Hi People,

Would just like to introduce myself. I've just bought myself a nice little S15 in Japan. Am keeping it until December next year when I'm going to take it back to Melbourne (sorry!) as a personal import.

Was wondering if this was an active forum, as there seem to be few decent aussie silvia forums, and have some questions and want to get involved in the community.

Anyway, my mate owns a D1 team (Ziek) so I might be able to get some discounts for group buys. I also work at Recaro Japan (although I cant get discounts) and live 2ks from a Super Autobacs, so let me know if there is anything you need.

Pick the car up next week (hopefully this saturday!) but here are a few pics from the dealer.

Nice to meet you all,

-D

I seem to have an upload limit of 1byte, so no pics for now. Sorry!

Hi mate,

The forum is still active, just a little slow lately.

We can fix up the upload limit, i just don't have a stable enough connection to do it atm

Welcome to the forums. You are in Kyoto are you? I went to the SuperAutobacs in Kyoto when I was there (that was a long walk from the Shinkansen station!). From memory it had an openwheel racecar in the foyer at the time.

Great! Looks like it works! Thanks badhairdave.

I spoke to the shop today, might be able to get it on Saturday. The red tape in Japan is insane, i bought it over a month ago!

Will put up some more pics and a mod list once i get it - and get my internet sorted as I'm "borrowing" from a neighbour right now.

Looks good! By the looks of those stickers it's got some good mods hiding under all the rice :)
