Dear members,


Where do you get your parts ( especially tuning parts hardware ) in the Netherlands ?

Beste regards

Jos,

Uhm, specifically for the Hachi? No such luck I'm afraid. You can get the run of the mill stuff at any tuning shop but specialized stuff for the hachi, nearest is the UK and Ireland where there are one or two shops but for the real stuff you have to go shopping in the US or in Japan or keep a keep eye on the sell section of this board...

There are one or two tuning shops with expertise on hachi's though, DBM engineering is one that recently did a pretty nice rebuild and upgrade for RoboKill on this forum.

You order them directly from the big shops in the states or from foum vendors that are known to be good. The average level of tuningshops in Holland is terrible and deliverytimes are longer then what you'll get when you order the stuff yourself from the supplier..Prices turn out exactly the same as they(tuningshops) save some money on shipping (use container that needs to be filled, hence the waiting time), but then bump up the price to make a profit.

Allmost no shop here keeps anything but honda stuff in stock! A friend of mine just ordered some tein SS's here in NL...waited for 2 months and payed over 200$ more the list price in the US...Ordering them direct would have cost 50$ less and would have resulted in the part lying on his desk 2 weeks one month earlier.
