whoa! I didn't expect this type of response.... For the record, I now live in Japan working for da U.S. Marine Corps. Once I am able to leave base, I'll start my search for junkyards and Honda dealers to see what I can get how prices. I guess I'll need to find a good friend out in town. But yeah, I'll be here for 2 years and when I go back to the states, I get a 5000 lbs "allowance" to ship "household goods" for free. So you can bet I'll take advantage of that. Once I get my computer from the States, I'll post some pics of the cars here... like the R33 I saw today or the RX-8 sitting in front of my barracks. Also, there is a Skyline GTS that someone is selling for $2500 that I think I'll get just so I can say that I've own a Skyline.... Well until next time.....

Well i hooked up with some guys I went to school with back in the States and I think we are all going out this weekend (they've been here for bout 2 months). I was doin some searchin on the Honda Japan website and didn't see an RS model for the new 7th gen style or HIDs for it either. But I did find a list of dealers in the Hiroshima and Iwakuni areas so I'm gonna have to check them out sometime to see prices...

No the HID's are not stock but when the 7th gen came out in 2001, it was an option (I remember seeing them on the site). I don't know if the 04+ have that option but when I go out in town to the dealer I will ask. I did see a dealer today and caught a quick glace at a Civic Type-R as the train passed it..... Nice..... I'll keep ya'll posted so you know when I actually locate parts for the cars... Got a 4 day weekend supposedly neext weekend so that should net me some parts or prices....

I would think these would be pretty popular, considering there aren't any aftermarket options. You could probably make a good amount of spending cash by selling these online and shipping them back to the states. I'd be interested to know what those would cost.

not true.... i won't find and rear body parts for the EM2. Other then that, headlights and engine stuff is all the same

My MOS is 5954, Marine Air Traffic Control Communications Technician.... A fancy way of saying that I fix radio's to the component level as well as phone and intercoms for the Tower....

Til next time!
