actually aren't bosozoku pretty heavily targetted by japanese police? I remember reading about police cracking down on em. But these meetings aren't exactly all about them, so I guess the cops don't mind.

i know japan is tight on space so you have got to think how the f**k can those guys in those vans find somewhere to park. id love to see them try to reverse parrallell park one of those on a busy street :P

evo lee are most of these cars with crazy mods street legal?? i would have thought that huge wheel arches that look like they are held on with sticky tape and bubble gum and oil coolers hung on the bumper using coathanger wire would not be legal

Nothing is legal in Japan :P just the cops don't bother with it...the rule is don't cause trouble and they will not bother you. By right if the arches were not on the factory car or not engineered, which means the wheels are infact sticking 2inches out of the guard...it's defectable.

As for driving around the streets...you will be surprised how well the truckies in Japan drive, I have seen a semi get through the back streets with precision, if a Aust truckie was to guage how close and tight he had to manoeuvre in Japan he will be saying "NO WAY can you get around that corner"...Japanese truckies will make him eat his words time after time.

Yeah, the term Bozosoku is a little misleading in the thread title. Usually people consider the bike gangs to be bozosoku, but like DaiOni said the term can be used in a derogatory way to refer to a wide range of car groups/cultures and fanatics :P

    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
    • Quite right, typing without checking, it is an 023 which was effectively the replacement for 040 (not that I could find either of them on the Bosch motorsport AU site), and it has a mesh inlet at the bottom of the pump rather than a separate filter
    • Hmm. I should have thought of the clutch bleeding issue. It should be #1 thought for "can't select gears". As to "sounds like the top".....have you actually gone out with the stethoscope and tried to pin it down any more than that? And, buy or borrow a timing light, and set the timing properly.
    • I donโ€™t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS ๐Ÿ˜‚, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,ย  got the box sorted ๐Ÿ˜Œ, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
