Official SAU Tokyo Auto Salon Contingent...


Recommended Posts

Alright lads, who`s going???

I wanna sort this out so it`s done right...

1) Assign a rally point outside JR Kaihin-Makuhari Station.

2) Have a plan of attack so that (if need be) we can get through all the important stands and displays on the Saturday.

3) Assign group leaders (with phones) who can contact each other if we get split up - if theres enough people going that is...

4) Get lagered...

5) Have a "most candid Campaign girl photo" competition... with prizes :D

6) Go up Tokyo Tower and on the Sunday for those that will stay overnight.

Anybody up for a little Auto Salon action? I know you are Dave!!!

Gents!

myself and 5 others will be in japan from the 1st January through to the 11th, planning on going to TAS on the 10th.

will there be an opportunity to meet up before TAS? dinner? catchup? ropongi? :rolleyes:

we are staying at the Sumisho hotel near Tokyo Central Station is that close to any of you guys?

Can you hire mobile phones from Narita Airport?

The problem for us is that we have 6 in our group. We have 1 contact over there who has an awesome chaser drift car and he said he was going to take us drifting and to the daikoku carpark and freeway runs, but we won't all be able to fit in his car!

Frankie - how about we co-ordinate a meeting spot on the 10th outside the convention centre?

We are staying in Chiba at the New Tsukamoto hotel so we are closer to TAS that you guys as I understand it.

Franky, we have to definatly meet up in japan. Mobile phone rental might be an idea, I shall have my aussie one with me so whilst its expensive to call we could SMS! hehe.

yeah warm clothes, thats a thought eh.

come on man :rolleyes: GSM wont work in Japan! your Oz phone will be useless over there i believe?

nick, i've sent yang this thread, he knows spots around the convention centre so between rezz & yang we should be able to meet, as for you guys :( well ... just look for tourists like us :(:) :) hrm, maybe we should all get SAU shirts and wear them on the day :)

I'll be there with a few of the J-Spec guys... providing that I get my tickets changed from the 15th to the 5th... (yes I found out that I was goin on hols to Japan a week after autosalon, so I figgered I'd kill2 birds with 1 stone)

Alright! Sounds like we`ve got a contingent going...

Franks: You say you`ve got 6 guys coming?

Blitz: PM sent mate, sorry. You`ve got 6 coming too.

Plus Funkymonkey with the "J-Spec" guys... (how many Funkymonkey?)

...and of course me and Demon Dave and our wives...

Thats about 20 people?

Two groups of 10? I have a feeling the J-Sec guys won`t want to join our group though?

god knows how many with j-spec... they've got their own posse up there apparently, coz they have their agents n suppliers n all that acting as tour guide takin em to all the garages, drift comps and autosalon. I was thinkin of taggin along with them, but I'd be more than happy to meet up with you guys.

Thats cool Funky, whatever suits you best. I wouldn`t mind meeting the J-Spec guys anyway.

Theres also 3 or 4 other guys that might be coming along with me, but they`re only tentatively booked.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
