The company is called J-COMPLETE, they are located in Japan, and have done a shitload of X300 / x308's.
They are the ones which Autocouture is trading.
If you go to their galleries, you can check on many of their conversions.
?????????????????????????????????????J-complete????????????

Default First reliability run

After owning my '98 X308 VDP for almost a year, I took it for a "real" run this last week-end from Orange Ca. to San Simeon Ca. just over 600 miles round trip including the detours. Most of my trips have been around town and a few longer ones not exceeding 150 miles. It ran great, although the ABS light/Traction control light came on twice, once 100 yds from my house and subsequently disappeared after the 1st stop, and once whilst in "stop-and-go" traffic in LA. All other systems ran as they should except the cigar lighters didn't work so charging my phone was a small inconvenience. I later found a blown 25 amp fuse in the boot fuse box which fixed that issue. I did notice a little steering "knocking" while I was driving over some non-paved roads, although on-road it was smooth as silk. I'll be investigating that knock later (which you can't hear, only feel through the steering wheel). I got 22 MPG over the whole trip, pretty good I think.
Here are a few photos I took whilst in the San Simeon area.

Yes, it's for WW1 remembrance, hard to find in California, I got it in England last year.
My grandfather served in the trenches at Ypres, luckily came back in 1 piece.
