depends on if your looking for just body stuff, or aftermarket typer stuf, there is a chain of stores in the Tokyo area called Parts off, its like a Pawn shop for go fast stuff, I believe it is just off rt 16 in Tokyo. Have not been there in 2-3 yrs so you might have to contact Ranzo up there.

Great, is there anyone in the area that would/wants to go there too? Id would be cool to meet up with some other car people and talk cars and what not, I havent driven, much less riden in a car for way to long...... Will that showa place have a good selection of turbos? Im looking for sometihng that will work on maybe several different platforms if nessacary, mainly which would be good for an FD or a supra, doesnt have to make huge power, just better than stock, that way I could clear up some space in the engine bay. Thanks

also, i looked over that whole page and couldnt find any info about where its located

Guess I should clear things up about what i mean on a wide selection of turbos, Im looking for a good turbo to work with for a daily driven rx7, and if i can find a cheap 16g off an evo or someting that would be great too(for my tsi). Since im leaving japan in a month and a half, I figured i would see if i could find some parts before i leave. I sent showa an email, hopefully they respond, does anyone know how much shipping a box of car stuff by boat would cost me?? would it even be worth it? i could buy a whole **** load of stuff for my car for around 1,000 usd, if i could ship it back for less than 200 dollars, that would be a AWSOME.

Oh, and hurry up and find me some tokyo races

I need to check out the scene here before i leave......

I got a reply from showa, seems they are about 2 hours away from tokyo, I think i will go check it out though. So like I said, if anyone wants to take this long *** trip down there, or was planing to , let me know.
