Kansai is one of my favourite regions of Japan, much more laid back, easy going, bit more off the wall and home to both Toyota and Honda, so we find ourselves at
J's Racing, 1 of the better known Honda tuners in Japan. We had passed here in 2008 but being a Wednesday it was closed, but today its not
The crazyness of Kansai explains much of J's philosophy - extreme tuning and n/a only, their motto is 'The Xtreme Honda ride'
Loads of parts and brochures, nearly every Japanese tuner I have visited has a counter like this
Outside customers S2000, Accord Euro-R and Super Taikyu Civic Type R
A closer look at the Accord, J's make their own bodykits aswell as tuning parts, shame Accords are overpriced at home, I do like them
And the reason I visited - to see their Honda S2000 10th anniversary car and winner of the Most Outstanding Performance Award at Tokyo Auto Salon 2009
Even without the graphics J's have made the car look evil and no doubt perform just as well
From every angle its menacing and agressive, and no doubt on the tight and twisty touge roads around Osaka be unbeatable!
