Default I made it to England!

First of all, Hello to all as I've not been on in quite some time! I'm in the USAF and am over in the UK on quite a long tour. The Drag scene here is slim to none but there's a strip about an hour from me and there are some guys on base and in the area with drag setup Supras and Skylines that I've seen some shoe polish on the windows more than a time or two so we'll see how it goes. I left my Coupe back in the states as I felt having a UK/Jap spec car while here was worth the toruble... There's some SIR's(EG and EK chassis's) and VTI-S's(B18c4 96-00 4dr.) for sale in my area and I'll prob be picking one up sooner or later. Hopefully the people selling parts in the classifieds sections will be willing to ship to my APO!!! haha. Bye for now and I'll report back in when a build begins. Peace.

Phil

Hi Phil,

Welcome to the U.K.

Info on our best Port Compact drag racing can be found here:

http://www.japdragseries.co.uk/index.html

However if you go to any of the RWYB days at Santa Pod there is always plenty of FWD cars there.

Thanks man and I'll def check it out. How far from Suffolk is Santa Pod? Where's a good place to pick up parts as I do have an APO but not everyone is willing to ship to an APO and I'll need some parts. Any info is appreciated and I can send you my e-mail if need be. Thanks bro.
