Random pics from work/racing in Japan this summer

56K your modem is going to catch on fire.

I was going through these tonight, just thought I would share.

My work consists of going to usually 2 auction sites in Nagoya. The combined total of cars at these auctions is about 15,000 usually. My company buys 40-50 (usually used) cars a week from the dealerships around here (we are wholesalers).

From there we take to the aforementioned auction site, OR we export to dubai, australia, NZ, (Supras/Skylines/etc) or to some of the less exotic places; Africa, Pakistan, Middle East etc. (Usually the cars that go here end with with a .50 cal mounted on them and their life ends via landmine/rpg/m1a1)

So here are some pictures of my daily life, the entire album (updates often is here: http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4286657135 username and password - yousuck

No A/C in my car sucks....





After a bunch of laps on Mizunami circuit, the brakes go right to the floor, I was able to downshift and ebrake (mad drift y0) enough to prevent me from going off the cliff, but it was pretty...interesting.

I let the brakes cool down and then did a bleed at the track, check out the old stuff:

Black with a hint of green...that probably isn't good....

do u still have access to getting used parts from over sea's? I'm may be getting a 240 w/S13 soon.

 

not while im here at school.

 

Sweet Lancia, was that thing for sale? Always wanted one of the super/turbos to have as a project car.

 

*bows* You have honored my MNSubaru family. I'll let you live for today.

 

lancia was at the weekly auction, i believe it went for around $7k USD

 

"boing" Which acution are you selling at?

 

$7k USD? That would make my decision a wee bit easier if I were able to get one over here. Closest I've seen is a full Martini Group B car in San Juan with an SCCA log. They wanted $100k for it, but probably worth it since with the logbook it could participate in local rally outside of the vintage class. I'm pretty sure it'd be considered an Open class car though }

 

USS Nagoya auction.

The delta went for cheap because it was not a evolution model, the Delta Evos go for like 25-26k
