Going to the Philippines in a few weeks, anyone know of any shops?
Hey everyone,
im going on a vacation to the philippines in a few weaks, does anyone know of any shops there? I know Japan is kidna close by, so i would think they would probably have some shops there that carry parts. Parts that are hopefully cheaper too.
thanks

if you are looking for suby parts... there's more parts here... for the simple fact that there is more customers here than they do there.
if they do have something there it will be priced according to supply/demand... since they don't sell a lot they will charge more i would think
when u leaving... i'll be there on the 18th of dec.

not 100% sure about that, but i'm pretty sure that would be the case.

when coming back, you're entitled to one (75lbs. max) big box as luggage in addition to your suitcases and carry-ons. think around the size of a balikbayan box. you could definitely use this service to "import" yourself a set of wheels (or two).

You guys know all the places where you can get the "extra" goodies.
Anyway, with regards to parts. Unfortunately, Subaru was only officialy imported into the Philippines form a short period of time between in 97 and again in 2003. They say that they will again officialy import them in 06. So not much parts available for them here. I've had 4 Subarus here (97 Legacy GT-Bilstein, 95 WRX STI RA, 03 WRX, 05 STI USDM. All my mods either came from Japan or the States.
Now, if you were looking for Honda parts and even Evo stuff, then you can get those here.
