I've seen quite a few posts where people recommend buying OEM parts from the USA at great prices but the only one I've really found good prices on was http://www.hondapartsnow.com who don't ship outside the USA.

I saw a post by @Froidas recommending http://www.japancars.ru who have some really good prices as well, however I have pending orders with them where parts seem to randomly get 'refused' due to stock levels or price changes apparently and it can take 1-2 weeks for parts to be 'refused' so you need to re-order from another of their suppliers and hope that doesn't get refused as well...

So I wanted to find out where people recommend buying OEM Honda parts from reliably at a good price. Does anyone buy from the USA and arrange their own courier or have contacts over there who post it to UK/Europe?


Best options I have found:

H-Tune.co.uk - Can get great prices by importing from the USA. E-mail Scott @ H-Tune.co.uk with part requests.
Will take a few weeks to arrive.

Honda UK (inc. LingsHondaParts) - Reliable and quick but often extortionately expensive.
Possible discounts if you know someone in the trade.

www.HondaPartsNow.com - Great prices and website but they don't ship outside the USA.
(Arrange middleman courier?)

www.JapanCars.ru - Great prices and website but slow to confirm stock and unreliable stock levels, often taking 1-2 weeks before 'refusing' parts of your order, forcing you to re-order from another of their suppliers. I did eventually receive parts 7-8 weeks after my original order and saved a lot of money on UK prices.

www.CoxMotorParts.co.uk - Good for consumables.


Recommendations please?

These guys are quite good on some stuff.

Yeah I've used them before and was impressed but they only sell consumables unfortunately. Will add them to the list anyway!

I have used Vtec Direct and Sim Auto Parts in the past, both very good prices on OEM Honda parts.

And then there's Scott@H-Tune, but you're better off emailing him. They have a sister company in the States, so regularly have shipments coming in.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, duly bookmarked as they look like good suppliers for aftermarket parts but I am mainly concerned with suppliers for certain OEM parts like the PS reservoir, Lost Motion Assemblies and the odd bit of bodywork or interior trim to name a few.

I think it's in here somewhere where Scott put up a list of the most popular Honda Prelude OEM parts with prices.

Basically give him a part number and he'll get you a price.

Taken from the thread you posted a link to:

do you do cheaper OEM parts?


Yeah, We buy them from a USA dealer and can offer good discounts, Its not the quickest service though. Takes 2-3 weeks from ordering to delivery. So if you need something best enquire quite early.

We dont ship over awkward things such as long / very bulky, but most other things are ok.

We're also WAAAYY cheaper as lings.

Perfect! I will give Scott @ H-Tune.co.uk a shout as this sounds very promising. If I manage to get the parts I'm after then the beers are on me!

As said, you're best off emailing him at scott@h-tune.co.uk

PS. That Crocodile Dundee mix on page 5 of the thread had me in stitches! Keep running into random videos you have posted on old threads!
