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.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
