JDM quality?? I think not. Most of that stuff is made in Korea, Taiwan, China, or India. It sucks for the Japanese manufactureres. A lot of them lost their jobs similar to the U.S. But yea, 100 yen store is still ok. I bought a basketball pump and after 2 years of use, it finally broke! But for less than 1 US dollar...what can u expect.

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-24-2004, 04:58 PM

kcolyer27: watch the racial slurs. 'jap' is not an appropriate term on this webforum.

KiDyNomiTe · 06-25-2004, 01:39 AM

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-25-2004, 05:08 AM

i'm enamored with that white 180.. it's like my car, except with sidesteps! he had 10mm spacers on too to make the rims supaflush

*sykikchimp* · 06-25-2004, 06:17 AM

So is it hard to get around over there without knowing the language?

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-25-2004, 06:28 AM

not hard to get around... but a bit trying to get what you want or find out information

fogleroller · 06-25-2004, 10:09 AM

Hey Kev! Pm'd ya.

dstyle · 06-25-2004, 11:43 AM

hey i just got back in from oki. yup got to see grip of hooked up cars down there. it was so nice to visit home again. anyways nice pics you got there kevin. i went to up garage the other day and took pics of their cars too. well hopefully the weather gets better here bc my friends are supposed to take me to the races. once i found out where they go down at maybe we could head out to them.

rupertaker1 · 06-25-2004, 12:28 PM

Anyhow.....keep up the good work with the Imagestation pics.....good stuff. Get some good pics of the aftermarket shops (Up-garage..etc.) inventories. I know its used stuff....but its fun to see that stuff.

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-25-2004, 03:03 PM

yeah that is a high price for GTR wheels, but they did come with brand new DNA GPs
Chris: cool! give us a call sometime! 264 6390
John: checking PMs

oberkill · 06-25-2004, 03:54 PM

You are near a whole bunch of cool junkyards where you are. Have you been to the auto hobby shop yet? Some people there can give you directions. I probably could but I have not been there for 3 years so who knows what has changed!

Which Up Garage did you go to? If it the one I think it is you are only about 3 miles from the "skyline heaven" junkyard. basically an all Nissan junkyard.

Bee R racing is close by there as well.
