Vladivostok? I guess that's not exactly a small town!

Hmm interesting fact lifted from wiki:

A very important employer and a major source of revenue for the city's inhabitants is the import of Japanese cars.[3] Besides salesmen, the industry employs repairmen, fitters, import clerks as well as shipping and railway companies.[16] The Vladivostok dealers sell 250,000 cars a year, with 200,000 going to other parts of Russia.[16] Every third worker in the Primorsky Krai  has some relation to the automobile import business. In recent years,  the Russian government has made attempts to improve the country's own  car industry. This has included raising tariffs for imported cars, which  has put the car import business in Vladivostok in difficulties. To  compensate, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin ordered the car manufacturing  company Sollers  to move one of its factories from Moscow to Vladivostok. The move was  completed in 2009, and the factory now employs about 700 locals. It is  planned to produce 13,200 cars in Vladivostok in 2010.[3]

Bet you guys get stuff from Japan much cheaper then us! its like a stone's throw to Japan from where you are!

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
