Hey Guys,

Here is a great website for ordering parts directly from Japan. They are all genuine and rather quite cheap especially for bushes and gaskets.

The website is http://www.amayama.com it allows you to put in any Mitsubishi number that you know of and it will give you prices in different currencies and the different countries that have stock. Australia sometimes has stock for items which break often like gaskets, bushes and bearings. The postage time from Japan always takes less than 10 days often around 8-9. The packages are sent from Peakhurst, NSW in an express post envelope to wherever you are.
I got front and rear brake rebuild kits for $16 each... That's less than half of the price Mitsubishi Australia wants.
Here is an example of one order that i have recently received, these are the rear upper diff bushings.
"SILENTBLOCK Mitsubishi MB844818 2 items 19.26 AUD Total: 38.52 AUD Delivery: 27.17 AUD"
This should give you an idea of how much postage is roughly. The most I have ever been charged for smaller things is ~$25. A mate wanted an air locker for his hilux which weighs approx 4kgs and the postage was a total of $57 which is reasonable.

Also for people that don't have CAPS or ASA, i have found a good website that is albeit in Russian but shows great exploded diagrams.
http://www.megazip.r...ubishi/tech/278 That link is for all (or at least most) Evo and other lancer models. You select the one that you like and it will show you all the parts that are related to the thing such as engine or fuel systems.
You then read off the number that is on the picture and match it to the list on the right hand side and wah lah you get the Mitsubishi part number.
Another website that Amayama owns that gives you the part numbers too but doesn't show you pictures is:
http://mitsubishi.epc-data.com and for the purposes of my demonstration http://mitsubishi.ep...l-brake/199524/ is the link to the brake rebuild kit.

I have never tried ordering from UAE and it says there is a possible delay of 35% whereas Japan only has a possible delay of 5%.

Cheers,
Dimitry

for sure, this is a great site to use for mitsu bits, parts that mitsu oz say not available can still come from here

I was after a drive shaft circlip for a rear viscous lsd. Called my local mitsu dealer and they said no stock in all of australia and i would have to wait 6 weeks. Went on amayama and got the circlip in ~10 days!
