NSX Fiesta 2004 in Suzuka

Wealth good fortune Hiroshi sentence (Kanagawa prefecture)


Opening with Suzuka which is transferred from the Takanezawa factory which continues the production since NSX selling and starts. It is the tour through a factory which is set to the front and back of the fiesta as option, but it is possible to call the eyeball of the fiesta of this year after all, probably will be. I participated in Friday observation.

Me myself, this year like ordinary year it participated without also support of the guest from the foreign country, the club member as an accompanying person. When lunch is taken ahead of time at the restaurant “town of the gathering place among of tastes”, also the other club member includes and the many participants assemble successively. Riding separately to 2 buses, it faces to the factory. Almost it is face familiarity. The origin (black 澤 Genji) you were in our groups.

Yellow Type-R is displayed in the entrance of the factory. ASIMO welcomes with example, explains. After this, the chief of the Suzuka factory it began with the Hashikami hole, at the time of the explanation and observation of in house the origin and of people attendance of the patsy of each section there were notes. We have been made important, it is instantaneous you realize that it is. That from June 1st, it was transferred in the order of S2000, NSX and in sight, is. From Takanezawa it seems that 48 craftsmen change. When altogether 8100 work, it is thing.

Because it is the very wide factory, movement of each section utilizes also the bus. NSX keeps being assembled on the new line which is called the TD line. There was explanation, concerning this “TD”, but T “the Takanezawa” “Takumi” “Two” respective initial, that “Dream” is meant, hears D, succeeding Takanezawa will, in addition in keeps developing the dream which “Our dreams come true” is included, when it is, the thinking which is strong was felt. Being delightful, the shank [e].

With example, as for paint process it cannot see, but when the other than of that the Kanai trap the engine assembly which is applied includes even with Takanezawa, can observe the participant was everyone framework framework with thing. 1960, it is the factory where you start the super with Cub production, the building itself is to be old as expected, but as for this TD line which was newly founded systematically having done, coating of the especially floor is still shiningly. “More getting near from the method of relating, it does not care,” that it is to be recommended, but when something the floor is stepped on, it may pollute being, modesty you walked tend quietly.

It is proper, but even here it has polished in the hand with the file. With welding process there are also times when the spark flies. The goggle was transferred in advance. There is a 冶 tool in here and there.

On the line side “fitting” is flowing. 16 kinds of domestic model the NISSAN 2100 unit are made on 2 these lines, so is. On the TD line it was NISSAN 50. Inside, 1 it probably will put out NSX, is. [sugoi].

The fact that assembly process of the engine can be observed was the valuable experience. Several degrees it visited Takanezawa, but as for the engine because those which were assembled at the other factory were paid. The craftsman of assembly charge, when after all that much the person is around, it cannot concentrate because with, just a little was unfortunate. Just the cover [ri] probably will put out the fact that the assembly is possible, is.

The person who the refreshment takes charge the cover [ri] you are. Takanezawa in the future many owners, it probably is to mean that NSX visits here because in similarly, always it can send good state.


Next day Saturday, more and more it is commencement of the fiesta. This year it is the opening of meeting with the fair weather. Here several years acceptance the same style, stopping the car in the paddock, receive guidance and the token, etc move the car on course. Pass is to be mailed in advance, but something being meager, the shank. There is no either pass case and. Not only the sticker, the expectation which pass and the person who every year is gathered is. It is seated in the gland stand. The owners to rejoice meeting again here and there. It is the usual scenery. “And it came, it is”, that when realizing, is. It becomes opening ceremony here. There is introduction of lecturer position and the authorized personnel etc and notes. Looking at the car which has lined up, with the little way, the feeling that did the just a little quantity was started gently.

After that it returns to everyone car, the opening lap, becomes the lunch. After that because each travelling menu starts, the owner who sets the body in the racing suit it is. With the pit there is various exhibitions, refreshment plan introduction, goods sale and the exhibition etc of the white body. Also the vehicle of GT300 and M-TEC is displayed. The next day course has meant to travel.

Full course, other than east course lead travelling, west course travelling and gymkhana, there was also test drive of the HONDA car. I driving [edeitsukusu] and [integura]. There was also a fuel cell car. When it tries probably to ride legend, “because there is no Beruno car,…” with with the notion that where you say, it was useless. So?

Gymkhana was observed. As for time of beginning “with NSX gymkhana?”With it is to have also the feeling which is said, but yearly the participant thought as increased. The lecturer naturally is the fields and mountains Tetuya player.

