    Toysport Review?

    Hey everyone!
    i just reg w/ the forum, i havent been playing with my car for over 3yrs due to other activities .
    anyways i havent been in touch with the market very much, i found a site Toysport.com they have the TEIN suspenion im looking to get but i wanted to see if anyone has any good or bad reviews about this company?

    hopefully this can help me make a decision on whether to spend 1100 with them or not.
    thanks for anyhelp!

    full SS system.
    i bought the first Wagon (non adustable shocks) system when they came out back in 03, im glad they have the adjustable shocks now. so ill grab the system again.

    bough it from the local shop, cost me 1600 and 8 weeks to get there from japan lol.

    According to Club4AG.com toysports takes FOREVER to get you your parts.. some guy said if you order anything from them, by the time it gets here you probably dont need it anymore.

    I wouldn't consider SS fully adjustable.. still cant do anything about spring preload or camber.

    well here's the breakdown...

    motor 1 - got car @ 34k, boosted it at 89k, car was smashed by an idiot who ran a red light at 113,000 --- about 24,500 miles boosted (100% of turbo setup survived, re-engineered the manifold and downpipe for better flow before transfering to ... )

    motor 2 - got car @ 92K, boosted it at 96K, engine was still in great shape when pulled, however, i had a nice fresh motor sitting in the garage that begged to taste the turbo, pulled it at 116k --- about 20,000 miles boosted (that turbo is still kickin!)

    motor 3 - already put about 10,000 miles on it ... comin up close to 60k (think i mentioned i crossed 60k the other day to someone, meant 50k... doah...) but yeah, i'll cross 60k in the next six or so months.

    yes.... that is at least how they were as of a year ago

    i know of someone who ordered a complete 20V harness from them... they took almost a year, and then told the guy they couldn't get it

    he ended up selling his project car becuase toysport took so long, and the guy had already bought a twincam saturn and was modifying it.....
