Hey guys and girls, Me and the mrs are going to Japan in January through to the end of February next year. We have researched and got 90% of the trip planned. There is just a few car related things Im struggling to find info on. We are going to; Tokyo - Osaka/Kyoto - Sapporo (winter Festival) - Tokyo again- Home I have all the info on the tourist type automotive attractions ie; superbacs, megaweb, history garage ect but cant find info on the following- 1- Wreckers/ 2nd hard parts/ part for old school cars- I have a Ta22 Celica and a 120Y Datsun so while im there i want to try to find some hard to find parts to bring back. Things like GT vents, chin lips, ducktail spoilers, flares anything really, Is there any good places to look for these things? 2- Classic Japanese cars- I know Bikoworks is one of the best places to see some classics, but is there anywhere else? 3- Wheels (Old school) Is there any shops that specialize in old school Japanese wheels? Ie SSR mk1/2/3s, Starsharks, Star formulas ect ect I normally Buy off yahoo.jp and have them sent over, but figured id buy some while im there and save spending money on the middle man. 4- Events Is there any car related events on from Jan 23rd - end of Feb? if so where can i find info on them? If theres anything else people recommend doing feel free to share And thats in advance for any help! Steven
