minutes drive from Anjou Plaza. It will take 1 hour 40 minutes from Tokyo to Nagoya by Sinkansen train( like a Euro Star). If you'll be able to come to Nagoya, I'll be able to help you specialy Saturday & Sunday. Couse I have to work on week day........ see you Masashi

kev dood-No worries. I am a sales manager actually. but not dealer!! A sales manager must be quick anytime?? A company I'm woking at there has been manufacturing door trim, parking brake lever, b&c pedal and many of pressing parts for Altteza!! But no grill!! Too bad. Yes & no. We can get a optional extra grill from dealer with Y21,400. But we can choose only standard colour. (ex. white, silver. black. blue..........) Also we can get TRD sports grill from deler. I made a misstake for the price. (Am I a sales manager?) It's only Y22,000. But just carbon film type.

kev dood That price is included painting for the dealer's option. But TRD's one is carbon look printed type. see this one TRD sports grill I'm afraid it's written in only Japanese !!

Hi@ If you buy Altteza, you should better buying minor changed model which has being rereased from Aug. 2001. I have bought it(2002y model) , after selling my x-car(1999y). The differences between these two are as follows. 1. Final gear ratio 4.1 to 4.3 2. spring & damper 10% harder than old model 3. head lamp changed to discharge lamp(very bright) (only after Aug. 2002 model) 4. speed meter added degital monitor Off course they are Quite Reliable(I had used my x-car for 3 years, no problem) and mirrors Fold electricaly. The electrical seats are only L edition. My current car (RS200 Z edition 6MT) has no electrical seats but it's o.k. The current price for second hand car in Japan as follows. 1999y y1,500,000 2000y y1,600,000 2001y y1,800,000 2002y y1,950,000 2003y y2,150,000(Yes, we can find them sometimes) masashi from Japan @@

Hi I can tell you what kind of strut bar available in Japan. TRD y26,000(136) CUSCO y12,000 to y26,000(there are 4 kinds) TANABE y13,000(68) GAB y18,000(95) FET y33,000(174) HKS kansai y18,000(95) All of them can use for the both of 4 & 6 cyl. I'm using CUSUO's one for my ALTTEZA RS200 Z EDITION 4 cyl. In order to get solid feeling from the suspension, also we'd prefer using a suspension member brace in Japan. They are released from TRD, TOM'S CUSCO & TANABE. The pricees are from y15,000(79) to y33,000(174) I think the brace is more effective than strut bar. Cause the ruber bushes conecting between suspension member and body are too soft. Sorry for my strange English. I'm probably a tipical Japanese. Masashi from Japan

Hi For the rifference, the price of Japan is y21,400(around 110). It's deler options. There's also a TRD version in Japan. The price is quite higher than deler's one. It's y35,000(around 180). masashi from Japan.
