8) I take it you have also ordered all the hopupsthat are available as some shewn are not yet available such as the susp posts ali steering and universal shafts unless they are the same as the TA04-TRF :wink:
cos even without them its gonna be circa £86 pp; which is OK if your rich and rolling in the dosh Ha Ha
Good on yer M8
Got the wrong conversion factor the first time Ross :oops: :wink:

At todays exchange rate (196.552yen = £1) the TA-05 will set you back £85.47 and the chrome( PS-48 ),blue( PS-49 ) and pink( PS-50 ) paint £4.58 a tin. These prices DON'T include P+P 8) Quite fancy the Pearl Blue paint myself :wink: The TT-01R and the TT-01D(drifter) both come in at £65.12 again not including P+P :wink:
