Today I headed up to Tsukuba to check out the RX Wars at Tsukuba.
Karuizawa Meeting is held in the centre of Japan. Most tuners go there. Joyfast brought their Awesome white car equipped with a mix of most makers parts. Odula Front, Charge speed sides and it used to wear a NoPro Rear.
NOPRO took three cars. Soft and Hard top Yellow NC2 and their 2.3L race car.
New bumper is very Mazdaspeed.
Auto exe also had their NC2.
The side holes in the bumper are just way too big. If you saw this bumper in white. It would look terrible.
Jets were selling their usual kit.
Barchetta had their funky short tail NC with center pipe.
This Autobacs c@rs show MH1 looked pretty nice with chrome work wheels.
But this NC2 with Enkei TC-4 wheels looked very smooth. I loke this picture. The water beads look slightly patriotic for the Japanese.
Vary was at the event but no pics online yet. This is their new NC2 lip and eyeline set.
Arbic rear with IPF lights.
Some private cars.
Some with Rays.
Kin-san and friend.
I've been reading the odula blog recently and watching them prepare their Demo car for race action. The addition of Rays WTCC Motorsport 57 wheels and 255 rubber are just one part of the mods.
Close Up of the Odula kit.
Speed!
Damage didn't stop the beast.
I don't want this blog to be a review of everything that happens in Japan for the roadster. But this event caught my eye at Tsukuba TC1000.
Superchrger!!! yum.
Double Nopro action.
NOPRO (Nogami Project) NC. 2.3 Liter
Brightning NC. 2.0 Cosworth SC & NOPRO (Nogami Project) NC. 2.3 Liter
The Rev Speed Super Battle is Japan's premier Time Attack event. Although it doesn't include any Option Magazine sponsored cars, it still has more than enough cars to fill you day.
For roadster fans Nogami Project = Nopro. Gami-san's silver NC is a real track weapon. It has a 2.3 liter engine upgrade with a straight through exhaust. It runs 255/40/17 street tyres and laps very quickly. For today hae added the straight muffler and a new splitter for extra downforce.
Brighning is Japan's cosworth supplier and their NC has recently obtained a few more mods. 
On track it looks the goods but it's sooooooo quiet. You would not know this car had a Supercharger until it went past you.
Nopro's car on the other hand sounds AWESOME! It growls like a bee blowing a tuba.
Together on track they both looked awesome. But brighning were fighting traction as the track dried out.
Some more coolness under the bridge.
At the main hairpin. Minimal roll.
When the car's went out for the second session, Brigtning had removed the rear GT wing.
Still tough. Note the front window surround is Black. strange.? maybe it looks good without the hard top.
Nopro's splitter carved through the pit. But did not return from the session. I didn't have time to get final times and ask but I'll find out soon.
My friends machine Tweety Roadster
No 73 on display.
Tom was pumped and ready.
Many Roadster graphics looked cool.
This is the D-Techniques TCR2000 of Kato san. 
Tom's car is the same spec. but Kato is 2 seconds quicker. He has been driving around tsukuba for a long time.
Emblem Class Course in.
I almost entered the Roadster class. Just a 15min time attack. R16 member Kentaro-san entered and had some fun in his modified NR-A.
We followed kato san as he showed us the line. A bit straighter approach to corners in places than you think. 
On the grid. R16 friends came to support us. Thanks dudes.
Warm up lap.
Always a very bust start in a one make series.
Of course Kato-san dominated again. He is the champion of roadster at tsukuba. 3 wins this year.
Tom, Kato and Nao. Who's wine is that Nao? 
The four hour race has a le-mans style start. run to the car. only 90 litres of fuel also for 90min.
I like the livery on this car. The Martini racing logo's look cool.
My car. Next time after a few mods I will challenge the circuit. LSD, Stabiliser links and a seat please. (any sponsors?)
