WA suppliers for rolla upgrades

[bozurolla]

Ive had my plain jane Rolla 02 Ascent for four plus years now,Ive done most of the work in the engine bay myself from custom made exhaust headers to the installation of after market computer,Ide say engine bay wise is far from stock,Stuck a couple of Racing rims & Novelty japanese racing stickers here & there to complete the look,Ive come to the point now ide like to get outta the 'Stock' look & progress to the improvement of the outside of my ride,Being in the Automotive parts industry for ten plus years I thought it wouldve been easy to procure locally but Ive been disappointed at this stage.

Ide like to ask the members for help in giving me some names of suppliers(other than Ebay for now ),I am wanting to change at first an aftermarket Radiator grille (geniune TRD or lookalike,preferred TRD),Ive got Side skirts,Front & rear kit lined up from a inside guy in Toyota,And 'would love' to know how to get the wingtips for the rear.

I know in the past, members have been flogging parts profusely on the forum but most of the traffic has been from the east not many from the west,Any sort of input or offers would be appreciated,Ive put aside a nice lil budget for this,as in past i have been known to go overboard,But I will only buy quality parts,free from ties & defects...'no dogdeys'.

Please either post or PM me & I will return as promptly as i can & Ide like to thank all the members in advance for the past modding suggestions in the past ,Hope to hear from you

done buddy

[$ANGELO$]

going to check out J-Shop in Welshpool a friend of mine knows some one there...

hey mate. I reckon try our forum sponsor 'NextMod', especially for the wingtips.

He has to ship them straight from Japan here anyway, so its almost quicker to go straight to Perth so there shouldnt be too much of an issue

[and1]

if any info comes about.. send it this way please..

[Seano]

any news on this thread. Did anyone find a good place in Perth?

[theDefiant1]

I know a place in Vic Park that does exhausts +/- mandril bends +/- HPC coating plus any custom jobs you want. BUT I don't think any favours can be expected.

I also know of a really good panel beater near Vic Park. Very honest guy.

I also know of a guy who is high up in the Toyota finance dept (as in getting finance for a new car). Can also help with parts, but Melvin is probably better for parts.

That's all I can think of right now.

Tell him that Mr Silver sent you if you wish.

[Seano]

Thanks mate, legend

[theDefiant1]

Oh yeah, and the most important piece of info: speak to Trevor!

[$ANGELO$]

what are you guys looking for?? i have been looking around for parts for ages and have spent alot of $$$

my mechanic in bayswater is really good, hes helping me out with the Blitz kit and he did my 20 000k service for under $100 rotated tyres and every thing

[Seano]

To be honest all I'm thinking of at the moment is getting that front end work done, maybe tint my tail lights and maybe getting some racing rims. I know we've got Bob Jane, Ian diffen etc. But I'm looking for some proper light weight rims to put some Yokohama AVS ES100s on B)

Also apologies for the massive hijack of this thread

thats cool mate was an old thread anyways, the things you want are easily done should be no problems for you.. more of the performance and body parts are harder to get over here than anywhere else and they also cost alot more.. it just depends what your after guys??

It has been awhile since I started this thread but I'de like the WA members to post & recommend their past repairers & upgraders so we all can benefit from their experiences.I'de like this thread to be kept updated so we can accumulate a local TOCA perth business directory of sorts.

I'll start by a couple ..

Bozupapa! ure no.

Suspension retailers I've used for 'all' my cars either in being on track or street

For competition (coil overs) I've always soughted from Wilkinson Suspension

81 Beechboro road BAYSWATER (08) 9370 2646

Carries all coilovers brancds from Hotbits to the JDM favourites like s of Cusco & Tein

All australia premium Suspension brands Monroe,Gabriel etc & King & Koni springs etc

For the aftermarket JDM struts bars & rice upgrades

Vision-R

11 Bowen street O'CONNOR

Stockist of Buddy club rolling gear,Bride seating,ORC clutch kits etc

Like most retailers they cover mostly for Silvias,WRX's etc but I've personally enquired many parts for Evo's to my own rolla & the parts are of high quality & reasonable prices

(they might still be a lil expensive compared to our eastern contacts )but I've found they're quite pleasant to be in contact with, and not like the normal typical MOd shops i've associated with in the past, that in my opinion that very close to being total cowboys.

If you can afford it I'd like to recommend Prosser's Toyota in Canning Vale on Bannister Rd - excelent service there and have never had a problem with them. Of course since they are a genuine Toyota dealer it is a little pricer, but personally I'm willing to part with some coin knowing my car is being taken car of. Also a $20 hire car is a big plus for me considering I need my car everyday for work - in fact it was one of their Corolla hire cars that got me into Corollas in the first place.
