Hi all,

I thought it was time to throw a thread up to see who is planning on attending TAS 06'?

I will be over there with Beer Baron and RBNT by the looks of it

Organising an SAU meet at TAS is a waste of time from my past experience but if a number of people are around at that time then a night on the town could be in order.

yeah i'm not too keen on organising any big group meet ups etc. But i guess i could be up for a dinner one night or something like that?

EDIT: TAS will be so very sweet. can't wait.

I want to go this year also,but is it worth it?

I got the feeling this year that the tuning part of the show is going down.Becomes more show and shine.

Same old democars being shown

DCD probaly have some input on the state of tuners etc?

I asked myself the same question 2 years ago...

IMO once you've seen one R34 GT-R with widebody kit, 20x13" wheels, 1200hp engine, carbon everything and 3 half naked J-girls crawling over it... you've seen it all :D

In fact, the standard of the rest of the world (EU, US, AU and more or less Canada, UAE and NZ) has caught up so much in the last 3 years that I believe that the Japanese are finding it harder and harder to stand out... it's not 1996 anymore...

I honestly believe the old days of Japan hype and all that goes with it will come to an ABRUPT END when 3 Fast 3 Furious is released, and a new generation of 16 year old American kids make it totally uncool to like anything about Japan. It's over.

LOL :lol:

that is not so expensive if it includes airfare, taxes, travel insurance, rail pass, accomodation. if it doesn't include all of those things then it's possibly just a tad pricey.

that includes everything, i thought it was a reasonable package.

includes accomodation in a 3.5 star hotel too.

Where are you staying Richard/Nick same as Tas05?

If I go this year I am not staying in central Tokyo.

Took a bloody hour+ to get to Makuhari and tuners in January.

yeah mate, we will be in the same spot as last year for the TAS portion of our trip, and staying in Tokyo for the rest. :)

I dunno... car shows are errrm car shows.

If you ask me cars are meant to be driven and seeing all these cool cars just sitting there doing bugger all is as bad as a hot stripper you cant f*ck.

Maybe Im missing the point but I think track days/comps are where its at :)

    • Jax Tyres this Monday morning. Front lifted 15mm Back lifted 12mm Quote1, $175 per tyre + wheel alignment. Quote2, $660 inc wheel alignment. paid $298 for the lot.  
    • Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.  
    • I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!
    • What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
