Plummeting Yen

[VTECJimStar]

May be interesting times ahead for the RRP of the next shipment of Euros. The Oz dollar has dropped nearly 30% against the Yen.
Maybe the Lux Version of he Euro may have some features removed to keep the price down ??

THose are Euro R pedals. JDMYard has a set of those in stock for $255+shipping. I was tempted but didn't buy it.

You can also get the copies at strutking.com

Just make sure you ask them to send you the rsx footrest instead of the tsx one.

Ive had them on for a while now. Well made and about 1/3 of the cost of the genuine euro r pedals

Also use the "tsxclub" coupon password for a 10% discount. :thumbsup:

[The X Man]

Is this the set? http://www.strutking.com/rsx/rsx-sport-pedal-set-mt-/prod_4.html

[Suntzu]

Why do we order the RSX and not the TSX? Is that due to a different pedal set for RHD?

[D R U]

Is this the set? http://www.strutking.com/rsx/rsx-sport-pedal-set-mt-/prod_4.html

Thats the rsx (integra) set, this is the tsx (euro) set.

Why do we order the RSX and not the TSX? Is that due to a different pedal set for RHD?

Yeah pretty much. The rsx footrest looks like our euro footrest, whereas their tsx footrest looks like a rectangle.

Ive got the rsx footrest, it fits perfectly.

[Suntzu]

So i just order the full RSX set. or do I ask for TSX A/B/C and RSX Foot?

Is it dogdey being bolted on to a worn rubber pad?

Order the TSX kit but ask for the RSX foot rest.

You take off the rubber pad on your brake and clutch pedals, drill holes into the metal and then rivet the metal pedals on.

[Suntzu]

Sweet. ill order it. Hopefully they ship to down under

Yep just as aaron said, get the tsx set, but ask them to send you the rsx footrest.

Heres the install guide http://www.strutking.com/installs/RMT01install.pdf

Yeah they ship to AUS, i think it was total $120-140 shipped, but our dollar was better when at the time.

Where is the backing for your statement?
Evidence?
Scenario you have experienced?
e.g Exchange rate they raughted you for?

nor can i, not much difference. :p

[aaronng]

When I bought something using paypal from the US, the rate given was 0.02 worse than the exchange rate published online. I remember it was 0.91, and I got 0.89.

[votek]

yeah.. prices for parts have sky rocketed.. i emailed shift performance about an exhaust for a honda euro and look at the damn prices they gave me:

Mugen cat back $3300

Fujitsubo Legalis R cat back $2345

HKS Silent Hi Power cat back Cannon style Mufflers -$2445

HKS Espremium cat back $2685

They said "All prices are calculated at today’s exchange rate and include shipping from Japan, taxes, and custom duties "

[Euro08Jaz]

more time to save money for parts i suppose...
