what should i ask for from HK?

So my pops is going to HK in 2 weeks, and he said i could make him a shopping list and he'll see if he can find it. Already i was thinking of having him get me a Defi BF series boost gauge. What else should i have him get me? And no i cant have him bring back rims and fenders and body kits etc. But what else is small and probably cheaper to get there than to get here? And where is a good place i can have him check out? because he'll be in the kowloon area, so anyone here familiar with HK enough that i can have my dad find stuff i need? Thanks guys.

also, on a similar but differnt topic. I wanted to install the defi bf series boost gauge. but im a noob. can anyone tell me what exact "parts" i would need. I believe i need the gauge, and the controller. Shoot im so noob i dont even know the technical names for these things. Sorry. Flame me, but be nice.

as I recall, parts arent significantly cheaper in hk than here. maybe i'm not going to the right places, but the volk rims i looked at are comparable to what gruppe-s was offering. the only thing you save would be tax...but decals and emblems are cheap tho

What's with fizay's constant anti-Asian ragging?

Emblems and decals are cheaper over there, as are semi-useful gadgets like lightbulbs and stuff. There's also an official Sparco retail shop in Mong Kok that has a flame retardant SWRT jacket for about USD$250.

You can also ask for "Northern Mushroom Chickens" as well

hahaha no no, i'll save the mushroom chickens for when i go. and also, i cant have him bring back rims, because, thats just not practical. besides gauges and emblems, what else would you recommend? im not too keen on stickers. i dont trust the sticker horsepower. =P

also, that looks like it'd be a good website, but i dont know how to read chinese. darn.

Well if you're gonna pick up gauges, you might wanna have him find the zero/sports gauge pod. Its the only one i know that preserves the clock

I think we would like to have some Genuine Southern small province HK Spicy and Inchy Groung Don Chickens instead. Northern Mushroom Chickens are not fresh.
