The 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon presented by eGarage.com.
Automotive enthusiasts and storytellers.
The automotive scene makes homes to many differently styles of tuning culture. Be it race cars, VIP cars, drift cars or off the wall exotics. But one thing that bring all these styles together is their shared love for cars.
Now days people spend too much time talking about why they’re cool and why you’re not. The Tokyo Auto Salon brings every style together under one roof and shares it with the world. Surely we can all appreciate each others cars more than once a year, can’t we?
Enjoy cars.

One for the Honda fans; HKS, among many other vehicles this year, brought out the same S2000 they had at SEMA 2011 here in the states. Dubbed the AP350SC-II Concept, (derived from the chassis code, the amount of power it produces, and the main power adder) this S2000 is host to a whole lineup of newly developed HKS parts. Namely, the GTS7040 supercharger that’s attached to the F22. Click past the break for a close-up of this beast.

D2 Japan, all knowing brake and suspension producers, brought out their joint built R34 rocking their massive 8-pot caliper kit up front, and 6-pot rears. The front calipers barely clear the 19″ TE-37 SL’s! With engine works handled by Pro Shop SCREEN, this R34GTR is one serious car. With the R35′s new dominance in the Skyline tuning market, it’s awesome to see tuners still concentrating on older models. Let’s click the break and check out more of this 34, compliments of the magic from JDM Clips.

D1 Street Legal showing @ Tokyo Auto Salon 2012; Taka built, D1SL champion Silvia. Help me out here – was it Tanaka that drove this last year? I love D-Max kits; especially on coupes.

Bear with me on this post; there’s a possibility that I could still be a little intoxicated. I’ll keep the grammar in check as best as I can. It seems like Nissan has lost the battle in trying to keep the R35 GTR a machine that needs no modification. In the hands of the Japanese elite tuners, nothing is sacred. Take, for example, the GReddy 35RX; a machine so deconstructed, that it retains little to no trace of the original form. I want to show you something pretty amazing – so click past the break.

You didn’t think HKS would touch a van would you? Well, they did, and this is the outcome. Not too sure about specs on this thing, but it is the newer ‘Veilfire’ model of the Toyota Alphard – marketed towards a younger generation. Of course, it’s natural to develop for the latter. HKS’ awesome-van is lowered on their signature HiperMax coilovers, as seen through the hole in the fender. Click past the break for another pic.

Want to see something crazy? Here you go. Something crazy. Car Sense brought it out like K-Break did in 2011 with this nuts Toyota Crown Police Interceptor Camber Mega Demon. If you’re not familiar with some iconic Car Sense builds, click this link to check out their famous Aristo build; or better yet, enter the NDF Option contest to win a magazine that could possibly have pictures of it. If you’re in a lazy mood though, I suppose you could just click past the break for more pics. Be sure to check out JDM Clips for video footage of Tokyo Auto Salon 2012. Enjoy!

I’ve been wanting to do something kinda cool for a while now to show my thanks for the fans of Narita Dog Fight. So I’ve come up with a little, hopefully, monthly contest in the form of an Option magazine giveaway. Today, I introduce to you the “NDF’s ‘Old Option – Let’s Read Car History!’ Giveaway”. Like the super Japanese title? I do! I wrote in the official NDF Facebook page that I’ve been collecting Option and Option2 magazines for a really long time; actually, I collect other publications as well! Perhaps I can give away more than just Option mags in the future. Anyway, I have duplicates of some and I’d like to send them off to people who share the same excitement I get from receiving and reading (or if you can’t read Japanese, looking at) an Option mag. Much of my knowledge of Japanese car culture and motor sports has come from reading these magazines, and because of that, they’ve become more than just magazines to me. Hopefully the same will happen to you!
So how do you win? Simple! I will post this entry as a link on the Official NDF Facebook page, the fan who manages to share it the most will be our first winner! This will be a great way to help grow the NDF community and maybe win something while doing so! The contest for this Option mag will end at the end of the week. At the end of the week, I will track the shares and likes and alert the winner via Facebook. The winner can then message me their address (worldwide!) and I will ship their prize the next day! There is a description of the first prize below.

The first offering is actually not that old at all! June 2011′s Option magazine features coverage from last years Exciting Car Showdown, including a section just covering girl owned cars from the event (ガールズ コレクション), a wicked spread of the Kazama Auto Service D1 Silvia featuring model Mirei Kurosawa, a cool write up on aero testing, a R35 tuning update, and a somber article featuring some garages that were effected by the disaster in March. This is a good one, and it just so happens that I have two of this volume to give away; so let’s get sharing! 頑張ってください!

OK, everyone close your eyes. On the count of three, open them and bestow upon yourself one of the most intense RX-7 builds to date. Ready? OK, 1…2…3…open! You peaked didn’t you? Anyway, pick your jaws up from the floor so I can continue this post. Every time I think this guy has outdone himself, he comes through with yet another build for the books. The RE Amemiya built NA Super-7 is hands down one of the greatest FD builds I’ve seen to date. The beauty, of course, lies in the extensive body work that Isami Amemiya is known for.
