adding tokyo motor show to my list. i booked my flight last week.

 

ill be there top of november, how is the weather that time of year, im a native floridian and any thing below 60F is cold for me

 

You can bring whatever you want. You just have to pay for shipping. I came with the max luggage i could take without paying extra and left with an extra huge box. I brought back a bucket seat (box is huge) and a bunch of smaller stuff, all for $50 extra.

Don't forget to see Feel's Twincam. I believe they have 3 locations in Tokyo/Yokohama. I went to 2 stores and at both no one spoke english at all, so it would be helpful to have someone that can speak Japanese. The guys at Feel's were the most helpful at any car shop ive ever been to. So helpful i ended up spending way too much there Normal autobacs arnt that special, but ASM is definitely cool. Check the ASM website to see if you want any of there used parts. http://autobacs-asm.com/used_parts.html

There's a port by ASM that has pretty cool car shows on the weekends. I forgot the name of it, but it's made out of bricks and pretty well known in Yokohama. I saw a rally car show and this summer i saw a Nissan car show with a bunch of cool race cars.

 

i'm getting way too excited about shopping.

 

I was in tokyo this past summer. You should definitely check out Odaiba, if you're in Tokyo. Its definitely a cool place. Here is a picture I took this summer. Too bad they took it down.

 

is a trip to Up Garage for used parts worthwhile?

 

I'm hitting Japan on Friday too, almost like a little S2KI mini meet
I'm hearing Super Autobacs in Odaiba is a good to check out aftermarket and used parts. I think just the Autobacs is more like the pepboys

I stumbled across these car site for visiting Japan, a few good tidbits of info when you click the other 3 articles labeled "here".

There supposed to be worth it. I didn't get out to them, but I wanted too.

 

leaving on the 3rd, lets just say i dont get a rail pass.....i'll be pretty much dishing out a bunch of money to travel right?

so i found out my iphone wont work over there, is there a mobile solution>?

 

any updates/pics ??
