posted in this forum because i remember something like this a long time ago on here and he got lots of help...

 

Sorry can't help you.......... but good luck on your ventures

 

When are you leaving? I'll look around my house for some addresses for Japan.

 

Just go to SuperAutobacs at Odaiba...

 

Super Autobacs - Tokyo Bay/Shinonome (biggest one in JPN):

http://www.superautobacs.com/shop/sh.../shopinfo.html

Directions via subway from Tokyo Station:

1. Take JR Keiyo Line (the one that goes to Tokyo Disneyland).
2. Get off the train at Shinkiba Station (fourth stop I think),
and change to Tokyo Rinkai Kosoku Tetsudo.
3. Shinonome is the first stop on that line.

When you exit the station, SA-Tokyo Bay is across the main road...it's been a while since I went so I can't give you more details than that.

TEL: 03-3528-0357

Here is a map:




In Hong Kong, check out the shops in Mong Kok like TOP RACING and GT SPORT. Maybe the HK guyz can give better recommendations; I usually just go to Hong Kong to eat seafood and roast duck

you can spend hours in there, i must of bought ever hyper rev they had

 

I just got back from Hong Kong..
what you need to do is take the subway to the Prince Edwards Exit. Then take the "A" exit out of the subway station and walk towards the Mong Kok police station..

there are some cool little shops in that area..

Enjoy..

Make sure you enjoy all the dim sum and side walk cafes out there.. i miss it already.

Or Nelson Street exit at the Mong Kok station, exit to the left: you're headed the right way when you pass all the athletic shoe stores.

Don forget to burn down LKF the night before you come back.

 

thx... i'm leaving around dec...

 

ttt for more shops..

 

damn...dude...you're takin' the scenic route...all you need to do is to take the Yamanote or Kehin-tohoku line (the two most well-known line in Tokyo) and exit at Yurakucho station...then take the Yurikamome people mover across the rainbow bridge and exit at odaiba...easy!

superAutobacs is the place to go, but if you have money (and lots of it)...you should have someone take you to some of the smaller speed shops...there are a lot. Get a copy of Option or Option2 and find a speed shop near you.

Yellow Hat, Cockpit, Autobacs are other major autoparts stores...just gotta look for them...they're all over.

 

Hey I'm going to Japan in Dec too, does anyone know if the Tokyo Auto Salon is free to get into?

 

first place i would go when i hit japan would be a junk yard

 

how do you go about sending stuff back from japan? and how much does it cost? do you get taxed or anything?

 

I would try and send anything you don't need to use right away via Japan postal system by sea mail. It takes about a month to arrive in the states, but you'll save F loads of cash. The stuff you want to use right away...take with you. One thing, you"ll need to remember is that you'll be limited to 2 luggages at 70lbs each. anything more than that, you'll either get charged extra (expensive) or will be told to leave behind...each airline have different policies on this, but 70lbs seems to be consistant.

Taxes...anything over $1k, you will need to pay like 5% tax. You can lie about how much you paid (I've gotten away with this on many occasions) but if they open your bags at customs and find a lot of "expensive looking" stuff, they'll estimate on their best judgment and charge you for it. One time I was stopped for a VCR that my cousin gave me...it was worth like $600, but they estimated it to be over $1000, so I got charged like $50..


Tokyo auto Salon is like 1800 yen ($15) to get in...if you look young, you can say that your a student and get in for like 1200 yen ($10)

 

If you're leaving around December, you gotta stay for the Auto Salon.

You lucky %#$^^#@!~@@#$!!!!

wants to go to Japan.

 

dun even bother goin to hk's junkyard
unless u have hookup, they wont sell u anything.

 

I 2nd that. Or they will just rip the chit outta u.

That one close to Mongkok Police station is KAYABA shop. VERY close to it. And if u're lucky u can see their black JUN tuned 2.0 Integra R in real.

U're not Chinese rite?

 

YOU are the jdm guru!

 

Go to http://www.optionfans.com.hk/city_main.htm it has all the address you need

 

When you in HK d't go to GT SPORT, the price is attractive but nothing in stock, then they insisted you to buy second brand product..

SpoonEK4:
Have you seen that yellow JUN EVO5 in KAYABA about 2 months ago?
