u would not believe this

ITS CHEAPER to BUY JAPANESE PARTS in SINGAPORE than in JAPAN.

I had been looking at Exhaust, Bodykit, Suspension and etc its either around 10% cheaper in Japan or in most Cases its cheaper in Singapore.
And most of the cases on products that I need the warranty or eg. electronics , suspension parts. I would pay the extra to buy it in Singapore.

Most important of all Rx8 Parts has to be order in advance cos most of the shops does not keep stocks. There's really not that much Rx8 on Japan Road, and so its really not worth for shops to keep stocks.

Believe me dont waste time. I fly to Japan at least almost every mth cos the shops do not keep stocks for Rx8, u would need to order at least 1-2weeks before collecting. and sometime its even cheaper to buy in Singapore.

Furthur more u are only given a max 25kg if u fly Economy and 40kg if u fly business class. so unless your backs and car parts are below the allowable weights, u are in for a big surprise for the extra charges.
