I must admit I certainly don't mind riding in an evo :P that would be excellent. if you send me a pm, i can get your details etc.

Nick (blitz) and I will be going back in January. Daikoku will be farking cold by then but it sure is worth a look. Last time was a crack up. there was a guy there with a set of turntables and a mixer on a table beside this van that was stuffed full of massive subs etc, then he had a beaten up silvia with jumper cables to give power to the van. it was quite the set-up. and people were just standing around dancing while he was cranking out the happy hardcore tunes. very funny stuff.

In case you needed more of an excuse to visit Daikoku/The Wangan :P

We stumbled across a photoshoot for the Cusco WRX and EVO in the area the freeway racers meet on the Wangan so with the perfect lighting I decided to grab some pics of my own

No space to work on your EVO at home? why not change your headlights on the Wangan freeway?

gday, if any of you boys are heading there soon, i'd love to hook up and see it too. don't live far from tokyo and have a car, aint no skyline but if you dont mind riding in an evo then i can give you a lift.

dude i would definately be interested, come January :-)

a mate and myself are heading over, would be great to catch up with some aussies and see a few local sites as well as the car scene.

PM me if you wouldnt mind showing us around a little and i can grab your details.

i guess this applies to all, not just dodgybrooks :D

the more help the merrier!

for your info if you want cheap accomodation have a look at hostels in yoyoji/harajuku or shijuku area cos it seems reasonable to sleep...

just google it and there are many choices

or otherwise business hotels are not too bad either...

or for the adventurous go to "managa kissa" a 24 hr manga/dvd/internet library!

maaaan i wish i can go with you guys as well....

We stay at a hotel in Chiba that is very reasonably priced also and walking distance to an Up Garage and 5 mins by monorail from some excellent parts shops not to mention 15 mins cab ride from Top Secret :thumbsup:

Sounds like Beer man and I will be seeing a few of you lads over there

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
