So in 2007 i bought an AP1, and in 2010 I moved to Japan. I have been here for 3 years now, with 1 year left. I have not once returned to the states and my car is in hibernation in my dad's garage. (a few old photo's of my car Flickr Album )

Since 2010 what's been going on around here? Are S2000's still competitive in time attack? New companies selling us stuff we don't need? Whats cool now? Talk to me. I miss this place.

 

This is cool now

 

You're in Japan... What's popular there, is popular here...

 

Not in my book.

Not true either.

 

 

I'm surrounded by stanced european economy cars with fartcannons, stickerbombs and jdm decals. I'm slowly going mad. That's what's apparently cool in europe.

 

x2 hahah

 

Stretched and hella flush is all the rage.

The cars are still respectable at the track. Most of the competition from 2003-2007 has surpased the S in power and lap times. But I doubt you're looking to get a GTR or Cayman S, but if you are they will out drive an S.

 

Here in japan it's very diverse. You see a little bit of everything. drifting ratty slammed 4-doors with hideous bulky aero is the current rage. Cars like the Laurel, Mark II, Chaser, Cefiro, and Cresta just to name a few.

There is a push by Mark @ Fatlace to get a hellaflush thing going but VIP has been a style here for years. They tend to keep the 20's and -10' cambers on the big body saloons and vans(Honda offers an insanely cool Odysey van here) . Fwd is also still cool here. A nascar inspired EK9 resides not far from base, it's pretty awesome.

 

Your kidding me! A $50k Porsche and a $70k GTR will out perform my $20k honda built 12 years ago?? That's completely absurd!
