# BigSmoke : The M5 V10 was an ultra heavy boi to lift up but boi we did it! Here's for the next steps of the G35 build

Also quite honoured to be able to work on the Supra and more importantly, drive your Lambo. It's a full-on joy and miracle to drive

AND THE R34 COMES HOME!

Yeah the V10 looks just epic in there! Thanks for helping to stuff it in haha, it would take forever without you boys! I kinda missed that R34 too, despite the 32 and 33 still being here lol.

# ramalhinho07 : Yo, those are some amazing rides my dudes! I need to come thru sometime soon

Woah that would be awesome! I appreciate that

All hands on deck

Despite being overloaded with project cars the boys are really enjoying their time here! We're all working particularly on the SEMA build and the progress really shows that. The S85 in it is already running, it just needs an exhaust system to achieve that F1 sound the E60 M5 has, but we'll sort that out after it gets a bodykit.


Speaking about exhaust, the Chevelle got these custom longtube headers. Yeah, that means the LS2 is all motor now, even if i really enjoyed the insanely powerful twin turbo setup it just wasn't that reliable and the car was hard to tame. I guess i'll go for a cruiser/show car way from now on, it's a pretty rare car to throw around like i did too! Though the fact that i liked exactly that was really entertaining for the most part of driving it. After i threw on the air filter left over from the turbos the LS looked ready to go but i doubt everything is alright in there, the turbos are done for but something else might've got damaged in the process. I'll have to give it a proper check-up or maybe even rebuild the whole thing, we'll see.


I also tried different wheels on it! I got these HREs in Japan last year, they were quite pricey but a great deal nonetheless. I know i would use them on some build eventually, the Scaras looked really good on the Chevelle too but those have gone through some drifts, even if they were not intended for that purpose at all. Like i said earlier, the Chevelle has more of a cruiser vibe now so these wheels are less aggressive looking and really fit the said vibe.


It should be great to cruise together with Benny's Supra, they might even have a similar power output. I don't usually like modernizing old cars but these taillights are a really cool mod! Especially when you look at the Aventador next to it...


Who would've thought that a design feature from a 2010's Lamborghini fits on a 90's Toyota? And to be honest, i often ask myself the same for how this Lambo ended up here!!


Moving on to another Ben's ride, this R34 has recently returned from Parker. He did a few changes while he was in Florida but then returned it to the state he got it in. Now we applied a small but quite striking detail on it, we got a piece of masking tape and made those red accents on the carbon lips all around the car. Benny was probably inspired by the new GTR Nismo but it works just as well on this one, despite the blue paintjob.


As they always say, the devil is in the details.


I don't think it's ever been in here together with the R32! It's a very interesting sight, mostly because mine is a stripped down track monster while Benny's R34 is a moderately powerful street car. Not a totally real R34 GTR but very close to one, it has the same twin turbo setup, interior and pretty much everything apart from all wheel drive which the R32 has, thankfully.


The LHD conversion is so well done too, looks so good with the color matched interior!


Looking to the right there's a similarly colored Honda that we've also worked on a lot in the last few days. The body is all fixed up, now it's time for the suspension. The rear right took a huge hit so we'll probably have to replace the whole assembly, hopefully it won't be too much of a pain to rebuild.


There's no rush for this one though, our priority for now is the SEMA build, i'm very grateful to Big Smoke, Soju and Franklin for helping us out.


The next day Franklin asked me to go for a little trip with the F150, and i knew exactly what he's thinking. Ah shit, here we go again. So we hooked the trailer on and headed out. This giant is quite new to me so this was a good time to get used to it. The sheer size is one thing, not to mention an extra car length behind me! It took me a while to line up the trailer when parking haha.


This ended up driving around almost all day, you'll see why in his thread.
