My friend in the military is going to Youngsan, Seoul, South Korea next week. I am curious to find out if anyone knows of any car parts stores located in that area?
Also, am i really going to get better deals on parts there, than here in the states?

any advice would be AWESOME! thaks in advance-

 

i don't think there is cheap parts store there...

 

none that i know of.. but i do know there is a s2k owner on this forum somewhere that lives there. he might be able to help you out. other than that.. fly to japan or even swim there to get some parts

edit* found him. his id is jwkim. pm him and ask him

 

I have jwkim's shop install some of my stuff, but it is cheaper for me to order from the US than for him to get the parts.

In Korea it is illegal to modify your car at all. I mean changing the wheels is illegal. Now, how often they enforce that law is probably never.

The tariffs on importing any parts here is really high. You can't get cheap anything here.

Have him drop me a line. I work at Yongsan.

 

damn have you ever been stopped when they see that MG hood?

 

that crazy that we can actually get things cheaper here in the states than in Korea! Now if we're talking about Japan, thats probabley another story-right?

 

Parts should be more expensive in Korea, but the labor will be cheaper than US.

Japan is a 2hr flight away.
go to Japan.

Korea won't have cheaper parts, for sure.
I was born there, lol.

 

Just remember... Korea = not JDM
lol

 

I buy my stuff online from the States and have it mailed here to Korea. I work in Yongsan, Seoul and in another really small base near it. I met a few friends over in Japan and they also said that they buy their stuff from the states cuz its cheaper. But yeah, installing stuff over here is cheap
