There are still plenty of Marines still in Okinawa. They'll never leave. I was stationed there back in late 02 til late 03. You have and extra $16K lying around? I'm jealous.

Yeah, I talked to a few friends that were stationed in Beaufort SC and they were saying the same thing. I used to like there when my Pops was active duty USMC, but that was back in the 90's. Good times.

JaPAn!!! Cool, Hey, Wouldnt make more sense to just sell your Evo and buy one out there that is already JDM'd out plus ride side drive bro!!! :) Thats what I would do.

rich guy...

thats pretty sweet that your going out there, gosh first thing i would do BUY AN R34 i would take an R34 over almost any car out there. i would even sell my evo here to own an R34 there,
speaking of sorry this is offtopic but it was the coolest thing ever,
the other day out here in Arizona i was getting on the freeway and i look in the rear view and OMG gun metal grey R34 i slow down got next to him (the whole time i was freaking out) and the guy waved then i had to exit to get to the hiking area i was going to. IT was so awesome

Yea I'm at Kadena AFB. I live down in Okinawa City though...down the street from one of the Autobacs too.

The Autobacs here kinda suck...they're more like Autozone than anything else. Sure they sell SOME cool things like Defi gauges, turbo-timers...but not much really. When everyone thinks of Autobacs, they think of the SUPER Autobacs on mainland...THOSE are a tuner's dream. But not on Okinawa though.

From my experience here (so far) Okinawa is Nissan/Toyota land. You can find parts for those cars like it's going out of style.

Driving a Honda here has its plus and minus points. Very hard to get parts for it...but it definitely stands out from all the damn Nissans and Toyotas though. I still wish I could have brought the IX though.

An R34 here is the regular Skyline R34...I'm guessing you were referring to the GTR-R34, those are incredibly expensive here too.

The thread below is a GTR-R34 from UMS Tuning in AZ:

Thats sick man live it up there for me

You'll have a blast there man, just got back from there a week ago. I was deployed out there for 3 months. and yea the autobacs does suck. I'm from Los angeles and the autobacs there is so much tailored to the american jdm enthusiats. they had all the parts downstairs. turbos, intercoolers right off the shelf if you wanted it get it, and even an upstairs with car models, toys, books, apparel and such. i went to the autobacs there in okinawa and it sucked. i even went to the super autobacs in yokohama and that sucked as well, though they did have a small section of ralliart stuff, mostly keychains and minor interior cosmetics. hope you have fun out there! i'll be back out in sep! :usflag:

So did you sell it or is it in storage?

oh man nice car mang, those japanese guys will prolly flip seeing a evo with the steering wheel on the "wrong" side, prolly going to say something as well like "eh-voe nine-aaahh, no eyyche-kayy-esss-aaa partooo"

Defi BF Imperial In white. I bought the cluster from a guy off of eBay. PM me if you want his contact info.

Yup, 2 years and the Evo will be in storage for 2 years

GReddy Competition Ti-C. I already have a Radar Detector and it's a Cobra aswell.

I'm at Camp Courtney. I went to Autobacs a couple of days ago and I can honestly say: I'm disappointed.

Yea, I stayed at Creek on leave. I live in North Lauderdale though. Was I doing anything stupid? :lol:


Yea, Motivating Camp Courtney. No, the IX will be in the States while I'm out here. :(

Skylines are overrated and after seeing about 10,000 of the base model Skylines, you'll get sick of them regardless if it's a GTR, GTS or GT. :rolleyes:

Besides, Evo V FTW!

Will do! :beer:

In Storage! I WILL NEVER SELL MY EVO IX! :mitsu: :)

Like I tell anyone here that mentions they want a Skyline...go GTR or don't bother.
R32 and R33 GTRs are cool but for me the REAL head-turners are the R34 & new R35 GTRs.

I was wondering when you went off too.. I see now :D

Yea man. I'm pretty homesick right now.
