cool I'll have to stop by when I go back in January! The show room means its not like HKS which is not open to the public.

PHOENIX · 12-27-2006, 01:20 AM

Yeah, HKS is much bigger, they would probably get hundreds of people a day "Browsing".

PM me before you get out here, well have a beer or something. Its nice to talk to someone in English that is from the states.

RedStarr · 12-27-2006, 09:08 AM

lol Phoenix, sounds like you're starving for the English familiarity...Engrish getting to ya?

For some reason I thought you were an american stationed there for the longest, so I take it your no Gaijin like myself

. So what do you do there where do you work? and are you married, really close with your family and all? I always want to know alot about japanese culture even though my GF is cambodian. We met a girl in japan that spoke decent english and on the second day that we werent going to see here again she was balling crying and hugging us (sweet american guys

) she came to america to meet us and spend some time before she went to something she had to do in New York. Really cool experiences in Japan, I drank 151 proof liquor and went to pee and burped and it shot out of my stomach and out, I wasnt throwing up! i had a lot to drink and yet that was the only thing that came up LOL. I cant wait to go back!

PHOENIX · 01-04-2007, 06:05 PM

lol, yes...im an american

I grew up in the great state oregon (damn hippies) and is as white as can be (except im a ginger).

I've lived here a little over a year, and will be here for another 2 years. My wife is in the Air Force and I am a contractor on the installation we live at. Pretty good deal too since we don't pay nothing for rent so our paychecks go straight to the bank account (and then gets wasted on booze and traveling).

My car phoenix (below) is in California (in storage) and I drive a black 91 MR2 Turbo here in Japan.

Jinja · 01-04-2007, 06:07 PM

Hey Phoenix, did you get my PM's mate???

Cheers

PHOENIX · 01-04-2007, 06:10 PM

ahhh, sorry i didn't reply to you. I can't view pictures on my work computer, and i just got my new computer up and running (officially) last night at home. When i get home, ill check out the picture you sent me and let you know. Im heading down to Border tomorrow to drop off their magazines and find out about getting a group buy going for a few of the smaller items, in which case if your serious about the product you want, I think I can make the arrangements for you.

Martin · 01-04-2007, 07:00 PM

hey Phoenix,

you are so lucky to be there. I'd fill a container if i had a chance to be there.

Looking for a 94-99 MR2 Blitz gen III 3sgte ecu. Anything you see there? I'd pay you for your help in purchasing too.

Martin

PHOENIX · 01-04-2007, 07:49 PM

ill keep my eye out for you, although its hard for me to get parts since my japanese reading and writing skills are a little poor.

lowboost · 01-08-2007, 10:31 AM

so you cant speak japanese either? or are you pretty good at it now or just mainly stay on base?

Jinja · 01-08-2007, 11:31 AM

You're a star Phoenix

Yes, I'm very serious about the wings.

Let me know how you get on.....cheers m8

lowboost · 01-09-2007, 02:20 PM

Phoenix, I'm not going to the autosalon (I think it started today or this week sometime anyway) I didnt really care for it anyways. I will be in Tokyo in April or May to see some JGTC events and a drift event if we can work it out just right. I'm just waiting to see the JGTC calendar for 2007 get posted first!

TTYL!

Hiighboost2 · 01-09-2007, 04:22 PM

Do you know where to get that rear visor thing above the back window?

PHOENIX · 01-09-2007, 05:05 PM

lowboost - My japanese goes to the extent of small talk, i can't do technical stuff yet, just haven't had the opportunity to learn it. I can get around just fine, i understand better than i can speak. I can read japanese better than i write it. Ill be at the tokyo auto salon

your not missing much though, i would rather go to SEMA than the Auto salon.

Jinja - I will be heading down there tonight to discuss the details

HighBoost - I am going to be doing a group buy probably on the rear wing visor thingy, side scoops, and fenders starting pretty soon, like this weekend.

Jinja · 01-18-2007, 07:14 PM

Phoenix, any news bud?

PHOENIX · 01-18-2007, 09:47 PM

sorry, been home sick for the past week. If i feel better by tomorrow, and i get my car going tomorrow morning, ill head down there. Right now my ride is unreliable till i can figure out what is wrong with it.
