Greetings from across the Pacific

My name is Jason, and I am currently a teacher in Japan. I drive a car that looks like this

http://www.japaneseauctions.co.uk/wa...8845d97360034a

and it's got probably 40 hp.

Let me tell you it sucks. I want something that doesn't get run over when I get home. I have been looking at some 3S stuff, and F-bodies. Hopefully by April, I will have enough info to get me a car purchased, and the mod list ready to go.

Welcome to the site and awesome to hear the interest in REAL cars (my opinion)... I dont know about Japan, but within the EU there are some issues with bringing over cars... In Finland you cant bring a car newer than 97 unless its brought as a "moving vehicle" meaning you lived elsewhere and used the car there for at least 6 months. Some vehicles need to have modifications to the lighting and so forth (hard to get headlights which arent cheap), etc... Also tax over here is something that should not be forgotten. But like I said I dont know about Japan, just stuff to keep in mind however.
