unfortunately if osan is the same as yongsan which im guessing its 98 octane r+m/2. which is about 93 octane.

btw i saw the pics you posted of your car a little while ago. looks real good.

i've seen a rx-7 on the track at everland about a month ago and a newer supra painted up like the fast and furious going through songtan. a guy i met invited out to a 1/4 mile, never got to go yet but he said there is an evo 6 that is always out there. he also will probably be buying my car as soon as its SOFA status runs out on it. he offered $35k for it.

damn....35K??? Might as well score yourself an evo 9 with that money. Jacko, are you at yongsan? I saw a silver evo, looked stock that had bumper damage. Is that you?

3 more months until Ramstein and the Nurburgring. Can't wait...

haha. yeah thats me. someone got me when they pulled into a parking spot next to me. or pulling out. but they drove off. one of these days ill get the scrapes fixed correctly. i just threw some touch up paint over the scratches because it was down to the black panel.
i ran into a navy guy at the yongsan gas station today. looks like there will be yet another silver evo in 2 months. guess silver is the color to have.

went to a namsam this weekend. not too many cars up there. s14 rhd, bmw 5xx and z3, nsx and my evo. later in the night a few tuscanis rolled through and also a porsche. the guys up there said most of the guys had gone to the west coast to drag. none of the skylines showed up. we also got a few of the korean cars like matiz and accent. i laughed at first about the matiz but the guy driving it is a maniac. he can drive. the hyundai guys are doing the best with what they have. which isnt much. from what i hear they are old school and fabricating stuff themselves. so its cool seeing the cars out there. plus they are all very friendly and interested in cars.

yeah, we meet up right there near namsan library. theres a good sized parking lot up there. they liked the evo. but the nsx stole my thunder. lol.
today i saw a dark grey supra w/ vielside kit at yongsan e-mart. and an s14. also saw a bunch of tuned hyundais. dont know if i just started noticing it more or if the scene is korea is blowing up but there are somewhat tuned cars every where i look now.
