    Hey peeps
    So this is my new thread and new life (if you want to say that) in Japan. I lived here before I joined STS, so I'm pretty familiar with it already.

    I'm living in a new house that I'm renting in Yashio, Saitama prefecture, Tokyo. It's the perfect size for me and has enough space for 2-3 cars. I've put a deposit of V$2,000 for rent so it should keep that payed for a while.

    So my newish cars is *drum-roll*

    A 1994 Nissan 180SX
    boooo that's boring everyone has one

    Yes 180SX's are very common but there is a reason for that too. I bought it for V$6,200, it has no dangerous rust (hence the price), sorta faded paint, 4 teardrops with fucked tires, 1 has a puncture and it's n/a manual. It has a unknown cone air filter and some fake Mishimoto radiator. It's a chuki, and it's my new project/daily car.

    So I called up Renaruto and we went to pick it up. (~thanks Renaruto). At first it wouldn't start, but after a quick jump it started up. It smelled a bit mouldy because it's been sitting for so long, but its nothing I can't clean up.




    After this we cruised to my local UpGarage in Nerima to buy a new tire to replace the punctured one. It cost me V$65 for it and V$25 for petrol. I will be getting plates after I put it through sha-ken again since it was unregistered.
    It seems to be running fine for now; it definitely needs fluids changed though.



    This is all for now, I'm still jet lagged as fuck and surprised I haven't passed out as I'm writing this. More stuff will be happening tomorrow though, when I can actually function.


    (yes I made these maps for people wondering, it's why they look bad.)
