N1 Concepts visits JAPAN's premiere tuners! (A LOT OF PICS)
Just to give you a background on who N1 Concepts is in case some of you have not heard of us. We are Northern California's biggest importer for JDM Honda parts from Japan as well as a J's Racing distributor for North America. You may have seen us in Super Street, Import Tuner, and D-Sport magazine. We brought you the first K20 Honda Fit that ran a 12.7 quarter mile and was featured in many popular magazines. You can spot us at our blog at http://n1concepts-inc.blogspot.com/ or our website at http://www.n1concepts.com.

Tokyo DAY 2!!!
We started bright and early on day 2. Our friend in Tokyo picked us up in his HIACE after breakfast to head over to our first destination. FEEL’s Honda Twin CAM. Fortunately, FEEL’s was nice enough to give us part of their time to give us a shop tour. However, we were limited to what we can take pictures of. The shop has 2 levels. The service area and showroom is on the first floor.
The second floor is normally closed off to the public, which consisted of their ever so famous FD2 Type R Civic. We were not able to take any pictures due to their request. The FD2 according to their head mechanic/tuner weighed less than 800 kg!!! (1763 lbs) It was able to pull a 1’00”56 on the Tsukuba Circuit and a 1’53”25 at Fuji Speedway. Here are the pictures we were allowed to take:
Street Demo car!!!
You can see from this picture the second floor where they store their race cars. The FD2 cannot be seen, but the NSX Type R is visible through the window!
Stay tuned as N1 Concepts is working on bringing you FEEL’s TWIN CAM in the future!!! We thank FEEL’s TWIN CAM for giving us their time to show us around.
On our tight schedule, we took a 15 minute ride to our next destination. This shop does not need much introduction as their products are very popular here in the states. Type ONE.

Type ONE is a very clean shop. Their head mechanic greeted us and let us take many pictures. Unfortunately we were so awed that we didn’t take any pictures of the first floor where they had a few aggressive S2000 setups. We thank Type One for giving us the time to take pictures and give us a small tour of the shop.
Our next destination before we leave for Osaka is seen as a very prestige shop. So prestige that our friend in Japan says they don’t need signage on their building. People just know.

Yes…that was PowerHouse Amuse. During our visit, they were in a business meeting. We were not able to meet with the staff as we had to drive back to the JR station to catch our bullet train to Osaka. Hopefully we will be able to go back and get more coverage next time.
Stay tuned…next stop….. OSAKA!!!
