A dream come true...
 -✔ Alright guys , so , today's update will be kinda short , because mainly nothing really happened from yesterday to now , except a few things. Let's just keep the best for last , shall we ? So , Because of all the daily driving and overall using the Supra , today I decided to give it a nice little wash , because there's nothing I hate more than my cars being filthy. Take care of your cars guys , there's a saying that goes like this : "If you take care of your car , your car will take care of you". Also , don't forget to take care of yourselves , it's hot out there so make sure you stay well hydrated! ✔-
  -✔ Ahh , there's nothing better than a clean car right ? I think so ! Also , I must thank Mackay for giving me some of the cleaning products he uses. That man knows what to use when it comes to cleaning cars. The paint is much more intense and nice now , it's just perfect ! Fun fact , before painting the Supra in Baltic Blue , I wanted to paint it white , but then I realised that there's way too many Supras painted in white , though , white really suits the Supra body , that's for sure ! And I thought to myself "Hmm , let's just paint this thing the opposite color of the shade of red it is" , if you guys remember , the Supra was red when I first got it and the paint was overall really damaged from all the dust and weather it has been through. Anyways , I love Baltic Blue , but who knows ? Maybe I'll change it in the future , it all depends on what the final car is gonna look like. ✔-  -✔ Oh yes , brand new seats. What do you guys think ? I'd say they look amazing with the shade of blue the material has. It matches the paint , right ? Well , heck yeah it does. These seats are Bride Brix I , and I've bought them from the local UpGarage. Since the Supra is my daily car , I needed something better , more comfortable , and more secure than the stock seats. I picked them up for 600V$ and I must say , they look just great. Though , I'll hold on to my stock Supra seats for now , because who knows , maybe I'll switch back to them , but I don't see myself doing that any time soon. The second option would be to sell them , because man , these seats go for a lot of money , and I mean quite a lot. Over 1000 V$ a piece if I'm not mistaken. But since they're really clean and in very good condition , I'll hold on to them for now. ✔-  -✔ I've also gave the engine bay a little bit of cleaning. It's just great lookin' yet OEM as all hell tbh. I can't wait for the day when I'll take the twins out and replace them with a big single boosty boi. As a temporary upgrade I could maybe try to replace the airboxes with a aftermarket air filter , though I don't think it would be worth the money , since I'll switch to the big single pretty soon. I haven't ordered the things I need to go single turbo because the R33 needs to get built up and worked on , and I bet y'all know that when it comes to overhauling a car costs a ton of money , so I gotta be careful how I spend my cash...✔-     -✔ Talking about the R33 , today I managed to get the engine out with the help of my friends during the lunch break. Big thanks to them ! Now that the RB is out , I gotta take it apart down to the block and replace/repair/clean the parts. I may go for some aftermarket bits here and there , maybe replace the whole rotating assembly with Apexi stuff , like the crankshaft , rods and pistons. As for the head , I think I'll just hang on to the stock cylinder head but maybe get it ported. Y'know , the more stuff that comes in and gets out the better. Along with that , I think I'll have to get some new cams and some bigger injectors , but I haven't decided which ones to pick yet. I hope this engine will crank out at least 600 hp by the time we get it running and all of that. Anyway , I'll just go with the most budget-effective parts I can find and hope for good reliability when the car is finished.  ✔-   -✔ And here is the big surprise ! All of you probably already know this car , it's Mackays ER34 , right ? Well , not anymore. I ended up buying it after he made an offer of 7000V$ , and it was something that I just couldn't refuse ! I said yes straight away and I started working on it. Pretty much all I had to do was to replace the GT-R brakes with the OEM ones because Mackay needed them , and I also had to take the Work S1s off , because I just couldn't take them away from Mackay. I know how much he loves his Work wheels so I've jacked the car up , and left to get some new wheels. The ones you're seeing right now are my new Advan TC IIs that are on there. I've picked them up from a friend of Mackays friend who was willing to get rid of them. He used these as drift wheels so the price was very good on them too. 700V$ to be exact , and the good thing is that the guy who sold me these wheels bought new tyres and put them on the rims before I bought them , so , I got some new rims wrapped around some fresh tyres for my brand new car. Isn't this just amaizing ? I gotta thank Mackay for making the offer ! I'm so glad I finally managed to get an R34. Now , the next piece of the puzzle would be an R34 GT-R. That would be just perfect. Maybe I'll get one in the future , after the R33 is done. There's a long way to get there though , but hey , I'm getting closer and closer to owning all my dream cars ! ✔-   -✔ It's just crazy to think that some weeks ago , me , Radcoon and Mackay took this thing drifting , and the craziest thing about this car is the fact that me and Radcoon sat in the back of this thing ! It has bucket seats in the rear instead of the back seat and that's probably my favorite feature of this car !!! Well , since there are some mods done to this thing , I'll give you guys the full list: ✔-  -✔ Anyway , that's all for this update guys , I hope you guys are stoked about the R33 project finally starting , because I am , but I must admit , I'm really happy that I bought the ER from Mackay. I finally have an R34 and it's damn well built I'll tell you that ! Even though it's still naturally aspirated , it's so damn fun to drive ! This is the drift car I always wanted ! Now , I think the ER will have to get painted soon , so expect some more details on that in the future. I'll see ya guys around ! Godspeed homies ! ✔- This post was edited by ErwinFenyvesi23 (2018-07-17 21:33, ago) |
