I'm near the Shinagawa train station, and I'll have next thursday morning to spend around, probably looking after some technology stuff in Akihabara, or EVO accessories in a Mitsu dealer or something.
Can somebody suggest some small specific item or accessory for the EVO that I can buy here and take to the US?
Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

 

pick up some jdm antennas. and then pm me when you get back

 

buy a rear bumper and pm me when you get back jk

 

+1 (and im not kidding )

 

Go to Superautobacs in Shinonome. Lots of stuff there. You can take the subway to Toyosu Station and Cab it from there. If you check the subway map it is the 2nd to the last stop on the Yurakucho line before tatsumi.

check this website and have you Hotel staff order for you and deliver to your hotel room.

this is what I did last August when I was there, or just ask the hotel staff what the address of Ralliart or Mitsubishi is in Tokyo.


I got myself this jacket

 

Thanks for the suggestions and details!!!

Tomorrow's the day!

 

Hey - I'm going to be doing exactly the same thing in two weeks! Would be very interested to hear how you get on, and any suggestions that you might come back with!

 

pick me up a skyline. I'll pay you back later...

actually, b/c of how expensive and rare it is here, any Ralliart equipment you can shove in your luggage...

or a Tomei stroker kit...lol

 

I'm wondering how much would be the 'excess baggage' taking that EVO IX rear bumper cover and the GTR with my luggage...

I'll report by Friday how was everything.

 

Tokyo report.

I couldn't purchase accessories / parts because most shops don't open as early as I was expecting, and my bus to Narita airport left 1:00 PM, I had to go back to the hotel, pack & check-out, etc.
But I have to say this was an AMAZING experience, since I spent quite some time visiting and taking pictures of JDM EVOs at Mitsubishi Motors' Head Quarters, and the place was just awesome!
The address is:
2-16-4 Konan Minato-ku Tokyo 108-8410, Japan

That's right near the Shinagawa train station, and I walked from my hotel, the Le Meridien Pacific Tokyo.

They had 2 GSRs in silver and yellow, one more in white with the body split from the 'chassis' and lifted some 5 feet, so the engine, 6-sp trans and rear-end were at plain sight, with turbo, engine cover, driver's door and AYC cut-aways for easy visibility of their insides.
They had the new EVO wagons as well, with a silver GT (just like a MR-edition), and a blue GT-A, with the "A" standing for automatic...!. The black Ralliart Wagon was there as well, with awesome carbon-kevlar reclinable bucket seats.
Fracois Delecour's rally car was there as well, although this wasn't the current WRC vehicle. Finally, Ralliart had a nice exhibition of accessories and parts, although they didn't sell any...

I'm trying to find a way to post the 96 pictures I took, which are in a very high resolution, and show some really good details of the JDM EVO, but don't know where/how without shrinking them a lot (what I mean is, they're in a really nice res, and I wouldn't like to shrink them down and loose all the details...)

Later,
Fede.

 

Nice that would be a nice trip some day!

 

looked like fun

 

It was a lot of fun indeed...!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and data.
I've attached the photos in another post here:
Tokyo Mitsubishi Motors showroom

Later,

 

wow, talk about a flagship car...all Evo's all the time..sweet
