HOSTILE

Common problem with 32s... the back of the instrument cluster is easy to get at but don't know bout the other end... got my mechanic to do it at last service, along with all the heater hoses 'n crap.. wasn't expensive so must be easy! LOL

Good stuff Dion... now we just need a few more!!

Wear the pants Luke!!.... TELL her you are going! LOL

OK done... form sent... and butt raped by Aust. post= $4.50 for a money order!! WTF?

Much the same as in oz Ben... you can get a great japanese meal for about 8 bux or you can spend 40-60 bux on a big steak/ 3 course meal or something at a Hard Rock cafe... each to their own. But its great food, lots of variety and doesn't have to cost a lot.

My forms will be off today...

Good work Dion... I have penciled in the time off work and had it approved, so just waiting to hear about other potential travellers.... The only funds you will need upfront is deposit which will cover tour fee $250 then flights ( so approx $1750).... accommodation is pay when we arrive in Tokyo, insurance can be bought any time prior to departure as can rail pass if needed.

Hi guys, well its fast approaching time for Tokyo Autosalon 2010 and from conversations I have had recently a few of you are interested in going over but may be put off by the language barrier and not knowing where to start really or how to get around.... This is where I come in... having been on four previous trips to learn my way around etc I am toying with the idea of running a tour.. (ie) I will organise/show you around Tokyo, accommodation, take you to Autosalon and tuning shops and also some cultural 'touristy' stuff too. This is likely to be a one - time offer so think carefully people... I will ONLY take a small group of around 6-8 people max. This will be for a period of approx. 10 days around 11th-22nd Jan 2010 APPROX. costs will be (per person): Guided tour: $250 Flights: $1500 + insurance (about 90 bux) Accommodation: $600 Rail pass (if needed) $375 (depends on itinerary) Spending money:As much as you want!! Places included will/can be: TAS, SuperAutobacs, Crystal, Top Secret, Up Garage, Nismo, Others by request... and Non-car: Disneyland, Sensoji Temple, Tokyo Tower, Ski-day (if wanted), Akihabara (electric city), Imperial palace gardens and more... I will leave it open for those who wish to go if it is more car/less tourist etc... THIS IS E.O.I. ONLY AT THIS STAGE TO GAUGE INTEREST AND SEE IF IT IS WORTH ALL THE HASSLE TO ARRANGE!! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ALL THE ABOVE BEFORE POSTING.... SERIOUS ENQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE First option given to those who have shown interest already.... Andrew, Ruby, Dion, James... I'm looking at you guys!! TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE HERE.... NEED TO GET THIS SORTED IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS IF IT IS GOING AHEAD.

I was at Zele in yokohama 2 weeks ago and had a look at it in the flesh!! ..... heres a few snaps.... 34s everywhere!

So, am I the only one who hasn't sent forms yet?? When's the deadline? Is everyone going to the dinner or not??

Well, with the right marinade.......

Keir is running a 3 litre in his, Veilside is a 2.7 so I am sure there are many differences in delivery of power/ torque, but yeah just proves there is more than one way to skin a cat.... so to speak!

Bit of both... I speak only a little Japanese, but they often speak a little english, and together with lots of pointing you can usually get the message accross!

More awesomeness at ZELE in Yokohama...

Some awesomeness from japan... 1300hp drag car... 8.6 quarter mile! and widebody demo car... gotta love Veilside!

You could twist my nipple.... uhhhmmm.... arm to go again for sure!! LOL

And more...

As the title suggests, I have been recently to Fuji Speedway to see the 300km race. It was awesome! If you closed your eyes it sounded like F1... enjoy!

Ha GOLD! Seroiusly tho you can have a good time in japan for about a week to 10 days for approx 3 - 4 grand and less if you are tight on budget and eat cheap meals etc..

Bahahahahahaha yep... I am not bad on the banjo if I can stop chewin on my straw long enough...LOL

No probs will see what I can find...

OR.... I can pick some up in Tokyo next week.... Got the GTR one for my car last time ... was about 30 bux. Let me know if u want 'em.

The 13th is a popular date... we are heading to Fuji speedway to catch the GT racing and our friend is driving in D1SL at Ebisu circuit same day...
