    This situation does come up, but I can tell you from personal experience that it's almost always an accident based on assumption rather than an attempt to rip people off. There are a lot of popular parts that sell for more than the new retail price simply because no one bothered asking.

    Type X 180SX tail lights, a lot of RWD 4AGE parts, disc brake handbrake cables etc etc.

    I sell shit and I tell you its not worth doing it if your gonna ask for japanese prices. Im down in money and i dont think ive made it back yet. sure theres always cheap shit you can buy, but if you dont want any problems then you need to spend the right money to do it right the first time.

    depending on what engine youre running you might want them, to make room for your intake set up.

    i dont use air filters on my engines, so the adm ones work for me. if you did a jdm loom swap you would want them though kinda too.

    some people want them just for JDM points.

    Wrong, you're shooting blanks...
    I know a guy that works for Toyota in Japan through whom I bought many OEM parts and he told me that in the last 6 months almost ten years worth of OEM parts have been sold almost depleting the stock entirely..

    And I know about having fun in cars that's why I own an evo to thrash around in but hey I will support you killing your 86 cos that will be another wanker not owning one..

    well good for toyota. its still been 25 years and countless thousands of 86's worldwide. a figurative 10 years of parts is probably a sales percentage gathered over a period of the better part of 2 decades to them, which in reality depending on previous sales figures on ONLY 86 parts, could mean 5 parts, or 20,000. hearsay is horseshit. having a 'guy at toyota japan' doesn't mean anything.

    and whats so different about me thrashing an 86 and you thrashing an evo?

    nothing. at all. infact, i'd rather thrash an 86 cause a shell will only cost >$1000 as opposed to your evo6, which would be 3X that.... i realize that i'm not gonna live forever, so im out having fun as opposed to just leaving it hard parked in the garage with eleventy billion bucks of JDM wish wash piled into it which i'm going to have a hard time selling, which is what you're obviously insinuating i should do. so what do i give a shit about preserving something thats only going to inevitably be a rusted out bucket in 10 years?

    but hey, whatever man. im just a wanker thats in it for the wrong reasons.
