Just got back from Tokyo and an awesome trip it was. Weather was awesome until it snowed Sunday night & Monday morning. TAS was great but the trip was really good since I got to visit Panspeed and RMagic. So far, I have visited RE Amemiya, Fujita Engineering, Leg Motorsports, Makers (now defunct), and now Panspeed and RMagic.

Wow, these are so rad. I'm REALLY bummed that I didn't take the time to go do fun car stuff the last time I was in Japan...maybe this Summer...

Thanks for sharing these, the RMagic shop is unbelievable lol.

 

Man I am so jealous.

I'll be going to Japan this summer with my family, hope to make time to go visit Pan Speed and RE-A

 

Awesome pics Charlie. Jealous.

 

Loved going through all the pics, especially seeing the ones of Panspeed!
