  1. I just found Jazz and Bluestreak at Super Autobacs for only 5 dollars each. They were sitting on a shelf already opened. Swooped them up. Haha best ever!!!!
  2. no the lower half of the stock shift knob globe is one piece with the shaft. so you have to sacrifice it and cut it off. then you need to do some customizing. I used an automotice stud (it is a like a siamese twin bolt) threads at either end but no head. I found one that has machined threads on one end and wood screw threads on the other end. Then I got a wood screw adapter (it is like a helical coil, or a nut with threads out and in) the outside was wood screw pitch and the inside matched the machined threads. (this is because the inner shaft of the shift knob diammeter is larger than the inner diammeter of the shift knob shaft. If that doesnt make sense pm me and i can clear that up more.
  3. here is a video clip. You can see teh MTRC driving on pavement and then dirt. See it rise up? MOV00313.MPG
  4. Here is a pic fo the New Toyota Demo Disc You can drive the Prius and the new MTRC Motor Triathalon Race Car. It has active ride height adjustments and I think an active CG monitor and electronic AWD.
  5. Yes get teh rail pass. Not jsut for the long trip bullet trains but for the subway. Sort of. The rail pass lets you on anything that is JR (Japan Rail) if for some reason you need to take a smaller subsidiary subway then it doest work. But for major tourism you wont be venturing around such places. The JR lines do a great job of getting you where you need to go. Word of advice, you will find it difficult to navigate via street signs. there are none that I could use for reference during my month stay in Japan. Japan is organized but not that organized. You will need to remember locations rather than streets. Honestly Seiichi or someone native is your best bet. (of course Im speaking of toy shopping and if you hook up with Seiichi liek Kidk, XStoys and I did then you will be walkign all day on trains back and forth with armloads of toys) the places he takes you are little hole int he wall shops that I dont even think a native toy enthusiast would know how to get. It is very difficult to look for stuff without a guide. If your like EternalD you take a tour but then they only take you to the touristy places and those are nice but friggin boring. Luckily I met up with him during my stay in Tokyo and we walked and found a Toys R us and he got a Low Vis for 90 dollars. But then you are going with your Wife and she may not be so keen on toy shopping as us nerds our hehe. Oh Akihabara will suck up your entire day literally. Every shop is some electronics. But dont be fooled its not a haven of under priced high end goods. Its jsut amecca of electronics. and to find a decent price you have to look and look hard. oh go to Nara!!! The deer are like rats. well ok that is my take on them. THe deer there are liek city pigeons. they are domesticated to the poitn where they are wild but are not afraid of humans and rely soley on their generosity to feed them. I dont think they know where to get food other than humans. They will swarm you for food. oh yeah and there is Todaiji, the largest wooden structure in the world. (it is a large wooden temple with teh largest wooden buddah).
  6. If you can, get in touch with Seiichi. His english isnt that great but He will take you to all the great toy shops in Tokyo. And I mean all!!!
  7. Yeah that has been discussed before. VW doesnt want death machines or some crap.
  8. 1. Tracks is not a camaro. He is a Corvette. 2. I dont think anyone will call Meister as Cliffjumper. Take a close look at Meister's head. And go to Toys R Us and look at the reissue Jazz figure cover art. The Dreamwave image shows the heads as identical. A feature nicely done in the Binaltech line. Dead End should have been Sunstreak. Mostlikely he will be a repaint (im just guessing)
  9. Uh, since he's an unregistered Animagus, nobody knows that he can transform into a large dog. !SPOILER! It's how he kept most of his sanity (and the knowledge that he wasn't guilty) in Azkaban, by turning into a dog, and using his transformation to escape. If everybody knew he was an unregistered Animagus, then in addition to his picture on the wanted poster, there would have been a picture of him as a dog. I saw the movie on friday, and I really liked it. One thing I didn't like was the bit that they left out the whole secret-keeper buisness... But then again, my theater was really noisy, so I may have missed it. oh yeah hehe. good point. But I felt there needed to be some unreveiling as to The four people on the map being animagus which then leads to Harry thinking that his father in across the lake.
