Quote of the video. "You don't have to go wild to have a good time". So true, many people don't get into circuit events because the perception is you need the ultimate to just be there. Great video. Amazing cars. Headphone users enjoy the GT3RS's at the start!

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

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!

[@kentbeitel9966]

Time attack and pikes peak always have the most creative/crazy aero! I love the unlimited, having free reign breeds creativity! 🤘🔥

Love the pit walkthroughs, having a bilingual guy go through and point out all the cool parts is super cool. When you say surge tank do you mean what in the US we'd typically call a catch can? Most of those look way too small for a fuel pump!

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

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

[@ngamber]

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

[@johnbrennan8611]

3:14 LOOK AT THAT DAMN THING!!! See this is why I love Time Attack. You don't have to worry about restrictive regs, you don't have to worry much about contact so you can run CRAZY aero, you don't have to run numerous laps at a time so you can use a super small & light fuel system. It's just like "oh, you built your car this way, here's a class for yo. Have fun." Pinnacle bro, SOOOOO jealous you got to go to this.

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

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.

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

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.

Home of Time Attack. Remember 1 min is the benchmark. If you can pull a sub 1 min lap, you got a pretty good ride. 👍 Keep these coming bro. Got a sub from me 4 this one.

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

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.

[@johnbrennan8611]

@@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.

Looking at Fire Ando’s recent record breaking lap… and seeing these monsters not even coming close despite being seriously quick cars themselves, shows how ridiculous of a feat that lap by Ando was…

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

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.

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

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.

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.👍

[@2zz98]

Peaked the TPS MR-S for a second there, was it not in the pits?

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

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]

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!

[@jeraldmcwilson2189]

Question are those affordable at. All. Sir. Low. Price

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

Not sure what you're referring too?

[@dsx5036]

You talk about variety but all you show is FDs and S chassis.

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

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!

@@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!

[@ohoiboi9818]

Question not related to cars but do japanese people act like they might get COVID from you just because your not a "local" I don't mean anything discrimination related by the question just wondering when I visit if the general mentality has become more standoffish since COVID started including places to eat...love the videos hope things keep getting better for you.

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

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.

[@ohoiboi9818]

@@BRICKHOUSESPL lol hopefully facial relief happens this summer for you. That's kind of nice that people respect each other more so there.

Thanks for taking the time to respond it's much appreciated.

Thanks again

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

@@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.
