Default what we need

I think it's time we found a PNW company/business that is willing and ready to order parts from Japan. I've called several sources that I found on the internet, but have had the same results as far as not replying to e-mails or not returning phone calls. I don't know about you, but when payment for a part is due upfront, I'm not willing to send large amounts of cash to someone who won't return phone calls and emails on something as simple as offering business to them.

For myself, I'm not talking used parts, I'm talking ordering JDM aftermarket car parts.


Does anyone have a idea'r of a PNW business that we can walk into (as a scion community) and get this going?

As far as engine componets there is a place in Lynnwood (behind Acura of Lynnwood), called Foreign Engines Inc. http://www.foreignenginesinc.com/, other than that I just use the classifieds ! Seriously though it costs a lot of money to import the items, and most businesses try to fill a container before they ship (just good business to save on costs), but I do a greee that it would be sweet! Unfortunatley for us the JDM honda thing is still big and more people are more likely buying honda stuff than bB items. I agree though...maybe Speed Concept in Aloha?

I have connections in Japan and here. I am working with someone to start importing parts, the issue we are dealing with is the cost to ship things over because we don't have enough for a container. PM me with some ideas of things you want and that might get the ball rolling. We are working on a smaller order so again just let me know and I can find out costing and go from there...

i like r32s a little better, the ability to switch from awd to rwd is a big plus but it is an older car..

I've been waiting forever to et my Rays center caps for my wheels. The shop out here just keeps saying, "They should be here any day."
