bman Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'm headed to Hong Kong in a few months and wanted to know if anyone knew of a good place to pick up some LGT pieces: eyelines, lights, etc. Basically, anything I can fit into my suitcase...along with my clothes.

DiscoWagon Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Theres a pretty big shop named Top Speed (iirc). They have some pretty sick cars, make sure you go to the main shop where they have a showroom. Since youll be there for a while, you could probably order some pretty sick JDM parts.

goBlue Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Where's Top Speed located? If you go to a smaller store, make sure you speak perfect Cantonese or they'll rip you off. If you speak English, they'll rip you off big time because over there they think all English speakers are rich. I wonder where the HK tuners usually shop.

HK was a British colony for over 100 years, it was pretty Westernized last time I was there. back to topic, any stores we MUST visit when traveling to HK?

bman Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 DiscoWagon, thanks for the reference. I'll see if I can find a street for Top Speed. I need addresses people! I can imagine myself now wondering around Kowloon asking random people, "Do you know where I can buy car parts?" I'll already get funny looks wearing shorts in October! goBlue your *absolutely* right. My Cantonese is rough and I bought a video camera a couple of years ago right in TST and I was ripped off big time. Example: all of the instructions were in Japanese! poopy, I don't plan on eating dog but, my brother did take a train into China (yeah, I know HK is China now....) and my dad played a joke on him at dinner and they had dog. Oh well... Yes, my brother is still alive. ...back to the point addresses (or at least store names!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserpro2 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 erm, can't really remember if there is a shop name called Top Speed in HK, but for sure Top Racing is definately in hk. i think there's one in Kowloon bay. monkok should be the place to go as someone mentioned above. there's also a shop called SPS in HK. they are like a sort of must visit for being the shop with the most and are notorious for importing many exotica into HK including: Mclaren F1 Pagani Zonda F, and possibly C12 S Porsche Carerra GT1 Race Car F430 GT CLK DTM and GTR If you are lucky, you might see S14 with S15 headlights, RX7 with CF hood, C-west front bumper + GT spoiler, Tuned Supras, TONES of Skyline 25GT/GTT/GTS...these are the JDM rides. european rides you will see them anywhere like Merc S/E class, Beemer M5 if lucky, tones of M3s and M3 wannabes. Top Racing HK website: (unfortunately in chinese) http://www.topracing.com.hk/html/front/index.html SPS automotive HK website: (in english) http://www.sps-automotive.com/en_sps/sps_main.htm and you can't eat dog in HK. it's illegal - should be. but if you go to china, you will find the shops.

DiscoWagon Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 bman: My suggestion to you is to go to a convenient store, pickup an HK issue of Option Magazine. Look at the ads and find the shops that you want to go, show the taxi driver the address and BAM! That's what I did last summer and I found a ton of shops, Top Speed was just one of the better shops with items in stock since I was there for only a week and couldnt special order anything. I don't know about getting ripped off for the poor execution of the Chinese language but I've always had people accompanying me. But then again, I consider my Mandarin pretty decent for being an ABC (American Born Chinese for those of you who don't know). Good luck in your findings and maybe you can bring me some parts back!

DiscoWagon Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Oh another thing, you cant just ask random people where to buy car parts, they might think you need OEM parts to fix a broken car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goBlue Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 but i guess you can get around good enough with English negative, that's a rather wishful thinking. i'm guessing you're Chinese since you live in Alhambra? haha, you should know better, at least you won't get the best deals with English. btw, thanks for all the useful info!

bman Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 It looks like all of the sites only showcase the Impreza. It doesn't look like any of them have any examples of modded Legacy. Does that mean no one in HK owns one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goBlue Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 i'm sure most stores carry parts for the Legacy...probably not as many as for the Impreza though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
