here i can help you bro first off ,are you a marine and what rank

if so getting a POV license is getting harder if you are not sgt or have a family dont even bother because u aint getting one

to find a rx7 in oki is like trying to buy someones pride and joy, it will be difficult but if you go to the air force base there KADENA you should find one or two but the chances that they were beat on are 99% to 1 and the price will be americanized big time

over here we can get a fd between 13k-20k a fc 1200-5000 but over there fc3s go between 600-1500 beat up and fd 3000-9000 ok condition

its possible if you get to know someone who know japanese and english because they can get u a good 7 ship it over to oki under their name and when it arrives have them transfer the car to you legally by buying it

transport last time i remember was 1300 from mainland to okinawa

you are in the airforce you are ******* set bro just wait till you get there go to the LEMON lot you will def find a 3rd gen in there

i was there for over 2 and half years all i drove was 180sx and r32 skylines bro my daily was a mazda sentia vip

in my opinion its not worth it keep your 7 go over there buy something you will never have in the states and save money so when u get back you are set for an fd or better make a badass fc

If you want a 20B I have a friend who has several for sale and he also owns a 20B FC. I'll tell him to post something when he has time.

Put that FC or yours in storage. Go with an FD over here. FC's are far and few between. Parts are getting harder to find by the day.

Everyone has thier own version of decent...

Everything rusts really bad here, you are better off getting one from the mainland uss auctions but the down side to that is buying sight unseen.

But who knows there are probobly at least some good ones for sale here.
