Japan's Members List
Welcome to the Japan's regional forum 
. Since the beginning, a Japan members list has never really been established, let alone, an S2KI community here in Japan. There's definately an S2000 population and I think starting from here we can get a little sense of a community going on.
Not sure if S2K owners here in Japan are organized in other forums, but we definately should keep s2ki.com the central point of communication because of the already well established international community we have here
I'd also like to extend this to the non-Japan owners/members in the countries here in and around Asia; I know you're out there.
Seeing as there are only a handful of active members here Japan, building our community will be a difficult task, however we all gotta start somewhere and hopefully later... later, we may be able to have organized meets and group events/funtions. It will require help from all of you to participate and stay active, but should be benficial and rewarding experience where we can help each other out with our cars, news, advice, etc, (i'm getting the KW SC and will need help installing it just fyi).
These are some of my intentions for us... so let's see where it goes
If you have any ideas or opinions on how you think we should run this better, please chime in and let me know. As for now, just so we can all get a feel of who's who/where... if there's even Japan members here.. lol, if you guys can post up a little about yourselves, that would be awesome. I'll start with myself:

Hello everyone. I just sold my S2000 to please the wife while I am here so I will have to wait to get one in the States. Now I have a MB SLK 350 because she wanted to ride with a convertible and couldnt drive a stick shift. Not anywhere near the driveablilty of the S2000 and I can not wait to get back into one.

Synergism, welcome to the Japanese Community.
Finally this forum gets a permanent CO. It was fun for me up to this day, to be around and help out. I hope all the best in your new task.
PS: So from now on you will assign the Japanese badges, right?

I know it must be tough trying to manage two seperate regions at the same time and still do a great job. Hope it takes a little load off your shoulders now and I guess we'll see what happens from here. I'm sure I'll still be coming to you with a lot of questions though
Yep that's affirmative on the badges

Hey Ralph
At the recent Euromeet, we had Uehara San (The chief designer of the S2000
) present, and his interpreter, Yamamoto San. (He also helped test it when it was released)
Yamamoto was so blown away by the S2000 on those roads in Italy, that the day he got home, he ordered a new S2000
I hope he comes along here and joins the Japanese Community
