JDM Parts...
 

Specifically Honda, but does anyone know what parts are the hottest for JDM enthusiasts? If you don't know, I will be in Japan all summer, with some free time, and I have been saving my money to do a little enterprising...

Hoping to make a list of things to buy/look for...discount to GS members/people who reserve junk!

Current list of to gets:

CRX Rear Seat


Requests:
B18C (Jared)
EG Coin Tray
ITR Exhaust
N360 Fender Mirrors
N360 Taillights
Beat Stuff

Get Dax a nice little BEAT accessory :)

Yeah, if anyone wants to buy a bunch of crap in japan and save on shipping I might be able to help, or I might be able to source parts per request, I should have enough free time to spend a good afternoon or two in the junkyard and poking around, :)

full jdm b18c swap. if you can get that shipped to me you will be my hero.

How much is it worth, eh?

i know those rear seats for crx's sell for like $500 on ebay.

Yeah, that's def on the list, thanks for reminding me.

Maybe the JDM coin tray for my VX? It's a little plastic tray that goes where the dimmer usually sits in the dash on the 92-95 Civics in the US. I'm really only looking to spend about $5 on something like that.

Ohh wait... Get me a replica J's Racing intake, preferably a black ABS plastic one. I only need the tube, don't need the filter. According to Dynographs it shifts the HP and Torque Curve lower in RPMs and I want to test it out for FE.

They go for ~ $65 shipped on ebay for the knockoffs but if you can get one for a better price that would be awesome!

OEM Type-R Exhaust
 

It's probably cheaper to buy state-side (dunno),

...but I've decided to go with a stock Acura (or JDM Honda) Integra Type-R full header-back exhaust system, including the CAT. I may go with a Tri-Y/4-2-1 header to match it all up. The expectation from other 'Teg drivers is a free-flow design with an emphasis on low-end driveability/FE (from their tests) and it's quiet.

Oh, and the 2.2L iCDTi engine if you should happen to find one laying around... :D

RH77

I'll definitely be in touch so you can grab up some small Beat goodies for me! Will you still be posting on here while over there?

I'm sure I'll be posting, but not terribly much. Rick, that exhaust would be *** to ship and certainly expensive besides that...

i dont know, but i will give you 500 more than what you paid for it and shipping, if the prices are that much better.

now that i think i about it i would take a b18c or a b18b... i would end up turboing it in a couple years anyway...

Honda n360 parts!

Jared: Well hell, if they are that much cheaper, we'll see what we can do...need to learn some car vocabulary...

Matt: Just anything? I'm sure I could dig one up if I try hard enough...I feel like japanese junkyards must be the most fun places on earth.

I remember contacting a junkyard somewhere in Australia for CRX rear seats, but I never followed through. Couldn't justify it.

Yeah, the NZDM (New Zealand Domestic Market?) crxs also had them, :p

Actually, I can't think of exactly WHAT I'd want from a n360. Perhaps the taillights... can't think of anything else.

Unless you can ship the whole car to me :P

I poked around a bit and the 360 has a few fan clubs in japan...so yeah, :)

Are you kidding me? Get some fender mirrors!!!

Do YOU want some fender mirrors?

If you come across some, yes. :D

I'm planning on contacting the japanese n360 society in advance and setting up a meeting, seem like interesting people anyway. How much are these worth?

Actually, I'd take some of those too. they're awesome.

I have NO idea. Let me know if you find some though!

Thanks for resizing Matt!

jdm gauge clusters are all the rage on h-t, among the ricers anyway. :p

Updated the requests to waste time...anyone want anything not car related? I might try to buy my zoomer/ruckus there...

Idea.....

Get a whole mess of Japanese license plates in decent condition, ship back one big heavy package. Not sure whether you can get license plates at the junk yard or if they remove them prior to junking them.

My brother and I thought of doing this, I think that they go for like $30 a pop on H-T.

I'm sure they remove them, but it would nto be hard to track some down, I don't think? Hopefully some of this crap will finance my bike, and mehbe some electronics, :)

Oooo man, electronics.

Any run of the mill department store in Japan always has way cooler gadgets than you could ever get here in the states.

Go to Akihabara if you have a chance!

I will be in akihabara on the second day of the term (the day before classes start) to buy a dictionary. La la la.

I gto an old Canon Word Tank that I used the piss out of when I was in school and over seas.

Best money you will ever spend if you study Japanese.

I will be majoring in it, so that sounds like a good deal, :p

i am going to have to cancel that engine order... my car is dead

Oh no, :(

yup i got into an accident last friday and my wife doesnt want me to get another theif magnet

Yeah, I remember you telling me about the accident.

Eh, it's too bad. You could always get a scooter.
