I took a bunch of random pics from my latest trip to Japan. I was there for roughly 3 months (working).
There are also some random pics of some car shows here in the Bay Area as well as my project truck in progress. Let me know what you think:

Sorry guys, I just realized I posted this in the wrong section.
Feel free to move it to the "off topic" section.

^^^ Thanks man :thumbup: So what's your Tacoma project about? Is it completed? I'm very curious :)
Thanks guys.

The trucks is down now. The motor/ tranny is out....and I'm building it as we speak.
Actually I provided all the goodies to www.blacktrax.net , I designed certain things (such as intake manifolds, exhaust and so forth). I made my own carbon fiber bits; center console, gauges, panels, shifter plates, mirror plates and so forth. Lexan window. Strip the interior. Cut the doors.....the list is long.

A huge thanks should go to the folks at www.blacktrax.net, Jei and Aki. They're super knowledgeable, and they gave me good insights and advice.
They're helping me out A GREAT deal.
Anyway.....as you noticed from the pics. I'm staying N/A, with high compression pistons (something a lot of people have a hard time to understand).....:lol:. The truck as it is right now weights about 2100 lbs. with a full tank of gas.
I'm working on shaving some more weight to put it below 2000 lbs. but it's not easy. The engine will make roughly 300-320 hp......and I think it should be completely done around May/June.
Then the cage, then the coilovers....and I certainly will have to replace the wheels/ tires with something bigger for more traction.

Wow, that's some serious power to weight ratio you got :thumbup::cool: That Taco will haul some serious ass when it's done!!

Please keep us updated on your progress, and don't forget pics of course ;):smokin:
