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?

I'm actually not in Okinawa anymore...I've been in Tokyo for the past year
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

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?

no reason to back it up though. hahaMaybe 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.

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

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

thats true. hahaI 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
