You're thinking what I'm thinking.


Now, THIS is a trip. Looks like you had a blast. And you're making me hungry with all those pics.

I work for a japanese company in southern california so i have had to brush up on my japanese. I can understand and speak a little. I would not go as far as to say fluent as i cannot read or write it. But, they were very helpful in trying to speak english also.

sad days: my friend from r magic picked me up to to go narita airport, have lunch and board the plane.















I also have pics from BEE-R, URAS, TRD Technocraft, i will post pics in the other cars sections.

I am very thankful for this trip, and i hope to take many good ones in the future.

The night before, friday night, there was a miata meet at daikoku futo, and i saw this yellow NA miata with a full RS Aizawa engine and Individual throttle bodies. That was the best miata i saw.











This Ken-Mary Skyline was dope:



And the Toyota truck crew, slammed trucks and hydraulics. Very cool.







I will convert more of the videos and upload and set them up for viewing.

I also wanted to give a HUGE THANKS to Tom (Circuit Theory) for recieving me at Narita airport and helping me get my footholds in japan. If you read this, thanks very much tom.

So did you just show up at all the mod dealers? Like just show up at Rmagic, and scoot. Or was it all pre-arranged?

It was planned beforehand, and that probably helped a lot.
