Come on out for a week or two man! I told you I got you on everything, just buy a roundtrip ticket and I cover the rest. :bigok:
you wont have to worry about hotel or food if you chill at my house and I got you on all your transportation and worring about where to go for fun so it will be a VERY affordable trip. Take advantage of it while the oppourtunity is avail.

[LayNLow]

Damn, if someone offered me that and I had the money for a ticket I would not think twice about it.

[A31CEFIRO]

[simplistek]

lol. thanks for the offer but im good. my hatch is nice and safe in my garage.

Seriously what an offer! Elgene you better go!

seriously man... i'm trying to. too many expenses and too much going on. I'm not going to be free till spring break!

[dino6192]

spring is cool too! weather should be better than the winter anyways. unless your cool with Touge + snow!

[yokotavia]

winter touge is better anyways! because they pull the cats-eyes up for snow plowing.

and if you get lucky enough to be there while theres still snow, its 100x better haha

[A31CEFIRO]

They don't do that in hakone. But cooler weather keeps the motor happy!

[yokotavia]

shittt, well they did it in this mountain area called okutama, kinda close to yokota. it was sooo dopeee

[yokotas13]

his car was too gangster. haha
debatable. but regardless

yeah, i chilled on my cima due to the commander

[A31CEFIRO]

shittt, well they did it in this mountain area called okutama, kinda close to yokota. it was sooo dopeee

Maybe some of us from Atsugi will come over there to play when the cats eyes are gone. But we will have to meet off base I know they won't let my car on.

[yokotavia]

grant: kens car is the definition of gangster. that shit perfect and he actually uses it

and cefiro: just hit up ken or takeru dude, im not in japan anymore lol
they know the spots near yokota

[A31CEFIRO]

cool Kens always at the Atsugi hobby shop now. He's making his own wing now. Looks pretty good so far.

[yokotavia]

yeah man...thats how ken does haha, he made his own dart izumi exhaust.
u see that shit? rtv and hose clamps.........hahaha and it doesnt leak

[A31CEFIRO]

Did you see the pvc piping he used after he installed his RB-25 DET? It worked until he got his intercooler. Yea and his exaust is the shit. It motivated me to install a fence post. Damb its loud.

[yokotavia]

yeah! hahaha he drove that shit to big bang and yokota a few times man...haha

[A31CEFIRO]

I saw Ken at the Atsugi Auto Hobby Shop last night he is still working on his custom wing its coming out pretty good.

[jspec240]

Is Chris Connely still there?? his 180 was always low and loud.. I was at yokota from 01 to 03 when the gymkhana was still there... too bad they took that away. I really misssss Japan.. I hear only Tech sergents and above are allowed to move off base now. can you still store the "drift only" cars at the hobby shop? my inactive reserve time is up now so I cant stay at the Kanto or get a hop :hs: well alls well ends well. still drifting over here in cali tho ;)

[yokotavia]

yeah chris is still there. HAHA hes had sooo many cars, his last car was a dope kouki 14. he crashed it one night at okutama so we swapped all his shit to a zenki s14 which he drives now. and its just as badass

gymkhana wasnt anything,before i left everyone finally discovered that ebisu circuit was awesome as fuck. and now everyone goes there too. and yeah you can rent a stall at the hobby shop for like 35$ a month. lol

and yeah only tech sergents unless you were living offbase before the rule came out

[JapanS15]

I was stationed at Yokota from 01-04. I miss that base. I'm up at Misawa now and its nothing like it is down there. I recently visited Yokota back in August and I must say that the things/improvements are very nice.

[yokotavia]

misawa/aomori area has some dope touge though, me and a few friends visited and scoped out tons of spots when it was covered in snow.
we were in his light-ace van
hahahah

[dino6192]

so what do you guys say about setting up a track day between us just for fun? we can all get a good chance to meet eachother and maybe BBQ or something at the track. PM me if you guys are down.

[liv2drift045]

theres a skid pad (cones) track day at fuji on the 18th of november that i plan to attend

theres one at fuji short course on the 10th of november but im not gonna make that one

[A31CEFIRO]

I'll be at the short course on the 10th. and a couple more of us also.
to bad you cant make it.

[Slidin' Sam]

wow, this turned into a thread about Ken for a bit. Yokota keeps getting worse as far as being anti-cars. We have been trying to get another track day together before it gets too cold (IE ebisu gets snowed the fuck out) but due to base exercises/grip matsuri and some of us going to Okinawa for a bit, along with the holidays, I'm not sure if/when it will happen. Dewayne...get your ass out here already!

[A31CEFIRO]

If you want to come to fuji driftpark let me know i can get you guys on with us.
Check out YPLATEDRIFTING if you get a chance. We have events until mid Jan so far.

