I've heard alot of people talk about going to Japan but no one brings back anything. I wanna see pics!!. You could probably mail back larger parts and take smaller parts on the plane. Enjoy the streets there cause that's where the REAL tuner scene is. Stuff I saw in 94-97 was just hitting the streets in 2000 here in the US.

I'm pretty sure everything in Japan is more expensive than here, especially the electronics. You might be better off getting whatever you need here.

I was in Japan for 13 months...loved every minute of it. Stuff is wayyyyy cheaper over there than it is here. I bought a component Kenwood system for my house that didn't come out here until 3 years later. So I'd take advantage of the opportunity that you have going over there......
