- Attack Tsukuba brought the variety this year with a huge line up of entrants from Evo and Skylines to Civics and Silvias...and of course, plenty of FD3s RX7's were present as well. This event really is worth the trip and is truly special in size and venue. Tsukuba Circuit is the home of Time Attack!

What I love most about your content is your coverage is pretty much exactly what we do at events. It really gives that feeling of actually being there.
Also where has pit parking and queue management been all my life!
I appreciate that! I always struggle on where to land with coverage and knowing Shuboxinc and Narita Dogfight will likely have good coverage of the results, I figured it'd try to show the atmosphere and some of the smaller teams/cars in attendance. There's honestly so much there it could be a four hour video easily.
And for sure, I think they doubled down on parking attendants this year versus last year. There was always a whistle going off next to you. Haha
@@BRICKHOUSESPL that is what I appreciate about this channel. It’s a real enthusiast’s view. I also like the fact that the footage isn’t “over produced”. The production is spot on I think raw enough to convey the sights and sounds but not poorly shot or put together.
I think it’s the coolest thing. Everyone knows the frustration of a busy event. Queue jumpers, people blocking your pit exit etc. Japanese culture is so cool
@@martindeoliveira5128 100% agree with you. Dont worry about what others are doing Steve, we're all here for you and what you think is cool.
You're coverage shows what the others choose not to (for whatever reason) but to us watching is the most interesting.
You show what YOU are into and thats why we're here
Yeah love the coverage. Def got my sub :)
@@s2kcolin780 thank you!
You know it's an even better day when there's a 50 minute brickhouse vid at Tsukuba!
Haha, appreciate those vibes! Big event calls for big video...and the algorithm hasn't been punishing me for the longer length of recent vids so I figured send it! Haha
@@BRICKHOUSESPL hell yeah! Feels so good to be able to come back to these videos and watch them over time
thx for taking the video!I'm the owner of BAR11 & the driver of RX-8.
I'm glad you came to see the Attack.
@@bar11aki oh, very cool! I'll say hi next time I see you at the track! It was really cool to see the bar and racing together👏👏
最近からRX8を興味がありますので、インプレとアドバイスもを教えて欲しいです!
Great content! Looking forward to more!
Thank you! Really appreciate the support!
Holy moly😍😍
Thanks for “special request”💙
Best Tsukuba Attack video in my opinion!😇
It only took a year but I found it! Haha. Thanks for the support!!
Absolutely amazing coverage. First rate. Thank you. Give us more!
Really appreciate the support! Last year's Tsukuba event plus the other 2022 Attack events are on the channel as well if you want to check them out. 😊
These videos are literally my favourite thing to watch. Killer job Steve!
Thanks homie - I'll try to keep them coming!
I am so happy to see Under Suzuki doing well.
For sure, it was great to see him! I think the whole time attack world is waiting for his return!
Very cool event! Thanks for the coverage. If you ever see that yellow mini 36:10 again please show more of it, I would love to get some Tsukuba inspiration for my project!
I will keep an eye out for it in the future!
I just had to sign in to comment on how fantastic your mic is and the true sound it shows of the cars in your videos. the sound of the cars going buy is an eargasm thank you!!!
Oh wow, I really appreciate that - thank you!! It's nothing too fancy but better than the standard on board mic for sure. The engine noises are the best soundtrack!
As someone who use to watch old best motoring and read options its cool to see this stuff again! Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching and taking a minute to leave a comment! Time attack is such a visual treat on and off track; super enjoyable event!
Thanks dude! Keep up the great work, love the content.
Really appreciate the support and you taking a minute to leave a comment!!
Watching your videos are always great, but the Tsukuba and Attack video coverage get me pumped to get my FC ready for track days as winter in Canada comes to an end. As always great job behind the camera Steve. Might talk to you about getting parts for the FC from Nerdgold !
Really appreciate the support and kind words! Track FC sounds awesome and spring is just around the corner now. And for sure, send me a link if you find something you're after!
Awesome! I would love to go to this event one day! Thanks for the content.

So much to see 🙂 that yellow crx looking goooood ❤️😀
That's for sure - huge event! And yeah, really functional, suuuuper clean CRX track build!
The honda citys on the Bridgestone RAP's SO cool.
Right!! Oh man, I love those little things. Cusco had one on display at the Nostalgic 2 Days event (on Super RAPs as well) and they're just so quirky cool. I've been looking at Honda Today's and City's for sale recently...and they can be hand for not crazy money! hahaha
this is like inital d final final stage.. sooo insane.. so much eye ball bliss
Hahaha, it sure is a treat. So much creativity and engineering on display.
love your videos
Really appreciate your support!
