jihwaan Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Does anyone know a supplier that is selling the Do luck rear tension set in aluminium- I have messaged a few suppliers but have as so far got no response? **Edit- from what I can gather they have been discontinued- can anyone confirm this?

jihwaan Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Sumo power and do-luck.co.uk havent replied to my emails. Does anyone know where I can get one of these ...? Hey captainchaos can you ask the ebay seller you bought yours from if he can get any more (I think I found him and emailed him in German but I dont know how good the translation was)?

Luxluc Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I got my Carbing braces (identical to Do-Luck) from Paul Whiffin. Maybee worth pm'ing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I thought they had been discontinued ages ago, just sold mine too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jihwaan Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 This isn't getting any better then... I just checked Whiffbitz site and the carbing ones listed are nothing like the do luck... Maybe I should message Paul- I might wait a day or two and hopefully he comes by this thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jihwaan Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Done - have PM'd him. I have just come across a post of Nic's on our aussie forum where he says carbing make the do-luck braces but dont sell them under their own name - maybe this has changed if do luck have discontinued them and they now sell them direct as carbing braces? shall wait and see but thanks everyone for your help!

RobSheffield Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I got my Carbing braces (identical to Do-Luck) But not identical to The Do-Luck RTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jihwaan Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 SO they arent identical then Rob? BTW Rob, have you still got your TS bonnet on? any chance of sending me some pics (I already saved all the ones in your gallery).. I have spent days chasing photo's of a black supra with do luck front trial rear and TS bonnet then I found your threads and gallery... (I am in process of getting said parts fitted to my black sup') so i could see what it looked like... and after seeing your car all I can say is it looks sh*t hot!!

RobSheffield Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 SO they arent identical then Rob? Not at all mate. The RTS looks more like a cage (though its not), a Carbing strut brace that i assume Luxluc was referring to is a strut brace. BTW Rob, have you still got your TS bonnet on? any chance of sending me some pics (I already saved all the ones in your gallery).. I have spent days chasing photo's of a black supra with do luck front trial rear and TS bonnet then I found your threads and gallery... (I am in process of getting said parts fitted to my black sup') so i could see what it looked like... and after seeing your car all I can say is it looks sh*t hot!! The TS bonnet is long gone sir. There are a lot of pics in the thread below http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=47823 But you may have seen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jihwaan Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks Rob- that was what i feared as I am after the do luck RTS not simply carbing braces... and so the search continues.... anyone else got any ideas where I may find a do luck rear tension set?

Luxluc Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 But not identical to The Do-Luck RTS Yes ... you're right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jihwaan Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) This is getting silly. Dusty at MVP has said he can get them but it will cost between 500 gbp and 750 gbp just for shipping from Japan >MVP USA > ME. starting to think this is impossible. Does anyone know if Jurgen could possibly source these? Edited February 18, 2010 by jihwaan (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jihwaan Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Im getting the car ready for a car show in few months and i think it would be the icing on the cake- I like the way it looks, gives me something to mount the exinguishers to etc... But yes I know they offer no roll protection but they are technically legal here coz they mount to stock points and dont interfere with dirver/ passenger.. where as if I buy a bolt in cage it is illegal..
