here is the selection of seats that Garage Thrash had on display at TAS.

I think these two would be perfect for Troy so he can fit in with the strange folk in Melbourne (funky monkey in particular)... lol.

pfft Troy has no chance of fitting in here unless he's got the seats on the rack above with the leopard skin... and even then only if he's dressed in nothing but a loincloth in matching fabric.

about $22 AUD and a rocking good time. I have drunk my fair share of those in japan.

the 1.9litre kirin beside comes with soda bulbs and you can buy and attachment that turns it into a mini keg, complete with drip tray and everything.

the also sell asahi in every other size imaginable. from the 3 litre cans, right down to 135ml cans! and every thing in between (small bottles, longnecks, regular cans, 600ml cans, 1 litre cans etc etc).

ok well if you are into trying new things you should try the following. (these pics are from 05 TAS but gave me a giggle then, and may give someone a giggle now).

first pic is straight face, best behaviour (well except for my hand placement)

Second pic, not such good behaviour...

and again, same story (just not as good looking model!)

appologies for the old pics, but i was looking for that kirin keg attachment pic and saw these. happy memories.

i should get someone to make a gif out of one of those pairs for me. or learn how to do it myself.

for those that wanted some drift pics, i don't have any from this year as it was raining, and snowing the 2 weekends we were there. last time i went in the rain i couldn't get warm for about two days afterwards, and I broke a video camera filming the drifing for a bout 3 hours in the rain.

here's a pic though of me with some very wet japanese street drifters.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
