Okinawa thread
So, who here is on Okinawa and what do you drive? I know of a few here but the international forum seems kind of dead. Anyway, just wondering who all is out there.
I currently have a Skyline but used to have a few subarus. I had a nice '95 STi RA back in 2003-2007 or so. Took it back to the states and eventually broke it and sold it. Was fun while it lasted. Got an '04 STi in Virginia and that was fun too. Would own another if I had a chance but for now I am having fun playing with skylines and seeing if I can get 800 hp or so out of a daily driver on an island with an 80kph speed limit! I know Rich is lurking out there but don't know too many others from this board over here. |

?? What's it matter unless you're doing illegal stuff? Yeah, there are street racers over here but we have a few legal spots to go to also. There are two track days coming up soon for gymkana and then another drag race in July. I think the gymkana is the first and second weekend and the drags are on the third. I will pm or post them when I find out solid dates.

Question two, who here goes to the RCCA events? I didn't check the date yet but I'm pretty sure I'm going to take the STi up for it's maiden event when ever the mirror image event goes in August.

I may have to work on that day, but I really need to get a feel for the new STi before I drive the speed limit. Where do you stay? Are you in the ODG crew or McT or one of the other Marine bases?

I work on Hansen and live down in Ishikawa. I may be TAD on the 15th but I am going to try to make it. Have not been out to play much since I have been adding stuff to it. Need to get a feel for the new mods now since it is like a whole new car after all the stuff done last week.

What's your SN on ZY? Mine is the same. I also work on Hansen, who are you with? Who's doing the tune on your car? If I was going to have any PFC work done I'd take my car to Speed Factory, I hear alot of good things about that shop, seen at least one car done right come out of that shop.

I'm Kappa on zy. I work at ANGLICO right across from the library. You will see my car if you drive by -its the only black 32 in the lot. Scott over at S-tec is tuning and building the skyline. He does really good work. He also did my subaru back several years ago (six speed swap into a gc, rotated t3/t4, power fc and a bunch of other stuff). I hear good things about speed factory's work but I have always been great results with Scott. You should see the size of the turbo we just put on. Had to put spacers on one of the motor mounts to tip the engine slightly to fit it and cut some metal out of the hood and manifold to get the hood to close.
To avoid a re-post, here is a link to some pics: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...hlight=skyline |

Man, for now I work at Bldg 2323, the one right in front of the Anglico Barracks. At the end of August I go back to 7th Crime. Hell yeah, man you'll have to show me that beast when I get back next week. I've probably seen you counltess times but never thought twice about it. There's another ZYer with me, the blue/purple Evo is Lazarus.

Head out of Kadena get one, or just cruise 58. It seemed like when I left you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting an Evo IV on those dealership lots. They have GC8 WRX's and STi's on those lots pretty often too, and I even saw some Bug-eye WRX's making an appearance on those lots. Of course they have tons of S13, 14's, Skylines and FD's if you want to go that route. I could show you to some car lots if you don't mind waiting.

There's one for sale on zy right now. 95 sti for $5000 or so with two sets of rims. But yeah, like RealDealTarheel said, they are getting easier to find. Check the lemon lot recently on Kadena?
Edit to change price after I checked again. Last edited by 95sti; 07-29-2009 at 09:47 PM. |

Are you talking about Eric's STi or that 95 WRX? Old boy's white WRX is not an STi. I thought Eric took his STi off the market and decided to put 3 diffs in it and build it or what not?

Think it was Eric's but maybe he is not selling? I just browse through there every once in a while just to see what is around. I am not looking for a car so I don't pay that much attention.
Three diffs in a subie is fun but hope he upgrades to 'mission or he will be shoping for a new one soon 5 speeds were not the best idea subaru every came up with. |
