while eating pho dinner in gangnam, spotted a red Evo IX with what looked like the black/silver APR theme on the side...I was inside so couldn't hear it or see wheels but anyone else seen it?

Oh and if you guys have FBook i posted pictures of cars I've seen so far there. I was in a cab coming back from Meong-dong and was followed by a yellow Murci the whole way and in the tunnel, he was purposly getting on and off the gas. The night before in gangnam, was following a blue gallardo with some very young guy SMOKING a cig in it! I smoke cigs but I think I could wait til I get to my destination until I smoke one if I had one.

Anywhere in Itaewon will be good. Everyone knows where cold stone is right? That would be a good spot.
I can be there anytime after 1245. We going for lunch/dinner?

Good to see that you guys are getting together. My big exam is in Jan, 2009. So, I won't be able to meet up with you guys until next year... Sucks... If you guys are still around next year... I would love to take you guys to places where korean auto enthusiasts hangout...

Yeah daum cafe is the place to be if you want to be informed on car club gatherings. Let me give you some info on them...
GTR club get together once in a while. Unfortunately they are sort of closed group:
http://cafe.daum.net/skylinegtr
Silvia club guys meet up pretty often near Bun-Dang and Sung-nam to practice drifting. Most of the members here compete in DDGT (Korea's only drift competition) so if you want to watch some mountain drifting action, these guys are it!:
http://cafe.daum.net/sr20det
Good ol' supra club. Similar to GTR club.. Hard core manias hangout here. Some of them own 800+WHP Supras:
http://cafe.daum.net/suprayun
As I posted some videos before, you guys probably know about the babodream.co.kr Unfortunately police and media are cracking down on babodream.co.kr right now, so I would avoid them for a while...
Infiniti club. This is a huge club, but they are not really into motorsports.
Kind of old crowds...
http://cafe.daum.net/INFINITI
Audi club. These guys meet up pretty regularly and they mean business when they do..
http://cafe.daum.net/clubaudi
Joong-Bu-Sun (name of a highway in Korea) club. These guys used to be Benz club members, but AMG owners made their own club. Active members are pretty loaded and sort of old... Many exotic owners are members as well. They meet every Friday at one of the rest areas before getting on the Joong-Bu-Sun highway I believe.
http://cafe.daum.net/cbline
There are more... but you get the idea..

minus the laughing tho...THANK so much for those links...I'm trying to find a place here that sells Supras or maybe even one of those guys there might be willing to sell theirs 
I definately want to check out the mountain drifting as well, just have to figure out when I can get out there and when they'll be meeting up.
No offense to the Z but the JZA80 platform has been my favorite car since they first came out...looking like a shark and you can't forget the bulletproof GTE motor with the matching strong as hell v60 tranny. Ryan Woon (www.wotm.com) has a 1400+rwhp, all boost i believe, and still runs the STOCK tranny, just clutch upgrade, many other members do this as well. Nice to hear considering Nissan will void the transmission warranty if the driver uses the launch control too many times in the new GTR...broken trannys i hear can cost up to $20k?!
Thanks again for the links leeboy! Hit me up when you come to Korea, will you be in Seoul as well...what part?

I just moved to Gwa-chun city from Seoul which is only 10-minute ride down south from Sa-Dang subway station (number 2 green line)... I'm in Seoul everyday...I just finished my Korean military duty...
3 years of my life... What a waste... I even had to quit a great job I had in NY back in 2004 to come back to Korea.... Draft law SUCKS!
