Voltex front bumper, that thing is awesome. Will it come with the splitter and canards?Comment

Parts are from Super autobacs, js racing and tactical art. Books are from book off stores around Japan.Originally posted by Perry View Post
Tactical art was really cool. Spoke to the guys for a bit and they allowed me to look around the garage and at the cars there etc. Took some photos and bought a couple of thingsOriginally posted by felixR View Post
Canards and splitter are extra pieces so the bumper won't come with those parts unfortunately. Doesn't stop me from buying them in the future thoughOriginally posted by eskimo_firefighter View PostComment

so yeah i just recently got back from a 2 week holiday in japan with my girlfriend and it was amazing. while over there i did both car and non car related things.
being a car forum ill stick to the car related stuff but if anyones interested ill post up the non car related stuff later on
so our first 4 days were spent in hakuba snowboarding so not much car activity there. from hakuba we moved down to osaka for the next 5 days.
this was taken from the front of our hotel. see that raised motorway above. that is actually part of the osaka loop. it ran right past our hotel sadly our room did not over look the loop
the 2 main highlights from osaka car wise was definitely visiting js racing and tactical art.
we'll start of with js racing. being a massive js racing fan boy i HAD to visit the workshop when we were in osaka no questions about it.
i had added hisaaki (president) on facebook a while back and had talked briefly once or twice. funnily enough when i introduced myself he remembered who i was and and thanked me numerous times for making the way all the way from australia to visit the store. (crazy!!!!)
we had a chat, i bought some parts and i asked about exhausts for the future and even got to have a look around the workshop at js demo car and another customers car which were both getting prepped for a track day the following weekend. was an excellent experience and i recommend any honda fan to visit if they make their way to japan/osaka.
myself outside the shop
myself and hisaaki next to the js demo car
few of js/customers cars parked outside
yellow s2k is actually a customers car
i love this car and the way the gt bodykit looks with just paint and no livery
js demo car (the one from all the youtube videos)
can you say hyper revs?
literally every single honda model made. most of these are doubled up as well
ill leave it at that for now. its late and i have work in the morning. lots of pics i know
ill post about tactical art tomorrow or when i have time
thanks for reading

Now I should have uploaded these pictures of my visit to tactical art with the last post because well there aren't many. It was cool to go check out the workshop which produced one of my favourite eg's ever and I wish it was still there so I could have oogled over it for hours but we all know what happened to it
Both atsuki and yasutaka are cool guys and again were really stoked that I had made the way from Australia to look at their shop. I had a nice chat with them about cars they had produced and what the future holds for them (I got some info that I was told not to tell anyone) so I guess we will be seeing that stuff soon enough. They asked about my cars and wanted to see pictures.
Upon finding out that I owned an s2k yasutaka decided it was time to display his. Fitted with ccw rims, hks supercharger and custom paint his car is immaculate! He hopped in and started it up. My first thought is 'wow it's fucking loud'. He waited a bit and gives it a couple revs and man oh man it really is loud.

I had a look around the workshop at a few of the customer cars that were there and atsukis ek. Upstairs serves as their shop and was just as cool. Hosting a bunch of parts from American companies you really pick up their usdm feel. I bought a t shirt and the guys threw in a few stickers and lanyards to again say thankyou for visiting. That's what I love over there everyone is so appreciative and thankful. Such politeness is rarely found here and many other parts of the world.

Again I'm out of time so I'll update the next part of the trip another time.
thanks for reading
