Ok so going to Shanghai...

So I am going to Shanghai, China and am curious to know what you people would suggest for me to get for my MCS. I am curious to hear what people have to say, if you have a link to a photo that would help as well.
Thanks

I am not sure what you're asking...

Are you wondering how much we think you can sell your MCS for?

Please elaborate, so we can help you with your question a bit more easily.

Any chance you can track down one of those pink engine dampeners for me? Haha its worht a shot. I dont know what kinda cool stuff they have over there. But if you come across carbon Fiber door handles and gas gap cover man I would LOVE to have a set... thats just me though. Bigger things can be a bit tough to get over back to the USA so things like headers and exhausts I wouldnt suggest shoppin for over there...

He is asking for us to compile his shopping list for his MCS while he is over there. They have a lot of goodies when it comes to car parts that they have over there that we can't get over here in the US. The Japanese Domestic Market has tons of stuff the US Market doesnt.

You'll have great fun in Shanghai... it's an awesome city...

Make sure you check out some of the local markets for wares (esp. replica watches that are so well done that even jewelers will look twice)!

Some of the monasteries in the city are flat out spectacular - and Old Town is a great place to spend an evening!

I was in Shanghai 2 years ago. Make sure you hit the big flea market (Can't remember the actual name) Stuff was really cheap. Everything is cheap and the knock off items are almost free Just remember you can bargin everything.

Not just "you can bargain everything", you are expected to bargain on everything

Get lots of Polos! They are cheap, and look REAL! When I was in China, I think I brought home about 20 of them.


Pirated DVDs are huge there too...it obviously is illegal though, but I am not going to lie, I certainly bought a few while I was there. Generally you can find any movie you want for less than a dollar .

the mini aftermarket there isn't too big yet... hk and japan are better bets at finding good aftermarket parts

all i can say is that in a place where i can find WORK CP035 wheels for about 150 US each..... yet M7 Strut tower plates are about 250 US each.... better bet to find japanese parts
