What's the plan?

Well after buying the RX-8 I had $2 in the bank account before payday. Just paid rent and everything will be a little sad for the next fortnight I reckon haha

Sell your body for cash

Should get you another five bucks or so

Tell me more about your RX-8 , missing out all the previous conversations how much you pay for it and mileage ? Year ? Dave had one before and sold it and now he's looking another one - typical Impulsive men

[ElleAli76]

Awesome. Didn't think it could be started at airport. About $80 from airport to tokyo so I'd prob get a pass then Elle

Ok Trev , I'll get the rail pass before we go there . Thank You [emoji317]

We stayed here in Shibuya, it was amazing, has a gym but they charge decently to use it, food and service was 5 star

Disney resort looks really good, was about 30mins? out of tokyo by train, super autobacs 2 stops down

Thanks Corey Heard about popular Shibuya area , and had a lil look and did little research about it. Don't mind the 30 mins on the train and I can use the same rail pass to go there ? One rail pass for all ?

You have to watch, the rail pass we used was for Japan Rail, one of the lines you had to switch to a different company but the ticket was only 300yen or so each

 

Pretty sure disney was all japan rail

Elle.  For parts just use Amayama, you will have to know the part numbers though it will end up much cheaper then get a workshop of your choice to do the work, downside can be parts warranty may not be covered if the workshop is not supplying it, so for things like brackets, hangers well amayama is the go, it's all a gamble but given the price difference, then the time spending yourself ordering parts.

Genuine vs Non genuine - I always prefer genuine as you know it's been tested on the car and made the way it was made to be, with aftermarket it's hit and miss you really need to see peoples experiences with aftermarket pads and rotors.  Brakes are one thing I would not cheap out on.
Unfortunately we get GTR Tax.   Genuine rotors for R33 GTR for example are like $1800 or something like that.

Aftermarket is good but chose known tried and tested brands, I'd go for something like a street pad as it will be more kinder to you.

But Elle forget all that, I want to see you tune that beast and raise the boost.
