Hey guys,

As most of you know I'm in Tokyo at the moment. Ive been all around Japan 3 years ago but let me say Tokyo is something else. I went to Disney Land yesterday, and D1 Round 7 @ Fuji Speedway on Sunday which was of course my personal highlight, as well as getting to sit in the official Toyota F1 Car in Harajuku. That was amazing seeing an F1 car in the flesh.

Anyways enough chit chat, I thought I'd show you guys SOME pictures from D1 Round 7. I'll upload more as well as videos when I get back next week. But this should give you a taste of what I was lucky enough to experience, although the pictures don't really do it justice.. here they are... oh and the first one is my logo I got tat'd today by www.NS7Dept.com :P

edit: also thanks goes out to SAU sponsor Ben from J-Spec Imports for helping me out and clearing a few things about my future toy next year hopefully. :P

Nice, I was in Japan about 2 weeks back, whats the disneyland like? I went to disney sea lol :)

I made that mistake and got off at Disney Sea but theres a monorail that goes to Disney Land there. Disney Land is remarkable, although childish the work they've put into it blew me away. And its always funny seeing japanese versions of cinderella lol.

This is my fave pic from D1, http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1022...mp;id=501249689 I spent as much time in the parking lot than I did watching the drifting. :D

Also if you see the pic of the white S15 with a shot targetted on the rear wheel, are the WedsSport SA-70 wheels that are arriving for me in a few weeks that I've waiting 4 months for. Seeing them in person confirmed they were worth every penny, and the wait!

Few more days here so I'm off for now.

Matta ne!

hahaha nar he hasn't. :P I was telling him how I spent $600 on a chick at Kabukicho on my first night (Most foreigners will do the same.) who was one of the RLD girls but like fell in love with me and gave me her #. Chick was 30 and looked 22. She thought I was 23 although 19, underage overseas clubbin ftw. :ninja:

Everyone has a gf here it's depressing :ninja: Where are the japanese clubs in Perth I gota see what I can scoop up. lol.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
