Great to know, congrats!

Will do the same sometime later this year.
That amount of power should be more than enough for me.

Thanks again!

the car feels amazing now. i love it. pulls hard all the way to redline

tricky_ab · 05-23-2010, 07:59 PM

I love getting magazines from my boy in Japan.

The new Drift Tengoku Mook is AMAZING as it's up to date with most S chassis items.

They dont have a japanese market near you that sells these??
must be a bummer to have to wait to get them from your buddy in japan... I guess its more suspenseful that way lol.
If i could only read them lol,always lots of cool articles.

I'm not surprised. It's unusual to find any sort of concentration of Japanese Americans outside of the West Coast. I'm in DC, and I've found ONE place that sells Tengoku/Option. If you're in a small-to-midsize city on the East Coast or in the Midwest, I bet there wouldn't be a Japanese bookstore in the whole city.

I have subscriptions to G-Works and Nostalgic Hero through a friend in Chiba, because even most Japanese bookstores in the states don't sell those.

There are a few places I could buy them from in my city (There's a LARGE Chinese mall that has various car shops in it) but they want $25+ depending on which magazine they are selling. Plus it's a good 45 minute drive so unless I'm in the area, it's not worth it.

My friend buys them for me and ships them out snail mail every month. It's like a mini Christmas every month...

I'm lucky because of the large Asian population of my city. That being said, they do like to charge out of the ass for product.

ronmcdon · 05-24-2010, 03:43 AM

Had a 06 Sti myself for a few years.
imo, it's got great power stock.
maybe it's the added torque from the 2.5l, idk.
Never felt the need to even add an exhaust. & kept it entirely stock.

Moving from that to a stock evo x, the evo's a bit sluggish stock.
It def needed more power prob to keep up with the extra weight.
Still, I enjoy my evo overall much more than my old sti.
evo's 4b11 appears to be much more responsive to power making mods than the sti engine (ej25?).

Flipzide · 05-24-2010, 11:37 AM

Bought a set of kouki tail lights, a bomex wangan wing, and a set of super advans in the past few weeks.

WISH ONE · 05-24-2010, 11:45 AM

True, I guess im just used to everything being around the corner, Mitsuwa, Marukai, Bookoff.. etc.
Although when i went to Toronto I did see a few Japanese markets, but i have no clue if they carried the magz of not.

lucky7 · 05-24-2010, 11:54 AM

<- never seen a japanese market before.

lucky7 · 05-25-2010, 07:56 AM

yeah, toronto has lots of asians. i can go to restaurants and order raw meat and a hookah. Dearborn Mi has THE largest arab community outside the middle east. not much of an asian community though.
