Everyone I have talked to that is into cars in Okinawa just randomly stumbles into parts for their cars. How does that work?

Cars are much different over here there is parts at your disposal and there is a store called upgarage which is pretty much a performance parts pawn shop. i guess its all about who you know to i was at the auto hobby shop one day and this guy that owns a FD came up to me and was like i used to have a FC. I ended up getting two doors two fenders a front mount two gauge clusters spare headlight assembly turbo 2 aluminum hood efini seat and full 3" turbo back for 500 bucks and random guys will just come up and offer parts as well i wish i could stay but im only here till 2012

I'm on honshu, north of TOkyo, and never had anything similar happen. Guess I just don't spend enough time at upgarage, or I need a better car to bring there.

Yeah I have FC sometimes it looks black but it is dark green. Hopefully I get it painted in the next few months. The owner before me had painted the car and did not do a good job, and the clear coat is all kinds of pealing.

Welcome Oki. Hey guys I am a newbie as well and have a 88 10th Anniversary. I see all these references to a FC or a FD. What the heck does it mean? By the way my tag says an FC on my car.

I have CST Zero 1 full titanium 3 inch cat back, and a sports cat and 3 inch down pipe. it is a little loud when the lights are on and idle up to around 1000. but not so bad when its around 800 rpm. Right now Im converting my Cosmo to 5 speed and installing haltech at Hansen Typhoon motors. if you ever free on the weekends Im there most of the time working on the cars.
