    Like I said earlier, if I can find any 3Gee parts, in bulk or otherwise. I wouldn't object to organizing a group buy or something.

    Gas runs between 4 & 5 USD PER gallon. The cheap stuff is like 96 RON which is like 93 Octane or something like that. It can get really pricey. But since I have the luxury of living over here courtesy of the US Gov't ( read: USAF) the gas station here on base sells 93 octane for about $2.23 US per gallon. Sometimes I like to run 100 RON though in my Supra. I go through about a 1 tank per week or so. That cost's me about $35-40 US per week.

    You mean Yokota-Kichi or Fussa? I used to live in Higashi-Yamato which is only 30 min drive from there.

    When I was there, they had autocross meeting periodically at Yokota. Do they still do that?

    When I had my Civic I picked up a P08 for around a 100 bucks. Is it auto or manual trans?
