just deleted my post, i didnt notice that he already came back.

anyway sinc ei already bumped the thread i accident i mite as well give advice to ne1 who wants to go and get car parts. aside from junkyards, get the magazine GOO PARTS. they hav pretty good deals on used equip and new stuff. and its pretty strait forward if u cant understand japanese altho u need a car to go just about any racing shops in japan.
i find cheaper stuff on BBS but i think if u dont speak japanese its impossible , if u can than go for it tho .

if you're going to japan, you dont want to buy BBS crap. they have so much other tite shit. damn, i wish i coulda stayed a few more days but its ok
harajuku is like, where crazy fashion happens in japan
advice. there is no car shit in the city, you gotta goto the country
junk yards in japan are not like the places in japan from what ive been told, basically, its you goto a "junk yard", and you tell em what you need, and they will either source it for you, or maybe they'll have it in stock. japans too small to have a pick-n-pull.

I'm 99.99932431234123% sure he's referring to japanese bulletin board systems (BBSs), and not the wheel manufacturer BBS.
