Asakusa is a very nice part of town... (you can get heaps of those plastic food things that you see eveyrwhere, in Asakusa) I stayed at a Andon Roykan (in Minowa, which i very close to Asakusa), cheap, clean and very nice. It's about $90 AUD for room a night... thats 1 or 2 people!

Just book heaps of time ahead. :ermm: And order the brekkie...it's cheap and good!

Oh and when you leave each morning, book the jacuzzi for that night when you return :)

I'd love to go the TAS, but i won't make it. I'll be back in Japan in May :)

Thats it! I'm in...I'm going to TAS. I've got enough points to upgrade my ass from site to TAS and back so that nice. I'm going to get there a few days early and have a look around then go to Hokkaido after the show for some skiing or in my case falling. Unfortunately I don't have a lonely planet over here at the moment and I'm trying to pick a resort. So far I've looked at Furano, Tomamu and Niseko.

What I'm after is a place that has...

Western style Hotel

Good snow

Good facilities

Good party

and where the Aussies or dare I say it Americans, dont out number the Japanese (not you guys of course :D . )

I dont mind spending a few bucks for the right resort.

I'd appreciate any info you can provide. BTW I'm happy to meet up at TAS or anywhere else while I'm there for a Sake with SAU'ers.

PS:Yes, I did search but all the ski info is a couple of years old.

If you can make it to Tanzania, your in with a shot.

Keio Plaza in Shinjuku on Wednesday Night till the next Tuesday then Hakuba for a week, I just wish I had paid for my hotels before the nonsense started. I'm up for a meet, drinks, workshops, whatever.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
