March 2004 BBox

[ozsamurai]

Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays, unfortunately I had a fairly Beat Free break due to having my wing in plaster, but I'm back with a vengence now! The next BBox is shaping up already to wit:

ORDERS FOR THIS BOX WILL CLOSE BY THE END OF FEB 2004 to ship early March.

ON OFFER:

PDC (Project A chips)
ECU Condenser sets
Mitsu Funnels 35, 55mm types

and of course whatever you find on the auction boards, or anything you might need from the Honda dealers can usually be here in 2 days.

Personally I have now nearly completed the wrecking of my spare Beat and there are now some engine and suspension parts also available

Starter motor, generator, wishbones, clutch /pressure plates, brake calipers, bell housing etc if anyone needs them best speak up before they go to Yahoo!.

Cheers All

Oz

PS Don't forget 'The Bond Beat' is up for grabs too, and if you smile right I might even split the shipping with you!;)

Hi Oz

As i have already mentioned elsewhere on the board, i would like to reserve some space in the Big Box for the stereo convertor and a set of Acura badges. I would ideally like the badges that have a red background and silver logo!

Im also looking one of the rear bumper inserts.
One of mine is missing. It is the top left that is missing as you look at the car from behind. Any chance of sourcing one of these too?

Could you let me know the total cost and ill get the pay pal thing up and running.

Thankyou

Ouija

[ozsamurai]

Understood, will try and source the insert, if there is one from the wrecker that will be the best, will check! for the stereo console unit, cozy lights, you must allow 2 weeks for them to make it for you as they don't usually carry stock, and specify details pls for them, ie, color, single or double DIN etc... Could you send me through the homepage address of the product you have decided on then I can put the order through when the funds arrive. Accura badges I am sourcing in the colors you want will get back to you as soon as I have confirmation.

Cheers

Oz

[Ouija]

Cheers Oz

I will be away over the weekend so ill get all the money sorted when i come back.

As far as the stereo goes id like the surround to be black with a single din space.
I plan on changing all the interior to black so just what ever you decide is best ill go with.

Let me know the total cost and ill get the funds to you as soon as possible.
Ill also chuck in a donation

Thanks Again.

Oz, can we have a breakdown of the box so far please?

(or a link to it)

Ade will be handling the box this time, as i'm in the middle of moving house

PW

[adrianp]

Yep, I'm handling it this time so I don't want anyone ordering whole bodykits etc...:p

Hopefully no-one will notice the change except for the postmark this end.

I'll let everyone know their share of the postage like Paul does once it's arrived.

Adrian.

[Paul w]

Hey oz, has the breaker got its rear parcel shelf sound padding and carpet? (if so can i have it??)

Also need an ashtray and a momo steering wheel and boss kit if cheap!

How much is a set of shocks? (koni or whatever)

PW

[ozsamurai]

Paul
I think the wrecker has the parcel shelf gear, will check and throw in the box for you.
As for the Momo steering wheel and column, have to watch the auctions for those, haven't seen any recently though....
Shocks, hmmm there is a set on auction at the moment look really good but a fraction high maybe, Adam's set was a bonus buy. Again keep your eyes on the auctions, the set I saw were

Momo Wheel
http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f15927809
Kayaba Shocks
http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b47955765
Koni Shocks
http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c47554788
Steering Boss
http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d44063111

Anyway anything you want me to bid on let me know

Cheers

Oz

[ozsamurai]

Sloppie, sorry about the confusion, I mentioned in another post to you the price of the chip is 10,000 yen, that includes all costs fees etc.....

Cheers

Oz

[sloppie]

money sent by paypal 03/02/2004.
thanks again

This question may have already been answered but does this chip replace the ECU? What I mean is, if your ECU packs it in can you purchace one of these units to replace it?

[sloppie]

hi jason,
No this chip needs to be soldered into the original chip location in the ecu, if you damage the ecu when installing you may need a new ecu!! (expensive i should think!!)
hope that answers your question.

steve

[Paul w]

Actually, it sits along side the main ecu chip in some kind of test chip possition. you have to fit a chip holder and fit a link, but thats about it.

i'll be doing a full guide when i do mine

PW

[sloppie]

hello paul,
i guess its not the chip i was thinking off!!! can't wait to fit it though!!

[Steve_M]

The ECU board was designed to take this Eprom in an Extra socket to allow upgrade etc. I would think that once soldered in, and perhaps even with a ZIF socket, then with either a jumper or link made the ecu will look to the new chip for some of its mapping information.

HTH

[Paul w]

Yup, thats the fella!

Oz- Do you know if you can get the original honda bonnet badge? i've just stuck mine back on with silicone!

PW

[ozsamurai]

If you could do me the flavor of looking up the part No. I'll see how much I can get it for

Cheers

Oz

[Steve_M]

Beat bonnet badge 75700-SS1-010 £14 inc postage

HTH

[ozsamurai]

Thanks for the part No.�@Steve, its 1320 yen over here + 5% tax lets know if you want me to get it.

Cheers

Oz

[Paul w]

Thankyou both

Steve, hows it mounted? i seem to have 2 rawlplugs in the bonnet....

PW

[Steve_M]

Thats it two small rawl plug type fixings, and a couple of strips of double side tape, both the little plugs and the tape come with a new badge.

HTH

[Paul w]

Hi Oz,
Has this box shipped?

(and my shocks?)

Cheers

PW

[ozsamurai]

Box is closed and will ship Sat 6th by EMS 3-5 days, your shocks went the day they arrived, snail mail.....lets know when they arrive.

Oz

[Paul w]

Nice one Oz!

How long does shipping take normally (snail mail)

PW

[ozsamurai]

To be honest Paul I don't know really, from Adam's last shock shippment a little over a month, but really I have no idea, they won't tell you a time at the PO, just that it will be over a month.

Cheers

Oz

[adrianp]

Oz has just told me that this months box has been shipped...

I'm just glad I was sitting down when I read his e-mail containing the postage cost...

The worst bit is, I have all these bits coming over to me and none of it's mine...:(

I'll put a post up when it arrives with details of who owes what.

Adrian.

[Paul w]

Oh dear Ade! sorry mate!

You'll get your bits from the last box when we meet up!

My wheels are back on, do you want your steels back? or do you have a buyer up in cheshire?

PW

[adrianp]

Hi All,

Just to let you know thst the Japanese postal service is better than ours... The box has literally just arrived...:cool:

I'll delve into it shortly and work out what bits owe what towards postage.

Oz, can you e-mail me with a list of who ordered which bits (unless you put one in the box for me...)

Paul, I haven't heard about the wheels, so I presume that they will be comming back to me unless you want a spare set??

Adrian.

[ozsamurai]

Adrian the box contents are always on line at tis address

Hey oz, what happened to the alloy wheel inserts? did they not arrive in time?

PW

[ozsamurai]

Watanabe completely ignored my mail, I haven't had any reply from them on it from 3 mails, wondering if they're actually interested........have to wait and try again, I may ring them this time when I get back... Don't stress I'm on the job and I'll turn some up somewhere....

Cheers

Oz

[Paul w]

You are a star!!

PW:D

[Steve_M]

Just as long as he brings loads of stuff with him, so the shipping is free.

Make it the week after i Win that Auction for the Mugen exhaust for my Integra :D

We could always buy his beat off him in May and have him drive it over to deliver it...:D

Stuffed with parts of course;)
