Back at it again...

○ Hey guys ! Whats up ?
○ Sorry for not posting for 4 days , I've just had to do some things and I kinda forgot to post :P , anyway , Ebisu was very fun !

○ So , I kinda missed most of the first day because I arrived quite late but luckily I managed to get some laps at Minami before the track closed. Here are some pics :







○ I kept wanting to send it even closer to the wall , and I did pretty good I'd say...







○ I ended up sleeping in the back seat of the 180. It wasnt comfy at all , but I managed to get through the night. :))

○ After eating breakfast I decided to go lay some rubber and on the first lap it happened...







○ I sent it too much and kinda tapped the wall :D but hey , at least there's no frame damage !

○ After leaving the stuff at the pits I continued to slide it , here's my closest drift to the wall without tapping it :



○ It was pretty sick and I had a lot of fun. When I got back to the garage I managed to get the bumper and the garnish back in their place but the rear right taillight got really busted up and was beyond repair. Oh well , I aint sad at all , because after all , thats why I bought this car.



○ The 180 performed quite well , but it overheated just a little bit , nothing major. I'll probably have to get a better radiator or something... Also , the suspension is on point , and the engine is not lacking power. Man , I cant wait to drift this thing more , its so fun !

○ I'll also have to get a bucket seat to hold me in place and a new steering wheel. I'll just throw the cheapest things I can find at the 180. After all , its probably going to end up as a missile.

○ I've also worked a bit more on the Supra yesterday. I pulled the motor and cleaned the engine bay up from all the dust and dirt....

○ Here's a "before" pic :



○ And after...



○ The 2J is not missing anything , which is great , but I'll have to rebuild it for sure.







○ Its completely stock for now , and I think I forgot to mention , this thing came with a V160 transmission , which is a 6 speed manual transmission. Man , this project is gonna take a bunch more time , but its gonna be worth it 100% !

○ Anyway , thats all for now , I hope you guys enjoy the pics from Ebisu and the next place the 180 is going is ... actually , tune in to see for yourself... ;)

○ See ya guys around !
