Hello I have a civic coupe and currently I live in Brazil but in the middle of the year will move to Australia(Sydney) to stay until the end of the year. I would like to buy some parts for my car and would like your help. What is the best way to buy those parts. The e-bay from Australia is a good option to do it or importing from the United States?

Here in Brazil we buy on ebay.com and pay a lot in taxes when it gets here it`s very expencive...

I want to buy lots of things ; suspension, motor parts...
My currently engine is a stock d16z6.

Thanks !

If someone wants something from brazil, just tell me and I can bring it.

BTW, where`s the best beachs to surf in sydney ? =D

Thanks :D

I`ll check it out. Hope find everything.

Is there many people who tune d16 in australia ?

Here in Brasil we have just 4 door civics (ex and lx and new Civic Si) but the old coupes and hatches were imported from 92~97. So there are just EK4, Ej1, Eg6, Eg5, CRX and Preludes... So when u buy things from e-bay, it takes so long to get here and it`s taxed =[.
I`d like to buy every thing in australia... probably it`s cheaper...

How does it works in aussie? do you have stores selling parts or the cheapest ones I find on e-bay ?

thks again ;)

Hey Emerson, most brazos head to either manly (where I am) or bondi. It depends where u want I guess. I have plenty of Brazilian friends as I train bjj under Marcelo Rezende from Gracie barra.
If ur going to bring anything, bring some women, seriously hot when I was in rio in 05 and 06

AHHAAHAH Dude, there are many hot girls here, but not that much hahah In Rio there are a lot I guess... beach city, hot weather. I want to meet some australian girls, they say they are hot too ! haha I want to surf also, as i see on tv u have awesome waves ! where is the best place to surf in Sydney ?

The streets here in brasil sucks... full of holes and scratches on the asphalt u can just run in some avenues or else your rim are dead... One of my rims were fixed 3 times and yesterday i got one flat tire, it really sucks ! besides everything are really expencive, all parts need be imported from the U.S. ... Fortnetly we got a honda skilled mechanic and he's very cool... In Aus I hope find parts easy as buy food on wallmart hahahaha and meet some friends too.
U guys seems to be very cool !

After i come back from gym i`ll post my car`s pics... hope u like ! =D

Search the forum, contact some local traders and Honda wreckers and u'll find what you are looking for.

If you get an engine or some other large parts, i can't imagine how much it would be to send back home to Brazil.
