Just thought I'd share some pics of these misc RE Amemiya parts going into my drift project... RE Amemiya steering wheel. It was used, but not in bad shape. What I have been trying to find out is who RE Amemiya used to manufacture the wheel since it is stamped "made in Italy"..anybody know who RE uses for their steering wheels?? I also picked up an RE Amemiya 1.5/500 boost/vac gauge. Just need to get the car up to my garage after the painting was done so I can put it all together, lol... I'll post some pics of other parts shortly...

Lol, I'm like NEVER home anymore... I have to fly down to Orlando on weds, and I'll be back the following weds, and when I come home, I'm bringing the car back to my garage to put the engine & driveline back in. I'm still waiting to hear back from the driveshaft shop on my new driveshaft. I also want to get new dif mounts, etc put in while I have everything out... I'll have more pics around xmas,lol.

One320B waited for about a year before he found this one. He paid something outrageous for it to. But its a price to pay for RE stuff. He has a guy over there who finds his stuff for him. And he has a a dude who works for RE I think that he is getting alot of his parts through

Yea, I've got a guy on the inside,lol. No but I do have a guy who keeps his eye on FC RE Amemiya parts that come through his shop...90% of the stuff is used since RE doesnt manufacturer nearly as many FC parts as they used to. Before he found this black/blue one ...he had a Green one, it didn't go w/ my car at all..but i was SOOO close to getting it just because it took so long to find one!
We won't discuss price...especially for a used wheel thats at least 10 years old (but in GREAT shape), lol

Sometimes you can find stuff on Ebay though, but I'm not sure how legit some of it is.
If you contact RE Amemiya via their English link on the website, you will get a reply from Ianuki(sp?) I've dealt with him too. It sometimes just takes weeks before getting a reply, and doing business this way is very slow...
