Default Parents going to Japan, what pressies can they bring back for me?

My parents are going on holiday to Japan for 2 weeks, Of course for looking after their house and cat etc.. I will need some pretty hot gifts from Jap land. I was thinking of asking for an Ipod, an Apexi PFC ECU and maybe a few gauges. Any ideas if these things would be cheap out there, and would my parents be likley to find a place that sells Apexi ECU's, I've heard in Japan there are big shops like halfrords that sell all the tuning parts.

Also is there any new elecronincs that are good out threre??????????????????



thanks Alex

Does anyone here actually know anything usefull, or are you all here to slate me for being the rightfull Earl of Bristol and lord of the proverbial manor!

Surely an Apexi ECU has gotta be cheap over there?

If someonme tells me the right answer Ill bring them back any car they want*

Yup Cristal and Autobacs are the 2 big Halfords type stores. Only 20 times better.

But be aware that Japan is VERY expensive.

A mobile phone, if you can get one to work on our networks. They are 2 yrs ahead of us, I believe half of their phones have 5mp cameras already.

What Brendan said, I'd check to see if there is a way of getting them to work here and then get on the net and start choosing

An A'Pexi PowerFC will cost you ¥98,000 which is £487.50 at todays exchange rate. After all duties are paid youre looking at £630. Youd be better off paying Andy Forrest £750 to supply, fit and map one.....
