AVO Turboworld started in Australia about 39 years ago by Terry Wilson. About 12 years ago, one of the Wilson's (Ross) moved to Japan and opened a tuning shop there, AVO Turboworld Japan. So technically, while Australian, it's considered a local Japanese tuning shop, especially given how well we've been doing at Tsukuba Circuit in the time attacks. And I am American, I joined with AVO Turboworld Japan several years back when I was an automotive journalist in Japan. Back on point, Ross and AVO Turboworld Japan proved themselves many times over in Japan, and has pretty much become official "JDM". |

Haha, sorry guys - even after 15 years in Japan, I can't read kanji for the life of me (outside of what was necessary to get around). Hiragana/Katakana are fine, but memorizing 3000 kanji wasn't in the books.

that run was with the rear sway bar on I gather? can certainly see the lack of rear end grip particularly through the slower corners.
