View Full Version : Just thought I would say hello

Been digging around and finally made my way in here.

My name is Marc, and I am living in Japan.
I have been here since 1993 and hope to stay longer, Navy willing.

I have owned 2 S13 Silvia's
First was  CA18DE with an automatic
Second was a CA18DE 5 speed, later swapped everything to a CA18DET
Then sold the CA18DET Silvia and bought a A31 Cefiro with RB20DET, sold that last month, kid who bought it wrecked it a day later....

Now I have a 1994 RPS13 180SX.  So I am no stranger to these cars, but I like to see what everyone is up to with theirs.

Hope to be around some in here.

Hey Marc!
Its funny, seems like a lot of the Velocity guys are migrating over here <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  Good to have u, there's a STRONG need for knowledgable people here to fight back the swells of ricer-influenced ignorance that is growing here at Zilvia :/

Hope ya stick around!

Haha....just bored as hell at the office today (on a sunday) and surfing for all things 240/180sx.

Noticed a few boneheads already....too be expected I guess <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/dozingoff.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':zzz:'>

How's your ride coming?  You gonna fix her or replace her?

OH! all fixed! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  I think there might be a VERY slight tweak in the frame tho :/  In any case, I'm getting one with a better body condition and 5-spd to do my swap on... just looking to find the right car... it's hard now that all the stupid ricer mags think that silvia's are the shit (well they are, but i WAS a secret...)  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>  So I'll have a commuter 240 (or more likely will give it to the wife, cuz she likes it), and a SR powered ichi-go <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Whattup, Redstage? And whattup, Yoshi? It's Redhead from the Velocity boards...

It's weird that I've been checking this board more often than the Velocity board... Just to see what I can laugh at!!!

Good luck on finding your next car, Yoshi. I'm sure your wifey will enjoy the "gift" when you find the next one!

I just heard that Misawa has lost another 180SX last night... A taxi ran a light and smashed him from the side... Totalled, from what I hear... Driver was cut up, bruised, and passenger was okay... The taxi driver? Who cares? I don't...

The thing I don't get is that the 180 ended up in a house... That must have been some impact, I must say...
