K I arrives

[karmaimport]

Hello everyone,

We have just joined the ITR-DC5 forum and let us introduce ourselves to you.

We are a tuning and styling company who specialise in working with Japanese cars. Our services include engine tuning, body kit fitting and spraying, interior leather re-trim and ice installation. We can also offer a wide range of body kits and performance parts (Mugen, HKS, Spoon, Blitz, Trust/Greddy etc) for most of the Japanese cars.

We are situated in Kingswood, Bristol inside two industrial units. Unit 19 is our workshop for engine works and unit 20 is our newly opened spray shop.

If you want to know more about us, please visit our website at

www.karma-import.com

Discount will be given to group buyers.

Hope to see you all very soon.

This is a pure N/A tuning DC5, it's running at about 273bhp at the moment and we are planning to get it up to 320bhp with no turbo and no super charger.

very nice!

mine came from bristol somewhere

might have come via you lot?

 

[Evil_Weasel]

Stand to be corrected, but I think the 'Import' in Karma Import refers to the importing of parts rather than the whole cars!

If your car came from Bristol, was probably either Bristol Import Centre or Car Imports Direct (where I got mine from!).

ScottieCTR knows these guys well and has only ever said good things about Kelvin and the guys there, and I had my Spoon springs fitted there and hope to go back there.

I've been thinking of an HKS Hi-Power exhaust for my car after reading some good things on this forum, and I see KI do HKS stuff.... will have to get a quote!

Oh, and hope KI guys don't mind, but that picture above is damn nice, and the perfect shape and size to go as a wallpaper on my new K750i!

Hi,

Welcome!!

They do import cars, and have 2 DC5s on there way over (probably here by now).

As Mr Weasel said I have nothing but good things to say about them. Fitted my Spoon springs on the DC5 and did various things on my CTR.

1 issue though Kelvin, check this out and let me know what you think:

I don't want my suspension falling apart if it's the wrong way around [/b]

 

[Tarmac]

Hi Kelvin,sorry for the late welcome, I've been "busy" :lol:

Thanks for all the supports guys!

Well, we do import car as well, but we seem to sell more performance parts than importing cars, we did sell a few EK9, DC2 and DC5, so if you want a good Jap Honda, please drop us a email and we would sort it out for you!

[mudz-itr]

I'll be there, make sure the kettle is on Alex!!!

EDIT: can you get us folks a price for parcel shelves, both carbon fibre and normal for the DC5, there's a few interested so could be a nice Group Buy 8)

Yeah - didn't even get a brew there yesterday eveing - very dissapointed :lol:

Evil Weasel, did you check yours properly again?

Argh... I'm all confused now... :x

So they should be tighter coils at the top at the front of the car, and looser coils at the top at the back of the car...?

Think a trip to KI might still be in order for me! :shock:

Yep - thats the way.

Close coils at the bottom on the rear
Close coils at the top on the fronts

Also makes the SPOON logo read the right way up on all the springs (spooky that :lol: )

Parcel shelves? Is that the board which hold the speakers or the boot gate?

The part that hangs from rear windscreen.
