Is your mate Tomonori's frined in D1, Yoshioka Toshiki?

YES!!! Tomonori's friend has been driving in D1 for 2 years now I think. in a hachi roku too, with his team (Cool D) stickers on ;)

way to go tosh with the obscure D1 knowledge! ;) most people unless I say taniguchi, or nomuken etc have NFI what I'm on about. Tomonori is also very talented. but I think not dedicated enough to be a D1 prospect, but he does have sponsorship already :D

Watching all those Option DVD's pays off :action-smiley-069:

Yoshioka is a FREAKING good driver!!! He won the 2005 Round 4 in Autopolis which is a MEAN feat considering how fast Autopolis is and how much it suits the high horsepowered cars.

In that round he beat Nomuken (530ps BLITZ R34) then Kumakubo (550ps Team Orange/JUN WRX & 2006 Champion) then Suenaga (460ps RE Amemiya FD3S RX7 & 2005 Runner Up) and finally Hibino (Sunrise/Mercury AE86)

Just found this on the D1GP website

cool! yeah, tomonori was very proud that a member of his team is in D1. :wave: Actually their cars are quite similar if anything Tomo's car is a bit lighter (less safety gear I guess), but a bit less power too (maybe 230ps).

I love the old option vids too. My friend gave me a 2004 option dvd as a present while I was there. It features Tsukuba Super Lap back when the HKS and Cyber EVOs first ran 55s... awesome vid.

yep

Imamura was in a brown AE86

Taniguchi was driving his own personal S15 which started out Yellow then got resprayed Red

Nomuken, Kumakubo and Tanaka weren't competing

Ueno in the Vertex Soarer was dominant

Tezuka drove a Chaser and not the Bee R Skyline

Miki was in a blue S14

photo shop? webspace? me not understand. or I as often find my self saying: sumimasen, wakarimasen.

you should be proud that I know how to upload to image shack and then link the hosted pics to display here! I can be a bit noob at times. I dont have a working copy of photoshop (i'd love one though if someone is obliging!) and I do have 50mb webspace with my isp but never used it and have NFI how... so i'll just battle on with image shack. with a fast connection it's not so bad anyway.

loving this thread richard!

i like the random shots... and you have a great skill of being able to remember stuff. Like the name of streets and that it was facing east and what area is around it etc.. I would be like "umm this is a nice street. in the city somewhere" lol

what were all those girls dressed up like that for? please explain lol. I've seen it before but why do they do it, and why are they all hanging around there together?

most importantly: did I get any more pressies this time? :happy:

(((ANDREW )))

Hi Shell, glad you like the pics. well as for why people get into the cos play I really dont know. I think it's a way to get attention. Makes them feel good I guess so why not? It's certainly out there! with the hanging out at harajuku well it's just a popular place to meet for the cos-play-zoku I dont know how it started though it is a very trendy area in tokyo and bit like darlinghurst or acutally more like newtown here. so it's a natural kind of place for people on the fringe to hang out.

dave, I dont know the saurus site, but I'll ask my friend for you. he knows hayashi-san quite well.

andrew, I'll try and get a chance to do some more pics. glad you like 'em :P I do still have lots.

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
