Lantis Parts in Japan

[phly]

Hey guys, gonna be going Japan in a of weeks and looking forward to taking a break from work for a bit. But what i'm really looking forward to when I get to Japan is buying heaps of parts for my car hopefully, particularly Mazdaspeed bits LOL

Just wanted to find out if anyone knows where I should be going when I get there. Should I be looking for a Japanese Autobarn equivalent to get parts or are there other places. And any ideas on what I should get. I'm drawing up a list already

Work out what you want, and visit the manufacturers. Places like Autobacs, too. But realise that Lantis aren't really considered worth modifying over there anymore so you're not going to find anything Lantis-specific at any general parts places. And 99% of Mazdaspeed lantis parts have been discontinued. Also, japanese street numbers aren't sequential on the street - they were numbered as they were built, so 99 might be next to 2 and 547.

...have fun!
