Parts I Have to Buy Now (While in Japan)

Hello guys. quick questions. What are the parts I have to buy now here in Japan while I'm here before I go back to the States and where can I buy them? All I know so far are apex seals. That's about it so far. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance.

What?

What parts do you NEED? And apex seals can be bought here. With a few exceptions limited to small tuner aftermarket 'niche' stuff, there's nothing you can't readily get here in the U.S. Recommendations? Don't buy anything.

easier said than done... all of that is getting swept up in the auctions to throw on all of the 92's getting shipped out by the month.

not the market it seems.

Despite what common sense would say about the place
where the car was made and sold, and it being part
heavy. That does not seem to be the case! Unless
you are fluent in the language you will probably have
better luck on the internet or in a local rotary hot-spot.


If you find the opposite to be true, please let me know!

Right!?!? You think that with the influx of RX-7s in the city that the market would be a little than what it is. I wish the local tuners would be a little more knowledgable on rotaries.

I have a '92. I don't know what model it is because of all the modifications it has but its a five speed with air con and no sun roof. I already have the '99 spec tails.
