Default Japanese EF Clubs/Shops

Was looking through these last night though some of ye might like to see them...
I knew there was a few shops and blogs in Japan still running/modifying EF/AG Civics and CRXs but they are usually very hard to find cause they are not well known outside of Japan..

These are some of them and Ill try get up pics, links and some info on each place later

-Osaka JDM (Carcraft Boon) www.osaka-jdm.jp
-Zero Fighter www.zerofighter555.com
-Temple Racing www.temple.co.jp
-Rocket Bunny/TRA Kyoto/6666 www.tra-kyoto.com (NSFW Home Page!!)
-North Latitude 36 http://www.ne.jp/asahi/beans/web2/N36/36index.html
-Minkara Blog http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/412762/blog/

No street view but you can see photos from nearby and the well known round tower building across the road that can be seen in most of their car for sale pics..

Typical interior shot thats found in their cars from the one above


This car is now owned by a member on here Daryl and is used in the Irish Time Attack[8D]

Appart from sales they build cars and have some custom made bits for EFs.. One of the most outragous parts is there centre exit straight through exhaust in EF/EG/EK fitment







Heres a little sound clip of it[8)]
http://www.youtube.com/user/zerofigh.../6/_R55eEUfTZs

Just over €300 before shipping its a direct bolt on using the rear tow hook as a hanger

A list of their cars in stock can be found on goo-net.com its like the autotrader of japan.. Heres a link to their page on it 13 cars in stock at the minute including an 86 si Civic and two EF9s[8D]

http://www.goo-net.com/usedcar_shop/0705713/stock.html

Yea should be a bit lower alright but they are only really on track cars so shouldnt matter so much.. Would like to see if they are any gains though doubt they would work as well as other more normal setups
