Parts to buy in Japan...

[zero33]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if you guys went to Japan what would you get for your car?

Going there in a few months time.. not sure what to get that would be worth while...

[.::F[L]Y::.]

coilovers? brakes? defi gauges?

[WhiteAP1]

Id say electronics or maybe a few second hand AP2 parts, rims are pretty cheap over there too.

Instant noodles of course... I usually grab myself a box or 2 of the kitsune udon whenever i go... electronics and accessories that you can't get here

[WhiteAP1]

Any car part available in Japan can easily sourced here but buying directly in Japan would mean huge savings.

Im not sure that udon noodles would benefit his car setup though

I went to Japan with a couple of AP1 owners twice.
And twice we came back with headers, exhaust and suspension parts.
they are just small enough to check in as baggage, heavy enough to make it worthwhile not paying shipping for.

NICE!!!

I went and looked at the exhaust/headers/suspension aspects but they really were too heavy..

i came back with strut braces front n rear + ap2 front n rear lights ;)

its more handy if you know someone over there........
otherwise you might come back with empty hand

Between me and my brother, we had 100kgs of luggage. Checked in and hand carry. Didn't pay a cent for overweight. Hahaha

are spoon monoblock calipers really cheap in japan? say if you were to walk into the spoon workshop to buy them?

[h17am]

you'd pay retail price on it.
so whatever the price is on the catalog, that's how much you'll pay.
unless you've been there before and get to know them etc then a "special" price might be give.
