I have bought some stuff from zoom engineering before and drop head.

Both offered great service and products were delivered quickly.

Experiences of other JDM tuners would be appreciated so I can find out who in Japan can be easily dealt with.

RS Aizawa are pretty easy to deal with, and can get you most stuff, so you don't need to go hunting around all the other dealers.

There's a proper English language website shop being put together here:
http://www.rsaizawa.com/

I think he's looking for more US distributors :wink:

 

[madaboutMX5s]

Thanks for the information.

Be good if we can share experiences from buying from suppliers in Japan.

It help us find the best people to deal with. The guy a drop head delivered the KG Works part I wanted within 4 days of payment (including a weekend), which I thought was very good.

www.mx5roadsters.com has also built up a fair few contacts over there.

This is a great idea.

I've dealt with Koga-San in the past and have gotten excellent service! Quick response to email.

KGWorks has never replied to any email I sent, good to hear I can deal with Drop Head for that.

Any other experiences? Anyone dealt with West Yokohama?

Can this be made a sticky? Otherwise its going to rapidly disappear in a sea of unsorted links :?

one of the local club guys runs mx5mart ... basically a JDM wreckers, and he has the odd (new) product commissioned also. He ships stuff overseas too. (no affiliation etc)

eg Maxim headers anyone?

Toshitaka Masugata at Drophead is very helpful and can obtain virtally everything available in Japan - hereplies to emails promptly in English and gets parts delivered very quickly ... I would highly recommend

Handy list here (for those without a Hype Rev):

[freedomgli]

That's a pretty short list! If you just back up one level of the forum you'll find a much more comprehensive list of Japanese "tuning" companies.

My bad, just getting into my own Roadster Hyper Rev here.

Can anyone recommend a good JDM Tuner shop to order from online with an english website? Drophead's site's in Japanese...stretching my Google Translate abilities a little (but thanks for the tips above).

Looking at Rev9 for a bunch of stuff, but I happen to live closer to Japan - so thinking to go bona fide JDM for heavy stuff like, um, wheels.

 

[turbomx5]

I ordered my short console directly from Barchetta. Very easy to deal with and incredibly fast shipping time. I think I had the part from Japan in about 1 week.

 

[cnd_eunos]

[landwomble]

I'd like to know this as well as I just moved to Osaka. I guess I'm just being lazy and should search myself but if anyone knows of any good shops near Osaka or Kyoto any information would be greatly appreciated!
