Beppu City?

[Cefiro_PWA]

Hey

I am about to go to Japan, and my location says " Beppu City"... I was wondering how the Drift Scene is there as im into Drifting and would like to buy a car there.. Post code is 874-0925

Is there any Maps i can see from the City? It's with a mate and he has some freinds there , aparently there is a big drift scene there..

Do you have some pictures or links?

Let me know, i like asking proffesionals.. HEHEH

Thanks

Drifiting in Beppu? No offence mang but thats like asking what the drifting is like in Broken Hill, NSW...

Beppu is in Oita prefecture which is on Kyushu island, the 3rd biggest island thats closest to China (well closest out of the 3 biggest islands lol). About the only thing Beppu has got going for it in 'location' terms is that it's reasonably close to Fu-ku-oka (<- stupid censor), where 'URAS' is, so if you can hook up with those guys it would be pretty crazy trust me.

No idea what the drift is like, and frankly, coming from Osaka, Beppu isn't even on the map... but having said that it *is* a rural kind of town so there'd be plenty of car action out there (not just drift). The key would be to get a car, then go hunting! Meet people that way...

Hey,

Yeh, considering that my mate got his car from there when he went lasttime and said he went out drifting with a heap of guys something like "Making Gazage" or i think "Making Garage" .. I bloody can't wait.. Just finished UNI and now im on holidays ... Yeah!!!!!!

After a quick search nothing came up for me. I dare say you could find out where the local circuit is within 2 days of being there? Just ask somebody!

The only thing at beppu are a hell of a lot of hot mineral spring & mud baths. Went there last year and had about 3 'mineral experiences' the day i went there. Pity it was in August and farken hot anyway

Didnt see alot of drifting i have to admit. Best chance like Rezz said it to take the train down to Fu-ku-oka and check out the scene there. Also Prime Garage is in the area and they turn out some pretty impressive cars. HKS Kyushu may also be a place to stop and talk to Dragon-san

Is there chinese people in that section of japan?

I heard there is ~

3 months $20k.

omg i want

[Beer Baron]

I don't think I could make $20K last three months on a jap holiday. from memory I spent about $3 or $4k a week. if you were just living there that's another story... but if you're serious about buying parts and shopping and going out you will do a fair bit of dough in a hurry. this was in tokyo area though so it may be different in the japanese broken hill.