Dude.. that Anshin R32 looks like muscular Godzilla
Yeah, it is just such a raw and wild build. Anything with twins that big earned the name Godzilla.💪💪
owesome…hope one day vw mk6,mk7 join tsukuba time attack
I'm sure it will happen - it just takes a passionate owner and team!
Awesome video! Loved the MR2s. I'm probably the only one checking out the Toyota vans. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching! And if you're talking about the Toyota Hiace's, then I'm on board! Perfect parts hauler and track support vehicle. Someday!

@@BRICKHOUSESPL Thanks for the info.
Great video of the event.
Kei Jimny and Kei Cars FTW
Stunning Fire Ando
Thank you! And for sure, the kei cars are fun to see! A little something for everyone at this event.
great video so many good shots of awe3soem cars. Your knowledge of JDM cars is inspiring.! wish you would of talked about times and who won what class. surprises, upsets, drivers. it is a sport with real winners, don't forget.
Really appreciate the kind words - thank you! Live at the event, it's really hard to track and follow results (and I missed the morning session) unless you're standing at a monitor. There's just so much going on, hard to hear, etc. I could add it to the video when editing but I know @shuboxinc and @naritadogfight always have good result based recaps. The event results are on the Attack website as well here: www.timeattack.co.jp/4428
A more story based approach is a good idea and would be fun to get there. It'll just take more production time/budget to make it happen. Really appreciate the feedback!
26:44 Bring it! haha
Japan's Annual FD Convention. Hahaha
Did you catch the old 2007 I think Cusco GT300 WRX?? It was sitting on a trailer haven’t been able to find any footage of it except on SpeedHunters. Wanted to see more as I own the same body car.
Sorry, I didn't. 😢 So much going on there's still a bunch I missed.
Yo! Steve posted a video! I like it, I want it, I subscribe! 😂
Hahaha, that's what I'm talking about - need those engaged subscribers!
Nice🙌
Thanks man!! Appreciate you leaving a comment!
holy unders s15 is just absolutely insane!
It has evolved into a seriously wild machine! Can't wait to see it run.
God damn, I want an FD so bad and this didn't help.
Make sure you're showing S15's love too, I need some inspiration!
Good idea on the event stickers, a good way to support and it's great for us that can't attend but love this stuff. I was gonna ask if you do event pick ups / purchases.
Dude, for real, finding a no title FD shell to prep for time attack is super appealing...if I had the money. Haha. It's just such a cool chassis with all the race car forethought integrated from the factory.
Only a couple S15's this year unfortunately. I think three if you count Under Suzuki.
And yeah, as long as it's not too awkward to carry around, I can get merch from events or tracks and ship it out.
@@BRICKHOUSESPL Man, I hope that comes true for you one day. Just so I can experience it vicariously through you!
The RE-amemiya front end is so damn nice to look at.
I'm sure the up coming SR Heritage show will make up for it!
@@Yoshi-gz4rp SR Heritage is marked on the calendar! Hopefully the weather cooperates this year. And the week prior is Attack Fuji. Much smaller event but they haven't announced the driver list yet so not sure who will be there.
Best kept secret on CZcams cars
I really appreciate that!! Not a secret is okay with me though. Haha. The more it grows, the more content I can produce! haha
Do you know why they have the cars with the engine running on stands? I've never seen that before.
They're warming up the gear oil/diff/trans/basically anything moving so that way when they go out and give it the beans there's already a little heat in the systems. There isn't much driving time to do that on track - one out lap, one or two attacks, one cool down. You see it in drifting as well - raising the rear and letting the wheels spin in gear. Drifting is a lot of sitting in the pits cold and then go out for your run group without much driving to warm things up and immediately put all the stress on the systems.
That's so weird and sounds like the kind of thing they would come up with here in Japan. I've done my share of drag racing which like wise is a lot sitting around waiting to do one pass, but you never see them doing that.
Us MR2 guys barely do it... lol it just fits. I hear it in your voice Yes they are a Pain in the arse.
Oh man, that's rough. Haha.
Droolfest 🤤 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a good event. Thanks for taking a moment to leave a comment!!
I might have missed it, but any video of the JZA80 on track? Curious how it went! Awesome vid!
Thank you! I think I might have missed him on track at this event. I took a look at his engine setup and caught him on track at the 2022 event I believe. And then the Attack Suzuka and maybe Fuji event as well in 2022. I saw him at Attack Fuji this year but haven't edited the video yet! 😬
16:35 does anyone know what wheels are on that stance legacy??
I'm sorry, I don't. Hopefully someone else can chime in!
