so about the trip...
Amemiya: thats simple enough. as anyone would imagine....more than amazing. Mr. Amemiya welcomed us very nicely and showed us around. he even wrote about us on his online journal.
Trial: well they were actually closed that day but they let us in through the gates and look at all their cars. met the owner, or manager, forget.
Central Circuit: same as amemiya........unbelievable
I Feelin: that was simple a blow off. they down sized from the pic we saw so it was mostly a waste of time. lower end builds and everything. however, the owner did call up feed and told them about us and that we were going there.
Feed: very friendly, but not what i expected. i figured they would have been bigger and have more than a 1 shelf gallery. i guess the owner ran away/dissapeared like 4 years ago and no one has seen him since. the workers just run everything on their own but what they can do is limited. the owners cars just sit in front of the shop, half trashed, but they cant get rid of them without him (legal stuff).

alright...im going to start selling the stuff.
Re-Amemiya Stickers ($14 shipped each)- 250x25mm. I have 1 gold and 1 black.
Momo Race 350mm Steering Wheel ($140 shipped)- This has both the center cap and horn button. No screws though.
Greddy Turbo Timer ($65 shipped)- This has the fc3s harness. Will not sell seperate.
Apexi GT Radiator Caps ($24 shipped each)- I have 2 and they are both for Toyota/Mitsubishi applications.
Apexi Hybrid Intercooler ($325 shipped)- Core dimensions are 385x68x232mm. Endtank openings are 60mm. The number is 531-N004. This was taken off an s13. It has a good amount of surface corrosion from sitting in japan. It however works perfect and have been cleaned as good as i could without damaging the fins.
FD3S Nardi 99/02 spec Steering Wheel ($350 shipped)- This steering wheel is in perfect condition. The outter wheel is a 02 spec wheel. The rx7 was however wrecked obviously making the airbag go off. The middle was the just replaced with a 99 spec airbag. Im sure if u guys wanted u could take the center flying M logo off a miata and put it in there.
Tiburon Wheels ($350 shipped)- 17x7. These wheels are from a tiburon. They fit rather close with the suspension but still work. I will say they are rather "used" though. They came with my car and the owner definately had a hard time staying away from curbs. They arent bent though as far as i can tell though. Ill get more information on then and get pics posted as soon as i can with them back on my fc.
02 Spirit R Wheels- 17x8 & 17x8.5. Do include tires (thinking they are toyo proxes?....forget) that are at least have 50-70% tread. Still awaiting their arrival from japan. They should be here within a couple of weeks and ill get pics and info on condition up. Lets just first off hope they get here at all. We all know how much surface stuff gets lost/stolen. Do know guys that the wheels will be in the $3500-4000 range.
