Help me identify some Jdm parts

[Madaboutmx5s]

One for the JDM guru's amongst you. I've bought another roadster and need some help with identifying some of the parts.

Obvious stuff:

Full pitcrew conversion
Nielex door cards
Runabout s800 mirrors
Nakamae console
Pitcrew exhaust
Pitcrew manifold
Pitcrew Induction kit

However can anyone identify make of:

Strut brace
Coilovers
Speedo gauges
Heater vent panel
Jdm white wheel!!


Many thanks.

Man do I love that center exit exhaust. Should you ever want to let it go, please let me know.

[Madaboutmx5s]

Got another pitcrew centre exit exhaust on my other black roadster. These are nice exhausts.

Damn man, your addiction is strong!
Some parts ring a bell but sorry I dont remember any more what they are.

[Vegard]

Toda coilovers I think. Will have to look at hyper rev when home.

Congrats on a sweet car James!

Is bad mate. Man logic made me buy this for a few parts I want for the black roadster. I probably sell it once it gets here or store away and restore. I must not get emotionally attached! A good mate in the uk community is interested which would be a good home for it. Given all the nice parts want to see if I can find any info on it from minkara, etc as no doubt had some wheels on it too.

Thanks mate. If you could find out that would be great.

Please tell me you are going to restore this MX5 ??


The Gauges are Art-Works Dewa Version SMT :bow:

Needle caps are also Art Works Dewa :bow:

I want to say those coilovers look like Maruha BC (buddyclub) but the gold cups might mean I'm wrong.

HVAC is bugging me. The guy I got my SC from had one just like it on his import.

Strut brace might be a BeatRush they did make them with red feet but they are super rare.

I want to say the dails are AWD but I could be miles off it just looks like their style.

Thanks Randy for the info on the gauges. Believe it or not I've bought this car for the Pitcrew wiper and front chrome bumpers! Bought with limited info so pleased to see it has some nice parts. Now I've seen how clean it is underneath would like to see it restored.

Thanks mate for the info. Interesting info on the Beatrush info. Alloy section is similar.

Lovely car, you do seem to have a gift for finding things like this! Suspension looks similar to A'pexi N1 Type Pro?

Russell.

[Tkblazer]

I'm with vindi, coilovers look like older apexi n1 pros judging by shock body size and color. I had a set on my old integra. Very nice riding coilovers

[DK Wolf]

Those coilovers are buddy club, I'm floating at 90% sure. If not, might be Yonaka


I'd need another picture of the wheel to make sure but it's probably just a garbage upgarage brand wheel.

strut bar IS NOT beatrush, beatrush has feet that are offset from the "towers" meanwhile this strut brace has the tower that encompasses the entire foot. As there were plenty of different kinds they made, regular straight bar with a single slight bend at each end did not come out in the fashion as the one pictured. If I had to guess, it's probably a carbing bar since they a made a million different kinds and it looks similar to a previous one I had... just those holes in the towers is what's really throwing me off...

[DK Wolf]

Also, not apexi coils. Apexi never made coils in gold as far as I'm aware. It's really odd color to have and I've only seen buddy club have them like that..

(or BC/Stance)

Thanks Russell. I reckon it could be Apexi N1. Martin who you bought the Panasports from thought it was these when I sent him a photo. Not sure what the US guys think but here in the UK its rare to see a car like this so clean underneath with no rust build up.

Yeah just did. A google on Honda and they do look similar and fit with info from Russell and someone else.

Thanks mate. I guess until the car gets here I be second guessing the coilovers. They look nice though. Strut brace I think has the pitcrew racing logo on it so maybe Carbing or something that's been modded along the way. I'm guessing like you say the steering wheel is crap. Got a feeling this car had nice wheels and some other nice interior parts that were taken out before car ended up in car trade in Japan.

[vindi49]

From looking at Hyper Rev (and the pics in the link James provided) the Apexi match the way the collars sit (kind of twin stepped collar), colour of the springs, colour of the collars and the lines of the stickers at the bottom. The Apexi ones are a gold threaded body where the collars wind up. The base are silver in the magazine, but could be coming up gold looking with dust and the angle of the pic?
The Buddy Club ones seem to mostly have black collars, and the way the collars sit is different, a big collar at the top (holding the spring) and another big collar at the bottom.

This was a impulse buy based on man logic. It's still in Japan at the moment. I'd been looking at the Japanese car auction sites on and off for a little while now and saw this come up and took a punt. I have a good friend in the community who if he can raise the cash is interested in it as is to tidy up or when I gets here I probably do something similar.

Whilst my 3x cars are clean underneath and better then most underneath compared to what you see here in the UK due to the wet weather and salt on the roads in the winter to find one this clean underneath is practically impossible (unless its a fresh import).

The currency conversions and higher costs of mk1s in Japan has slowed down massively the number of cars being imported to the UK compared to 10 to 12 years ago.

Heater vent panel

More than likely KGW or SC Yokohama, but it's nearly impossible to ID from that distance.

[Vegard]

I'm still putting my money on Toda Fightex coilovers.

Thanks. I be interested when it arrives to find out. Some people in the UK are saying the strut brace is a pitcrew racing item based on photos of similar STB elsewhere too so we will see.
