Okay guys, my luck isn't to great today, junkyard was interesting but not the cars i wanted to see, and tonights weather in Tsuyama city is 0 celsius and will be raining...now in the mountains might have black ice, due to weather...maybe no touge runs for anyone until late april i was told. I did take a few pictures on how narrow the roads are here in Tsuyama and its like this everywhere...since its a country town and not a major city, people drive around each other...although i am loving the quiet nature around this place...and the homes here are over 400yrs old but not these houses i don't think, they look somewhat new maybe. K-san is taking me to the Tsuyama city castle maybe sat or monday.....that should be interesting here are the pics of the roads and houses around tsuyama city;

Wheels that will be sent over in our container...the SSR Professors are mine but these are up for bids.... THIS IS NOT A FS THREAD....KEEP THAT TO THE FS SECTION 9.

After 4 years, I am ready to be home! hahaha
The gas is expensive. They primarily use trains. Gas is anywhere from $5(ish) a gallon and up in the Tokyo area...

each liter of High Octane runs about 157 yen (close to $1.57) so...$1.57 x 4 = $6.28 per US Gallon.... yep... and you stateside boys and girls thought YOU had high gas prices. I did 10 years here from 1993-2003. Been back since May 07. Pretty much setting up to retire here. Looking at buying a house in the near future...

:laugh::laugh: hey peeps, i got to the hotel yesterday night around 11pm and started to upload the pictures, well from drinking beer to hot saki during out dinner party which was awesome....i decided to like lay down on the bed until the uploads were finished and guess what....:boring:
haha i wake up this morning still in the same position i laid down last night waiting for the uploads to finish. Well here they are. As far as the items i bought, its just to show what i have for now, will maybe go do some more shopping later this week so nothing is for sale yet. You can call dibs on them and send me a deposit but i am not take full payment until i get back, so enjoy!! Oh plus it will be in the For Sale section not here. This is just a picture diary thread! 1. Here is the wonderful Eri san that drove me around yesterday in that Navy Blue Mark JZX100, BALLER when a japanese girl drives you around town in that sick ass car 2. On the way from Tsuyama city to Okayama city....a pretty distant drive but of course scenary is amazing, cause Florida sucks... **By the way, the highways here are very nice to open up the car but Eri was afraid to...lol 400whp JZX100 3. Arrived in Okayama city in about 1.5 hours.....so took some shots from car while driving towards Up Garage 4. Pulling into Up Garage parking lot....my heart was pounding like a 5 yr old arrive to Disney land for the first time 5. Some cars parked outside in front of store 6. Okay....the rest of the pics are taken from inside and outside Up Garage. And the thing with Up Garage is you have to be lucky that day to catch what you are exactly looking for. Since all used parts and always constantly busy, things fly out the door like no tomorrow. **Suspension Heaven** **more wheels inside** **Turbo's selling for $250-$350 TD06 Trust/Garret/Tomei but all for 1J/2J/RB* **your JDM bucket/reclinable seats without the worries of waiting for shipping **Exhaust systems listed under each application, again all USED** **Sway bars galore** 7. Eri san and I went to Okayama city's mall to have lunch inside, and i saw this Pussy Shag wagon...lol crazy :laugh: **Then look what i saw in person in the parking garage which i shit a brick.....OMG!! 8. After lunch, we headed to Autobacs and I also found out her brother is a mechanic at Autobacs so he was able to hook it up with a family discount!! **my dumb ass smiling like i am living my dream, well i guess i was.....:laugh: **here ya go, more JDM parts galore** Set 2 coming next

HOLY SHIT!!! well here are the pics.....enjoy, and tomorrow is D1SL....yay yaaayyy:rockon:
