^ Thanks man! :D

2 days ago we finished Phonexius's R34, it kept us busy for the whole last week but when you look at this beauty completed, you know it was all worth it. After days of hard work i couldn't wait to take it for a spin, especially because the R34 was always one of my dream cars, like for most of us here, probably. Well i used to have a R32 but it didn't have the mighty RB26 or the fame the 34 has. The day after assembling it i didn't even have to ask Phonexius to go for a drive, he just tossed me the keys but i kinda saw that coming. :D I had a blast, with 450HP it's really fun to drive and at the same time it's still easy to control and drive on the streets. And it's a pretty impressive amount of power for a stock engine!


After assembling the R34 it was time for Skip's 180SX. Today we finished the respray and assembled some parts so we can bring it back to our garage. Skip chose a rather interesting colour and a nice matching livery, it really reminds me of 2000's drift cars in Japan. As we told you it got a new set of rims too, SSR Vienna Courage in the front and Work VS-KF in the rear, both 18x10" with Dunlop Direzzas.


The sparkles looked so nice when we took the 180 out of the paint shop! It's only a few blocks away so we just pushed it to the garage, the interior and engine still have to be installed.


While we were building the R34 i found a proper drag seat for the SC300. It's not the most comfortable seat but it's very lightweight, and that's what matters in drag racing. Also, as you've heard from Phonexius, Megure-san visited our garage to tune his R34's engine so he had some time to fiddle around with the 2JZ as well. It was already well tuned but he somehow managed to get some more power from it! After we dynoed it we did some adjustments to the suspension, so now it's ready for that drag race with Phonexius and Crazy 88 which was promised long ago.


In other news, we bought a 240SX, but it's a bit different than the ones you usually see here. You'll find out more about it in the next update. :)
