I'm really trying to keep that in mind with the DC2! Just do the basics and then get to the track as soon as possible. Upgrade components and such as driving dictates. The internet can really trap us in the idea that we need such and such part in order to drive the car. And yes! That car sounds amazing - proper race car!

That's excellent - these are the comments I love to get! When people stumble across the channel and find something they enjoy! Our ol' friend Al is apparently doing his job. 😂

Agree with you completely! Some of the most interesting cars to look at!

Much appreciated! It's definitely long and dense, so I don't blame you! I really debated on what to do with the length and then just said heck with it. Haha. Need that B18 for the Integra. Good grief. 😍

@@BRICKHOUSESPL Yeah I'd watch this in any format tbh! Yeah that's the dream, probably 5x the cost of the K series though haha

Much appreciated! Such a big event with so much going on!

No kidding. Proper F1 noises. Sooooo good .

Thank you - that means a lot! And thanks for joining the journey! 🤜🤛

Thank you and thank you for watching!🙏

Much appreciated! And sorry, there's some mixed naming between the languages and I just say the first thing that comes to mind (depends on how much I've been part hunting on Yahoo recently! Haha). You are right though, here's a breakdown (English left, Japanese right) Aftermarket intake manifold = surge tank Fuel surge tank = collector tank Catch can = oil catch tank

@@BRICKHOUSESPL oh, you were talking about the manifolds? That's interesting

@@ngamber if it's in the engine bay, then yes. If near the fuel tank, then I likely mean the English surge tank. Sorry about that 😅

Hahaha, thanks for your continued support and watching! Now, get some sleep!😂

I think I found it in the pits finally toward the end of the video! Cool car!

@@BRICKHOUSESPL ill have to check it out. Not gonna lie... I can only endure so much JDM unobtanium parking break action. So i skimmed the last third of the video. Loving the on track footage. Aero is better appreciated in the wind.

That's for sure. It's definitely one of the draws for me too. Of course being out right fastest is cool and there's some competition, but every event is just as much a competition with yourself and your machine to continually improve. For a time attack fan, having now attended this, I would say it's worth planning a trip around this event. Sure it's February and not great weather in Japan but to see such a collection of time attack machines in one place might be hard to match elsewhere. This event had a totally different atmosphere to the other smaller Attack events.

Really appreciate you watching and taking time to leave a comment! I'm looking forward to this year's event!

I really appreciate that - thank you! And thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! The rest of the Attack series season is on the channel as well!

Thank you for enjoying and taking the time to leave a comment! It means a lot!

Woot woot, that's excellent to hear! Thanks for joining the journey!!

Woot woot! Really appreciate that! Such an awesome event!

Thank you!! That means a lot! 🤜💥🤛 Sorry I didn't get more of the Reverse R34🙇Next time!

Oh man, that's really appreciated - thank you! Comments like this are really good motivation to keep improving! There's more videos from this year's Attack series events on the channel as well. Tsukuba is definitely on another level though. Totally awesome event!

Much appreciated! The sub 1 min Tsukuba lab has always been the coolest thing for me. Starting from zero experience now, it's a lofty goal for me and my DC2 but I might as well set my sights high and try! I made a goal of attending all the Attack series events this season and, now that the season's over, I'm going to start exploring other time attack and lapping events just to keep getting familiar with things.

@@BRICKHOUSESPL While I'm much more into rotary's & older Toyota's, the DC2, DC5, S2000 & NSX are Honda's I would build if I got a chance. The big thing now over here is using CR-V subframe & diff components to create an AWD Integra or Civic. It's a bit of work but the results are undeniable.

I really appreciate that! Thanks for joining the journey!

I'm looking forward to it already!

Time attack doesn't disappoint in terms of builds and sounds!

Much appreciated!! The Friends Racing 15 is just wayyyy too good. I mean like the Scorch S15 is wild to the max, but the fact that the FR S15 is so sleek and yet so fast is just awesome. I really enjoy that car. And for sure, those two A80's are changing my mind on Supras! The owner of the SSK car was super cool. I'd like try and set up a machine check with him for a deeper look. That car is like the attainable/relatable version of a A80 time attack build (however attainable A80's are these days! haha). I'd like to see more of the interior and suspension work.

