Rezz

Ikeri, thanks so much for helping me with the number plate bracket!!! By the way, I took some pictures of your AE86, can I post them up here?

Awesome shots as usual Dave Those mini-avalanches look a bit scary though!

Dave it's the same for us Aussies... hand over your Aussie Drivers license, application form and passport photo, and get handed back a Japanese one (after an excrutiaing 3 - 4 hour wait). I wouldn't say there was heaps of red tape...

Apita shopping center??? Now I KNOW your gf is in the country...

They're there... keep looking grasshumper... I mean grasshopper

Mmmmm... the aero parts at least are "order made", meaning you order it then they make it. Having said that they're hideously overpriced! Those aero parts are just half spoilers and lip spoilers, but they're at "full-bumper" prices... the hassle of owning a not-so-popular car. The coil overs are about double the price of new Tein or JIC coil overs, but they are Ohlins... top shelf stuff. Even the muffler looks pretty ordinary but it's approaching the price of some of the cheaper Titanium mufflers. You might be better of making mods to an Apex N1 (or whatever) muffler to fit your car? In fact the only commonplace (read: cheaper) parts that you really can't make to fit your car would be the coil overs but at 348,000 yen (A$4,360) without shipping, you could probably ring up Whiteline Suspension to design some coilovers for your car from scratch and still have money over for lunch!

I'm in Ashiya in Hyogo-ken about 14km west of Osaka. Actually it takes about 10mins on the Shin-kaisoku from JR Osaka to Ashiya.

Have a look at the "Photo Diary" Shan... it's all there.

Mate, I wanna say the same thing about TAS/Daves house!!!

Take it easy! He just joined and you're already thinking about what he can offer? Geez. Don't try so hard Shan...

Suuuuugoi nihongo!!! Ima made jissho wo tsukawanakute mo ii kedo, saki no MESSAGE wa yomu toki hotondo wakaranakatta! Tatoeba, "noriTSUzukeruka" to "shOUKO" ;) ga wakaranakatta. Boku no tsuma ga tetsudattekureta... anshin shita Motto shouko wa iranai desu tokoro de ii kuruma to omou, VERTEX no earo- (aero) ga kakkoii yo.

Thats right... and I know how some of you Perth guys can W-H-O-R-E.mcnamg, you probably know my brothers Nick (Option Tinting) and Trent (TKO Tinting)?

No Shan... he's the Japan forums very own genuine SuperAutobacs mechanic. I met him through Troy after he had some work done there. Ikeri: do you have free time tomorrow to go driving with me and Troy?

I can't wait to try the Nurburgring!!!! One thing I thought they'd fix was the wheels... they all *still* look very 2D. Have a look at the way they did the wheels on Battle Gear 3 and you'll know what I mean.

I have a love/hate relationship with Japan right now.

Right now I'm watching one of the "epic" reality shows on Japanese TV where they follow some dude around with a camcorder while he "traces his footsteps back to his hometown, stopping by every shrine on the way and praising buddah for the glad tidings"... all with sickly sweet 1980's new wave emotional pop songs in the background. He finally meets up with Obaachan, gives her a peck on the cheek, says "genkisou!"... then thats it... Wheres the remote?

Ore no R32 to issho? Sugoi... drift007 no kuruma no shashin wo motteru? Hontoni mitaiyo! Tokoro de drift007 wa boku no koto wo machigatte "rexx" to yonda...

Btw, I've had it with fookin' dirty slobs here in Japan who cough out in the open, infront of anybody without covering their mouths... it's disgusting and I think I might swing at the next guy who does it. Geez even girls do it here...

Why are you fags being so negative? Japan forum needs a place where people can rant ABOUT JAPAN. Any useless crap posters like those knobs from WA will have their sh!t promptly deleted... That is all.

Post all useless crap here...

Not sur if a whore thread is needed in the Japan section... but here it is!!!

Chotto hen na... drift007, kuruma wo motteruka? sara ni doko ni sundeiru ka?

Hahaha regan... ur a funny bastard

Yeah, even squatting with the feet pointing out is my idea of semi-self torture... it must be their anatomy coz I find it (not that I do it but I've tried) quite uncomfortable.

C'mon Ikeri... introduce yourself to everybody!!!