Skid pad course every year has challenged, it is pleasant, at the same time it is the difficult menu. About 7 units it was, but the good person now the shank [e].

As for me because it was the year when the travelling menu can be enjoyed after a long time, the end when you thought, it made lead travelling and west course travelling of east course. Lead travelling makes the instructor pull is in 5 about small groups, but assuming, that first meeting was inside the group, when the program ends, you have been frank with the nature, it is, being strange, the shank [e]. Actually when of the option menu which by his runs is thought, color are the choices being, you thought that it is something which was thought well. You think that the owner who every year participates in the pleasure it is many you felt that the good program where, but in the driver and the respective craving is satisfied in the new driver such as that is prepared. Simply, it means that here several year south course travelling are not united, but something the combining [e] which probably is to be a reason.

This time also to be quick for day to come to an end, after the travelling menu of first day ending, the party starts until, there is a time sufficiently, refreshes and arranges it is sufficient. You start the section of the night with the usual party. Thing of every year, it is the good atmosphere where cheerful you cannot say at all. Here and there of the table, you can see the spectacle again to rejoice meeting again. Time distribution not to be appropriate, even boring being the time zone which is thought there was an early time, but recently the or entire flow which is digested is smooth. If it is happy to reach the point where it can do the good production where the game of the quiz and the like you can feel one bodily sensation of gathering and the meeting place well is. The luxurious premium is prepared, the bingo which does not know something hits, has become the usual popularity menu. According to ordinary year, also the club member got several commodities. The next day opening was decided urgently even in, although the seat of the riding together of M-TEC and GT300NSX of fields and mountains Tetuya player drive the inside 2 seats of 3 seats were applied with pulling out selection, you were surprised, in addition enviably thought.

The time where also the party becomes adjournment, the companion gets together in main stage, the spectacle which also the authorized personnel of HONDA and the Suzuka circuit land mixes and takes the souvenir picture being repeated and reaching, being spontaneous are the surprise. After that, always the restaurant which becomes breakfast meeting place becomes the place of secondary meeting. Until it reaches to nighttime with the table of here and there, the bloom it has bloomed in NSX sermon.

Sunday of second day, it does not go with to the fine weather like preceding day, but the just a little cloud. So, worry of the rain is improbable. At breakfast meeting place the NSX owner and the HONDA authorized personnel choose cooking which also your general customer in the same way likes and surround the table. With that way the one whose HONDA is great has had a meal alone. With another table the owner where the top driver is young you have conversed. The small child being pulled the hand in the mother. As for me, there is no top and bottom concerns or business relations, we love the atmosphere of breakfast here where everyone has had a meal together normally old man it is young regardless of. Well, being no [te] free, peace it probably is scene what.

Now morning the travelling menu has started from early on. It should have gotten near to the paddock sound it is audible. The international racing course where F1GP was done 2 weeks ago. Usually because there is no opportunity which it runs very, the travelling menu is popularity. Everyone, it is pleasant at his own pace, is travelling safely. Before each travelling you thought that there is appropriate advice from lecturer position, the face familiar owner is many already in such. “Don't you think? this year it came”.

When the travelling menu which is prepared ends, alignment to all the car main straight. It is gathering photographic set-up, and the final parade run of everyone. Calling parade, in 1 lines it runs at speed of that appearance. Pit out doing, it parks to the paddock.

The course which is less crowded M-TEC NSX which is active with GT300 runs east course. Weekend you refrain from automatic polis game because, the GT vehicle and the driver participate and think that it was harsh schedule. 3 names which at the time of the party of yesterday are chosen with pulling out selection ride together more and more. While you being looked from participant everyone of envy, tight it is installed especially it sits down in the suicide seat, can tighten the harness in method of relating and it is start. When you asked to the club member who returns, “we did not fear completely. In order to stick, it ran, the corner smooth” and unexpected and the calm answering returned. You think that very well the smile of the whole face, you experienced.

All menus end, it is the lunch with the paddock suite. Continuation and adjournment system. A little, it seems that the para para rain falls, but it seems that it had somehow to end. The name remainder it is regrettable, while remaining, greeting to everyone, it designates Suzuka as afterwards.

You said even before, that, you think, but this year as for the participation quantity it was not that much many. But, when it tries passing through the whole event, the feeling which settles doing, you think that very atmosphere had accompanied. Also HONDA one was said, perhaps, but it is becoming something like “homecoming”. The resin which has various problems you hear even in opening itself of the event. Because the participation quantity is rivaled, in order the owner who loves NSX without thing, from future to be 2 days which are complete as the place where 1 Watarai it does in year, it is potato to expect.
