T.A.S was amazing this year. The quality and depth of the show in terms of cars, girls and presentation was awesome. i personally though it was much better overall than last year.

2 full days would be ideal at an event like this but i only had sunday. Poida and I met a friend of ours and had an absolute balst.

Here are some pics..

ENJOY!

I was a bit let down. could have gone for 3 days but instead just went on friday morning and stayed till about 2pm (was packed from 1 onwards as general admission starts at 1).

I really think it gets a bit less every year.

I must agree... Auto-Salon is always a good show (in Japan) but for the past three years that ive gone, i have to say there seems to be a trend of it going down each time. This year (and last) companies like Veilside didn't show.. A lot of companies who were there last year also didn't come this year and a lot of those who came last year put the same cars up on display.. It's a little disappointing to say none the less, but Auto-salon will always be auto-salon. I hope that some of the big makers start to release some good sports cars in the future, otherwise the Salon will continue to get less and less interesting.. I have more to say, but i'll say it when i post my own pics up later today or tomorrow..

yes, I was thinking a lot of the mediocre cars from last year were back again, but some of the good cars that I would have liked to see again (MCR GTR, Kagotani GTR, Saurus GTR, Sunline GTR) weren't there. I'm sure those cars would have been further developed and I would like to see it.

I think a lot of the tuning companies are starting to feel the pinch a bit and can no longer justify the $$$ to wheel out the big cars year after year.

make no mistake though. If you put it on it's own it was still an awesome show. It's just that I can't help but compare it to previous years.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
