There is almost next to nothing near the airport. Just ride the airport express, it doesn't take that long to go out to the city.

They may understand english, but good luck, because they may not know what's the parts name in english.

Highly recommend them. They're also an authorized JUN dealer in HK. Owner (Simon) drives a highly modified black DC2R. Look at all the trophies in his office. He got them from years of cart racing.

Speaking Mandarin only tips them off that you're a tourist...gotta be able to speak Cantonese; even then, prices are not as good as you might think.

BTW, most of those shops are located in the Mong Kok area of Kowloon, except for maybe Racing Cross.

I'll post some addresses for these places later; I still think your time would be better spent eating seafood or buying clothes rather than trying to score JDM parts, but good luck!

Nothing close to the airport. The airport is on a different island than Hong kong island.

Nah, he means you might order a flywheel for a b16 in english and they hear "flywheel" and sell you a candy called "fly-on-wheel," for $4.95 and you bring it back and how the **** is that gonna fit in your car? That would suck! Or you get a nice light flywheel for a skyline!

Don't laugh, cuz when I went back, I asked a shop about "header", they don't know what I am talking about. So I tell them "exhaust manifold" or "banana" in Cantonese, and they finally understand. And when I said ITR Intake manifold, they have no clue what I am talking about, so I have to open the hood and point out what I am talking about. And when I ask injectors and fuel rail, they have no clue what I am talking about too. I can go on and on, but I guess you get the idea.

Old FELIX changed their name to GT Sport like a few other shops. Somehow a few shops there combined into one big shop call GT Sport. But seem like FELIX will re-open again right across from their old location. So old FELIX is called GT Sport now and new FELIX is across from the old FELIX. confusing??

yeap.....unfortunately to burst u guys bubbles, good luck finding stuff at good prices. about the only chance u have is to maybe find some1 who can take ya to a yard where u can scrumage for parts. shop prices are pretty ridiculous, some even to the point of more than US

HK is good for food, food, and more food

ken have ur friend go check out Mong Kok and look for some rim/tire places. u can cop some rims cheap. and u mite even get lucky and find some discontinued rims such as RNR etc. last time i was out there i saw a place that had all the discontinued Mugen rims
