Is your mate Tomonori's frined in D1, Yoshioka Toshiki?

YES!!! Tomonori's friend has been driving in D1 for 2 years now I think. in a hachi roku too, with his team (Cool D) stickers on ;)

way to go tosh with the obscure D1 knowledge! ;) most people unless I say taniguchi, or nomuken etc have NFI what I'm on about. Tomonori is also very talented. but I think not dedicated enough to be a D1 prospect, but he does have sponsorship already :D

Watching all those Option DVD's pays off :action-smiley-069:

Yoshioka is a FREAKING good driver!!! He won the 2005 Round 4 in Autopolis which is a MEAN feat considering how fast Autopolis is and how much it suits the high horsepowered cars.

In that round he beat Nomuken (530ps BLITZ R34) then Kumakubo (550ps Team Orange/JUN WRX & 2006 Champion) then Suenaga (460ps RE Amemiya FD3S RX7 & 2005 Runner Up) and finally Hibino (Sunrise/Mercury AE86)

Just found this on the D1GP website

cool! yeah, tomonori was very proud that a member of his team is in D1. :wave: Actually their cars are quite similar if anything Tomo's car is a bit lighter (less safety gear I guess), but a bit less power too (maybe 230ps).

I love the old option vids too. My friend gave me a 2004 option dvd as a present while I was there. It features Tsukuba Super Lap back when the HKS and Cyber EVOs first ran 55s... awesome vid.

yep

Imamura was in a brown AE86

Taniguchi was driving his own personal S15 which started out Yellow then got resprayed Red

Nomuken, Kumakubo and Tanaka weren't competing

Ueno in the Vertex Soarer was dominant

Tezuka drove a Chaser and not the Bee R Skyline

Miki was in a blue S14

photo shop? webspace? me not understand. or I as often find my self saying: sumimasen, wakarimasen.

you should be proud that I know how to upload to image shack and then link the hosted pics to display here! I can be a bit noob at times. I dont have a working copy of photoshop (i'd love one though if someone is obliging!) and I do have 50mb webspace with my isp but never used it and have NFI how... so i'll just battle on with image shack. with a fast connection it's not so bad anyway.

loving this thread richard!

i like the random shots... and you have a great skill of being able to remember stuff. Like the name of streets and that it was facing east and what area is around it etc.. I would be like "umm this is a nice street. in the city somewhere" lol

what were all those girls dressed up like that for? please explain lol. I've seen it before but why do they do it, and why are they all hanging around there together?

most importantly: did I get any more pressies this time? :happy:

I love the Purple GTR ,, Have you got any other shots of the area you live in as it is good to see what you wont see on tv and adds etc

(((ANDREW )))

Hi Shell, glad you like the pics. well as for why people get into the cos play I really dont know. I think it's a way to get attention. Makes them feel good I guess so why not? It's certainly out there! with the hanging out at harajuku well it's just a popular place to meet for the cos-play-zoku I dont know how it started though it is a very trendy area in tokyo and bit like darlinghurst or acutally more like newtown here. so it's a natural kind of place for people on the fringe to hang out.

dave, I dont know the saurus site, but I'll ask my friend for you. he knows hayashi-san quite well.

andrew, I'll try and get a chance to do some more pics. glad you like 'em :P I do still have lots.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
