Yup.
From Tokyo, half-Japanese/American. Speak both.. pretty much.
I've been living in Tokyo for the last 15 years, before that I lived in the States. I drive in the mountains occasionally, as well as on racetracks around here. I'm also on a racing team for my university.
I own a 92 S13 Silvia K's.
I bought it completely stock (and broken) but this is what it's like today:
I do all my own work on my car, mostly because I don't want to pay the labor costs but also because I enjoy it. It's come a long way.. learned a lot but I'm sure I could learn even more while I'm here.
So that's about it. Yoroshiku.

I have a question about the University race teams, is it just like any other college sport where you compete against other schools or is it just like a school sponsored regular race team or what? I saw one Japanese University race team at Le Mans this year and wondered about that. Really wish we had that sort of thing here in the states.

Ahhh yes, Japanese housing design, simple yet effective and efficient. I really do miss Japan dearly, I was an Okinawa resident myself courtesy of the good ole US Marine Corp ^_^
