Tokyo in the start of the year is sooo crowded it's quite unbelievable! 😮
This caused some problem to me and some of the Westkyo crew when rolling downtown.
But then, we found a slice of motoring heaven :thumbsup:
Also, time to order the upgrade I (and perhaps y'all) always been waiting for......
So let's jump into the RP then! 😃

"Hey Muza, are you going downtown?" I talked to him as he steeped outside the garage.
"Yeah, what's the matter? You in?" He answered.
"Yep. I found a nice sushi parlor in Shibuya some time ago, thought you might want to try it"
"Hmmm sounds good. Mind if I have my parts in your Evo?"
"It's okay. And oh, I want to grab some cans of coffee in Akibahara, they rarely appear elsewhere"
"Rarely elsewhere? I see, it's interesting. I think I should grab some"
"Yeah, you should, I recommend it. Comes in a lot of flavours too"
So we set off to downtown Tokyo that morning, leaving the garage key to Rifky.
To communicate with each other, I and Muza used handsfree phones. Before we hit the highway there's a small hill before us.
"Muza I just remembered something. Will your carbon lip be fine over ramps?"
"Eh don't worry, I've used them everyday and it hasn't been damaged once"
"Ah silly me, I forgot it's your daily. Carry on, mine will be fine too"
Then we hit the highway to he-I mean, Tokyo.

......it looks like there's some kind of festival going on at the city center. A lot of traffic has to be moved away from there.

Also, you can find more of his other builds HERE!
We settled down for another time and looking at our maps to find an alternative way around Akibahara.

"Wait wait wait back off back off!"
"Wait but why?"
"Our cars won't make it through!"
"Try yours!"
"Get off the car and see it for yourself!"
We parked our cars elsewhere and walked down the road.
"Damn, it's so tiny and narrow!" AJ lamented.
"Told you, our mirrors and doors won't survive if we get through. Not even considering the angry mob who'll come against us......"
"Dude I wish I got a kei car" said Muza. I and AJ nods in agreement.
"Well perhaps we would be crushed in highways but heck we can have our personal go-karts everywhere!" I added.
And thus, the conversation direction turned from the narrow roads to kei car ownership along the trip.
(man I wish for a kei car on SLRR)
It's actually a good thing we came down this place walking, because turns out we can get boxes of UCC Coffe cans here! We're set for.....a week, at least.
Spoiler:
Coffee business done, we went off Akibahara.

And long before we know it, Muza told us he's going to use the freedom opportunity to the max.
"You know what? On times like these there's only one appropriate thing to do in a RWD car"
"What is i-oooooh I get it!"
"You guys park your cars somewhere and watch me spread the Bavarian cream everywhere"
"Alright, chief, we'll get some popcorns as well" (there were none, though)
I and AJ proceed to park at a nearby lot.

A bit more exploration and I found a way to the rooftop parking lot. I decided to get up first to see what's up there.
Up there were some more fences, a water tower, a huge graffitti, a electrical supply tower, and nothing else. Freedom is even more real here.
"The rooftop is free from anything, get up here man. Fresh air everywhere!"
Muza is the next one to get into the rooftop....in a pretty spectacular way. It's not Muza if he doesn't get into the rooftop sideways!
And finally it's AJ's turn. I'm still surprised that nothing scrapes off his Civic when he make his way upwards!.

The urban tour today is just worth it! :thumbsup:
I really should do this again with the entire crew another time.

Oh my god I've lost count on how many hours I needed to do this update and how many pics I ended up using.
I swear this is the longest update I've ever done so far! 😮
But anyway let's check out how did my wallet survive:
Spoiler:
Initial V$ = V$ 2,906
Paycheck x2 = V$ 1,310
Sold transmission parts total= V$ 4,500
Tomei 2.2L stroker kit + conrod bearings set = V$ 4,162
NAPREC Big Valves = V$397
TODA High Stopper Head Gasket = V$218
Tomei ProCams (In & Ex) = V$534
Tomei Duralumin Pulley x2 = V$312
Tomei Valve Springs = V$221
Tomei Valve Spring Retainer Set = V$ 384
GReddy Timing Belt = V$139
V$ at the moment = V$ 2,906 + 1,310 + 4,500 - 4,162 - 397 - 218 - 534 - 312 - 221 - 384 - 139 = V$ 2,349
That's all my updates for now, thank you for stopping by and see you soon!
