Whooo hooo... I'm going to Japan at the end of May through the middle of June to see family and to go siteseeing. So for all of you guys that have been to the Mugen factory and other places what do you recomend to see that is s2000 related.... Also are there any contacts I need to get in touch with in order to set up an appointment

 

well, if you're going to be anywhere near Osaka, i can maybe arrange for you a quick tour of J's Racing's facilities

 

Thanks Ming,
My uncle actually owns an electronics factory in Osaka and most of my mother's family lives in the city as well. This is kind of cool considering I have the j's racing exhaust as well. I'll have to get with my mom to coordinate when and where we will be over the 2.5 weeks i'm there. Do you know who I should talk to to possibly arrange a Mugen tour as well?

I have undertaken to delete my posts of any content here since the Management here has made this an unfriendly place for me and the club I founded and am President of, the S2000 Club of America, Inc. and they have claimed that my words have somehow become THEIR property and I think that's pretty uncool. If you would like to read whatever post, please contact me at greg@s2kca.com. Thanks

[B]... King Motorsports set up our tour, in which we saw the whole complex...but I am pretty sure that tours are made for the general public, as well.

 

Well I`m finally here in japan. I am scheduled to go to the mugen facility on monday but so far have been unable to line up a tour, but will instead be going to the showcase there. Does anyone know if King Motorsports might be able to shoehorn me into someone else`s group who is touring the facility? I`m also staying in Higashi, Osaka with family. Does anyone know how close I am to the J`s racing facility and if I could get a tour (mingster..... ). I have a two week shinkansen pass so i can pretty much go anywhere i want.
Funny thing was on the way back from kansai airport my cousin was driving us to Higashi and a Honda NSX, that had what i thought were mugen wheels went cruising past at ohhh 120+ miles per hour. I`m still trying to get used to walking right next to the street with cars, bikes, trucks, and buses flying by only six inches away. Of course I`ll have to post all of my pics once I get back to the states.... already have some pictures of some pretty sweet cars!
