It’s not too surprising if you’ve never heard of Fujita Engineering. Unlike one of the other big rotary tuners in Japan that is constantly exposed to the general public, Fujita really only concentrates on the people that matter; rotary owners.

As much as I like my Foma F906i mobile by Docomo, the camera just doesn’t really cut it compared to the other photos on here. That said, anything’s better than nothing, and here’s some stuff that happened this week.
This is “Kiirochan”. She drifts her yellow 180SX at full speed while wearing skintight jeans.
Every now and again, somewhere between the freezing winter mornings, numerous low doorways and lack of proper Australian lamb chops, I get a little reminder of why I came to Japan.
You’ve got nothing on a Mugen pallet.
Yes, this is a bit of a half-arsed post, but I’ve been flat-out since last Friday ferrying the boys from Auto Salon magazine around to various workshops around Tokyo and far, far beyond.
Unfortunately, since they’re paying me for it, I can’t go ahead and show pics of the cars, since that would be unprofessional. I can show you cool little things I find on the way and take photos of with my mobile phone though. I also just wanted to put this photo up before mag photographer Mark Pakula does. Ha, I beat you. Nyah.
More actual photos taken with a camera and not a phone coming soon.

This flat-black Levin used to belong to Satoshi “Wampaku” Nakatani from Garage LFW, until the engine blew and Shino from Shino Kouba garage bought it cheap and stuck a standard 4AGE in it to have some fun with.
Unfortunately though, when you’re driving a car you don’t really care about crashing, you sometimes do.

It’s just really, really hard to take an uncool photo of this car.

If you’re still wondering why I didn’t take a proper camera to Auto Salon, it’s because I was helping out Charles Kha and Mark Pakula from Australia’s Autosalon magazine (no relation to the Japanese show, but related to the Australian show), so it would be a conflict of interest if I posted a whole lot of high-resolution photos. Yep, I’m a sell-out, so buy Autosalon magazine when it comes out, because the photos and design are awesome.

If you were hoping for some sort of massive coverage of this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon, prepare to be disappointed. There were already hundreds of other journalists at the event, walking around with big, expensive cameras, imagining they were the only people there from a foreign country, and giving you dirty looks when the sight of your round-eyed face spoiled their fantasy. Get over it guys, its Auto Salon. Everyone comes here.
Don’t disappoint them, go check out their coverage.
However, having a cameraphone handy meant at least a few snaps were taken. Prepare for some low-resolution goodness.

This is CLR’s Takurou Watanabe, and he is getting ridiculous angle.
