Hey More Pics!
Altezza RS200 at Yokohama bay
Bodykits on a Minivan? Only in Japan
Minivans!!!
More Mugen Stuff at Autobacs
Nismo Stuff at Autobacs
Some R33 in Shibuya
I caught this Skyline from the bus window, it's kind of blurred
Same Skyline
Some red car. It's not a Subaru. Some European car.
Why can't they sell these here?! Renaults kick @$$
Wheels at the Autobac
More Wheels!
A Z at the Autobacs. Must be an employee's car
The Sony building in Ginza
If you go to Tokyo, you gotta go to the Autobacs. It's as big as a Costco with 2 stories. There's a fast food joint on the 2nd floor if you're too tired of looking at all the Mugen/Spoon/STi/Nismo/TRD stuff casually strewn about.
They offer Honda Integra customers an Acura "Conversion" for about Y3000. That includes the gold "A" and "Acura" emblems.
But it's not just Honda. There are Lexus conversions as well as Infiniti conversions.
I'm going to Korea this September. I probably won't see cool cars but they got females!
This time I won't be at such a language disadvantage.

Rep Power: 309 O man....last time I was in Japan, I missed out on all the auto stores and sites. I'll have to check that out next time.
Renaults aren't bad but I'd rather see more Citroens around. The US should import some
For anyone going to Japan, the coolest sites there are the 300mph bullet trains, the cars, the technology, and the toilets!!! Some clean your butt, are pressure sensative, play music, and spray air freshner. I wish I could bring a toilet back to the states

If you want to go to Japan, it'll cost you a few bills but it's definitely worth the experience.
I got my tickets for $578 roundtrip.
Lodging: free. But sleeping on a wooden floor for a week wasn't too fun
Food: $75/day (it may be less for you if you don't drink heavily every night)
Train: $10-$20/day... could be less if you stay in one place, I was all over Tokyo
Games: Y100 or $0.84 a play. Play as much Initial D as possible, it's addicting
When people say that stuff in Japan is expensive, it's true.
If you got a craving for steak, then prepare to shell out Y6500 ($54.62) for one.
A burger? Try Y800 ($6.72)
In Tokyo you HAVE to get okinomiyaki... especially the Hiroshima style with soba noodles.

Just Joking, I'm not trying to be a *****.
So far Japan hasn't had a single SARS case. But watch out for the raw food.
The sushi is fine, it's the raw chicken that you gotta watch out for.
I went to this restaurant in Shibuya on my last night there and had some raw chicken dishes.
Don't get me wrong, it was delicious, but then again anything's delicious when you're drunk.
They also served sliced chicken on a stick that's grilled, but it's still pink in the inside.
But a few days later, my brother, my friend and I all came down with the stomach flu.
100+ degree fevers, bodyaches, the runs 15x+ a day isn't worth it.
The sad thing is that 2 weeks later, I can only eat 30-50% of what I could normally eat.
