TAS - The other good bits

Without a doubt, my favourite car at TAS was this Rolls. Junction Produce have made this thing look soo cool.

Rolling on 24" rims and bags, I can see this kenworth looking sedan crushing purists at pebble beach.

I only need a beautiful Japanese lady with a crisp english ancent to complete the dream picture. I don't ask for much.

Studie BMW with Super Expensive TWS alloys.

More and more manufacturers are doing the Race thing these days. Sti WRC style track car. Ring runner.

Artis Audi covered with the coolest handbag vinyl plastic. gotta touch....

Dumped Lambos roar Cool.

Drift style from final connection. this 180 was running AME tracers and some serios camber. I love this style. Reminds me of Koguchis old green car.

A cool feature was the inner wheel rims. Large stickers contrasting well..

Nismo GTR-RC35 was contrasting HUGE BRAKES with new Nismo VR G2

I remember building 2 models of this car when I was around 10 years old. Thats unfortunately 30 years ago.

The BBS on this cop car were cool.

Gram Lights. DC finish.

Best colour at TAS. Re-Amemiya's D1 kitted Hattari 8. Auto trans cruiser. great for Tokyo traffic.

Supraudently by Veilside. confusing.

TE37 SL pressence at TAS was huge. Almost no normal TE37 to be seen.

One of my favourite cars of All time. The mitsu GTO from pitroad. This car does endurance racing and time attack. 800hp+

My favourite wheel of all time. RGII

I've thought the TCIII could take the crown. But it fell a tiny but short.

And what TAS review wouldn't be complete without a shot of .... ahhh. If you want more, there are many galleries on the web.

Tokyo Auto Salon Wheels - Advan TC-III

I asw these in Optino Magazine in Matt Black.

At TAS they Arrived in Gun Grey. Very cool! But somehow not perfect.

The machined contrast is a bit strong.

The silver items looked perfect. 18x11.0J = wide.

RS-D prototype in RED... yummy candy!

Rays Logo

All you RAYS Fans... better get used to changes. Rays have changed their logo which means the ICONIC logo will be no longer available. All the copies will easily be identifyable again and they have also introduced a copy proof Authentication Logo on all wheels.

Still BOLD and STRONG.

RAYS

S 2 Million!

This S2000 is crazy! Turbo tuning using a trust engine kit with (T518z), Big brakes and drivetrain to enjoy a multi purpose machine. 


The exterior has been dressed up around a spoon body kit, but many parts of one off. Custom wheels HRE C21 (18 inches).

The interior has installed a one-off audio box under the spoon cover, this is a pretty special S2000

A car like this is amazingly cheap. Around 25K right now at lead cars.

It seems as the tuning scene dies in Japan, bargains are becoming available.

If I had this money today... It might be mine. Screaming VTEC, Whining Turbine with BOV and open air... can't get much better than that.

Juro Merc

This pic from the RS-Watanabe site really has me interested.

I have always been a fan of the old mercs and I love a convertible car. They are just fun. There are a few old mercs in Australia with 20B cosmo engines and this one has the style down almost perfect. Maybe the fronts could be a little wider spaced or the rears just a hint narrower, but near perfect.

It should inspire someone.

Or this will http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdQy49YkDjI
Get back to the Old school.
