Fukuoka Custom Car Show 2010 was recently held at the Yahoo Dome, home of the Fukuoka Hawks baseball team.
With the Fukuoka Auto Salon cancelled this year, we went along to see what was on offer. Amongst the many VIP styled and Kei cars there were quite a number of local Kyushu and Fukuoka based workshops and tuners in attendance.

Time Attack at Tsukuba has been dominated by the Evo, GTR and RX7 in the past, but the Scorch S15 Silvia has a real chance of dipping down into record 54 second in the future, look out Cyber Evo!
Occasionally orders are damaged during transit and we have found the insurance claim process for carriers such as EMS and Fedex to be quite time consuming.
While not a frequent occurrence, it has typically taken the Japan Post and Fedex several months to process claims. This means you don't have a functional part until the carrier honours the claim enabling us to send out your replacement.
To address this, we are excited to launch a new feature on the Nengun Performance website enabling additional flexibility on insurance options during checkout.

The GTR's ranged from the new Silver Wolf body kit from Tommykaira to the circuit focused HKS GT600. The 350Z's are becoming less common with the 370Z's picking up most of the attention, our favourite being the Amuse 370 Vestito kit.
