-✘ So yeah guys, yesterday at night we went to Wakayama to see this "clean" white 97' EK9 Type-R for Oscar (Terroras).. We weren't very sure about that car, but when we test drove it and took a closer look at things we decided to buy it as it seemed very well maintained, we were surprised because we didn't expected that from civic, so now Oscar has a car too which is pretty awesome because now we will be able to do many more things. Will post some photos later on.

-✘ So on the way home I decided to test my Altezza's top speed.. I know that this wasn't the cleverest thing to do, but I don't need no lectures about how dangerous that is,especially on public expressway,I know what I am doing. So anyways, as it was middle of the night, and almost no cars infront, I floored the gas pedal quickly acclerating, of course Oscar didn't stood waiting so he did the same. As he was driving in front of me, I overtaken him while he was going at 180 km/h and at that moment my car topped out at 230 km/h.. Oscars passenger managed to take a picture of me passing, so here it is.



-✘ So yeah after spending more than four hours driving back and forth for that Civic we came back to our place. Here is his EK9 sitting in our garage. Amazing little machine I must say, but yeah B16 engine and all, I believe that he will tell you more about it than me tho.



-✘ So today I did some things too, after luch went to garage and fixed that loose front bumper, the problem was that, that in some places the screws that were supposed to hold it were not there, so that was an easy fix, managed to "fix" it in few minutes.



The front of the car instantly looked better and cleaner.



-✘ Also my number plates came in, so no more temporary plates.



-✘ Without waiting any longer I put my plates on and went for a drive.. Which eventually led me to one of the UpGarage shops.. So after thirty minutes I was in Kadoma.. Not gonna lie, I was browsing their website before.. So yeah, I came here, and bought few things.. Waiting for guys to sort my purchased things out and bring them from storage garage. Will bring the goods with my own car, as there is enough space *hint* *hint*




-✘ Mhm.. I believe you guys knew that I was about to get some wheels.. And I did. Here they are, sitting in a corner. I couldn't wait and decided to put them on. I know someone will like it, someone will hate it, and other will be scratching their head thinking "the fuk". So without waiting more, I jacked the car up, and within thirty minutes I got all wheels replaced.







-✘ Yep, your eyes don't lie. I bought Mercedes W221 wheels + spacers from 5x114 to 5x112 and fitted used but almost as good as new Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tires. Everything I bought was from UpGarage, so I will surely come back. You might think, Mercedes wheels on a Japanese car in Japan, WHAT. I don't know, I just liked them I guess, also it was a good deal and Altezza needed new tires, so I bought both things at once. As you can see the wheels are not the prettiest ones now, they lost all their shine because they were stored for long time, also a lot of brake dust and shit on it, so I will be polishing them in upcoming days, after that it will give them completely different look. Also I will be keeping the stellies for future. I paid 610V$ for everything, including rims,tires and spacers, also the guys mounted up tires for me there.

-✘ Here she is, stading outside.



-✘ Might do some work on her tomorrow too. So stay in touch for updates.
