DUde I don't know if you have ever left your state let alone the US. But, ask anybody that has been stationed in Japan or lived there and those cars that make you Jealous are a dime a dozen over there. I didn't pay more than $5,000 for any of those cars. The japanese have a rich economy and one way they keep it that way is by buying new cars every so many years. They do not buy used merchandise. I am assuming your talking about Fast and the Furious 3. Which is the crappiest movie ever. Tokyo is not like that at all. It's a big americanized city just like the rest of Japan. But anyway Japan was awesome and if anybody needs any JDM parts I still have friends stationed over there and I can probably get the parts.

Here are two of my previous rides (well, I still have the Warrior)

Other than that, I've had an '87 Toyota 22R 4wd on 33x10.50's (it was a rusted POS, but fun as all holy hell), I had a '93 Buick Skylark with the 2.4L SOHC, 4v/cyl, a 1972 VW SuperBeetle (still have it too) which has no motor at the time being (no time to finish the build ). There have been a few other crappers in there that were used solely for entertainment purposes on a Saturday night.

The cars over there are so easy to fix up. There are parts for them everywhere. Plus I like the turbo better than the supercharger. It suck buying a new pulley for a SC and then getting it tuned when a boost controller off of ebay will do wonders for the turbos especially the EVO's. i would like to say one thing about that movie that is right. The cops always have there lights on so you can see them from a mile away and they will not chase you if means they will be breaking the law.

They really don't have crime over there except, Yakuza. Which I never heard stories about or saw in my 3+ years there. I caught the English joke as well. My first name is Larry. So they mess my name all up. It ends up sounding like jouwy. LOL.
