Re:going to japan...
 

look at it this way...

we throw away or throw in the junkyard an old 350 right...or it can be purchased for really cheap in a junkyard....

well...in japan for them the B16 or sr20det or rb26 is is there 350.

plus...once a car reasches 30K miles they have to pay a tax on the car. the tax is usally around $2,000 so the japs say ---- it, just get a new car, and the perfectly good car goes to the junkyard. this is how it is intended, how the japanese economy is set up. and it works.

kinda hard to explain over the net.

and JDM craze, its not called jdm in japan, its the way it is.kinda like usdm, its just the way it is here.
we try to accomplish what they do over there.

and also, if you arent running 12sec in a 1/4 mile in japan, your car isnt ----. ;)

Re:going to japan...
 

ummm, isn't that the same over here? :-\ a 13 sec car isn't exactly impressive no matter where you are.

Re:going to japan...
 

havent you head marines stories....from thiland. $5 will get exactly what you described for all night long. ;)

and whitey:
13sec around here is fast.

and ibby:
you can come visit me in japan, buy your car, and then take it home with you.
as long as you have it set up with a registered importer in the states, customs will not give you any ----...
yes, its that easy. (not that easy but you get what im sayin)

anyone can come visit me and take home whatever they want. :-*

Re:going to japan...
 

how much do you think it would cost to ship a b16 swap here? if you can get the swap for $500 or less like ive heard it should be cheaper than buying it from an importer over here

Re:going to japan...
 

maybe to the person running the 13's, but that's about it ;)

Re:going to japan...
 

Says who?? This kind of mentality is what gives imports bad names. :-\ 13's are not fast.


12's are quick
11's are respect
10's are fast

Re:going to japan...
 

even if i could get a b16 for $1000 shipped, it would be cheaper. ;) the down side, i would have th break the motor down and ship it that way. :-\

someone i worked with said, "since I love the import cars so much, i will make a killing fixing peoples cars on the weekends because no one trusts someone who they cant relay with when working on there car" -makes sense.

Re:going to japan...
 

i agree with whitey.

but low 13s is quick,
12s are fast
11s are respect
10s are crazy
anything lower is sexual