  10. someone correct me if im wrong but i believe the wrcs are the official subaru rally cars so it would have more in common with the sti, while the wrx is a mid-level comsumer sedan better than the impreza but not as good as the sti ok here I come to correct all of you. Subaru WRC is a rally car. It is a Race car. Think what is teh difference between a Pontiac GTo vs a Nascar Pontiac GTO? well duh one is a race car while the other is not. WRC stands for World Rally Championship. The WRX is not better than an Imprezza. The WRX is an Imprezza. Imprezza is the model of car. The WRX is a trim level. Like Integra. You have RS, LS, GSR, and Type R. The WRC has nothing in common with the STI. Everything has been changed on the rally car. Such as Front mounted intercoller, stripped out interior, full frame roll cage. Even the spoiler is different. But yes the STI does have more in common with the WRC than the regular WRX however it is no where close to the Rally car.
  11. I noticed a lot of emphasis on muscial score in this movie. A lot of mickey mousing (sound cues timed with a specific movement or action in the film). The director seems to have a huge hard on for wide spread crane shots and special effects where the camera passes thru a pane of glass. I think he spent too much time on these useless shots of spectacle when he could have developed the plot more. 1. Lupin jsut knew how to use the Marauder's Map and Harry never questioned that. 2. No one ever mentioned that Sirrius was an Animagus (just assumed that in the world of the film) let alone that he was an unregistered animagus. 3. No one told Harry his father was an animagus too. Which also leads to the fact no explanation of the origins of the map. Like the names Padfoot, Mooney, Prongs, and Wormtail. 4. Since no one mentioned that James Potter was a stag so then why would Harry think his father was across the water. 5. I didnt like how the location of shooting changed. the past two movies had Hagrid's house across a flat field. Now it was down a steep slope. 6. The intro in Uncle Vernon's house seemed choppy and rushed. jsut a few observations
  12. You know that Hasbro prollywill only release one color. Just like Smokescreen
  13. I got a Solid hair Roy Focker at F&S for 7 dollars!!! while Little ANime shop wanted 12 for clear at PMX. (Pacific Media Expo) But I got the Cockpit at least. For 25. Are there two versions of that? like Min Mei has clear and solid?
  14. Are you talking to me or EXO?
  15. No they exist in real life. It is not a series of any sort. Kinda like how in Cali the CHPs have Camaro SS as highway patrol. Or remember in the 80's when teh Lamborghini was real hot. they made Police cars out of them. I dont know who actually used them. But the Skyline and WRX and other cars have been made into police cars in Japan.
  16. You sure that works? I work at a Toyota dealership, and we get those brochure requests all the time and I'm usually the one that has to send them out ( ) but I haven't seen any GT4 demos, or else I would have already grabbed a stack. hmm I dunno cause when i tried it I get a message. Your request was submitted successfully. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you.

  17. Oh want a free Toyota GT4 demo (well it says DVD and the person that told me about this didnt say what was on it cause he didnt get it yet) Go to www.toyota.com and put your mouse over vehicles, for the drop down menu go to brochures>request a brochure, fill out all the info and make sure you request a brochure for a Toyota Prius, the other car doesn't matter. You will now have a GT4 DVD in the mail to you
  18. Technically I think the auto WRXs are faster in the quarter mile than the manuals, but I don't remember the exact numbers. That said, anyone using the WRX as a drag car should be kicked in the nuts. Go take that thing out to a rally-cross or club rally. But you didnt say anything about my cool leathery knob, hehe
  19. Wha!!! DVD no!!!! No I didnt get a DVD. Maybe its the end movie when you beat the game half way thru? Oh Vostock even though you have an Auto WRX I think you will enjoy this. My best friend (who has a WRX and I helped modify from Audio to suspension) gave me his Shift knob. Boo yah!!!!
  20. Ah I have that too. My friend brought it back from Japan for me in January. I didnt play it much until recently my GF bought my the GT Driving Force Pro. It is so awesome. Plus you can switch out the Wheel.
  21. Ok see the picture of the DS? See the inner black trim surrounding the two screens? that is the size of a SP jsut that alone. Then add about an inch on either side. The thickness is like that of a paperback trashy woman's romance novel. that thick!!!! No the PSP screen is humungous. But the unit is slimmer than the regular GBA. The width is wider. jsut the thickness is slim. hope that clarifies it
  22. The poster will be like 3 ft wide. so real poster size
  23. One more. A pic of my looking for a poker chip with a number. You are not allowed to look when you dig thru a butt load of giant cockroaches
  24. whoops double post here is another shot of a concept PSP white
  25. Concept for a possible GT version
