Genki7 from RE-Amemiya

Seems TAS will have some excitement after all when Ama-san will unveil the Genki 7.  Here are a few snaps taken from his blog

Car will be painted in what seems a light sky-blue pearl hue.  Doors were recently done

Car seems to be an evolution of the GReddy III I shot earlier in the year.  Front end will feature Lotus Elise headlights while the rear seems to be untouchd GReddy III.

The side-ported 13B will is fitted with an externally gated  Trust TD07-25G.  

A nice ORC red brake kit has already been fitted up front.

The chassis was spot welded, prepped and painted a while back.  As you can see it’s all done in the same light sky-blue pearl as the rest of the car will be sprayed in.

Can’t wait to see the finished car.  It’s looking pretty cool already considering it started off life like this!

HKS and Trust out of TAS 2009

Seems the rumors going around are true.  HKS and Trust will not be at TAS next month.  Very sad to hear this but I guess they just don’t have enough new products to show.  Blame the current economic situation and the lack of tunable cars coming out of Japan, whatever it is people are just not spending as much money as they were on their cars.  

At least with the R35 and Z34 there will be something interesting to see at TAS.  We shall see….
