Title: Tsukuba Video clips. 19 June 2003.
Post by: Miguel on June 19, 2003, 06:52:16 PM
Hi guys,

Went to work at 5am, to leave at 9.30 in time to get to Tsukuba for the 11am briefing. Just made it....but made for some entertaining driving on the highway.

Weather turned out fine. Lots of TOP tuned cars there, including FD\'s, FC\'s and very mean monster Skylines.

First time on the track with my rex since most of the recent mods were done - so I was excited about it.

I rigged up a video bullet lenz to the back and also shot some footage with a camera mount inside. Grant, my colleague was manning the land camera, Anyways, we\'ve got some great footage of tuned Evo 7\'s, 6\'s, 450 bhp GTR\'s and all the usual culprits being overhauled by the rex.

I wasn\'t the quickest by a long margin, as most of the cars were all stripped out and really not road cars, but trackday tools. R32 with no interior at all, GReddy turbos and LOTS of major mods won the record today. I was in the quickest FD, surprised by being able to beat laptimes of a very mean looking stripped our FD with big turbo & wide body...I don\'t think the driver liked to slide it at all, so he lost time, perhaps.

Anyways, I have no idea how to upload onto the internet. Does anyone want to host these videos, perhaps 20MB of e-mailed JPegs, each 1MB or so in size....there\'s lots of interesting stuff there. If so, please e-mail me offline on:

miguel@neweraimports.com

...and I\'ll send out the JPEGS in a few seperate e-mails.

Man, I slept 3 hours last night, but I\'m buzzing from today. FD\'s are superb fun, but we all know that!!

Miguel.

There were about 12-18 clips in all, so he may need some time to work through them. Unfortunately the MPEG video clips aren\'t as good as the video footage....See if you all like them, I could send Glenn a dubbed copy of the interesting bits on video, but they take longer to download... Looks very cool having a tuned & stripped out caged GTR up your butt entering a corner, but leaving him from there, or losing them on quick direction changes..

DVD planned for future of Japanese car scene and more.

Miguel.:D :D :D :D
