Default Best place to import bits from Japan?

I used to use www.japanparts.com but they dont do many good bits for the S. Takakiara seem ok too.

So much of the stuff in the UK is a SERIOUS rip off for Honda bits, or I would use some of the UK companies Maybe not their fault but im sure theres a serious markup.

US sites are ok but lots of bits dont end up that cheap after import duty etc..

Some of the exhaust and intake parts are scandalous compared to prices im used to for the scoob.

Anyone know of any? Maybe some US group buys are needed!

Yeah, I've had good results from http://www.takakaira.com/
The only ones I tend to use nowadays.

Takakaira did a good job for me ..... managed to get me my seat rails to the UK in a couple of days.

DHL then took 5 days to get them the 30 miles from Luton to my home (delivered by taxi in the end cause they kept fcuking up)

You dont seem to be able to email them if you want a non listed part though? Unless you have an account, which means you need to order something!
