friend in japan will bring me back parts (what to get?)
i have a friend in the marines who is stationed in japan but will be returning to the US next month. he said he would buy me parts in japan before he comes back. what parts should i get for my EP3? i was thinking of:
CTR/ITR intake manifold
CTR/ITR cylinder head
CTR/ITR throttle body
and maybe the CTR projector headlights and taillights.
how much do you think these parts cost in japan? i know the IM goes for around 300 in the US... i'd love to get my hands on that cylinder head!

Projectors will be useless , because they are RHD platform.
Intake manifold and throttle body won't do anything on a3.
Maybe couple taillights if he can get them cheap..
New oem type r taillights only go $200 new in us. So maybe he could get couple of those from japan junkyard for $50-75.
