Best deal you got for stuff for your car?

[NismoGear5]

I am in vacation in Kochi, Japan. Not very populated.

People here in Japan usually just dump their cars off the side of the roads when they cant fix them or cant pay for shaken.(japanese car inspection, very expensive) Any car dumped on the side of the road is game for anyone. Take what you want.

So today I saw a clean S13 off the side of the road with no plates or anything, it was abandoned. I checked the motor and its a Qs model so nothing much to take from there. So I proceded to take the whole front end(panels) with the help of my soon to be father in law. hahaha Best deal of the century. Free silvia conversion, along with broadway mirror, power folding mirror, sunvisors, silvia steering wheel, razo pedals and shift knob, and some good luck charm hanging from the mirror. Smile on my face was priceless <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> I love this place!!

I also got some a nice set of Work ewing mesh wheels from up garage last week. 16 inch, with 2 inch lip For only $90 hahaha I shipped it already, should be in L.A in 3 weeks.

Only problem is shipping, but I got money to do that. Would anyone else like to share their best deal on car stuff?

Some of the deals that I had were........I got a CA18DET engine for 50 bucks, and I got a lancer intercooler for another 50 bucks. &nbsp;My 17" longchamps xr-5 wheels were free. &nbsp;My cousin had really good deal once. &nbsp;He got a 180sx with tein coilovers, 17" inch rims(the ones he gave me), clarion cd player, with a HKS cat back exhaust with an RSR downpipe for 40,000 yen(about 400 bucks)

[SR20DET S14]

my 95 240 for $2000....

[junia]

If you're in Japan, just hang out at the shops that they have out there and put out the word that you're looking for cheap s13 or parts car and you'll usually find a good deal. &nbsp;Theres always someone parting out there cars for cheap. &nbsp;You have to be careful sometimes though because you'll find a used part for a pretty decent price to find out that its not that much cheaper than a brand new one so do some researching.
