Where in China are you going mate. I spent 6 months over there and i only spotted 1 wrx.
If you do manage to find anywhere that sells tuning goodies i dont think they will work out much cheaper than buying them here

Very true. I forgot to take my digital camera with me so i priced a few up while i was out there. All the ones i looked out turned out to be roughly the same price as in the uk, and that was with my chinese buddy bartering for me. It was the same with mobile phones

You won't find anything in China but if you go Hong Kong, then thats a different story. You can buy almost any jap parts you can think of.
And the price, is 3/4-1/2 cheaper than UK
