Default Hi! from Japan

Hello,

Let me introduce myself shortly here since s2ki is the main S2000 knowledgebase for me which I actually use quite often. I am currently living in Japan but originally from the Netherlands. The second day after I arrived in Japan I bought an s2000, ofcourse I did some in-dept carsearching and research before I went there. I only have had 5 cars before, 3x Toyota MR2 SW20 (2x N/A 3SGE, 1x V6 swapped), a GT86 and a 3dr Toyota Yaris/Vitz (below some pics of the cars). I wanted a different brand than Toyota and I always liked the S2000 a bit. Therefore I thought, let's try. However, since I have it, my enthusiasm has grown a lot

Anyway, it is a 2002 Type-V model. Almost stock except for Mugen Hardtop, Bilstein coilover and some aftermarket wheels. Enjoy the pics.

My very first car



My 2nd MR2



My 3rd MR2




And the car I drove before I went to Japan.



And ofcourse the S2000.

Where about in Japan? I lived there for 3 years and my wife is still there waiting for her US Visa. I was about an hour outside of the center of Tokyo, Just barely into the Kanagawa Prefecture.

Are you in Toyota? (seeing from your registration plate).

I work and stay in Nagoya, but unfortunately my s2000 stays back at home so I don't get to see it that often. Always nice to see an s2000 here in Japan. Not too common to see them!

I indeed live in Toyota, you probably can also guess then for which company I work Anyway, it's close to Nagoya.

Not so big plans, just a new single exit exhaust to make a bit more noise
And maybe plastidip the wheels black if they have plastidip around here.

Mainly I am using the car to go for a good drive in the weekends in the mountains and from time to time drive it on the circuit.