[Slidin' Sam]

good stuff man, i just took a quick look at your website. I have never heard of it before and I am pretty sure that none of the other Yokota Drifters have either...seeing how I know all the people who actually drift on this base. Looks like you guys go to Fuji alot? We always go to Ebisu. We head up about once a month and stay for two days. I may come down to Atsugi one of these weekends to work on my car...I hear they are more friendly towards lowered/loud/whatever cars there?

[A31CEFIRO]

They don't even bother us here. Ken found a new home here. Fuji is only an hour away. But I have been to Mobara and Nikko. Tell you buddies to get on our site. We post all the track days we are hitting in advance. Axis Auto helps us get into events even if they are already full. Plus the host there own events also.

[Slidin' Sam]

I may head down there next saturday if we don't go to ebisu fri/sat. I am going to Okinawa for a week next sunday. sounds good...none of us here want to mess with Yokota Auto Hobby. They called the cops on a guy putting a test pipe in his car last week and they are now inspecting (jci style) peoples cars before you can work on your car there...and aparently you have to pay for the inspection too. Yokota AutoHobby = FAIL.

Holly crap sounds like trying to get your car worked on at autobaks. If they did that in atsugi they would have to close down. We are all there buisness..... I will be at the hobby shop on sat. they close early on sat though. They open at 1000 and close at 5:00. the rest of the week is 1:00 till 9:00.

[Slidin' Sam]

Yeah, I wouldn't be suprised if the auto hobby here goes down after a while. People are pulling their cars out of storage now. Without the presence of a drift community, there will be very little income for them. Is the the AH at Atsugi open on sundays? What are their rates? Have you been over to Zama?...how is their AH?

[A31CEFIRO]

Yea Atsugi's hobby shop is open on sundays. 2 dollars an hour for a lift. 2 dollars a piece to swap tires. Zama is cool also the rates are higher. But the people are cool but they only have 2 lifts. not sure about the rates.

[dino6192]

that sucks yokota isnt so well right now, its all good though. winter is here so that will give you time to chill and get your cars ready over the next couple cold ass months, even if you have to take a little farther trip our way to get stuff done. the people here are chill and dont really care about what your doing to your car.
keep a eye out on yplate for Jan 17th @ fuji! hope you guys an make it. we have been wanting to hit up ebisu as well so keep us checked on when you will be there.

[Slidin' Sam]

Keep us posted on the Jan 17th event. We are going to Ebisu Fri/Sat...probably leave Thurs night.

[EliteJDM]

I am not in kanagawa, but pretty close.... I am in Sayama, Saitama

[beavis360]

Is anyone going to Daikoku this Friday night? (12/4)

I want to check it out and snap some pics before going back to the states.

[dino6192]

Keep us posted on the Jan 17th event. We are going to Ebisu Fri/Sat...probably leave Thurs night.its going down still. most all the Atsugi drivers should be there. I got a friend coming out from San Diego as well!

I am not in kanagawa, but pretty close.... I am in Sayama, Saitamasays Philly? thats a LOOOOOONG drive from Kanagawa! LOL!

[EliteJDM]

Yea, from philly lol

But i am in Sayama, Saitama when I am in Japan.... I am there 3 - 4 times a year for a month at a time...

I am pretty sure kanagawa is only like 1 hr. away from Sayama

[yokotavia]

[yokotas13]

Stop making all of the pieces of shits so loud and people wont bitch. Your car doesnt have to look like dirt and sound like it also.

[yokotavia]

I am, im in the DEP

LOL so chances are its going to be a few months, its already been 2 months since ive "enlisted"

pretty lame, so i bought this peice of shit 13 that im going to smash into trees and such

itll be my gay american missile,

its a stepwagon grant, thats why no one cares haha

[yokotas13]

stepWGN...get it right

ill never go back!!!!!

[motegineon]

im here..been here almost a year now but still no car.. not so easy for the non-military..hopefully soon though

until then 8ggalant is nice enough to let me beat on his whip haha

[Biggamehit]

have not seen you in a while bro.. hows things going?

[Slidin' Sam]

Grant, there is a certain person or two on base that has a witchhunt going on for drifters. Luckily for you, your car is not on the neighborhood watch list by any means. And to each his own as far as loud cars that look dirty or whatever else.

[yokotas13]

its becuase i got smart and stopped driving trash so everyone leaves me alone
since i got rid of my loud cars (stagea being the last one) gate guards dont bother me about being low, scraping through the gate, being too low, blah blah blah.
noone bothers me anymore about the stupid shit. its the fact that yalls cars are so damn loud, and can hear you two stoplights away that fuck you
start driving 4 doors, and not looking all ghetto and yuod see youd fly under the radar too

c33/34/stagea/r34 4dr/chaser/etc
keep it classy to an extent and dont hit shit

[titan83642]

[dino6192]

[titan83642]
