Just came back from Japan Vacation (56K No chance)
I left for japan to meet old friends/meet new people and visited the rotary industry in japan. Many nice cars, and many nice people. Shops visited include: SCOOT Sports, R magic, Knightsports, Top Fuel Racing, Revolution, RE AMEMIYA, Fujita Engineering, and Makers 7.
I also had a ton of fun at tokyo auto salon (went with R magic), and generally in japan also. I will post pics of the country and other stuff as well too. I just arrived in USA on saturday, Feb 2nd at 10:30 am.
I hope people enjoy the pictures/videos.
I arrived in japan on Jan 9th at around 6 pm, and that night I pretty much went to the hotel and crashed out.
On Thursday, Jan 10th, i visited my friend at R magic at their shop. I was picked up at the Kamimizo train station, and went to their facility.
They had to go to Tokyo auto salon to setup their car at the OPTION 2 booth. So, they loaded up the trailer.
On the way there:

Unloading at Makuhari Messe:
We were really tired and it was about 10 pm when we were all done,
so we went to the house of the chief mechanic, and had dinner with his
wife. Served plenty of gyoza and beer. Since his house was close to the
hall, we all crashed there for the night.
Next morning, on friday we went to grab a train to Tokyo auto salon.
Some pics of japan, and McD's for breakfast.
Saw this in japan, was kinda funny and ironic. A decent condition 5.0
Notchback.
I am sure there are plenty of pic threads about tokyo auto salon (i can
post if asked), but i will skip it for now.
Friday night after the first night/press day, i met with Mr.koseki from
Scoot and we went to yokohama to have dinner. Sorry for the bad pics.
After that, we stopped by daikoku futo, saw the crowd. And then i had the chance to record this video from the passenger seat of the 4 rotor FD3S. I have more vids of the 4 rotor FD3S, i need to have them converted and uploaded.

Next day, i visited the Scoot Workshop, which is about 10-15 mins from
R-magic's shop.
The day after, through a recommendation, i also visited Mr.Aoki from
REVOLUTION to see their in-house all carbon FD, and their old black
time attack FD3S. All carbon and suspension parts are made in house.

Thank you all for kind words, i will upload the rest of the stuff tonight.
Both my bags were pretty full from stuff i already took with me, so i did not have a chance to buy much. I did buy a Yupiteru Radar/Laser Detector, but i am having it shipped to my house.
