Marques
Brands we source
We are a sourcing service, not a distributor and not an authorised reseller of any of these marques. What this list means is that we know where to find their parts in Japan, new or used, and what to check before we buy one.
Bride
Seats and interior
Fixed-back and reclining bucket seats, plus chassis-specific seat rails. The rail is as chassis-specific as the seat, and we quote both together.
MOMO
Seats and interior
Steering wheels, gear knobs and hubs. Italian rather than Japanese, but fitted to so many JDM cars from the factory and by their first owners that it is part of the landscape.
Recaro
Seats and interior
German-made, though the Japanese market versions and the factory-fitted Type R and STI seats differ from the European catalogue. Rails are market-specific.
Genuine factory parts
Alongside the aftermarket, we source genuine parts from the makes below through the same process. Genuine is often the right answer on these cars, particularly for body panels, lighting and anything safety related.
Counterfeits
What we check before we buy
Wheels, engine dress-up parts and anything with a well-known name on it are routinely faked in this market. We photograph forging stamps, casting marks, date codes and part numbers, and we weigh wheels against the genuine article. If we cannot verify a part, we say so rather than quote it.
