Hell From Japan

Hello all...i'm new to this board. I was just curious as to what goes on here. I'm from Vegas, but stationed in Japan. Been here for the past 5 years and dont speak any of the language. I was apart of the Operation Tomodachi...if anyone knows what that is.

Just curious...i'm on nasioc, rs25, subaru forester.org. and flat 4 lv. This site seems pretty official so hopefully i can gain some knowledge and parts. haha!

I own a 07 WRX in vegas with only 25K miles on it...maybe a little more. I own a 98 Forester S/tb locally here in japan with 60k kilometers. Mild mods on both cars. I'll post some pictures a little later.

I'm actually looking for a nur spec exhuast or just axle back...if anyone knows anything. thanks guys.

Did you run to the US embassy when the nuclear melt-down was going on?

there should be an autobacs there i was in Okinawa and misawa last year in 2010 they got a good amount of parts and most know how to speak/understand english if they don't have the part you want they can order it for you and or direct you to the store you can buy it from.

Yeah I'm in the navy. Autobacs is cool, but just stupid expensive for stuff. Now up garage is the place to go. I got a set of advans with tires for $500. Or little over...

When the 津波 happened we were in Singapore. The day we got the is the day that the tsunami happened. The next day we were out. Hauling *** towards northern japan

There's a small shop out by the Hino exit off the Yoko-Yoko called "Parts-Off"

Get off the highway, turn right head down til you see a Subaru Dealer...just past that on the right side is "Parts-Off" has a yellow sign out front and is right next to a motorcycle shop.

They have a few SG5 exhausts on most occasions.

At sea right now but we'll have to hook up some time.

Tomodachi was NO fun...we were off the coast of ***ushima the next day. Truly amazing the amount of devastation.

i'll try to post some pictures a little later. I'm waiting for some coilovers so after that i'll take some pictures. the rims arent that cool..i guess.. I need new tires, so i figured rims and tires were okay. $500...thats not that bad. they're a 17x7 so...nothing special.

i'll have to try that shop a little later. Is anyone here in japan right now...i'm about to go underway for 2 months...
