STi v6 wagon...... i don:t understand....
its hard to communicate with them... even my host sister... english is hard for them.
i hope they know what im talking about... i went on this street and its all car shops... not sure exactly what they are, but seems pretty interesting.
the B4s here are gorgeous!!! see ya

 

what the...

thought no one posts here. and what do i see?? 23 pages of coquitlem subaruism!

tried reading all of em too but dah! too much to cover

hey Mynxi you know. I think RC, Doug, and I spotted yer car about half a year back. Do you happen to know someone working at the sushi place right across from Coquitlem center? We were erm... making a transaction when we saw you park and sprint in. I waved but guess you didn't see us?

maybe i'll catcha around at a meet sometime.

 

heya! glad u dropped by. it so happens that i work at that japanese restaurant for over a year now... so my car is always parked in front. or the stalls in coq center across from the entrance. its pretty easy to spot... i park in front so i can keep an eye on him

im in japan right now... coming back on the 31st. my car is in the shop. im looking for parts too...

what kind of things should i buy... its hard to communicate here... but some small accessories are nice

im trying to set up a meet for aug 2 or 3. bbq and prizes.. yeah

 

Heh. Everyone's going to Japan these days. A friend of mine just got back a couple weeks ago, he went there with Campus Crusade; and I think I'll be seeing the land of the rising sun in the next 6 months or so.

In terms of accessories, I dunno. I guess you'll just have to get what's pleasing to the eye? I'm not really a guy to ask about that since I'm not too accessory happy. All I've got is an air freshener (essential ) and a shift **** in my car. Erm... Don't forget you can buy yourself t-shirts

 

can you take some B4 pic, please
Thanks

 

all the cars here are really different. went to the toyota plant today and saw how they made cars and stuff. they make about 240 cars a day and it takes 20 hours to make a car. it was really cool. then we went to the museum and saw cars from back in the 1800s? really nice. then we went to the exhibition and they have 60 models for domestic... none of them in canada except corolla and celica? everything seems to be mini and compact, very
cute though! got a book on the history of subaru also... pretty nice.
i am taking pics of everything. and of course the B4!! it is gorgeous!!! saw about 4 imprezas so far... one that looks exactly like mine but blue, one that is rally?, one that is older, and one wagon. several typeRs, RSXs, many R34, R33, supras everywhere, hmm..lots! love it here! see ya!

 

hey jo

u should get sth special

sth that u never see in Van

or sth that is expensive to buy in Van, and if they are small u can buy a whole bunch of them

sth like all the STi accessories (emblem, grille, lights, etc etc)

it's tough to buy big parts there like exhaust, suspension etc etc

but small misc parts would be nice....u probably save a whole bunch already!

for example...a friend of mine w/ a 99 Civic HB....he bought Spoon Radiator Cap, thermostat, thermo switch, tower bars, shift ****, steering wheel, gauge cluster, Endless Brake pads, rotors, etc etc back from Japan and he was saying he saved about 40% compares to if he buys here (means he pays $100 here he pays about $60 there)???

basically his luggage is all CAR PARTS!!!

and Japan won't have too many fake stuff like if u buy in HK or Taiwan....those will be headache to identify!

and bring back as many pix as u can!

 

i want to too. but i dont really know where to find them. there is a street that has a lot of car things. but i didnt get a chance to go in yet. i will tomorrow. i am getting a digital camera here too. but i dont really know which models are good. i didnt even look into them yet. any suggestions?
i love those mini cartoon version toy cars that pull back and go really fast. i found some of them. and im looking for subaru. they are not that expensive.
i brought an empty suitcase for car parts. a huge one! i hope it's gonna be enough. hehe.
anyway. later!

 

umm guess only those ppl there can help u? did u try to ask Tora? he had been in Japan?

which models are good? suggestion? u meant for toy cars?

my friend bought a whole bunch and gave a Subaru one to PiGi....but he doesn't give me his collection "Spoon Civic"...damn....what a friend!

haha do u need volunteer at the airport?

we have lots of free workers here that would like to meet u....and take care of the parts u bring back! :P

 

I vote Canon for good digital cameras

 

chiroQ mini toy pull back cars are hard to find now because they were a hit a few years back but now they are making less, and less stores carry them. but i am looking hard.

it is really frustrating to find the right car parts because the store keepers dont know any english. and the host doesnt know about cars. so i was tough... sigh... i cant find a lot of things. but i did manage to order a shift ****... i want my rear under spoiler... but i dont know how to carry it back home... hmm.... it is a full spoiler, not the halves. they dont understand the halves that i want....

as for the camera, they are just the same price almost, and i dont have enough money. sigh... and i dont know if the cameras are going to work on the computers at home, so i might save up for ones at home.

really? i could get free help??�@

 

yeah i wanna meet all of ya too. its kinda weird not know exactly who i am talking to... well, i hope the meet will work out after i come back... i really want the meet to happen. but it all depends on you guys if you show up or not... i want at least 10 cars. or is that too hard to do... sigh...

 

oh i didn't know that....

but that's expected...stuff in Japan will get popular very fast....but it will also pass out so fast...

u meant the rear spats, right? i believe ppl says V2 will perfect fit our CDN rear bumpers...yet will any body still stock those old parts in Japan?!?! or do they still even make it? never know....so good luck...spats ain't big to bring back....

is there any full under spoiler? how do they look?!

u probably want to know more Japanese before u go there....

which city are u visiting now?

pm me what are the parts u r looking for....see if i can get u the name is Japanese....so at least u can show ur host family or the car parts sales....

i have a Japanese friend who can speak Cantonese here....she can translate that for me no problem i think!

why not? since we are going to take good cares of the parts u bring back!

j/k (well....i do have another meaning for "take good cares")
