Tokyo Auto Salon 2008...

Yes I know its a bit late with this blog entry but here goes. I had a full weekend to take in the 2008 Tokyo Auto Salon at Makuhari Messe, Chiba-Ken! What a show it was. The standard of tuning cars just seems to get higher and higher, and now with the new car entries into the market (GTR, Impreza, Evo X etc) it made for some interesting demo cars from some of the worlds best tuning companies! The new GTR being the main star as you can imagine. I could write all day about this show, but I'd still be no further forward and probably just bore you. So out of the many hundreds of photos taken, im going to cut it down and post just 15...enjoy!

Mugen Honda Stand was very impressive...

Unveiling of the new SuperGT R35 GTR...

D1 was represented strongly, which is good to see! Many D1 cars on display and live action outside from many of the best drifters! Roll on the new season, which has a few new twists!

Speaking of D1, the new Blitz car for Nomuken in 2008...R35!

Many R35 GTR on display, but I really liked the Greddy one...

But for overall tuning it had to be the HKS R35 GTR...

Blitz had an impressive lineup of cars this year... DRAG SUPRA!

JUN stand was great too, new Evo X and D1 Cars on display...

Top Secret put on a great show with new GTR and Porsche...

MiNES had the most simple, but busiest stand...Less is more!

My favourite Evo X from the show (Varis stand)

My overall Car of the Show...RE Amemiya RX7, full carbon!

Speaking of carbon...My favourite R32...Saurus Carbon GTR!

Most insane Car of the Show award goes to WELD!...CRAZY!
