Hey Guys,

I'm most likely goign to be in Japan around the time of the f*kuoka Auto Salon..i'll have to stay a couple of extra days and i was just wondering if you guys knew anything more about it???

Like is the auto salon there worth it????

Would it maybe be more worth while goign early and going to TAS instead of FAS?

Cheers,

Duncan.

Yeah theres always some tuff cars at Fu_kuoka AS, but it's definately not on the same scale as Tkyo, and even Osaka is bigger. I'd go to Fu_kuoka for sightseeing first - Auto salon second. I'd go to Tokyo for the Salon first - sightseeing second...

i think 1 day is plenty. Last year I was there just for one morning. I guess it depends how many photos you want to take... waiting for people to get out of the way who are waiting for others who are waiting for others to get out of the way to take a photo of what you want to take a photo of can take a while...

on another note did anyone go to the awesome dog show at makuhari late last year ? :P

Yes you can, though generally its smaller parts only, not alot of engine hardware.

There is bling there, sure - but there is also one of the biggest collections of incredibly modified street, drag and drift cars you will ever see.

Michael, I can help - Richard and I will be there for two weeks across the time of Autosalon and so will a few others.

We will be quite busy with parts sourcing, workshop visits, drinking and hopefully some more drifting :)

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
