My Power House Amuse facility visit: Nismo 380RS Super Laggera Up-close & personal
I decided to take a spontaneous trip up to the Power House Amuse facility yesterday. It was a long trip and by the time I got there, I was pretty sleepy. However, once I saw the Super Leggera parked in the driveway I got so excited that I was wide awake lol.
I have always loved Amuse products and wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself in person to the staff if possible. Unfortunately Hideki Tanabe, the company's founder passed last year so I did not know what to expect once I entered the doors. I was greeted by a female that was very pleasant. As we talked more, I soon found out that it was Tanabe-san's wife and that she is the new president of Power House Amuse. I soon found out that she is really friendly and genuine. Without going in to too much detail about what was discussed, it was nice to witness a top tuner company that is down to earth and passionate about what they do without the cockiness.
I truly look forward to more trips back to their facility for future projects!
For now, enjoy the pics.

She was even nice enough to take time out of her busy day and drive us back to the train station

Lulz. Having a translator come along does wonders haha.
Maybe it is something that could be looked in to for the future. Unless it is some exclusive item.
