ae111 95 vs 97.... parts swap

[CozmoNz]

im just wondering if there any ANY changes in parts from the later 97 bz-r and the earlier bz-g/v etc, im planning on stealing their bumper, and headlights etc.

just is there ANYTHING that needs to be changed in car? the ecu cant handle something or something bizare, im just wondering ^_^.



oh and revhead, how much for a 5sp gear knob.... my one was replaced via aftermarket, and it really sux... stupid pre owner

[Mr Revhead]

well i can do the momo one for around $500!!!

should be able to sort you one cheap.

there are differences, the bumper mounts should fit, but you may find the head lamp plugs are different, see if you can get the plugs off the donor car, the ecu wont be a problem if your just doing the bumper and lamps

[CozmoNz]

can i get a pic man? and yeh, ill get it checked out (chances are ill annoy you if i cant get them elsewhere), how much u get bz-r bodykit for? and headlamps etc.

and how much for that gearknob i miss a good one in my car.

I actually like the older BZ-G front better thn the BZ-R ones, as long as you have the lower lip, but i would love to fit the BZ-R headlights and tail lights - they look soooooooooooo much better

[Mr Revhead]

that momo knob is the factory option one, i dont have a pick im afraid... i dont relly wanna sell a $550 gear knob... id feel like i was ripping you off! eventhough its toyota japan doing the ripping off!! when i said i coul dsort you one cheap, i meant a gear knob, not a momo one!

finding bz-r bits can be bloody hard, theres bugger all been wrecked, and if they have been its normally the kit that dies first... im trying to get my hands on a lower lip for the bzr so i can get moulds made cause you cant get them new

[qik20v]

ive fitted bzr taillights and headlights

they look way better, esp the headlights...but the problem is now my fog lights arent bling bling reflextive like my headlights.

the only problem is a small gap between the grill and the headlight, but im happy to live with it. i need to take a picture so dont hassle me for one.

i agree about the bzr front bumper, looks more grandma than the bzg

[CozmoNz]

i could get aftermarket... but meh

the headlights and taillights interest me though. how much for the knob revhead - something very toyota ish yet stylie

[Mr Revhead]

ok you asked... genuine momo as found in the 5 speed bz-g or bz-v is $590 ins gst. i think you could get better deals than that! go see what ya local repco has, then tell me which one you want, they have like a 200% markup on most!

[qik20v]

is a standard bzg knob a momo? the one with leather over the top???

a normal momo from mag and turbo is only $120 and you can choose whatever style you like

or if your talking about the standard bzg gear knob, you can buy mine for the price of a momo !!!!

[Mr Revhead]

no not the standard one, there is a momo option.
yeah id reco mend going elsewhere, toyotas price is beyond insane!

[aesc]

What about the TRD leather ones that are kinda the same shape as standard? They are quite nice

[Mr Revhead]

oh dear, i gotta think more!!
haha see here:

http://trdparts.jp/english/parts_shift-knob.html

all inc gst

[HZRDIZ]

I must say im quite liking that 2nd one...
