lindbergh? The Autobacs i went to in Naka Meguro only had 2 floors. I assume there ar bigger ones outside of tokyo like how the biggets halfords are nto in london. how the biggets halfords are nto in london. Yokohama seems to be the centre of alot of car things. I bought me a few magazines but they`re all in japanese which i`m still getting to grips with. Got a few shows coming up in the next month that I`m goinna try and get to.
Few pics for your troubles coming up

toyota mega web was closed so my only car related activity was the nissan showroom in Ginza. Just the GTR and Skyline Coupe in their but not bad. I`m loving the Toyota CROWN taxis and Nissan thingies. Will upload a few of my faves later on in the trip.
Super AutoBacs in naga-meguro was a bit of a let down tbh. Like a crazy halfords but not alot more stuff. Just 100 more ways to clean a car and light it that i new existed. I was expecting something special.
Heading to yokohama in 2 days so i will make a stop at that place.
thanks
sam

people over on the mini forum have been trying these and i think the results are very positive. Its so cheap, 1/10 the price of anything equivalent.

new wishbone! dash engine boot floor (prone to rust apparently) trims i've put back on are the original ones. BTW, the new arms have ARB mounts not fitted originally so if you did get bored with the handling, £20 and lots of swearing might leave you with something better. Sam

i replaced one of the suspension arms on satuday, the garage is doing the second one, the split cv gaitor. The other fails were headlights too high (ones new and one was a replacement for one that was leaking) and wiper is shagged. all being done so in theory by tomorrow should have a full 12 months.

Morning Gents, Up for sale is my 954cc Citroen AX. In terms of running costs, it won't really get any less than this. This car now has 12months MOT as of today (18.08) and it features brand new wishbones both sides. New wiper blade also fitted for the MOT. Now with Hub caps (see more pics below) 105k miles, tax til end of August (£120 per year) can tax again at cost. Completely standard except for CD radio (removable fascia) and immobiliser (works too) so more insurance deductions. Always 50+mpg, cruises at 90 without a fuss, back seats come straight out, had a mini front end in there easy, 5 good gears, cheap insurance, lots of miles on the tyres, no real rust makes alot of sense in these financial times. Yes I'm aware you could probably buy something much bigger/better for the same price but then it was cost you alot more over the next year to run and insure. £395 OVNO - Reason for selling, starting uni and don't want a car Location:Aylesbury or Derby or anywhere in between more pics below 18.08

Alright guys and gals, This is hactually for my daily driver and this is just on the offchance but does anyone have any small square or rectangular headlight units (preferably h4) to go in my citroen ax. I need something cheap so £10 + post sort of region but not bad if its something you've got lying about. The hole looks like this and is roughly h100-150 and w200ish I think so fairly small. the reason the hole is so small is because its set back from the front of the bonnet but i'd actually quite like to have something hiding under there. Sam
