Hi Guys and Gals!

Lately we have been seeing some very rough economic times with the exchange rates and commodities price increases! It is enough to make us all a little crazy!!

Well we have a new section in our site that can allow you to win up to JPY 20,000 (close to $200 USD) in free gift coupons EVERY Month from our site just for participating!! If you have noticed up in the top right corner there is a link to RHDJapanRidez You can create your cars in the My Account section under My Vehicles This is a new functionality that will allow you to show off your car and its modifications as well as comment on other cars, and rank each other’s cars. Sort of like Cardomain. But the difference is that by creating a car and allowing it to be voted on will automatically get you a chance to win up to JPY 20,000 (close to $200 USD) in products from RHDJapan every month!

RHDJapanRidez was created in response to many requests by users to allow for a some type of page in RHDJapan to represent their vehicles as well as comment on others and share product information and installation tips. We have been taking this in to consideration for the past 2 years and finally figured out a way to not only allow customers a place on our website for them to represent their cars, but also to comment about other user vehicles and give product reviews and tips for installation on all the items for sale in our catalog. There is more in development as we speak.

Basically, you will be able to vote on every car out there but only once. You can even vote on your own car if you want to! The user with the highest vote score for the one month period will get a coupon to be used in our site. There will be a new winner every month! That means tons of possible giveaways to you per car!! Gift certificates to the most popular vehicle owner every month will be issued to be used in our site within 31 days from the winning day. This will continue every month indefinitely.

This is your chance to get a little back and our chance to show you that we do care about you guys and want to promote the motor sports movement and community of JDM enthusiasts around the world. We will display the monthly winners as well as what they have decided to purchase with their gift certificate. If there is a tie for the top position at the end of the month the winners will have to choose a number on the website from 1 to 20 and the closest person to that number will win that month. You will have 24 hours to participate in this sudden death match or automatically forfeit to the other user.

The contest starts officially in November but all votes up to December 31st will be cumulative for December’s winnings so the sooner your car is in there to be voted on the more votes it can possibly have. For the first 6 months we will be giving 20,000 Yen (about $200 USD) gift certificates every month for the top ranked vehicles for that one month period and from June 09 we will be giving 10,000 Yen (about $100 USD) certificates every month to the top voted monthly winner. A car can only win once. The coupon is good for 31 days from the day of winning, is not transferrable, redeemable as cash, or applicable to any orders already made or pending and can only be used with the user account that has won the prize.

Of course, in using our site you are agreeing to use it in good spirit and will act responsibly and respectfully to the RHDJapanRidez community. No funny stuff! We are always open to advice and requests so please feel free to contact us.

We Just got back from Round 4 D1 drift competition at Okayama Circuit. Okayama International Circuit is a 3.7 Kilometer circuit that has been in existence since the early 1990s. It is located in a very beautiful low lying mountain range about 200 km outside of Osaka. It is regarded as a dangerous track for spectators by many in the industry because of its lack of big barriers and shallow buffer zones around the turns. Zep Racing rents 2 garages that hold 4 cars total here to test demo cars and the rates sound very reasonable.  As for the event it rained off and on all day until the best 8 and then the sun came out. The crowd was good and we were surprised at how many showed up because the weather forecasts said there would be rain all day. The usual players were here but there were some new cars as well.  Conditions were wet and difficult. It would rain and then dry up a little so the track condition was constantly changing. There were a lot of course outs and many bumpers and side steps were lost in the battle. There were so many pics that I wasnt sure what to as they all came out really well.  For those of you waiting for the dvd we thought it would be better not to give a play by play. Instead here are the pictures. The videos are up here.

We have been doing a lot of updates to the site as perhaps many of you have noticed. We have a new rims and tires section to deal specifically with rims and tires. We have also added a new search program to allow for better searching as well as an advanced search that will allow you to filter by car, brand or product category. You can even set those and enter a key word to search within those categories. There is also a brands page that we are constantly updating with information on the makers here in Japan. There is a tuning page in which we try to explain the parts that used for tuning in order to help newcomers to the scene make educated decisions on products and tuning. Our friend at APP also stopped by the other day and wanted us to upload some pics that they took from Odaiba Tokyo Drift event. APP for those of you who dont know is a really great company that makes brake and clutch lines as well as oil coolers and other tuning products. You can check out the set below. There are many more changes and modifications in the works and lots of new parts going in daily. As you can see we are very hard at work here doing our best to be the best!! If you need anything dont forget to contact us as we always listen and do everything we can to get it done!
