Hardrace parts? - sources for parts

Post by mindxcycle »

Hi Guys,

If possible would like to know what Hardrace parts are compatible/available for the FTO's (mine in particular is a 95 gpx)? (aftermarket or oem not too fussed the more info the better).

A lot of the old links and photos are dead for arms and bushes etc via camskill and hardrace and few others on the forum. Since ive been having to source oem or parts overseas where i feel places like Hardrace etc would be local/easier/cheaper etc.

Pretty much would like a updated summary or collection of places/online or not to source parts of a more recent date for some newer members with some places being closed or under new names. (E.g Shelby swaybars --> Signature Swaybars, Camskill seems to be a tyre shop now ... etc)

For now the main sources i've been using is Amayama, mitsubishi dealerships, sparebox as of recently depending whats available and occasional ebay depending on sellers. Also know the Yahoo Japan has come up although not too good with bidding and translations.

Thank you

Ish/MindCycle

Just took a look, that site is quite detailed also with partnumbers, exploded diagrams and pictures. Pretty handy to have around.
Thank you. I'll add it to the list. Happy to buy out of country, just at the moment pressed for time :|

I'm in the process of doing the master bush listing, including the Hard Race gear.

I just got a power steering/aircon tensioner pulley from viamoto, it took 3 days from ordering to get from the UK to Australia, and then another 6 days to me. I thought that was pretty good considering I live in a remote area and It was stuck in customs for 2 days (didn't move on until I gave FedEx a nudge, it then cleared customs a couple of hours later).

Oh wow didn't realise the turn over time was good, was expecting few weeks to months. Although most of the parts i'm after are before an alignment on Monday or Wednesday depending how we go (got the trackday on the Wednesday). Thats good to know thanks Rob. :)

That spreadsheet is looking awesome! Looks like quite a time consuming job but well worth it. ! :)

I might even put a pivot table in it, so you can select your model & have it automatically update the relevant parts :hmm:

Yeah but expensive delivery, cost me 30 quid I think which is about 50 bucks.

Careful what you're ordering them for. They only fit the dog bones, not the control arm. That spreadsheet wasn't quite right at the time.

Good thing I haven't ordered yet. I was pre-empting until I actually did an inspection. Bushes still relatively good at the back. So just to confirm they won't fit the inner and outer control arms? Dogbones are ok for now.
