More!!!!!
So, I took like 400 pics, and I'm not posting them all for you fuckers

If you've got questions about something, post it up and I'll try my best, I'm on car overload

I've got everything in 2048 as well, so if you want high res, I can do that too. Camera's not that great, and a bunch are blurry/clipped as I took them from a moving car, but there you go.

From my buddie's place in Nashuninoya (I think, lol)
Count the Subarus!

Blitzen!!!!

Honda museum at Motegi; this place was absolutely amazing.

Dakar-winning bike:

Good to know we're a positive influence.......arg.

mmmmmmmm, E30

Drag racing at Motegi, but there's something a little different.............

Our room is the 3rd window from the right on the top floor.........rough, eh?

This is what I'd be driving........

It ran an 11.2 and absolutely spanked the american iron next to it.

Remember when I said it was a little different? How many times have you a seen a real GS 'vette, a Syclone, and an R32 running at the drags?

Parking lot.....

Hott!

Yes, that's the exhaust.

And, one of the best parts of the trip, the cherry blossoms were in bloom. It really is amazing.

Of course we went to Super Autobacs, where I saw not one, but TWO, of these.

Both real. I was speechless.

And, demonstrating once more that life just isn't fair......

The car.....

And the price......

That's all for now.
Rest are at http://www.hooptywagon.com/img/japan06/

Great pics!

tysonK · 2006-03-29, 08:48 PM

I was watching that asimo video, it's still very creepy.

sybir · 2006-03-29, 09:10 PM

Good call, Tyson. That thing was hot, and running -2 camber all the way around, on PFF7's. Saw an Odyssey with 'em too, shit was hot.

-2? I'm at -4 deg of camber just to make the tires fit!

cody · 2006-03-29, 10:08 PM

I considered just getting an alignment since my tires only just barely rub, but I don't have adjustable camber bolts in the back.

Um, that's gonna cost as much as renting the rolling tool, and gives you adjustability that's very useful to have. Plus installing the bolts is less work than rolling the fenders.

As much as I'd like to help Aaron out with the cost of that tool, camber bolts are the right answer.

Or get 225/45/17's.

They are. The RT-615's run wide.

Sperry, I'm not sure I want more than -1 in the back. I have two sources telling me that I'm running -1 in the rear: the original alignment sheet and my buddy who has nice alignment tools. The front was reported as -1.4 by the alignment shop and -1.1 by my friend.

The passenger side rear tire only rubs when I take very hard left hand turns.

I guess I could get some extra negative camber all around and true up everything. It has been 2 years since the "after-spring-install" alignmet.

The stupid alignment shop ignored my instructions and installed the camber bolts in the front corners instead of the rear.

Now that is funny... those wheels look exactly like the 17x8 tri-bars that came stock on my 1995 Mustang.

sp00ln · 2006-03-30, 08:21 AM

How'd you get the car? Was it your friends, or did you rent it?

sybir · 2006-03-30, 09:42 AM

Car was our friend's, actually was provided by his company. Honda Life FTW!

Yes, we saw asimo running. Kinda creepy actually.

Luckyy.

Well, take your time (of course).

I used to be really interested in anthropomorphic robots, and I have a bunch of AIBOs.. but I guess it was just a passing interest.

Have you seen this "robotic muel" vid? Kinda creepy if you ask me.

GC8.Love · 2006-04-01, 11:39 PM

Cooool. Gotta love a robot that can balance and stabilize itself. Of course, it's easier (in a way) when it's not bipedal like an ASIMO or something else humanoid. =P
