If you were to move to Japan...

[Tetsugen]

What car would you buy ? Currently caught up between a S15 Spec-R or a RX7 Spirit-R but curious to see what you guys would pick up from the '02-'05 era.

[Sorath]

r34 gtr

[BigMass]

If you have ever driven in Yokohama/Tokyo you would realize those cars would be a total waste. I'd own nothing bigger than a Honda Fit or Mini. In Japan i've driven 2 way roads that were as wide as an R34

This is a very simple question, dont need to over analyze professor, WHY SO SERIOUS



R34 Skyline GTR for me

[ShermanEF9]

+1 on the R34 GTR.

Or for fun a real EK9

[MidnightSpecial]

Renaultsport Clio (or Lutecia in J land) V6
Alfa Romeo 147 GTA
Fiat 500 Abarth Esse Esse
Fiat Coupe 20VT
Ford Escort Cosworth
Audi S3

Oh, and the new Ford Focus RS if Japan is getting it too.

[mowglee]

honda integra

[drewb]

S15 Spec-R for sure.

[pf0sh0]

toyotal tercel rhd;)

[Gabe182]

R34 V spec

[jdmSiR]

Chevrolet Avalanche

[HiSpec]

Honda Stream RSZ or Forester STi

[SRT10Killer]

most likely a RHD hummer so I can take up the whole road

[thinmyster]

Absolutely. :hitit:

[A790]

Mazda Autozam AZ-1

[n1zm0]

if i had no care for financial issues it'd be an S15 with a Tomei SR22 or RB28.

If the unbelievable tax list of automobile tax, car weight tax, car aquisition tax, parking certificate, 2 year sha'ken inspection, the money to repair/replace up to sha'ken inspections, nostalgic/sports car tax, plain old insurance/registration fees and average $2 cdn/liter fuel mattered as it does for the majority of japanese civvies then it'd be an 05 Vitz RS, Turbo of course:D

[zachattack54]

I would have to go with a DC2R. Love those cars.

:rofl: :rofl:

R34 GTR for sure. That car is just so...legendary. I think I would actually take the R34 over a new one.

[ercchry]

giant vip'd out benz with a driver :bigpimp:

[88jbody]

I would import a USDM mk4 or a C6 z06.

[KuruptEX]

S15 Spec R FTMFW

[schocker]

Lancer EVO VI TME, or R34 GT-R of course.

[Tram Common]

When I lived in japan, one day while on business in Sendai I saw a white guy driving the most plain-jane black Ford F150...

...and it stood out more than anything.

I'd rock some sort of old school American muscle or a low-rider if I ever go back.

I had a very done up MKIV Toyota Supra to drive for a few weeks while I was there and I didn't get any looks at all...it was just too common.

...but an F150...damn, it stood out like a Maserati.

[GQBalla]

S15

[psycoticclown]

Probably a R34 GTR V-spec

or a Veilside RX7.

But if I had all the money in the world... probably something absolutely outrageous like a Pagani Zonda R or that new 599XX... who am I kidding though, those would be my cars anywhere though:D

[KRyn]

Nismo 400R

[96integra]

S15 Spec R and R34 GTR V - Spec!

[badatusrnames]

Must have been an American serviceman. I believe they get their cars shipped out to wherever they are stationed...

[strong]

Would this get as much attention as the F-150?

[Trini]

Subaru 22B & Evo VI TME

[AE92_TreunoSC]

lol I probably wouldnt bother getting a car.

If I had to it would probably be cheap small and boring, like a Vitz.

Or I'd go crazy and get a WS6 firebird and supercharge it.

What he said, i prolly wouldn't bother. Have to have a parking spot before you are even allowed to buy a car. And to whoever said that they wouldn't get a fast car cuz driving in japan sucks, yah if your driving in the city only, outside of the city its a blast. I drove a small Nissan something rather for 3 days in Okinawa, what a blast, and when you get to the highway it's even more fun. I love the roads in Japan, so well maintained and smooth.

I might be moving to Japan in a few years (still undecided, depends on how my career progresses) and I will most likely not get a car, since the train system is amazing and the inspections are crazy. My wife (japanese) told me that the older the car gets the more frequent the inspections, and they are not cheap (1k +)

[pattyt]

s15 spec r or r34 .... id probably kill myself making the choice.

[PatrickSponge]

Why, I'd buy a Toyota Cavalier of course:

Try upwards of 2-3K depending on what it is being inspected, and not in every prefecture are you require to show proof of a parking spot in order to purchase a vehicle...

...just most of them.

I'd be tempted to rock one of these, probably the Ayumi Hamasaki special :thumbsup: :