30:55 you can easily notice the wing is huge just look at that man's hand it's tiny compared to the wing 😮😮
Hahaha, yeah, just massive. Hard to really show in video or picture but just crazy big!
Under suzuki's s15 looking so wild👌
No kidding! The evolution is crazy. Turning into a Super GT car. hahaha
@@BRICKHOUSESPL you should make review video when it finish build Steve😁
@@elpepi_elpepi that would be super cool!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!
damn they have corolla gr and nissan z out there but no fl5 yet?
That's a really good point. Spoon has theirs they've been running at different test days and video shoots, but it would be cool to see something like that in the shop/exhibition class.
@@BRICKHOUSESPL exactly... :( haha here's to waiting to see the performance of it modded
❤
☺️☺️🙏
Always love time attack. Did notice one thing though, att 11:28 those welds are......yikes, need some practice lol. Maybe I'll start a mobile welding truck in Japan for track days when I'm done with the military. haha
That looked like it was titanium on the door bars. Super interesting part to make out of titanium. But yeah, that's always been the case. American/westerners obsess over pretty welds and Japan has a much more "if it works" approach, said as they flip down their non-auto-darkening helmet or hold their lens shield in one hand and mig with the other. It has definitely improved in recent years though. And for manifolds, Altrack, S&A Auto Create, etc really make some beautiful pieces. But yeah, the beauty of welds and wiring cleanliness aren't generally the strong suit of average Japanese builds.
@@BRICKHOUSESPL yeah in the west I think it's more of an art form to get beautiful yet incredibly strong welds done. Sargent for me constantly tells me welding is an art form. Plus over here the more beautiful welds(as well as strong) means you get payed much more. Wonder if there is a market in Japan somewhere for foreigners with amazing welding skills to get hired at tuner shops lol. Not as in making more money but just for general getting a job. Of course with a grasp of the Japanese language (N4 and above)
@@IronLife1386 I'm sure it's possible to find a position like that with enough persistence and patience. There's some business owners here really welcome to foreigners and foreign ideas/styles. If it's a dream, it might be worth putting together a portfolio of work and reaching out to shops. I know Japan takes licensing seriously for most businesses and trades, but I'm not sure how much that's looked at in the automotive customization world. Japanese work hours, pay, and lifestyle can be a huge transition (especially for Americans) so it might be worth coming on a 90 day tourist visa at first and volunteering if you've found a shop to potentially work with as a trial run for both of you before selling everything and moving across the world. A couple thousand in plane tickets and hotels will be worth the piece of mind.
@@BRICKHOUSESPL don't have to worry about the hours pay and lifestyle part honestly haha the military is much worse in all three 🤣🤣🤣. And it's definitely not a dream, I will be heading there after the service, already have some contacts there through the military luckily enough.
@@BRICKHOUSESPL plus being fairly use to the culture ( also being even more I'm not use to of course) I know what to expect. Working on N4 currently as well. Then onto N3 etc etc.
Bro! You were there with Dino.
Haha, yeah, I saw him walking around across the paddock.
Fast and furious cars!
Haha, yeah, and a lot of them!
Fantastic job Steve. So much good content. Shame there was a lack of JZA80's but still good to see YoChan Ssk out in his Supra.
Really appreciate that! I was hoping to see the super wild JZA80 out again that was there last year (I forget the name of the team _______ fudousan, I think). I was hoping to see it more refined. Yochan's Supra always looks amazing! The perfect middle ground of street and track.
🤝👍

Intake manifolds are called surge tanks? 😕
Yeah, aftermarket intake plenums are usually called surge tanks. What we call surge tanks (for gasoline) in English are called collector tanks.
OEM intake manifolds are called intake manifolds or usually "inmani" as an easier to say shortened form.
But it's kind of like trunk and boot or hood and bonnet; interchangeable just depends on who's talking.
@@BRICKHOUSESPL interesting, but why surge tank? I mean where does the reasoning come from for it? Because as far as I can tell there is no kind of "surge" that comes from an intake manifold, is there??
@@justin3131ify Ummm, not sure. Maybe the same reason we call the fuel surge tank a surge tank. During times of high demand, there's extra volume to help keep up. Just speculation but that's what I always figured.
I heard wrong " ..theres so many gay cars..." 🤣17:12 And then I see the pink ... 😂
Having a blast there I see...😎👍
Suzuki Swift owner and great fan here 😍
Was the living legend there ? Keiichi Tsuchiya 😍
Oh man, I'll have to be more careful to speak more clearly. 😓 Haha.
Swifts have a huge following here - their super well rounded for day to day life and still have the tuning spirit. I'd like to mess with one as some point.
And no, I didn't see Tsuchiya there. 😕
I've seen less aero at a flying enthusiasts convention.
Hahaha, wings one wings!
maybe a little chit chat with the owner/driver about the car, machine check, nerdy rare parts of the car, any sort of interaction will be great... steelies wheel on that honda today is actually a forged alloy wheels
I 100% agree with you. Here come the excuses (haha). Basically, with the size of the event and action on and off track and then the shortened day for me, I knew it would a challenge to go super in depth. And to be honest, I get a bit apprehensive about pestering people (if they're even by their car) during their biggest event of the year even though most everyone is chill (just varying levels of busy). And then subtitles double editing time so it's just a matter of landing on a formula that works. But mindset wise, I'm right there with you - that's the kind of content I want to make. Attack Fuji is around the corner and last year it had more of a regular track day feel with a fraction of the drivers in attendance so that might be a better opportunity. Appreciate the input! And that's rad about the wheels - super cool car!
@@BRICKHOUSESPL alls good man.. binge watching all your content just recently
@@goodboy_aqee58 oh wow, thanks for joining the journey!
Traction control is the winning bolt-on, look how fast F1 banned it
I'm not super familiar with F1 but I would imagine at the highest level of time attack a proper traction control strategy is one if the keys to fast times. In F1, no traction control seems like it would make for a more exciting show.
I wonder why no subaru? Other than the new 86 of course, is there a reason? Before everyone starts attacking me I also own a trueno so I got much yota love too ya'll lol
You know, I wondered the same thing when editing. I was like, "wait a second, I don't think I saw one Subaru." I'm honestly not sure why. Maybe I missed one or two? But it does seem odd there isn't a couple at this level.
2nd jimny - jb43 body
Nice, thank you! I noticed when editing some of them had white plates so, some kei Jimny's and some larger engine spec Jimny's? I not super well versed in them. They just look like fun. Haha
Usui Crx - rebuild/painted ect.
Oh awesome - thanks for sharing! Just found him on Instagram! Really neat build!
The T in Tsukuba is silent. You pronounce it sukuba.
It's not a hard T sound like in English but it's not silent either. Japanese has a separate SU (す) hiragana/sound in their "alphabet," so TSU (つ) is a separate sound and it's more like a smashing of the T and the S together (with the tongue against the roof of your mouth and forcing air through). So you're right, it's not "Teh-sukuba" but it's also not "Sukuba."
@BRICKHOUSESPL but you pronounced it teh sukuba lol. And you werent talking in Japanese so I dont know why you are explaining how to say it in Japanese. In English you pronounce it sukuba lol. Its not that complicated.
@@Andrew_460 Do you dip "torteeya" chips or "torTILa" chips in salsa? We aren't speaking Spanish when we say "torteeya." Just like we're not speaking French when we say "buffay" instead of "buffit." Those are foreign loan words that we pronounce in a non-English pronunciation.
There is no English pronunciation of Tsukuba. It's a proper noun. All English pronunciations of Japanese words are approximations using our roman alphabet to try and match the Japanese sounds. Sometimes it works out well like "sushi" and sometimes it's a terrible fail like onigiri (or anytime an "ri" is used really). Just to note, there's no silent T in front of sushi... because it's written with a different Hiragana (my point previously).
I see what you're saying and get the point you're trying to make but it's not that cut and dry. Sure, "Sukuba" sounds more similar to correct pronunciation than "teh-sukuba" (as long as you're pronouncing it more like "skuba" and not "SUkuba). Feel free to timestamp where I said "Teh-sukuba" and I'll check it out but what you might be hearing is tsu said in a more Japanese way...going back to the torteeya vs torTILa example above.
I don’t understand skyline owners who put all this money you can get 1000 hp that looks stock I like that better
I think there's definitely a different build philosophies, budgets, and starting points. Sometimes a cars engine was built years ago and now the body is being updated and then the engine will be updated again; kind of just being built in phases. The Autobahn r33 is definitely a good example of a fresh new age build. And the Anshin Jidousha super crazy bnr32 is more of a nostalgic big twin setup. And in the Pro Stock Motorsports R32 is kind of that oem+ track car feel. Definitely lots of different reasons for why cars are built the way they are.
Mate, I'm not sure if you're aware but there's a fair bit of American-centric lack of respect here. It's quite offensive in Japan to laugh about the different classes of competition.
I'm not sure what you're referring to but feel free to explain or time stamp where you mean. I think if you watch any of my other videos you'll see being disrespectful is certainly not my style. Maybe a misunderstanding in how the line was delivered?
Those Suzukis 😍
So nutty right! I had no idea. 😂
