I have some more, but I still have to crop and zoom on them.

[Brian]

I'm curious.
Why does Kenji's car have US headlights?

[yukio@jic-magic]

We bought the headlights at a dealership since the S14 didn't have the headlights when it came from Japan. It's the real deal rhd just didn't have the jdm headlights.

[Brian]

Ah I see.
Just wondering.
J lights are much cooler by the way.
Have Kenji bring some over next time.

Of course, this would only impress me and nobody else would even notice nor care... hah.
sooooo yeah, nevermind, snowman.

[Bebop]

Is this S14 the same one that kenji competed with in japan.
I remember seeing pictures of that thing with dark oranges red paint with S15 headlights
... maybe thats why it didnt come with headlights.

Who's going to be driving the S15 this year?

And how does one become a member of DA? I could have sworn I saw an interview where someone said only the original 4 would be part of DA.

Kenji is a DA "ace". Not a full-fledged member.

S15 is driven by Kenji when the car is ready. This was something of a shakedown for the S14 from what I gather. If the porsche is not ready for LB, Kenji will be in his personal S14 and Tyler will be in the S15. Once the Porsche is ready, Tyler drives the Porsche, Kenji drives the S15, and the S14 is for demos and other misc duty
