couldn't have expressed it better myself! :D

you guys will be fine without nick and I. Lawsons are in heaps of places like 7-11, but you can just buy your tickets at TAS. I think it's only a 500 yen saving anyway.

as for the parts shops, your best bet is to buy an option magazine. find a shop in your area that you want to go to. take it to the hotel reception and they will write out some insructions for you - like which station to get off at etc.  That is what we have done before and it works like a charm :( I don't know if i want to go in a group cause if there is a set of turbos i want to buy, and nick wants to buy, and two other people want to buy it may get ugly! lol. rock paper scissors is never pretty when i loose :)

have fun boys, and just be wary of the vending machines in back alleys, they can be a little rough.

Yes, myself and a friend will be meeting up with NIck any yourself for autosalon, and probably to go parts shopping also :D

What plans do you people have? Meet ups, piss ups <_<

We are going on friday pressday and in the evening I think we are doing a C1/Daikoku thing.

Saturday we will also be at TAS and maybe some car stuff afterwards.

Sunday is chillout day, so we will see what comes up.

    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
    • Id like to race in the US i think alot of those track would suit me   For the s15? Youd be stuck between club sprint and the new Open Am wouldnt you depending on how much interior you have left in
