Japan Trip

Hey guys I'm in Tokyo visiting my niece. I own a Evo IX SE and want to get some parts for my car that arent to expensive but are still cool. Keep in mind I cant bring things over sized! although I'd like to bring JDM recaros or an exhaust. But if you have and suggestions on where to go please clue me in. I'm going to Super Autobaccs, so anywhere else let me know I will post pics of cars and neat parts as my trip moves along.

-Tim

Autobacs there sucks. It's just a bigger Autozone, and not a specialty tuner shop like how the US Autobacs was in Socal, where turbos were on store shelves n such. I'm assuming you're going to the big one in Yokohama. When I went there all i could find for Evos were little accessories. I just picked up like stickers and little things like that. Why not go around to the dealerships. They have better stuff there and you could always get the updated Ralliart and Mistubishi Catalogs.

I'd stick to things you can fit in your suitcase and buy a ton of JDM headlights and taillights to pay for your trip!

Please post lots of pics too, I love seeing photos of Japanese car dealers, garages and shops.

I was over there for 2 years and I can tell you that aftermarket parts are more expensive there than in the US. A set of Advan RS rims would have cost me $3500.. OEM parts are a bit cheaper but not as cheap as people hype it up to be.
