Goodbye Tokyo , hello Osaka !
-✔ Ahh shit , here we go again. So , first of all , sorry for not posting yesterday , but I've been kinda busy and tired after the Tokyo - Osaka trip , but man it was so fun ! Mostly we just cruised on the highway , but then Mackay and I decided to do a little highway race. The road was mostly empty since we started early in the morning and I gotta say , we were neck in neck ! It was so fun , though I was kinda scared to go all out with the Supra. I really didn't want something bad to happen to her since I love her so much , but man , Mackay has some balls ! He floored it and slalomed through traffic , and thats where the race pretty much began. Once again , it was incredibly fun. ✔-  -✔ Overall , the whole trip passed kinda quickly. When we arrived I told Mackay that we absolutely have to do that again when the cars are all done. Man , I honestly can't wait to see how both of my cars turn out. I mean , me and the team are going to build absolute street beasts out of these things , but it's gonna take a while to get there. Also , if feels so nice finally enjoying the crap out of the Supra because I worked so hard to get it on the road , y'all probably know by now how much of a transformation this car went through. I'm just so happy that it's a fully working car now , but I'm not stopping here. Some heavy under-the-hood mods are coming for the Supra. Since it's all stock , its not that strong. A first mod would be a single turbo conversion and after that maybe new cams and stuff of that nature. We'll see. -✔   -✔ So , after we arrived , the first thing we did was to take the 180 off the trailer. Big props to the guys who towed the car all the way here. I gave them 600V$ for a job and a couple of beers , they deserved it ! Anyway , I don't know what my plans with the 180 are right now. I've bought it to use it as a Ebisu drift car , and since it's in quite good condition and runs like a champ , I may end up selling it or something. I really don't know what to use it for because now Ebisu is farther away and I don't know if there are any drifting tracks around or near Osaka. Or... maybe I'll do some heavy mods to it and make it like the track 180 that Mackay and his team built , too bad they sold that thing in Russia. I would've loved to see it in person ! The aero pieces on that thing were absolutely nuts ! It also had an SR22 making around 800 hp if I'm not mistaken. Oh well , lets just hope that the R33 and/or Supra will reach these huge numbers. -✔  -✔ So long story short , I was kinda bored yesterday afternoon and I decided to take the R33 for a little bit of hoonage around the shop. I gotta say , it slides kinda good , but the suspension is really old and the car has quite some body roll. So , maybe I'll do the same thing that I did to the Supra and maybe get some TEIN coilovers for it and maybe some better sway bars. I already decided what I want to do with this thing and I have really big hopes for this build. It'll be like Lagano's R32 , but rear wheel drive. Y'all know that thing pushes over 1000 hp , so if it's gonna reach those numbers , I'll need some real wide rims and tyres to put all that power down. I wonder what's the max legal tyre size over here in Japan , cuz it's gonna be pretty much a street legal drag car. Anyway , there's quite a long way until the car will get there so stay stoked ! It's gonna be quite a long build ! -✔   -✔ As for the Supra , it's currently at the shop , inside of course , doing the thing she does the best - lookin' good. I still think the Supra isn't a showcar yet , but just you guys wait , she's gonna get there ! I'll start ordering new aero pieces for her soon , as soon as I find a little apartment to rent for myself. And maybe a garage. I don't want to be disrespectful towards the guys at the shop because I know how much of a pain in the ass it is to have other's people stuff laying around and having to work around them. Also , I'm not a very "messy" person either so I like everything to be clean and well sorted out in the place where I live/work and let me tell you guys something. Mackay's shop is so clean ! I absolutely love it ! You can find anything you need in one place and you don't have to search for anything ! It's pretty much a dream garage for me , and I work there ! Man , I'm so glad that I moved to Osaka. Things are getting better and better as time progresses ! -✔  -✔ Also , I would like to give Mackay and his wife a massive thank you for letting me stay at their place until I manage to find myself a place to live. I know how strange it is to have guests over for a couple of days and I must say , I feel weird "making myself at home" in someone else's house. For some reason I just feel awkward going into the kitchen and opening their fridge like no one's bussiness. I'll try to find myself an apartment to rent as soon as possible and once again , thank you guys for giving me a roof over my head for a couple of days !  -✔ Anyway , that's all for now. Somehow this whole moving thing reminded me of when I first came in Japan and settled down. I have to admit , I love Japan more than I love the USA. Everything is just on a whole another level over here , the people are very nice and overall , I'd say the car scene is better than anywhere in the world. There's just so much variety when it comes to cars here , like shakotan cars , bosozuku cars , everything you can imagine. I just love this place to bits ! Anyways , Godspeed homies !✔- This post was edited by ErwinFenyvesi23 (2018-07-16 15:01, ago) |
