Finding car parts in KL

[finding_nismo]

Hey,

I will be travelling to KL in a few weeks and would like some recommendations on where to go for car parts around Berjaya Times Square. Looking for any kind of parts (performance/ looks) and in car entertainment. I own a Mitsubishi Evolution VII if that helps.

Thanks,

James

what kind of car parts you are looking for?as in chop shop parts,used part,new parts, etc....

New parts. Can be from performance mods, wheel nuts, speakers/ amplifiers, gear knobs, air fresheners all those sorts of things. Nothing too big as I have to bring them back to Sydney.

 

[kazukimy]

then either you need to head to Sunway business park(where most car tuner/shops are located) or maybe some other forrumer here can guide you specifically where to get Evo's parts...

Also any particular stores to go look at?

 

[kazukimy]

Hey mate,

Heh, car stuff is rather expensive in OZ, for no apparent reason. Alpine and Pioneer stuff costs an arm and leg there, and over here its cheaper.

Sunway - Google Maps

You'll find a lot of performance workshops in that area, that's the Sunway area kazukimy spoke of. notable ones for your Evo would be N1 Racing, which is roughly where the map is centered, and in the vicinity and walking distance is GT Auto - they have the fastest Malaysian Evo I believe, another gold mine for Evo parts. On the same road front of N1 Racing, further up you'll find Kakimoto, they have MOMO and other smaller accessories and stuff.

For audio I think there's a shop opposite N1 Racing, though not notable. EA Autoworks has a better selection
EA Autoworks Taman Esplanade Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur - Google Maps

I recommend that you google EA Autoworks up, they should have a Facebook page, you could probably get a quote for the stuff you're interested in beforehand.

Make sure you bring cold hard cash, cause by paying cash you get a cash discount. Also, to ensure that you don't get ripped off I suggest you try searching the Marketplace in this forums so you have a good idea of how much the stuff costs. Over here you can negotiate the price a little.

Yes parts over here in OZ is expensive. Most of us guys here get parts shipped from Japan and the US, even with a high postage price it still ends up cheaper than buying locally.

Thanks alot for your help guys, very much appreciated!

For Cash & Carry Audio sets, can check out Brothers in Kelana Jaya also.

Cool! Thanks vr2turbo :)

I just went through the Brothers website and they have lots of no name brands or brands I have nver heard of over here in OZ. Is there any brand to stay away from?

Also are there other stores like the Brothers store but stock more brand names like Pioneer for example?

Thank you!

 

[kazukimy]

stay out from those brand that had chinese name on it, or it pronounce weirdly,lolzzzz

They sell branded audio sets also. In their web I still see Kenwood, JVC, Sony and Panasonic. These are all Japanese Brands.....
Apexi and their own Brothers brand are from China....

Other places you can go to are Accessories shops that are located all over town. Brothers HQ is like a hypermarket for Accessories since you are asking for a place to shop these items.....

Do you know if they are negotiable on prices or are they set on their prices?

They list 3 stores in KL on their website. Do you know which is the biggest store? Would like to get the most out of my trip as I haven't been back in about 10yrs.

I'm staying at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel if that helps.

Accessories shop can negotiate prices but I think they are higher priced as usually they want to do the installation too. Since you want to cash & carry, better you go to Brothers which concept is Hypermarket type, where you just buy. Their Ampang branch is the biggest if not mistaken, then their HQ in Kelana Jaya. If staying in KL might as well go to Ampang one and I think their prices are fixed....

They have branded stuffs too, that is how they are able to draw customers to their shop, then people buy their China stuffs because of cheap pricing......

Does anyone know if "Kens Racing Shop" or "Under Five Performance" is still in business? I tried finding a website but had no luck with either. Both are being listed as distributors on the AEM website. Was hoping to buy an AEM wideband failsafe gauge while visiting in 2 days time.
