Pictures from Toyotafest 2012
The 17th annual TORC Toyotafest was held this past weekend at the Queen Mary in Downtown Long Beach, CA. There were many nice VIP Lexus cars and just as many old-school Toyota’s.
Congratulations to Matthew Tom for winning Best Lexus at the show! His VIP CT200h is rocking the new SSR Professor MS3 wheels.
Here are a few pictures of cars I spotted running new & old SSR wheels. Thumbs up for representing!

It’s so HUGE: 145-inch Ultra HD Plasma Display
We here at More-Japan like things BIG. I mean, who doesn’t like big things? The current trend in consumer technology is to make things smaller, more compact & portable, but packed with more features. So when news came out about NHK & Panasonic revealing its new 145-inch Ultra High Definition Plasma display we were surprised that something like this is technically possible.
So here’s the gritty details. The 145-inch display houses almost 34 million square pixels. That’s a resolution of 7,860 pixels wide and 4,320 pixels tall and 60 frames per second. What’s also good to note is a new drive technology that scans rows of pixels simultaneously so there’s no screen tearing or flickering. This is impressive considering large displays commonly have screen flickering issues.
A plasma display this big means a color-rich viewing mode that looks nearly real. Could you imagine having this in your living room?

Coverage from M-Fest 2012 Las Vegas
Over the weekend we were invited to check out this year’s M-Fest in Las Vegas, Nevada. M-Fest began a few years ago as a track-day event specifically for BMW M-series cars and it has now grown into a weekend event that includes competitions, car show, and nightlife on the Strip. The show cars on display were nice and clean, while the track cars were fast and loud; just how we like it. Out at the Las Vegas Speedway it was very sunny and extremely hot. Nevertheless, the atmosphere at M-Fest was enjoyable and watching cars quickly zip around the track made us forget that we were in almost 100 degree weather.We’d also like to give a big thanks to Stephen D. for getting us passes for the event! We really appreciate it! Here are some of our pictures from the event:
