The Roll Cage has arrived!!

So Alex and I went to Narita airport to pick up the roll cage today.

First, we went to the shippers, and paid for the freight charge.

Then, we went to customs to make our declaration, and then pay the appropriate sales tax.

Finally, we went to the United Airlines freight terminal, and picked up the cage itself!


Whew! 66kgs!

Tomorrow, I meet with Alex at Camp Zama, and we will see how much of the cage we can install - we anticipate not being able to do much, but at the very least, will be able to get the foam padding on the bars, put some rust proofing on other parts, etc.

Plan is to take the car with Sumi-san to Techno Pro Spirits tomorrow and have them do the timing belt.

Sumi-san has also informed me that he has reserved lodging for most of the drivers (except Simon). Also, Miguel just gave me a new gas canister for the team.

Slowly, but surely...
