HELP! UK Performance parts???

I've been tryin' to find a performance exhaust system here in the north west of England, with no joy. The only manufacturer that did the 4th gen was apparently Janspeed who have now gone out of business.

This leaves me with my only option at present which is to have a custom made stainless system from Topgear in Burnley - nice, but expensive!

Do any of the UK luders know if there is an importer of Greddy, HKS, Powerflow, Neuspeed etc...in North West England, or even England, or Europe or planet f**king Zargon 9. 'Cos I'm gettin' tired of the attitude of so called performance centres who think the 4th gen is for withered old grey haired clams with travel rugs on the back shelf!

Hey dude.

I'm from Manchester to, and run a small Japanese Car Club for the North West!!
I had problems finding a decent exhaust too, and got a custom made one from JP exhausts in Macclesfield.

Drop me a mail offline, and i'll give you some details.

By the way, what's your name - i'm Adam C, and i may know you from Honda R??

I don't really feel like a newbie, it's just taken me a while to find a discussion board with good people like this, been wastin' my time at hondamod.com (full of kids arguing about how fast their Civics are!) The price I have at the mo' is £300 all-in for a stainless cat-back system, which I think is pretty cheap.

Anyway it'd be great if you could let me have some details on Jap performance importers, cheers ahhh kid!(Manc stereotype in the house )

Demon: Phoned JP this morn' but they're booked up 'till the 16th gonna have to try Topgear in Burnley as the exhaust's blowing at the mo'. I'll let u know how I get on...

Until then..........H22A_MANCS_RULE!

Good price. If you had around £500 then there's a place that sells imported systems for our car.
Have a look at www.upauto.co.uk anyway.

I have purchased some parts over here in the States for a few guys over in England. The price can get high for shipping, but most of the time, you still pay less for the stuff plus shipping, than if you were to find someone over there to get it for you. let me know what you have to spend, and I can tell you what I can get you with shipping to you in England. If your budget is 300 GBP, then coverted to US dollars that's about 430 +/- 50. So let me know if you would like my help.

Thanx for the offer Doctor, that's very kind of you. However, I've just had the Powerflow stainless system fitted so at the moment I'm adjusting to the extra noise!! !imagepree

Actually, I have my JD from law school. But I inherited the name Doc, because I can fix just about anything. My friends all call me Doc, So it just stuck.
