Hi,
when introuducing myself thread I’ve received some replies belonging to the euro-spec cars and especially the rear bumper. I think it’s too much for the introduction thread, therefor I’m going to describe the situation in Europe for all the guys who are interested.
Although Europe is small, there are a lot of countries and most of the borders are open now (the buildings are tehrem you have to slow down, but nobody sits in it). I’m living in Germany, one of the richest countries in Europe and coming form Poland one of the poorer countires in Europe (difference was like between US and Mexico). The distance between my hometown and the town I live now is 500 miles / 800 kilomenters. The difference is even bigger, because the Rahin-Main-Area is rich and an industrieal center and former rich Walbrzych is a special invest area with around 50% unemployment because all the coal mines and the industry around were closed in the middle of 90s.
The tuning scene has a big tradition in Germany, especially for all the German cars. But also japanese cars get tuned a lot. Germany has a very good infrastructure with alls the Autobahns without any speedlimit 
(when leaving citylimits). There are some racingtracks, especially the famous Nordschleife where you can have “tourist-tours”. On every weekend you can see a lot of great cars meeteing there. Even the british get there with ther Skylines and other grey japan imports (GB is going RHD). It’s around 100km / 60miles awy from me (going on a unlimited autobahn, heaving fun before getting on the track). Also my community SXOC.de is meeting there every year and the S13 community SXCE.de has a big Nürmeet there (there are more S13 than S14 in germany, the first one has sold very good here). Every year the season starts in Germany with a big meeting on the Nordschleife on Good Friday (in german “Karfreitag” transfered to “Carfreitag” meaning Car-Friday). There are also a lot of guys modifying the engines, drifting and importing cars from Japan or GB.
The polish scene stood up in this decade. They have terrible streets there, very few freewys. The condition is poor and the good infrastructure provides almost only ordinary highways. But in the big cities the few young guys who earn a lot of money, started to import fast cars from germany (so the people driving these cars are specialists in their jobs and can easier organize something, than ordinary peoply like in Germany). The meeting are mixed and you can see a lot of BMWs but also few japanese import cars (also bikes and cars are mixed more in the community). When going to Poland now, I was surprised to see a lot of Imprezas and Evos. These cars together with S/RS Audis seems to fit better with poor polish roads. But even Walbrzych is so poor, I’ve seen a 450 RWHP drifting S14 going on public roads. Poland is a kind of wild west (even lying in the east). But because there are so few cars, you can get informations very quickly, because the one know the other. It’s a kind of underground, pioneers. JDM is difficult in Poland, because no RHD cars can go on public roads.
Now some media:
Polish movie from community in capitol city
German SXOC guys having fun (the green one is a Racing-Edition with the same rear lip I have. All Racings where green and they make the most of the S14s in germany … my father has also one)
