I can't really believe that Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 is less than two days away now. It seems like it wasn't long ago that I was writing about the 2008 edition of the show. If you have ever been to Auto Salon, than you know just how packed the show floor can get, especially on Saturday and Sunday when the public comes. It's literally impossible to walk around without bumping into someone or blocking their ketai picture. Anyways, I'll be heading into the center of it all on Friday morning to bring extensive coverage for Speedhunters. Some of the highlights of this year's show should be tuned 370Z's, the RE Amemiya Genki 7, Kumakubo's Evo X, more GT-R tuning action, D1 demo runs, and a lot more.
Anyone have any special photo requests from TAS?

FIRST!!!
Bryon get me some dope stickers while you're there
T&E bmw's 3 series D1 and X6 + a lot of GT-R + new wheels + carbonfibre details and booth GAL'S
If you do get a chance, if you could take a picture of some of the cars in the parking lot that would be cool. I've seen some of the TAS photos of some of the street tuned cars that you see just outside the show, and if the weather is nice, I'm sure that would make for some cool random snaps.
I was just thinking outloud.
Also, are there going to be any Ericsson (the tuned JDM/Powerhouse Amuse Branch BMW) featured cars there? If there is one of the new E92 M3, I'm sure that would be a cool picture.
Lots of new model wheels for 2009. Especially from Rays, Work, and Advan.
Aristo's!
I want to see more Subie!
Anything Suzuki Swift
Aristo's
kei vans if you please!
Old school nissan/datsuns!

Aristo!! And vintage old school!
I want to see some modified R35 run some laps in Nur....very interested in how these stiffer/lower aftermarket coilovers react to constant elevation change vs the stock ones. I wanna see the cost vs results regarding suspension mod on R35, if used in a non-perfectly smooth environment.

There should be a tuned one around the Mazda booth with some DAMD cars and probably Brightning/Nopro NCEC's, though all the miata guys have seen them. Any roadster coverage is good coverage!

Branew 370Z for me please!!
The EvoX should be ready to go. Ueno's BMW unfortunately is not done yet.

Well I just want to see the D1 cars, I'm sure most of the websites got the tuner cars covered. But if your there to take pictures of tuner cars, Top Secret, JUN and R Magic would be perfect for me. But most of all, PLEASE have each of the photos you take available as a wallpaper, I really wanted the wallpaper of that R Magic RX7 drift car you shot at Fuji last year..... =(