That's amazing - thank you so much! Really appreciate the support and you joining the journey!!🤜💥🤛

Sorry and good thinking, just added a link to the results in the description! Also here: www.timeattack.co.jp/3422

Bitchen, thank you !

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! More time attack coverage on the channel!

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!

Yeah! This event really brought out an interesting mix! Thanks for watching!!

I really appreciate the support! Thanks for watching!

Yeah, the internet is really afraid of spacers but they are used ALL the time in motorsports.

It's crazy the gap in times at the tippy top of Japanese time attack. It would have been awesome to have Under Suzuki running along side Fire Ando to create a "who's going to do it first" situation. But either way, such a wild accomplishment. Maybe it will fire HKS up to do another TRB build...a guy can hope.

Brap brap brap - love it!

Yeah, as a s-chassis lover, it seems like my chance to own one might have passed (in relation to what I'm willing to pay, haha). Timeless design.

Oh very cool. Rear wheel drive is super fun. Right as my brother and I were going to buy Civics (he wanted a CRX), we found 240's. Happy to be able to experience the golden era Honda's now but I can't imagine what it was like when parts were cheap and available.

So wild. Really didn't expect it at all. Just nutty.

@@BRICKHOUSESPL it literally has everything you could ever want. Carbon roof, sequential, what looks to be like a full pdm. So much $$$ lol

@@e30gangsta 100%. "Budget? I've never heard of her."

Me too! It really keeps the spirit of the chassis in tact - light and balanced!

@@BRICKHOUSESPL yes!!!!

Ah, very cool. Thanks for dropping the knowledge! I just looked it up and it looks to be a TRD hood. I'm sure the Blitz Supra was the jam when production was starting on F&F, so it was probably a no brainer on which hood to order when building the Supra.

I'm a mega nerd with years of training! Hahaha. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!

The 8/9 is really solid. I used to be team Subaru bugeye/blob eye/hawk eye. But you can't argue with how good the Evo platform is.

Thanks! If you search 3D Mask, I think you should be able to find them on Amazon. I just found these at a store here and tried them on a whim. They don't rub on your face and don't get pulled down when talking like normal ones do (especially with a beard). The trade off is they muffle your voice more than others and are a bit more restrictive when it comes to breathing. Can't have it all I guess, but not having to constantly readjust them is great.

@@BRICKHOUSESPL Thank you champ.Merry Christmas to you and yours.Sano

@@user-dz6oi3nm9o you too!

Tentatively I would say keep your calendar open in February 2023, and check www.time attack.co.jp as it gets closer. The schedule finally got posted this year like a month or two before the actual event dates. So you'll just have to keep an eye on it, sorry. Worth the trip though! Attack Fuji at Fuji Speedway is March 19th in a couple weeks. I haven't looked at the registered drivers yet to see how big it will be but still another opportunity this season.👍

Maybe. The event had a really good turnout which was great to see!

I might have missed it (like it was on track while I was in it's pit area) or it might have been on the pit entrance/exit lane side of the wall (I didn't go on that side since I wasn't sure if I was allowed as it seemed quite busy/narrow for extra people).

@@BRICKHOUSESPL I think it would be super interesting to see it up close. Since they've gone FI there has not been much english information on it. Anyways, amazing work I really enjoyed watching all of this.

@@lucaballardini1 really appreciate the kind words and I appreciate the idea as well! I'll keep it in mind!

Hahaha, they quack with an accent.

That's for sure. I'm not super familiar with them but it was cool seeing a couple there!

This one was definitely the largest I've been too which probably necessitated that many classes. The other Attack events almost had a lapping day type feeling without any notable distinction between the cars compared to this turnout and event layout.

With the border opening back up, I would imagine international teams are looking to come over.

