REV9 Autosport

New products added

We started adding some new products to our lineup.

We’re beginning to add some ZOOM products. Their lineup is so huge! It’ll take a while to add everything they sell on the store, but we’ll do it.

We continued adding some Tuckin’99 exterior parts for the NCEC, they look great!

We brought some new Nielex parts to the web store, they have many more, but I don’t have enough information to put them on the website yet.

Many used parts were added too, they’re pretty nice for someone looking into restoring its car.

Recent price raises

Dear customers,

We’ve been obligated to raise the pricings on some of our products due to stronger Japanese Yen.

To explain, let’s say in early 2008 we were paying a product at JPY10,000. It costed us around $90 at the exchange rate of JPY110 for $1. Now, it’s JPY90 for $1. That means that the same product costs us $111 that’s over 23% loss. We tried to keep the prices the same for longer, but some products we were selling were now unprofitable.

Some products like ARIOS and RS Aizawa were put at $0 due to many changes in their pricings and exchange rate, we can’t keep a stable price on their products. You have to contact us to have the exact pricing.

The new prices are not definitive. If the Japanese Yen comes back to ~JPY100 to $1, we will adjust the prices again.

Thanks for all the customers and their loyalty in REV9 Autosport.

REV9 Shop Car Updates

Sorry for the time it took, but I didn’t have time at all to take pictures of my progress so here they are! I borrowed my friend’s 15″ Miata wheels with some 205/50 tires to see the look of 15″ wheels with big tires. I think I like it but it’s not as nice looking as my BBS.A few days ago, I did some dyno to check out the gains of some parts.

I wouldn’t call the numbers I got reliable but we tested them with a slippery clutch (that’s not helping for numbers). We tested the engine when it was at normal temperature and when hot (when hot, it lost about 2whp).

The results were:

REV9 Intake Chamber : +2 whp (no pictures… under development)
ARC Intake Chamber (can’t beat the JDM quality) : +6 whp

ARC Intake + iConcept Exhaust + iConcept Hi-Flow Car (car was hot, so could be a bit more): +14 whp

After that, my paint was in crappy condition. So, in exchange of services, I gave my car to a friend and he did a really nice job in detailing it so it shines like mad. I also added a hardtop, it’s now looking real sporty!

Then, we installed the iConcept exhaust. That thing is L O U D when the valve is opened (you’ll understand). We were in a rush so we didn’t install the exhaust perfectly, now it’s hanging way too high and it’s melting my bumper.

Here’s a picture of the valve, it can be closed to reduce noise (really quiet, but not real good sound). We adjust it with a tool(key?), REALLY easy and fast, nice if cops are harassing.

Now, some shots of the engine bay!

I installed the RS Aizawa strut bar (now it’s sandblasted, will be painted metallic gray). It really stiffens the car, it’s really nice looking too! I also installed ARC Intake Chamber and Nielex 1002 oil cap. Gives a nice look to my engine bay but there are way too many wires….

Unfortunately, my car has ABS and this strut bar (like every 3 point ones) are not made for ABS. We were able to bend the brake lines to make it fit… YEAH! Instructions are for pussies.

Then, it was time for the interior!

We installed the RS Products Meter Panel with some awesome RS Products Gauge Faces. Those really give a retro look to the interior. My gauge hood is in real bad shape so it’s why it’s not perfectly lined up. I need to get a new one.

At the same time, we installed my new NARDI steering wheel (I think it’s a Gara III). It’s same size as OEM but it feels way more sporty and the leather feels awesome. We used a DAIKEI plug and play hub, it was real easy to install and we got no airbag light at all.

Then, since I want my interior to be perfect, I bought some handbrake boot in black with black stitching, some leather brake handle (WOW, it’s really worth it for the look and feel) with a silver brake button (to fit with my shift knob) and a new shift boot in black with black stitching. My interior is really starting to be perfect.

I’m getting tired… seats will be next (ordered, should arrive in about a month).

Stay tuned!

H&R Springs Installed

Since a few days, I am riding on some new H&R Springs.

I must admit that they give a really low stance to the car (which I like a lot!).

The car is much more stable now and is a bit more rigid (but feels exactly like before comfort-wise).

Here are some pictures:

Before:

After:

And some random shots of the car with springs installed:

Stay updated!

REV9 Shop Car Updates

Well, since a few days, I installed some parts to the car, hope you guys like them!

The car is starting to look more like I want it to look like.

I bought many parts from Japan which I can get to customers if they want to, just need to email me and I’ll get them for you.

Let’s see the updates:

First, I installed a Japan Rear Cover (with Eunos and Roadster badges). It looks awesome.

Then, I installed a KG Works Rear View Mirror

Then, I installed RS Products AC Panel Type 2 BLACK, RS Products Classic Switches & RS Products AC Buttons and Knobs. It really makes the interior look cleaner!
