I have no choice lah. Actually I am from HK but working in Shanghai. Car tuning in mainland China is so un-developed and I have bad experience in my previous tuning on a Mazda 6. The supply of kits are limited (all imports subject to real heavy duties) and the tuning skills are poor. So when I locked up EVO X as my target I have already decided to take the risk-free way, i.e. all bolt-ons!! Luckily I manage to get all the JDM kits from Tokyo directly through my network so there are not that way exepensive......

I was amazed to see your car realizing China is so exposed to the tuning world that a car modded like yours in Shanghai is totally unheard of. You must have good connections for those parts hookup. Must be quite a head turner driving around in Shanghai! Can't go wrong with JDM bolt-ons for reliability and trouble free maintenance. Is there any tunning shops in China that has dyno tuning?
Im also from HK
