goin to the mainland

[EazyBreazy]

looks like im probably gonna get to go to mainland japan for a year or two. im gonna settle this import of silvia thing while im there and hopefully i can figure it out, even if its im ported as a racecar, and get the info to all you guys so you can do it too if you wanna. i hope it works out i wanna go badddddd

[Hijacker]

when you heading over, and what region will you be in?

[EazyBreazy]

not exactly sure im supposed to be like 5 hours from tokyo on a bullet train. if i go it will be early june

i wanna s15 race car. and im gonna get it if it kills me.

[Bunta240]

What are you gonna do there for 2 years? I was thinking about trying to go there as some foreign exchange progam or something when I get in college. I was thinking of importing a R32 if I ever had the chance of going.

[EazyBreazy]

im gonna work im in the military

[Hijacker]

5 hours from tokyo on a bullet train? that covers almost all of honshu. it took 6 hours by the express train to get to tokyo from osaka.

if i don't have a new set of S13 K's emblems by then, do you think you could pick me up a pair?

[EazyBreazy]

definately i have no problem helping people out like that. ill still be on the board when i get there so people can just hit me up. like i said im gonna figure out how to get silvias as a race car over here. so once i do that we can all start talking deals

[Hijacker]

cool. i need to hit up my host mom from japan and see if she can hook me up with some stuff from japan

[D1SR240]

ur lucky, i wish i could go to Japan for a year or two, well maybe once i'm in collage i'll be able to work something out, good luck

[Bunta240]

ur lucky, i wish i could go to Japan for a year or two, well maybe once i'm in collage i'll be able to work something out, good luck

Yep, my plans exactly. When are you going to college? Maybe, by some freak chance ill see you in japan...

[EazyBreazy]

bunta u going to japan? im not in college im in the corp. maybe we can hook up and party if we go

[SienSil80]

I lived there for awhile its cool. You'll have alot of fun. Do you speak much Japanese?

[Hijacker]

i was in osaka for four months. knowing the language makes things MUCH easier

[Bunta240]

I may. I want to for a school thing. But right now its only an idea. Part of the reason I want to go there is to learn the language too. I know little to nothing right now.

[EazyBreazy]

i dont know any. but when it comes to car talk it transiends all language barriers. ill figure it out when i get there though im sure. hopefully ill pick up some of the language while im there

[Hijacker]

you'd be surprised most of the japanese car talk is lifted from phonetic translations. so most of the words are the same, but they use bonnet instead of hood, and boot instead of trunk (i think on that last one). and then some things get a complete translation into japanese instead of them trying to pronounce the english version. Isn't translating fun?!

bunta, if you go for school, you'll learn a lot. especially if you live with a host family.

[spec-u-later]

I spent two years in Tokyo on Yokata AFB. Which base will you be at. BTW bullit trains are very expensive, but so is everything else over there. $20 for a medium Pizza Hut pizza.

[EazyBreazy]

well its official im going in june. now its up to me if i wanna stay a year or if i wanna stay 2 years. im going to be on iwa kuni(spelling). expensive. oh well i guess thats the price im gonna have to pay for owning a true blooded silvia. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa i am the coolest

[D1SR240]

Yep, my plans exactly. When are you going to college? Maybe, by some freak chance ill see you in japan...

i'm a sophmore right now, so in like 2006 at the soonest, if i even do go, which i hope i do. and yea maybe by some freak chance i'll see you there : )

[AznRide]

Hmm...interesting. I might have to go active just so I can go to japan. LOL. Maybe after I get my commission though, cause I hate being an enlisted soldier. I hope you learn the language soon cause not a lot of people speaks english over there, they are tradition and likes to keep their style if you know what i mean.

[EazyBreazy]

understandable i want some of their driving style. i hope its as fun as everyone tells me it will be
