I Heart Japan!

Just a couple random pics from my recent trip to Japan. If you guys have never been there......put it on your list of places to go. For the JDM car enthusiast, food addict, and girl chaser......it's the place to be. Sorry guys, couldn't take any pics of the beautiful JDM girls, but trust me, they are there and in mass quantities. Here you go:










And Jayden with his best JDM pose and a new '08 STi. I was so excited to be
there (Car-Do, or Subaru of Tachikawa), that I forgot to get in and check it out.



And here's a few other pics to drool over. It's the Parts showroom at Tachikawa Subaru. The pics speak for themselves......Can you say JDM Goodness?







Just a couple Non-Suby Hotness........
Accord Si-R wagon. I would totally rock this if I went back to my Honda roots.


Prodrive equipped GT-R



Altezza with white Works......well, I'm pretty sure they're not Torque's


I'll try and post some more pics in a little bit

More pics

Here's a couple from UpGarage. UpGarage is a used parts chain of stores across Japan. Tons of wheels and tires, exhausts, body kits, suspension etc. You can really find some nice deals here, but shipping may be costly. All I can say is that those Japanese are lucky!



What about a nice set of Work Mesister S1's with brand new tires for around $850 (US dollars)? Sound good to you?


Or what about a set of goldies for around $450 with some Bridgestone RE-01's?


If not, maybe you may like the white TE-37's with RE-01r's for a little under $800?

WOW you can get those nice rims for THAT CHEAP?!

How much is the U.S. importer raping people for then? Even with shipping it can't be anywhere close to those prices!

Anyways, nice pictures...Japan is on our list but I think we're gonna do Italy first...maybe hit Germany and see the ring.
