i know a guy with a nice mark 2 and hes moving to okinawa pretty soon. im not sure if he has his car modded at all engine-wise (im pretty sure he does) and i told him i could find him a few 7s to race once he gets there (you guys) and he said hed like to race you guys if your up to it. hes also thinking about upping the horsepower to 7-800 whp, but hes not sure cause the car is his daily driver.

Jerk_Racer 08-10-2003 03:52 AM

So, where is this mark 2? Already in Japan or in the U.S.? When you say "mark 2", what do you mean? A mark 2 Golf, Supra, Celica, or what? Did he actually say 700~800 but was unsure about daily drivability? I say the guy is a dumbass. He might have a fast car, but he doesn't know jack as of yet. But this is just by going with what you wrote.

He'll have to keep up with the 700 rwhp Pissed off Yellow FD and the 700 rwhp Beau powered FC... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

if you try to race him to the post office you'll still lose! jk

Eric Happy Meal 08-10-2003 02:16 PM


One last thing though, I'm still debating if I want to do some engine work before I leave to go there. If I go ahead with the project, it will be around 7 or 800hp, so I'm not sure if I want to do it. It won't be that much of an everyday driver anymore. Now it is perfect. We'll see


is what he said. the car is called a mark 2. it has a 2jz in it...

FDokinawa 08-10-2003 02:54 PM

If its in the states and already has mods... he's going to have a tough time getting it into japan.. that importing pain in the ass works both ways. Its not that bad in japan.. but he has the whole language thing to contend with. And contrary to rumors.. there are emission laws there.



Oh..and im sure he'll have fun looking at the ass ends of a lot of RX-7 while he's over there..

Eric Happy Meal 08-10-2003 04:35 PM

o whups hes allready in japan. i dunno, his car is very capable.

Looks like a skyline

Ranzo 08-10-2003 07:51 PM


Looks like a skyline


have you ever seen a skyline. Looks like at damn Toyota Mark II to me.





Probably is an automatic. what part of Japan did he come from, I never seen that car in the Tokyo area before.

Eric Happy Meal 08-10-2003 10:42 PM

id ahev to ask....so ill go do that.

FDokinawa 08-10-2003 11:00 PM

Yep definatly looks like a Mark II to me.. Well I was planning on saying some stuff about how he'll never be able to get 700hp out of that..and why. But I dont feel like argueing about it. So tell him I said good luck!!

Eric Happy Meal 08-11-2003 12:47 AM

i think he was gonna get a kit from http://suprastore.com/45suppac.html



it all fits under there too.hed just need to use his own piping.

Eric Happy Meal 08-11-2003 04:47 PM


I am all the way up north in Japan in a small town called Misawa. It is in the Aomori region. It's mostly a farm area but there is a military base there too.



My car is a 5 speed.


he says.

toddp31 08-12-2003 05:30 PM

That is Rob's car, it has alot of **** done to it. It has a 2j with a t-78. To bad he can't drive it, no JCI. Good lucky getting it to pass. I will race him if he ever drives it.

Rutt 08-13-2003 02:52 AM

I smell a dynoQUEEN!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif

toddp31 08-13-2003 08:50 PM

He said he bought the car for 10k and then put 10k into the body kit! What a waste of money, you could buy two nice fds with that.

jspecracer7 08-14-2003 08:21 AM

definitely a Mark II. Poor guy has a dyno queen by the looks of it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Eric Happy Meal 08-14-2003 07:12 PM

meh its just about doing what you like. and from the looks of it he likes his car so i guess he wins... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

FDokinawa 08-15-2003 12:57 PM

well I guess its just the fact that we dont worry about the whole "my car is faster than your car!" BS on okinawa.. no one really cares. If someone beats you you say good race and its all good. I got my ass handed to me a few times.. just gave them the thubs up and waved.

Dragon 08-15-2003 01:39 PM

lol.. tell him Dragon say's to "BRING IT!".... while calmly shaking his keys... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



Hell we'll all go out there and race him and he'll have a blown engine by the time he gets 1/2 way threw all the cars we've got lined up for him...

Don't know about that, my car is a daily driver and I bet I can move threw traffic in my FD way better than he can in the boat... Now if he still has the A/C in his car at least he will be able to lose comfortably..

Rutt 08-16-2003 04:58 AM

Just what Okinawa needs....



Another dynoqueen with a wack-ass body kit https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

Speaking of 750hp Dyno Queens... Did I tell you guys I raced Nari (sp?) in the gold JZ70 Supra?



I beat him til about halfway through fourth gear, then he walked me for a car length and let up...



Supposedly he's got 750hp at the wheels.



https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif





I'm just thankful that we couldn't go to fifth gear because of the road... He would've wasted me in fifth (and his sixth)

Dragon 09-01-2003 04:25 AM

yea, that extra 900lbs of car makes a big diffrence in HP to weight ratio.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Stupid heavy cars...
