You can use the rear arms from VII-IX. I have 2 from IX as well as the original were broken.
Let me know if you will need some pictures of particular VI parts. I have as well pdf manual.

That's really good news about the arms. Will make fitting the Evo subframe a lot easier. That's a ways away though. In the meantime...

I installed my HIDs tonight. Amazing difference from stock. Had to adjust my beams though so I wouldn't blind other drivers. I also got this installed:



Obviously the boost gauge does nothing, but the voltage is working and I'm working on the oil temp (need to install the sensor).

They are rare unless you are in Japan.

I wouldn't say rare as a global commodity, but rare to see in the US. The only sets I know of here are on actual Tommis that were imported (somehow...). There are tons of them in Japan and the UK.

If you ever consider selling, let me know. Shipping is insane from overseas, which is why I don't have a set yet.

Hm. I've heard different things like there were only 2500 tme's made, blah blah blah, but I never did the research myself, I'm sure there are more in the european and japanese markets but I have yet to see another car stateside with the same wheels. As for selling them I don't have the funds to get another set of wheels that I would like as much as these so they aren't currently on the market but I will keep you in mind when the time comes.

I filally got a set of original TME rims second hand. I paid 500 euro for them and was going to put them on My makinen and sell the SE37's but i've had a change of heart after overwhelming calls to keep the SE's. I will sell them for what they cost me if anyone wants them. shipping may be cheaper with certain couriers so find the cheapest and let me know if you want them. they have some rash but originals are hard to get even over here.
