Okinawa, Tight cars

Ok, Im currently in Okinawa, on TDY for the reserves. There are some sickass cars here, mostly Skylines and some kinda hatchbacks from toyota ive never seen before. It seems like every one has turbos here. Im going to some street races this weekend and im hopin to see some real japan street cars that are quick. Hondas are not that popular, but nissians and mazdas are the cars to have. The active duty guys are spoutin off turbo #'s and specs that you guys would understand, im totaly lost. One guy is suggesting that I bring back a complete motor and sell it in the states for 3 to 4 grand, and buy it here for 300 bucks. And driftin is super popular here, I think ill pass on that. Ill try to get some pics up when I get back later on this month. l

Yeah i was over in okinawa 2 years ago. I had some orion also. Its aite but american breweries r vastly superior to japanese ones. There r also some kick *** cars over there. I was out by the coast and say this silvia going like 100 weaving along the winding coast road. It was one of the most beautiful sites i hav ever seen.

Ok, didnt make it to the drifts, but I made it out to the drag races. OMFG, These cars are freakin sick. These active duty guys were sayin, Z28's and vetts couldent touch these cars, and I was like Yea right, but I saw it for my self. These cars are no joke over here. I didnt see one honda, mostly skylines, a few silvias and RX7's and no NOS. I'll ask about the K20 motors for ya.
