Leewah's trip to Japan (Dialup Warning)

[Leewah]

Finally here are some of the photos which I took while on my 3 week romp through Japan.

Taken from the Crystal workshop in Chiba

Some doorift shop in Yokohama

A mad ass Hummer from Hiroshima

A taxi carpark in Kyoto

Not all people in Japan drive Skylines, Supras or Sylvias. This is the most common type of car you'll see there

Here is some outrageously priced fruit. This price is roughly AU$400.00!!!!! That's an expensive set of melons

This is a warning sign which I found amusing at a sulphuric volcano near Hakone. Needless to say, we didn't stay very long but the view from there was amazing, especially seeing Mt Fuji. Fuji truely is a big mutherfarker!!

Here are some photos I took while at Tommy Kiara.

A Tommy 350Z

A Tommy Subi B4

A Tommy Subi B6

They even do a March!!

This is the car I want!! A Garaya!!

A WRX with minor mods for sale...

Top Secrect anyone?? Based in Chiba, their workshop is just off the main road about 10 mins by taxi from a train station. This 10 min ride also cost me 2500yen (bout AU$33).

This is a customers R34 GTR with all the trimmings. This is his daily driver and pulled 495awkw on pump gas. I was told that if the customer was happy with this car, he was gonna get Top Secret to build him a low 8 sec drag car.

Another customer car. Apparently running twin TD06-25Gs and NOS. Should be making around the 600rwkw mark without stupid amounts of boost.

A customer's brand new G35 Skyline Coupe getting ready for a TT setup

Here are some Top Secret customer cars which are for sale, not including their own R33GTR

Some of Top Secret's own cars. Good luck getting into the garage. As soon as Nagata saw me, he looked like he was going to go postal until I told him I was from Oz and showed him my mag artical and dyno chart. From then on, we got along just fine

Top Secret R34 GTRs

And the piece de resistance....The RB powered Supra with a T78 turbo setup which I had the pleasure of going for a brief ride in with Nagata San. Unfortunately it was a wet day out there and the highway had 3 of the 4 lanes closed so we ended up buring up the rubber on a couple side streets and down the main road in Chiba. Plenty of power and nice spooling. You don't really notice the "lightspeed" kind of pull you get in my car, but I guess it's hard to feel that when the car is simply spinning the rears at 150km/h and smoke it pouring out the back.

Finally, here is a photo of myself and Shibuki san, Director of Top Secret.
