^ Thanks, they will be even cooler haha :D

It's been a while since the last update cause we were quite busy, we also did some more test runs with the SC300.
The Champion Speed Series wheels that we got in the previous update are finally on the Lexus! Around a week later i also got a set of Hoosier drag slicks, 4.5 inch for the front and 11 inch for the rear. Right after the rims arrived i called Benjamin and asked if they have any drag tires in the shop. Well they don't have any for now, but he said "no problem mate you'll get your tires" and ordered one set for me.

The new rims make the SC300 look like a proper drag car, they're also way lighter! You can see that it has new brakes too. I ordered a StopTech 355mm big brake kit for the rear cause a drag car has to stop as quickly as it accelerates, especially on the streets! Now we're broke because of this but it's still better than running out of road. :P

Here's my entry in that drag competition i told you about a while ago, the Street Outlaws Motor Mayhem. I posted it on the 20th April, i didn't have the new wheels and tires installed then but it's allowed to make changes or to edit your entry. In this competition participants uploaded a short video of their drag car, so we went to the local drag strip to make one. The winner will be the competitor with the most votes for his entry, and will be announced on the 8th May, that's in 2 days so support us and vote while you can!! :) (i should've explained this to you much earlier but we were busy as i said)

After we changed the SC300's shoes i made a small change on the MX5. Those straight pipes were sticking out too much (but 3Style and Skip would be fine with that lol) and they were way too low so i bent them and joined the tips, but then the pipes were too high so i had to cut a piece of the rear bumper. I know i kinda copied @GoverNick but i just had to do it, i love how it looks now! :P

Fortunately we're not completely broke (yet) cause we got some money from parts that were laying around, we posted them on eBay a long time ago and everything got sold eventually. We got V$400 for the Mustang V6 auto transmission and torque converter, V$350 for SOHC cylinder heads with cams, valves and exhaust headers, V$550 for SC300 interior parts. (seats, dash console, carpets and mouldings)

We still have a complete 180SX interior so let us know if you need it! :)
