Hmm, technically, yes... sort of.

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.
