Just had these 4 converted and uploaded to youtube.
I hope you guys like them.
1) Just a nice walkaround of the SCOOT FD.

2) Me free-revving the car Part 1

3) Part 2 of the above
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYH1LYKuN0c
4) Just cruising around town. Somewhat boring, but bursts of accelertation.

I have many more coming up, but these 4 were converted and uploaded so far, along with the main wangan video. The reason the car stalls is because the car idles on 2 rotors, and past 4000 RPMS, 4 rotors engage. The car has 2 power FCs. When you get the revs up, and when it comes back down, there is a fuel cut so it doesnt waste gas, very gentle accelerator control is needed so it doesnt stall. I was still trying to figure it out lol.

This is an incredible thread. I've wanted to visit Japan since I was in elementary school, and this makes me want to go even worse. Maybe after I graduate in May, I can figure out how to get over there and check it out!

Amazing pictures. Congratulations on such an amazing trip. My mouth was hanging open for the entire first page, literally. Can't wait to watch the videos when I get home.

Your pictures and vids make me miss japan so much.
When i visited last over the summer i was so shy to go visit these shops because my japanese wasn't very good yet. however it's gotten much better as of lately.
Miata_Mx5 i'd like to talk with you about the shops you visited and how you got around japan. I found it difficult to find places like the shops you visited and even if i did i had no way of getting there reasonably.
I plan on returning again hopefully the end of the upcoming summer or the spring of 2009.
Btw you had lots of tuna flakes on your Takoyaki....also i'm pretty sure i got my takoyaki from the same place in Akihabara.
