-✘ Today started kinda early.. At around 8 AM I got call from Shao.. He is the one I ordered "parts" from. He said he is already waiting at my garage as he got my delivery. Alright I guess, I went straight to garage and skipped todays classes, whatever it is friday you know hah. So when I came to my garage, I couldn't wait to take a look at what I got. Also about him, he works at junkyard and at UpGarage, also is good at fabricating things, so he is always around good parts and stuff, so if you guys need anything from here, I could try to make things happen for you, so keep it in mind.

-✘ Also he has a VW van, those things look so nice to me. I would daily those things without problems haha.


-✘ Unboxed my delivery.



-✘ Yeah.. I got a custom made Hydraulic Handbrake with Willwood 0.625 master cylinder. Altezza had a LSD, so I tought why not.. I noticed that the first time I drove her, but I kept it quiet. It was custom made by Shao, as he also does CNC machine work on the side. Also got some brake lines and other bits to do the job.. Oh, and Shao helped me to install it too ! Sometimes everything is easier with some help. So few hours later, we installed the brake and made it fully functional.



-✘ After we finished with the handbrake I also changed my rear rims to the old steelies, because I didn't want to mess my new tires you know.



-✘ I couldn't wait to try it out, but sadly I had to wait till evening because Oscar was busy all day and I didn't wanted to go alone. So when it got a little darker, we left the garage and went to "empty" mountain roads outside Osaka. Despite the fact that this car is automatic, I managed to get it sideways pretty easily too, but of course it is near as good as manual but I am still satisfied with results ! The handbrake locks both wheels perfectly. Here is some photos from our "trip". As always.. we got some photos too. Take a look at that awesome rolling shot and some "maad" skids.







-✘ Oh, and I also took a spin in Oscars EK9, it handles really good trough those sharp corners and windy roads. I liked it a lot.



-✘ So after some hooning in touge we decided to go back home without crazy driving and stuff. Of course that didn't go as planned, it never does. So turn after turn, we were already going full throttle.. The never ending friendly rivalry haha.



-✘ So yeah, that was kinda fun and I'm looking forward to doing this again, but maybe not with Altezza, also larger group of us would be nice too. Also some news about other things. I did something.. Last night I opened car auctions and did some bids on few cars.. So that means if I will win them, I will get new thing to work on, or maybe not.. We will see in upcoming days how it will turn out.
