How about that interior. Hnnnnngggggg
Mmm sexxxxxy.Spring has finally come to the mountains!
Now to get her dirty all over again
Oh yeah lol. There was traffic and I was going slow, pacing myself a couple of cars behind so I wouldn't have to be stopping and going every single time. We were moving at around 10-15mph in the right lane.
Man, that reminds me.
, fun was stopped when I had to split and merge onto another highway, where everyone was driving 90 in all lanes.Well now I'm finally home, I'm going to rant about driving in Japan, again.
Speed limits are too low and nobody follows them, not even the police, 80km/h on a three lane toll highway? really bro?, during the day people were averaging 110, had to doubletake when cruising at 110 when a police car floated on by clearly doing in excess of 150, no lights flashing or anything, between 1am and 4am it's basically an autobahn, was driving tandem with a white GT4 RS at..... well, speeds you would not expect a GT86 to be doing, dude seemed amused that I could keep up
Then there were countless occasions where I'd pull into the fast lane to overtake someone doing under 80, and other drivers would randomly switch into the fast lane *way* too late or without even indicating and force me and whoever is behind me to brake hard. Then there's idiots doing 75 in the fast lane and refusing to move, then there's idiots weaving about in their lane so much that at one point a guy trying to overtake slammed on so hard he damn near lost it.
But the most frustratingly shitty thing is the Chuo expressway between Fujino and it's junction by Hachioji, every single weekend there are 6-8km long tailbacks because where the road switches from 3 lanes to 2 at the Keirinji shrine side, people seem incapable of doing so in a timely manner despite there being clear signage for the lane merge as far as 3km back, hell even when everyone is trundling along at 5kmh because of the jam, you still get absolute morons waiting till the last second to merge, which is the entire reason this tailback exists in the first place.
And that's been my experience in many places, both in japan and elsewhere, when you hit a block of slow moving traffic and pass through it never seeing a valid reason for it to even exist, back in the UK you would get the same whenever any sort of weather warning sign was showing, people would see it and slam on the brakes even though there's absolutely nothing different about the conditions they were only a few seconds earlier driving perfectly fine in.. people who have such immediate and blunt responses to any sort of signage will forever be the bane of my highway usage.
But mostly? mostly it's the insanely low speed limits, if almost nobody is going to follow them there is no point in them being so low, it just means the occasional person that does follow is at risk of being rear ended.
All it really does is make getting anywhere by car in Japan extremely time consuming, 300km should not take 4 hours, it should take 2 and a half at the most.
Also highway tolls are insane, the last leg i did this evening was 285km and the toll for that section was $88.20.

Nice! Really great all-around car. Don't forget to order your JB4 as well to get more power out of it

Personally, I'd go blue as it's a really nice color on the car.
This is mostly for Shortt Sirket since we have the same car. I'd mentioned a while ago that I was thinking of selling my car and buying something different. I was thinking of a BRZ/FRS and had one on order before I changed my mind. I decided to just hold off and if anything happened with the motor on my car I'd just pull it and buy a new longblock and swap it myself.
Then I found this for sale:
The same car I have, but with an even bigger turbo than the one I'd put in it, and all the mods I'd want to do but probably never would. So in the end I'm going to sell my car but stay in a Mazdaspeed 6. At some point the tune will be finished and I'll be around 600hp and it'll probably break constantly but what the hell.

I'd recommend it just based on how many people already run either the jb1 or JB4 over the Neuspeed power module. If you're just looking for a simple piggyback you couldn't go wrong with either but the JB4 allows for more flexibility if you want to start modifying even further down the road.
Unofficially, 10 over the limit on normal roads, and up to 120 on highways during off peak, 100 during peak, though it's entirely down to a particular cops mood if they pull you for 2kmh over the limit or 40.
Hefty financial charges and points, for example a minor error on the road, such as failing to indicate or going through a light just as it turns red is anywhere from $100 to $300, and 2-5 points on your license, equally speeding and getting caught carries a fine and points proportional to how badly you were breaking the limit, 10kmh over and you might not even get pulled, or you might get a $150 fine and 2 points, be doing 100kmh over the limit and you're looking at $3000+ and 5 points to full revoke of license.
I have, and I agree, I also felt the model used for autobahns was excellent and should be copied elsewhere in the world, especially the sections with no limits.
Word, it's infuriating, and a massive risk to both them and other drivers, it's especially anoying when you get a group of HGV's clogging up all lanes and in effect forming a rolling wall.
I'm in Japan dude, it's home for me, when I said I just got home it's because I was down south checking out a house, and stopped by Liberty Walk on the drive back since I was passing through Nagoya!
I especially remember a 100 section where it was almost uncomfortable to take the corners at that speed. It really made me trust the signage and slow down when it warned me.
It's all about the Type R.
Congrats🙌🙌🙌🙌 did you get the dct or manual?
