My name is Brad and i'm currently in the air force stationed in japan. I currently own an S14 zenki and love the car. I joined on here cause i'm going back to the states this august and i wanted a good place for parts. I'm going to ship my sr20det back with me but not car too much $$$ for that. I will be going back home to PA and i'm going to get big into drifting and hopefully be able to go D1.

ya it's pretty nice being over here. I've been here for over 3 yrs now so got extensive experience now with rb and sr motors. Both are like civics and mustangs over there. i'm not on mainland japan i'm on okinawa a small island to the south and there really isn't much internal motor work done to motors here that i trust but looking forward to it back in the states.

Welcome! I did 9 active in the AF, in the ANG now. Too bad you can't ship your car back, that would have been nice!

Good deal. I'm another member of the ANG and like Dustin i also envy you for being in Japan. I heard Okinawa is the place to be.

Ya parts are pretty cheap here. Although they're 2nd and 3rd hand still in good shape. Air Force isn't allowed to drift here though which is bs but we get around it. Some crazy cars here though. Fastest i've seen so far was in a street race and the thing had to run low 8's. It was insane i was standing like 200yds down from the start and it blew by us atleast 100mph.

I heard in Kadina they used to open apart of the flightline for drag racing. Guess that's not true??? Hmmm I might need you to get me a couple parts for my car.

What if I flew down there, and you show me where to go buy parts? Is it hard to ship stuff to the states?

Shipping is pretty expensive.

For The Cost Of Ticket To Japan Round Trip You Can Get What You Need In The States Because You Still Have To Ship It Home I Tried That I Only Brought Back What Fit In Mu Luggage Left Most Of My Clothes In The Room I Stayed In. But I Was Into Hondas Then Lotta Small Mugen Peices .:(

I still have my military I.D. and I could take a hop and pay only 30 bucks each way and bring my parts on the cargo plane, but I'm not really worried about the cost of shipping issue as long as I get EXACTLY what Im looking for.
