Hello guys, it’s been quite a while (two and a half months).
So, a lot of shit happen in the course of these weeks, and I got a lot of stuff to tell ya so, grab some popcorn while you can.
In the first 2 weeks I’ve been working on my GS300, finishing the build of the engine and twin turbo-charging it. Also, I decided to paint in the same grey colour as the bodykit parts were because I was kinda sick of the silver.







I’ve tuned it and it makes similar power as my Toyota Gita, which was not bad at all.



When I’ve arrived in Japan, the first thing I had to get sorted was my cars’ ECU’s since they were stolen while they were waiting to be shipped to Japan. After that I started buying some parts for my drift project 180SX and they were some gauges to see how the engine was working and also an electronic boost controller from HKS. I got a simple stereo because the stock one didn’t work at all. That was around 500V$.





I also got some Bride seats, Bride interior and D-Max floor mats and that was all 4000V$.





To conclude on the 180SX chapter (for now ;) ), I got the D-Max hood painted the same colour and re-installed it.



The car looks so fucking awesome I don’t have words to express how much I’m enjoying working on this mint 180SX.
Well, when I was waiting on a big shipment of Haltech material, I had to get a car to drive around, because none of them were working, because they had no ECU. So I started searching online for some cars and saw a 1991 Subaru Legacy RS “Turbo” with an N/A EJ20 with 185k km’s for 1500V$ and since I didn’t found anything else and I thought well, this will do the job.
It was a cold night in Osaka and I couldn’t see shit when I went to buy the car but the pictures actually came pretty good. You can see the bumper were all about to fall and dented but I said fuck’em since It drove pretty good and for the price, I couldn’t complain.





So I got it and in the following weekend I bought some colour-match paint, bog, zip-ties and some trims and got the job done and it looks pretty good, for the price (60V$).









I still haven’t took my 180 to a drift event, but that is not a problem in here, since there is a lot of drift tracks nearby, but I need to do a retune since they is fuel with more octanes that in Spain.
Tomorrow, I’ll be flying to Portugal to spend Christmas and New Year ’s Eve with them and have a nice drive on my GS300.
Sorry for the long-ass update but sooner or later, it had to be done.

See ya! Happy Holidays!
