No, I never did.

I know that you go to the circut, or you go to Touge, though.

Most people learn car control and crap from Gymkhana.

LOL@ drifting calsess. Sounds like a money-grabbing scheme.

it cant be that expensive. plus, i need a car 2 start out. i wont get my jzx for a while, prolly less than a year though.

Good things come to those who wait :D

well, i hope so 2. i went 2 a garage off(reused and new car parts store) like an hour away from base and i saw a tourer V mk2 5 speed for 1,500,000 yen. cheapest 1 i seen yet

Derek - so just because he lives in Japan, he get's to type like an idiot? why do you worship people just because they live over there? i admit, i would love to live there, but that doesn't give them any special rights. i say whoop-dee-fucking-doo. and "thug" because that's his user-name. :rolleyes:

japthug - no offence. the reason i'm asking you to stop is for your own benefit. i know most people who see someone typing in slang ("ne1 here seen dat new car ova at da dealership?") tend to completely dis-regard whatever they say and label them as morons. i know personally, if someone uses slang too much, i tend to not pay attention to their posts and sometimes skip over them completely. it's your decision, but i'm just trying to help you out. hope you get your JZX100. i love those. :icon16:

No i was laughing at the way he types and his name BECAUSE of the fact he lives on YAB

i appreciate your help, and i guess it isnt that hard to type normal, but ya, you dont have to criticize my ways. and ya, does anyone know if the jzx100 can be converted to us spec? and if so, how much would it cost approximately?

this might have been mentioned b4...bout how can you talk in american slang..and live in japan unless you just moved there...

my dad's in the air force and is stationed at yokota afb. my mom is full japanese so i'm 1/2 white and 1/2 japanese. i lived in japan for about 14 years now. does that answer your question?

and how old are you?

17, why? i'm about to start my senior year of high school starting august 25

so can you hook a fellow 17 year old senior up with some JDM parts?

i suppose, i got some friends that just graduated my high school that are really crazy about racing so i can ask them. what are you looking for? aero kits, engine parts, huh?

What Id REALLY like

License Plates, Emblems, just little shit like that...and an SR20 :D

how much can u get a silvia s13 front end for? all 11 parts.

aero bumper preferably

and i would like the CA18 headlights..
the squares, not the projectors

Hey everyone, I got my car back today, it turns out the only thing that got Screwed up was my Rear left lower control arm (rear suspension arm) and one of my rims got bent. I got the control arm replaced with a new one from the dealer (cost about $120) and the rim i got from a junk yard for $15. My fender is still dented pretty bad, but the car is definantly driveable. I'm just glad there was nothing wrong with the axle or frame. Anyways, Definantly no more crazy driving for me. (at least not in the rain on tight streets :wink: )

thats good to hear bro.

im glad u learned from ur mistakes.

i dont want my insurance going up cause of ppl like u :biggrin2:

11 parts? can you be more specific cause i can only think of headlights, parking lights, hood, front bumper, fenders, and the grill.

Side markers? Light brackets?

Jking about the SR20.

I gotta get some cash, but Im re-decorating my room, and am putting car stuff for decoration, and while I wait to get my own car, so thats why I want small stuff.

i would also like to know about the Silvia front end, jap plates, 180SX lights, seats, emblems, wheels etc.

glad to hear~ it's always good tat somethign like this happend I guess, so than u can learn from ur mistakes! GL and drive safe in the future!~ :smile: :bigthumb:

if ya'll are serious about getting some car parts from japan, just email me and i'll see what i can do. stuff that can be easily shipped like lights, emblems, plates, etc. i would be more than happy to help ya'll out on ya'lls projects, but things like engines and big heavy machinery, i'm sorry, but i dont think i can help ya'll there. i'm just wondering, does stuff like blowoffs and turbines from japanese model cars fit the same american model cars?

WOW im happy everyone LOVES japthug now!!!:icesangel

Well welcome to AF, haveing friends from afar is always a good thing!!! hope you enjoy your stay here!! We are all friendly deep inside :wink:

And the answer to your question is yes with some custom fabing anything can be made to work, its all basicly the same thing just from diffrent cars dont mean it wont work on your car :bloated:

X:\My Pictures\1.jpg
X:\My Pictures\2.jpg
X:\My Pictures\3.jpg

right now, all three on auction for 19000yen a piece

19000 yen is 190 us dollars ryte or is it 1,900 dollars:confused:

ya, around 190 dollars. just take the yen and divide by the yen rate(usually between 115-120yen to the dollar). it's a little less than 190 dollars.

The US is possibly the cheapest country to live in. Its better than England at least.
