    Tokyo-bound

    I'm off to Tokyo in a couple weeks with limited (if any) free time. Was originally wanting to get some Zoom gear but their Rakuten site has solved that challenge mostly. I'm planning on having a colleague order some parts from RS products but wondering... if you had half a day or less in Tokyo and were focused on Miata-goodness - i) where would you go and ii) what would you try and bring back (within reason)

    I'd consider swinging by the old M2 building just for pictures and nostalgia. I understand it may be a funeral parlour now, so I wouldn't ask for a tour.

    If you have a RoadsterBros or HyperREV book it will have all the shop address' listed. Then just google which is closest to you.

    Thanks for the suggestions! Phat, great call on getting a copy of RoadsterBros - now feel more legitimized in finally breaking that seal. Have just put in my order with Bill.

    Does anyone know if there is a specific shop in Tokyo that would carry the Nakamae range? Unlikely to be bringing back a set on the plane but I'm dying to sit their Type R seats to see if I fit!

    Try to get Pfunk to chime in, he lives just outside Tokyo, had a full custom Nakamae interior installed this past year.
