Thanks for the kind comments guys 
"Thanks for sharing, that was too cool. I only get to see that track on GT5
"
Actually, GT5 is REALLY accurate! I only got GT5 a couple of months ago and it surprised me. The only thing that is a bit off is the gradients of the track which are surprisingly pronounced at Tsukuba IRL. But otherwise it's perfect.
"oh man what a great vid! when the dude in front of you over compensated and then lost it I was hooting and hollaring!"
Yeah lol don't worry, I gave him heaps when I got back to the pits
"passing an R34? wow."
Yeah was pretty happy with that! Not bad for the standard 15G Turbo, especially on that track (which is a bit long for my setup to be honest).
"What do you do over there? I'm assuming you are not military or DOD since I did not see a Y plate on your Evo."
No not Military, kinda do my own thing, work online mostly.
"Nice video, can't say I like your buddy's WRC wing much, doesn't look like it helped him much going straight outta that turn, haha. "
Actually, he says it gives more stability than the stock one from over about 120 kmph (didn't that time lol), but in his case, the car is too damn high at the back and so when he got out of shape, it was maybe actually a detriment. If he drops the suspension (especially in the rear, like the WRC cars) and fits wider wheels I think it will be much better.
"Tell your friend with the MR when he gets into this situation again push the pedal on the right not the one in the middle. "
Haha, you shoulda seen the spin after that
"Who makes the front bumper on that red Evo 9(wrc like you said) ? "

" I really wanna see one of those rwb porches in person, they are honestly insane. "
It was insane. I could not get my fingers between the top of the tires and the body, no way. And it was so low, there's no way you could drive it anywhere but on a track (even though it is registered lol) this guy redefined 'clearance'. Unfortunately for us, he also redefined stupid when he dropped oil along the racing line around half the track
But yeah, awesome looking car in the flesh, the GT2 and GT3's next to it looked pretty 'meh' in comparison!

?? This is Japan, nobody gets ticked off at anything...
The only time people will get ticked off is if you are dangerous and or act like a complete *** on the track. But that goes for any country.
Nobody could care less what you bring to the track.
Man I have seen a van at a track day lol.
You will be fine
