I need one too. Preferably one from Europe rather than Japan. Its the only way you can order the hood spoiler.

I believe once someone in the states orders a part it becomes unlocked in the system. This will allow others to order a part with out a VIN.
Well, that what I was talking about with the parts guy anyway. Can you guys over there help us out ? Thanks -------------------- I will return one day. |

He indicated that he could get it if I had a VIN# of the car that came with the part stock. Thats only the European ST205's. He confirmed that it has NOT been discontinued. And, I wouldn't order any part from Toysport.

I read that it was designed to reduce hood vibration over 150km/h. I guess I just assumed that would be ST205's only....laughs. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

It looks like you also need the taller washer nozzels as well. I think its about $30-40 if you can get it from Toyota. The trick is finding a European ST205 vin number. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

I dont know what you have locally, but you may be able to go and have them make you a similar spoiler.
