My friend just got back from Japan today. Look what she brought me...

Check out those JDM center caps and the rare clear side markers which fit the JDM front.


Oh yeah! I'm sure I will be hated for having this. The offical Honda integra/type R book. And also the new HyperRev style integra book featuring the new R!


Oh yes, I gotta have my skyline stuff. The 1 hyperRev mag that I don't have and also the new skyline offical book featuring the VspecII!!! to add to my other book I have.


Here's more killer offical books on the evo and wrx.


More impreza books


Some of the info on from the offical honda R book!


Plus some more pictures from it...


and more new R vs. old R


A few engine specs...


and more new R vs. old R...


Yeah I tought that you would like that! Anyway, I will scan the whole book once I get this stuip scanner working on my computer. Also I will be going to Jap. mid Sept. if all goes well. I got a killer deal on this trip, so we'll see...

You should have had her pic up the Book on the right The new Hyper Rev Integra 2 Vol#62

 

stop it!!!! LOL

 

I already got those. However I heard that their is this other mag which is all about the type R track events that honda outs on. Kinda like our US Velocity mag. I'm gonna try to get that when I'm their.

 

Cool when in Sept..???

 

yoshi's gonna be jealous

 

I belive the 2nd week. I want to attend the ALMS race on the first weekened, then after that I think I'm gonna go till Sept 16 or so. I figure a week their should do the trick. Anyone know about taking loans out from the bank for car parts? lol
I'm gonna try to bring back as much stuff as possible. My friends uncle their owns a dealership and is able to get most OEM items at cost plus also has connections with spoon, etc... So we'll see. I'm figuring that I will bring back around 5 bags myself, plus others...

 

Great you should hit MiraiZ and me up when you get the finnal details ....Also Narita is kind of **** when doing you check in for baggage.... so they might want to chage you one ends when leaving for extra baggage and other car trinkets

 

Mike,

I hope you are exaggerating. If you try to bring back 5 bags of car parts, US Customs will have a freakin field day.

The personal exemption for goods purchased abroad is USD 400; you can fudge that a little, but I would be careful not to get greedy.

 

lol, thats too funny. I actually already sent Miazi an E_mail. My friend's place is also in Yokohama which is perfect! Yeah we will totally have to meet up seeing that I will be living right next to you. Send me and E-mail if you want and I'll give you the details. fosgaterul@aol.com

 

Yeah from what I found out is that I'm allowed to take 3 bags per person. My friend will take my two other bags so I will have 5 total. As for the cost, well I can fudge that a little! Also her uncle might have contacts for a crate that gets sent back and forth to the US, so I might just us that. I'll probally have more details later this week. As for the $400, we'll people have brought back JDM seats without too much problems.

 

What are ya lookin to buy as far as parts go when ya get here..???? I know of about 5~6 places in Yokohama that Sell used **** for dirt cheap. And MiraiZ can Speak the Nihongo pretty good

 

I'm looking for lots of stuff. I do know that a visit to Top Fuel is a must, as well as Toda if possible. As for why, we'll you'll see! But yeah, I would totally like to go with you to those palces to get some stuff. I'm sure that I will find more then enough items to get. Yeah please let Miraiz know that I'm coming to Yokohama and I would like to meet up. We'll have a little B18C5 meet! hahahahaha

 

Consider it done ....Muhahahaha I'll tell him tonight

 

Nice pics, it's just a bitch trying to load them at home with my slow connection.

 

Mike..

Sorry I didn't answer your e-mail ...been getting tons of mail from this groupbuy thing.... yeah...whenever you get here give me a ring...maybe we can all meet up at Super Autobacs...I need to get a dyno soon.

Are you going to go all the way down to Mie to the Top Fuel Garage? I went there about 2 years ago. It took 4 hours to get there from Yokohama. If the owner is there, its pretty cool 'cuase he's got a kick *** car, but otherwise its a pretty boing place.

sounds good to me! But yeah I would like to go to the top fuel garage if possible. I need to check out some stuff and maybe pick up some items from them.
Yeah hopfully the owner will be their. When I talked to him last (a few months ago) he said that if I come by, he would give me a ride in the R since I been working with them for so long. Anyway, yeah I'm sure you know all the cool places to go, so that will help. I think that with the 3 of you (my friend Mai, you and Dave SiR) we will have no problem getting around.
I also want to check out the Yokohama bridge action at night! I heard its killer! This trip is like a life time dream of mine, so I want it to be great! Not to mention that I will be able to check out your JDM R! hahahahah

Only if you could come to Japan in Oct ..it'd be sweet...you've got the Tokyo Motor show coming up where the New NSX is suppose to debut along with Toyota's new Super Car and possibly the S2000 Type R.

Not to mention the install of my turbo kit

 

yeah I wish I could get out their for it then! However I have class practally everyday in Oct. Maybe if I took a day off say Friday and Monday and left Thurs night, I would be able to be their Friday, Sat, and Sun and come back Monday. However I doubt that it would work well. Either it will be mid-Sept. or maybe Dec. But I would rather go now! I'll let you know!

 

December would be Cool I wont be out at sea then PLUS we should have MiraiZ turbo kit in and on line Then Also My car will have the POWER FC Put in and ready to give MiraiZ a run for his money with my X

 

awesome!...that would keep me busy for a long time!...too bad the text is in japanese though!

 

Yeah..that would be cool...maybe I could get some of the Skyline GTR boyz together and we can go to a track and just battle it out...give them a run for their money!!
