As im looking for members, i started out small, in japan. Look for Team BlueLightning for my background.
I planing on making the ultimate touge machine, something that makes driving on the touge look lika a walk in the park. Its either the, Toyota Corolla TE71, S15 or S2000, it will probaly be the S2K because its cheap and there is lot of parts avaible. (2 days later) I found this S2000 that is really fresh and runs very well. It registered. The stock supension is a bit too stiff though as doesnt take bumps that well. I will definitely buy this S2K, the car has great potential and a fairly powerfull engine. The guy wanted 15000V$, reasonable price. I bought it ofcourse.

Plans have changed, the guy bought the S2000 back and i got my money back. I went out to look for another car!
And i have bought this RX3 for SOME reason... The RX3 i bought has a 217BHP 13B rotary engine and Quaife differential, expensive huh? The car also had a full suspension swap for handling purposes as the outdated suspension the RX3 had was just shitty. I have gone full Sleepish racecar guy and this thing will be mean on the touge! Here is how RX3 looks like (Tested the car too ) : |

Long time no see right? The RX3 is loooooong gone and ive been racing in another team, The Akagi Drift Force, wich is more or less famous. The Akagi drifters are very different compared to the Osaka drifters, The Osaka drifters have everything from 300HP beasts to Suzuki Cappuccinos, the Akagi drifters remind me of proffesionals, they have fine-tuned drift machines that will kill you i you do a mistake, but theres also kids who just kome to the Akagi pass to have fun, not implying that all drifters are kids or professionals.
Oh well, lets move on to my newest car, that i will buy very soon, actually, im on my way to pick the car up. I know that you want some info right? The car is sadly crashed but its an easy fix, the car is a sexy Baby blue sports/drift machine. With a scar. With neons cuz why not? Ready for the reveal? Here it is i guess? BTW: Specs in pic. CUZ NEONS B!TCH!!! |

Yeah, theyre pretty pricey. Ill just remove the broken parts and get the car running. And yes, bought the car because of those exhaust pipes :P.
(3 Hours later) Holy shit it actually started up, all it needed was some fuel a new battery. I took it for a test drive and i say that its super f*cking loud and needs new tires because theyre bald. No but seriously, i see why this car is crashed, It will kill me if i make a mistake and im taking this to the touge... (2 Days Later) I managed to find some NSX bumpers for cheap ~500V$. And converted the engine back to NA because its much more controllable and faster. Fitted new tires ~500V$. I took it for a test drive and now its more friendly and it doesnt want to kill you I heard that i got featured somewhere in a new car magazine, ill check whats up. (10 Mins later) Yup, called the company and they confirm that its me in the car mag, they called me the Resurrected Reaper for a reason. I did some research and detective work and it truns out that this car has killed many drivers in speeds of 300KMH, i just tamed the reaper i think? (Sorry for shitty edit) |

Interesting story from the magazine, hope you don't get in any kind of trouble. NA is more controllable, that's for sure, but how can it be faster?

# Lagano : Interesting story from the magazine, hope you don't get in any kind of trouble. NA is more controllable, that's for sure, but how can it be faster? No need for turbos to spool. So you get instant power. May need to get the fuel mixture just right, but alot of track cars are NA for a reason. |

Yes, the car is more controllable if it's NA. A turbo increases power, but it needs some time. If you want instant power, NA is the way to go

UpdateHoly shit it has been long, time for an update since life has been busy. So ive been busy working full time and i have one sad thing to say. I raced someone on the Akagi touge/pass and something terrible happened to the NSX. I crashed it. Turns out that the front left suspesion assembly completely broke down on me in the middle of a race, causing me to to lose control and total the car. I went through the guard-rail, rolled through the tiny bit of forest and crashlanding on the road below, good thing that i installed a rollcage. It turns out that i didnt tame the "reaper". But i am fine, i just have some cuts, sore spots and a headache. I scrapped the car, making sure that i didnt sell it and cause another accident in the future, i go with my friend to work now, he has an fairly nice car, an old and slow (stock) Toyota Celica Supra from the 80's. |

Alright guys, this is going to make my mate at the petrol station jealous.
I bought this super nice Corolla (KE30) from 1977. Its clean and has been someones darling in the past. It has the most powerful engine variant of the model, the 3K-B, with Twin Carbs, which should only run on high octane and im lucky that i get a discount when im filling up my tank at my job. (High octane is very pricey) Its actually pretty quick for its age, it has only been driven at summer, its has 329657km's. Thats alot. Here it is in the petrol stations shop: (The petrol station looks a lot like the one in Initial D, which i find interesting) |

'Rolla UpdateI was searching the internet for KE30 Aftermarket parts and i found sommething super cool. A 2-Way LSD. For such an old car! This means that i dont have to weld this open diff and ruin it completely. + Mad SKIDS! I bought it ofcourse, just a superlong trip to Shinamoto to pick it up. (Some hours later) Alright, i have installed the differential and the car feels so different, now i just need some coilovers. I went out to the osaka touge and met up with some people, they were stunned about seeing an really old car perform so well. They all drove 90's cars like the S13, Supra, C31 Laurel and so on. But the car sounds like an vacuum cleaner, so i need to figure something out. |

I have waited long enough...Alright, the 'Rolla have served me really well as a daily, and im going to keep it a daily. But i have no real project, i have saved up some money and i think its time for a reveal of my new car. BTW, monster truck alert. ITS AN HACHI-ROKU!!!!! The person that owned this had this as an daily, it has 321146 kilometers on the wheels. The 4A-G is still going strong though. Also, 15 Meshies with huge profile tires = Monster Truck spec. I bought this beutiful Corolla because i fell in love with it when i scrolled down the auction site car list. Its interior is really clean, but the front seats are a bit stained with human slime. (Someone had a pleasant night) Otherwise, its just an old, stock and stinky Corolla. But i have some plans for it. (Also, Independent Rear Suspension!)

I have received some stuff for the 86, And oh boy, I am happy! I opened up the one of the packages i got delivered to my home, And it was the low profile tires. Next up were the coilovers. I bought a full set of Skunk 2 Pro C coilovers, theyre really nice.
Then i went to work with the 86, With the new parts and tires. The guys over there were hella stoked. We finished our work and started working on my car. (I work 8 hours a day, its good that i have a nice salary) This is how the car looks now: It turns out that my car was involved in a severe frontal crash, this will be a problem if i want to swith the front to the Trueno front. Thats probably why the bumpers are kind of mis-aligned. (Cant see it on photos though.) |

Aaaalrightyy then, i tore apart the front of the car an it is not looking good under there, its basicly a missile from ebisu that got a nice paint job.
The frame under there is complete shit, the previous owner had "fixed" the damage, this probably explais the wierd bumper mis-alignments. My friend over at the gas station bought it, his son had just got his drivers license and needed a car that he could learn and work on. I told him to fix the front frame first before they take it out on the streets, its too dangerous. Im now looking for a car again, hopefully ill find one over at the VStanced.com online auction site. |
