An American Japanese in Tokyo

,

 Spoon was selling lots of weld in little bits to help stiffen chassis. Some of which looked like it would make working on the car diffcult Nice looking Spoon header
 DUB retardedness has spread to Japan, here is a Hummer with 30″ wheels, noooooo! Greddy supercharger kits with Eaton blowers, wow!
 I want an Excedy carbon clutch Monster Sports, a premier EVO tuner had this engine tranny package for the EVO.  Check out the awesome dog gearset for the tranny.
 A close up of the dog gear set, not exactly streetable but nearly unbreakable and lightening fast shifts ARC has a bunch of trick cooling aids for the EVO and many other cars
 This really trick fully dressed out RB26 was in the ARC booth Even though its old and long out of production, the RB26 is still very popular to tune
Brembo was showing these carbon carbon street brakes. If you have to ask how much they cost, you can't afford them. The ultimate, Sachs motorsports dampers

 I saw this in the parking lot at TAS and had to take a picture, this aero package is not legal for NASA competition

 

I found the Hello Kitty uh, device here in Akihabara, many interesting toys could be found here.  We thought we saw Jay Chen trying out a race queen outfit but whoever it was ran off before we could get a picture

Me being a Tourist….
After TAS we made our way to Akihabara, the electronic city.  Anything powered by electricity is sold here.  It's amazing and a must go to place.  For some reason taking pictures in stores in Japan must be bad manners because every time we pulled out cameras, the store employees would get upset. This district of Tokyo is known for its gazillion stores of trillions of electronic gadgets. Everything from a palm sized washer dryer combo for washing a pair of socks to a genuine Sanrio Hello Kitty dildo (I am not kidding.)are available for sale here.

 

 

One of the many huge multistoried electronics stores in AkiabaraRon didn't like this stuff he got out of a vending machine
My vending machine feast consisted of vitamin guard, American Soft, Formula D and Q100
This guys was selling boiled sweet potatoes out of the back of his whatever it is.  He got pissed off when I took this picture and I had to run so he would not kick my ass.

Later that night, I somehow got separated from the Bergenholtzes and ended up being grabbed to make a run at Roppongi.  Historically, the Roppongi district in Tokyo is where all of the foreign embassies used to be and is now considered to be the international part of the city and the place where there are many nightclubs and bars where people from all over the world hang out.  We ate at a restaurant that is somewhat famous for having a tiny front door that you have t to crawl though.  The food was amazing although they did give us funny samurai hair and swords to amuse ourselves with for some reason.
