good luck on ur trip Daniel ..

 

Thanks!

not leaving yet for another week and a half though

 

I think you should be OK if you stick with the big shops in Mong Kok...some of the Hong Kong expats on here should know the exact names.

Dunno how much money you're gonna save though - can't be as cheap as getting stuff in Japan

 

yah stuff in HK is roughly the same price as here.

 

I would suggest you goto either GT Sport, Top Racing, FELIX, or KAYABA. But like other ppl said, the price won't be much of a difference unless you have some hook up.

 

what brands are cheap to get in hong kong? like are some brands specifically cheaper?

for example, is cusco stuff there cheaper then the price we get it here? or the same?

i heard cusco stuff was cheap in japan i htink... im curious about whether it is cheap in HK too... I'm looking for a front lower tie bar hehe

 

only thing u'll find cheaper in HK is maybe some used parts and some knockoff stuffs.....knockoffs are running rampant out there!!

i wouldnt even waste my time price shopping out there it wont get u nowhere really....go and enjoy the food/atmosphere....what they do have cheep is clothes, dvd/vcd, and some electronics

le who is also going to HK for vacation

 

so if i go to those places, i am pretty much sure they won't sell me fake stuff?

i know the prices won't be much different, but i am on vacation and i can justify my spending more

 

Your chance of getting real stuffs from those shops would be greater, but you never know. Specially when the price is too good to be true, beware!!

Your best bet would be look around in the magazine and try to buy parts from those authorized dealers in HK. ie. for Spoon and Mugen, goto GT Sport; for JUN, goto Kayaba; for TODA, goto FELIX; and for Trust and Carbing, goto Top Racing.

 

Go Kayaba HK , tell Ben from AJR sent you you will be getting a deal

 

Pick up an Option Fans magazine right after u arrive and u can find addresses and phone#s all listed in there.

KAYABA shop and Felix are great with pretty good service. Haven't really hear good things from GT Sports though but depends on which branch u go to.

 

I have GREAT experience from GT Sport, every branch I walked into they serviced me good. I like going to their main branch the most, GREAT service and awsome showroom!!

And if you are lucky, you may see Mr. Spoon Jr. there.

i think i'll have to try that trick out when i go back to HK

 

I think i should move to china. With about $500,000 you can live like a king for the rest of your life. The plus about getting parts there is they probably have a bigger selection of parts they dont bring here.

Not quite

 

nice

i will pay them a visit...which part of HK are they in??

 

Whats the currency rate there??

Here are the shops that I recomend

Ao's racing 23885051

someone bring me back 1 OEM ITR wheel

 

They can smell the bling blings hide inside your pocket man. They can also sense that u ain't local customers. They treat local customer worse coz not everyone there can spend shiet load of $$ on parts.

 

I doubt that the case, since one time I went in and chat for like 30mins without spending a dollar, and when I go in the next time a few days later, the same guy still treat me nice, but all I spent was like $1000HKD at the end. I don't think that's a lot of money.

Also, I got worse service else where as a walk in customer in HK.

 

Me heading to HK for X'mas vacation too

won't worry much about buying car stuffs ... will just look forward to enjoy all the other fun stuffs.

 

Do you know what is a FROG in the WELL ? LOL

Keep it low

 

Yea, and it's only 1 hr. to Shenzhen by KTR train

If you go, check out the knockoff Gameboy Advance carts for RMB 60-70 each
