Thank you!
yeah thats Mt fuji, had to get away from the tokyo traffic on the weekends!
Its pretty much stock except for the Oz 17inch, project Mu pads and apexi full exhaust. i spent a total 1 mil jpy getting it on the road. Full service history and only done 48ks which is pretty low for this old dude.

but i think the fuel pump is getting abit old, lol maybe il have to put up another thread shortly hahaha

whats your ride like with the 272cams compared to the stock? i was thinking about getting HKS 264/264 10.8/10.2 soon cause i found them brand new for total 200usd which is a good deal? i think?

I am still running stock cams I do have BC 272 but are not installed. They are a mild cam and I plan on getting something a little more aggressive like an S2. If you can post up more pic of your ride. Im sure everyone will enjoy them. Most are JDM nuts

Man, I wish I could afford to go to Japan just to check out the Motorsport culture that must be an awesome thing to do.
