Some interesting Japanese auctions

[WestCoastSVX]

Ok, this is probably old news for some of you but I found it interesting and at times amusing...

Go to AltaVista (unless you read Japanese) http://world.altavista.com/tr

Then in the part where you translate a web site put this URL in:
http://search.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/s...ale=0jp&acc=jp

Have it translate from Japanese to English.

This is a basic list of all SVX auctions like you would see on ebay so you may have to refresh or something to see the current ones. Or if you know what you are doing just go to Yahoo auctions, then select International auctions, Japan, etc. At whichever point you are uncomfortable you can translate the site.

Like on Ebay, the majority of the SVX auctions are literature, mostly S3 and S4 catalogs. Actually the majority is either Timex watches with SVX in the model # or radar detectors with SVX in the model #.

But here's some of the fun stuff I found today:

"Ground kit of surprise for SVX!" (the best I could gather from the translation and pictures is they have developed an elaborate 10 wire version of our Alternator wiring upgrade - done in Randy's favorite color!) You tech guys should check it out.

Several "tuned ECU's" claiming all kinds of modifications to performance, taking off the limiters, etc. A couple auctions mentioned it was the ECU for the 4WS SVX.

A window tint kit ready cut for the SVX, just slap it on with the included solution.

Of course a few nice looking JDM SVXes too!

What? No comments on the ground wire "upgrade" or yet more proof of active AWS in Japan?

...I just wish I had some money
