I've just come across a dealer with quite a bit of kit for the VR-4, they are just setting up but are an HKS offcial dealer.

Very clear site but I hope they add prices soon, there is nothing more off putting than no prices!

These appear to be just RRP's - it says to call for their best price. Would be interesting to find out if they are any cheaper if someone has the time - maybe on a Super Drager ?

Hello there. The best sourse for parts for my VR-4 that I've found has been japanparts.com or Hummingbird Mitsubishi in Hendon INSERT INTO post VALUES (ask to speak to Mike). Japan parts primarily export to the USA, where automotive costs are generally cheaper INSERT INTO post VALUES (anso it's worth getting a quote. You need to take into account import tax and VAT on top of what they quote you, and then compare with the best price from the UK. So far, I've always found it cheaper. For HKS parts however, it's much closer to UK parts, but still cheaper, and you need to consider the effort to ship back parts that may be faulty. I haven't needed to do this so far. Generally, for cheaper parts, less than £50 say, I order in the UK from Hummingbird. The more expensive the part, the more worthwhile it is to order. I have ordered a throttle position sensor for example at at least two hundred pounds cheaper from Japanparts.com and it took a week to arrive after I ordered. In the end, I didn't need to change the throttle position sensor anyway. You win some, you lose some.
