Have you checked out Upgarage yet in Kasukabe? They have a ton of stuff for our cars. Wheels too volks for 100,000 yen.

naw i just search the site and bring the links to my guy at the shop and order it in. the yen rate BLOWS right now with it being 77¥-1$

 

I see. Yeah the exchange rate does suck since you are getting paid USD not Yen forgot about that. At least theres a bit more market for the 5x100 over there with Legacy enthusiasts compared to the states. Are you gonna try and make a track day over there at tsukuba or maybe fuji speedway?

 

Nice bugeye Hatteroo! I always liked the JDM version compared to water down USDM.

 

Sweet exhaust Hatteroo! One of the best looking exhaust I've ever seen!

 

One of these days...there's one in august at fuji comming up. I need new tires...mine are on their way out the door lol.

Thanks man....yeah I get alot of comments about it because it looks so weird to them and even other subaru folks too, but I love it

 

Uh, Hey Mr. R.C, you remember me? LOL, the one whom your shipped package was recirculating from hawaii to new york like 8 times in a row. lol.... JK brudder.


anyways, uhh...stop making us all jealous of your STi!! Jus saying. But what a beauty nonetheless.. How you been up in Oki?

 

such a nice build Hatteroo..

Man for some reason, subarus in japan look way better than the ones here even with identical body styling.

 

Yeah I got to see a track day at Tsukuba that was EPIC. I wanna drive that track sometime in my life time. Fuji too. Suzuka I'd be afraid to lol.

 

Ya man that was a headache for both of us :lol
I'm actually not in Okinawa anymore...I've been in Tokyo for the past year

Thanks man! Ya they do look a bit different even though it's the exact same as in the states if you mod it. Maybe it's the authenticity of it being in Japan?
I prefer to keep the stock look for the most part since I'm fairly a purist with this stuff and love the stock look anyways. I just wish I had the black s202 seats rather than the spec c type ra seats to be more period correct

 

So lucky.. Always wanted to see a track day in Japan. All the japanese girls "waaaaa SUUUGOI!!!!"

Might be right about the authenticity. In america just seems so weird no reason to back it up though. haha

Maybe give Kasukabe upgarage a try? There were plenty of seats if i recall for sale (about 1month back i was there).

 

Some of it has to do with adapting to Americans, for example the seats, they hug more in the originals but the US ones do not, this is probably to accommodate to larger persons here. The body I say has to do with certain regulations, beams and etc. Stupid little nit picky things.

 

hahaha sugoiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! Eh japanese women ALWAYS over exagerate their surprised expressions. Gets kinda annoying at times because im like...wtf it wasn't that awesome (I'm thinking it in my head of course lol)

Stupid american standards are quite annoying. Japanese standards are much higher than ours and the cars are just as safe and burn cleaner. Definently too much of a strangle hold on the auto industry for the states.

 

The seats here feel like a bed now that you mention it.

Your prob right on the body. Whatever it is, cars over there are just sexy.

thats true. haha

I think what the states want us to be is tree hugging hybrid vehicle drivers... Or casa de alternative.. Drive a diesel truck.

 

Don't worry when I get my full time job, I will be rolling coal EVERYWHERE. Did you know a wildfire in CA creates more green house gases than a year's worth of car pollution?

Oh and regulations in other countries are WAY MORE STRICT, but we get the short end of the stick, ****ed in all directions and I CANNOT HAS A LAUREL SO EASILY :/. Out of everyone I talked to in Japan regarding cars here in the states they were appalled to hear that we do not have the entire Nissan line up, not only that surprised that my car has a 2.5L in it and has no top end, their comment usually was "Don't americans love their freeways?" I said in their mustangs and camaros they do, one guy replied, damn I want one of those. LMFAO.

Now regarding Japanese women, LEGS LEGS LEGS all year around but always KYAAA, KIMOI, SUGOI at everything. They think ANYTHING is amazing, like in a train, one was surprised at how tall I am and ended up using me as a buffer and something to hold onto, her reply at me when I said I live in the US, "WAAAAAA SUGOIIII!!!!" Probably the equivalent of me saying Hella LOL
