New Guy on Okinawa
I've been in Japan for about a year and a half and had a S15 for most of that time. I picked up a 1984 Levin Coupe GT about a month ago. She has 59,000 kilometers and is stock except for the wheels, fog lights, and TRD sticker (PIA sticker already removed). All of these were done by the one, and only, owner before me. I don't know exactly which direction I'm going to head in with her just yet but I've picked up a set of XXR 513s (flame away, but watanabe wheels are on everything here and I'm not a huge fan of them), Run Free body kit, and a 7 pt. cage. The kit and cage were spontaneous purchases based on price and availability. Anyways, here are a few pictures of her as of now.

Looks awesome man, nice clean foundation to build on. How's that typhoon treating you guys down there?

Understeer is when the front end hits the wall.
Oversteer is when your back end hits the wall.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall.
Torque is how far you take the wall with you!

Yes indeed, very clean car.

I'm really happy with the car so far. I don't know what has been replaced over the last 29 years and what hasn't so I've been going over the car a bit and checking things out. The typhoon hit harder than most expected...knocked out power for over 24 hours in places, flipped cars, and caused some pretty extensive damage. Last report I saw said Cat 2 when it was going to hit us but it had to be stronger than that.