It wasn't shoulder to shoulder in the stands but it's definitely the most full event I've been to. I was actually pretty impressed. It's a bit deceiving since once they open the infield at 10am people can go wherever they want and spread out since there's grand stands all over as well as a super long pit area. I probably just did a poor job showing the amount of people but it was a pretty good turnout!

Give me all of it!

I'm sorry I don't understand what you said, but thanks for watching!

I haven't felt anything like that. Extra looks because I'm a foreigner is normal but nothing obviously Covid related. I wear a mask as much as possible to put people at ease because they're wearing them as well - indoors, outdoors, etc. 98% are wearing masks by personal choice. Hopefully people start to relax a bit as the weather warms up more making them even less comfortable to wear.

@@BRICKHOUSESPL lol hopefully facial relief happens this summer for you. That's kind of nice that people respect each other more so there. People in the US are less respectful in that regard sadly "it's my life and I can do whatever I want including pressure others not to." It's one of many reasons why I want to move there. Thanks for taking the time to respond it's much appreciated. I wanted to say that it's really cool that you take the time explain culture meanings like the sign for money etc. Including people in those differences is awesome... unless you live there you would never know. Thanks again

@@ohoiboi9818 much appreciated. The mindset certainly is more of "concern for others vs. my own comfort." As you noted, it's kind of the opposite of some American thinking and that can certainly take some getting used to. I think the main thing to keep in mind is that the way of doing things in Japan isn't wrong, it's just different than what you're used to. Mindset plays a big roll in "success" (however you define it) in living here. You can gaijin smash your way through everything and think everyone loves you; or you can stop, have some thought and consideration in how you do stuff, and likely result in a deeper understanding of the world around you. Feel free to DM me on IG if you ever have questions in regard to trying to plan the move here.

@@BRICKHOUSESPL will do. I'm not setup on IG when I get things moving I'll definitely hit you up. thanks for the wisdom and offer for help much appreciated.

Thanks for watching and taking the time comment!

I enjoy both chassis and have a long history with s-chassis so I definitely gravitate toward them. FD's probably had the highest representation at the event (or in Japan time attack in general) so naturally there's going to be more of them to look at. But if you made it through the video, you'd have seen I took a look at BNR32's, Civics, A80 Supras, 32 GTST, CRX, etc. I didn't go out to the track entrance/exit wall so missed a few cars there, but what I showed was a good mix of what was in attendance...or at least what caught my eye. One thing I've learned about having a YT channel is you have to stick to what you know and enjoy otherwise the content suffers. Like Evo's are cool, but I don't know anything about them really...and then there's cars like Miatas/Roadsters that I just don't really find interesting; so putting that stuff in the video kind of kills the flow or energy. There's plenty of no talking walkaround videos on YT but that's not my style. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! Attack Tsukuba 2023 is in a couple weeks!

@@BRICKHOUSESPL I saw the entire video, i enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, but i noticed it's always the same cars. There were porsches, MR2's, alfa romeos, interesting kei cars we don't see anywhere else, but you showed the same cars over and over. Anyways, i hope you have fun at Tsukuba, mad jelly i havent made the trip to Japan yet.

@@dsx5036 Oh yeah, those are perfect examples of cars I'm not super familiar with and/or have niche followings that don't really match the channel. It's solid feedback though. I'll keep it in mind this year and, if I see an owner with some free time, I'll ask for some details on the less mainstream stuff. But yeah, I kind of enjoy seeing all the different ways you can "do the same car." I think that's one of the neatest aspects of time attack - choose your base and then let your imagination go wild. And I know making a trip happen isn't easy but it'll definitely be worth it! Holler if you have any questions as you start planning!

Haha, maybe? Time stamp?

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the time you took to leave your feedback. The channel isn't going to be for everyone and that's cool. But that's the best part of KZfaq - so many different options out there to find what you like. One of the coolest things about the Tsukuba event is the turnout and variety of cars. So many I hadn't seen at prior events and just too many to get everything in one video. It's truly the event of the year.

The quest for the perfect lap. Time attack is a unique form of motorsport - drag racing with turns and traffic. At least there's plenty of variety in the world of cars to find what you like.
