what to get from japan?

I work with this really cool japanese lady and she knows how much i love my car and she said that when she goes to japan next she will buy me somthing for my car. So it got me thinking what would you get from japan that she could bring back in her suitcase?

^^some porters(headers). its a rather small item that can easily be packed in a suitcase.

depends...what do you need? i'd go for any suspension item or a go-fast part that can be suitcased easily... maybe ignition wires? mazdaspeed bars? etc.

Back some time ago it was discussed.

For some reason the JDM will not work in our cars.

Maybe we should re-look at that. Do a search and you will find the thred that discusses the the JDM ECU

doh english version:

If you can get these for well below the 400 price corksports is asking.... maybe scosche and those other din kit company's will want in on the margin.

I think that they sell these little talismans at Japanese temples that you're supposed to hang from your rear view mirror for good luck.

That would be kind of sweet.
