I Think I'm Turning Japanese

[EVLE30]

I dont' blame the OP for going with an FRS. It's the modern-day equivalent to the e30! (but safer and more fuel efficient ;))

My thoughts exactly!

They were not common in Northern Japan. The ones I did see were Tech II 320i and were automatics. Autos in Japan were very common.

Court do you see any Mini Cooper Clubman like this? I debate getting another fun car but would do a Honda Vtec drivetrain in it.

Greg Did you ever see this one we drove out to CT>>??? Had a saab V6 stuffed in it. about 220hp. it was ridiculous. torque steer would pull you right into a ditch if you wernt on top of it

I hate you. I haven't even opened this thread until now to tell you that seeing this pop up repeatedly in the new posts search has caused me to replay that stupid song over and over in my head since yesterday.

Thinking that might be next fun car, I had one for 5 months while I was at Misawa with a honda engine and it was fun.

^^ I've seen a couple running around, but it was always in passing.

I live in Japan and e30s are in abundance here if you know where to look.

They have a billion domestics there to drift with, so they don't touch European shit. E30 is more for status than fun there.

^^This. Lived here in an out since 1993 and haven't seen any e30s drifting. Track yes.

It is a small island so most cars would have low mileage compared to cars from the states, but that does not mean the cars are not driven hard. Drifting is huge in Japan right now and you know how hard they rev those cars. You would be safer buying cars from this continent.

OP needs to read rules and consolidate his 4 threads about buying an E30 into 1.

[EVLE30]

I read both threads and at the end its a scion...ugh

Wow yeah I've been following these theads... and it ends in a scion?

You were gonna pay out the ass to have a car brought over from japan?

$3000 and a plane ticket to california would've landed you exactly what you thought you were looking for.

But hey congrats on getting a car!

Heh I was gonna offer my e30

Yeah, I was getting tired of the shopping around for a good E30. So I went with the FR-S instead. And I'm having a blast with it so far. But as my car stable grows, there may be room for an E30 in the future. ;)

[E30_Pare]

there was a japanese e30 drift club on youtube years back.. cant find the vid. there was decently large meet with 40ish e30s in a lot and like 10 or so doing donuts in the middle.
