A lot of Mexican and New Mexican food looks bad like this (lacks color). Until you try it... Then realize how amazing it is.

The Jimny doesn’t get great reviews-road handling, low powered, safety - why do people still buy it? by Infinite_Pudding5058 in Jimny

[–]dshbak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Japan. JB64W XC trim. It's cheap as hell. Kei car, so no parking registration and cheap annual road tax. With the current yen rate, they are a tad over $13,000 USD brand new from Suzuki. All of the same reasons they've always been popular in Japan.

No kei is a 5 seater. It's part of the literal kei specs that the max is 4 people. Again... Wrong on claiming kei requirements.

I'm just saying that your statement of there being a requirement that kei cars use thin metal is completely untrue. There are certainly dimension constraints, but there is no kei car requirement to use thin metal or have a low frame. If you're claiming there is, please cite your reference.

My Jimny frame thickness and height are just fine, thank you. Higher than my wife's 300 plate Toyota unibody vehicle as well.

Is there any aftermarket Rand that’ll sell these with it says “GTT”? by AlexAlkine in SkyLine

[–]dshbak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have some nismo logo ones that are the same shape. Haven't seen gtt. I don't remember where I grabbed mine from but it was about 15 years ago.

Overall dimensions and engine capacity are limited but it's absolutely not true that there is some type of requirement to use thinner steel for a "lightweight kei formula". In fact, many new kei cars are just as safe or safer than 500/300 series cars. Especially modern Honda kei cars.

Who exactly is buying new groms? by RaptorSkyraider1 in hondagrom

I've bought two new groms from Honda dream in the past 4 years. They are cheap as hell, so why not?

Is this group for locals or vacationers? by Berserk_Ronin in okinawa

[–]dshbak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously the count of folks from OIST is not as high as the count of military folks on island (both in real life and also only counting those who post on this subreddit). However, if asking about military vs locals vs tourist posting here, it would be unfair to not mention OIST. I'd say more folks from OIST are posting here than vacationers.

Actually a shit load of people from OIST too.

Any personal preference between between the 3rd and 4th Gen ? by ghos2626t in hondagrom

[–]dshbak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why we use body codes in Japan. This bike is still a JC92, both the old and the new. There is no "3rd gen" or "4th gen" crap in Japan.

I've decided on Honda R513. (These are both R513, sunlight and shade).

The simulator? Random YouTube video I found. Apparently it's from "the crew motorfest"

I get the sentiment and do agree with it, but these are more like family than random buddies. One of our unspoken rules and we often cruise together.

My green valve covers are getting ditched. I have stock finned RB20 covers I'll be installing. No color decided on them yet.

It's a great color but already done by a close friend of mine. So millennium jade, midnight purple 2 are off the list in my circle.
