NEW CONTENDER-✘ Well.. Time for a little update I guess ? As you noticed I was gone for almost two weeks, so you already know what to expect, as usual I was very busy working and doing "things" in Tokyo with Russians again, but that's for later.. So let's begin. ✘-
-✘ First things first right ? Lets talk about the things we were doing in the shop. As you can see we were working on two Subaru BRZ's this time, as usual only roll cage work. Yes, if you are wondering those two cars are owned by one guy who is starting his racing team just for a hobby.. So without rushing things we did both cages in 8 days and yes, we spent our weekend working on those cars too. I won't get into detail about those cars, the picture will do the talking, business as usual. ✘-
 -✘ As things going on in the shop is clear, lets talk about my personal things. As I said I was in Tokyo last weekend once again (October 06-08), basically went there to relax with my wife, but as you know me I ended up in my Russian friends workshop.. Got to see their new cars, ongoing projects and things like that, discussed about future plans. But business things aside two other things happened, one of them is that I sold my Cressida and it is already on the way back to Russia.. Yes, Russians sourced possible buyer for my car back in their motherland so they bought it from me and sent her there, they did that because prices of X30's are on the rise there now, ranging from 10k to 13k for "stock" or "modified" ones, and considering specs and condition of mine it was no brainer to let a deal like that slip. They picked her up from my shop on Tuesday (October 10) I sold it for 21'grand.. It is good deal for both of us, as they will make a profit back there and I got rid of useless car.. Basically I enjoyed building that car more than driving it.. Don't get me wrong, I love X30's, but I just needed to get rid of it, it was more a learning build than something I would like to keep, I just wanted to build a drift car for my own pleasure, but as time passed I found myself very disinterested in drifting scene, and I don't enjoy it anymore. It doesn't mean that I will stop drifting, I just won't focus on such things. ✘-
 -✘ Little throwback to first touge run we did with Oscar.. This car will remind me of many things, it was one hell of a ride working on it. My X30 won't be forgotten and it is definitely not the last time you hear about it. Will see ya again soon. #sadmoment✘-
 -✘ I guess it is time to talk about main thing of this post, right ? I didn't came back from Tokyo empty handed too.. As I was at Russians shop, I mentioned that I will be looking for either EVO 8/9 or BNR32 anytime soon, and it turns out they kinda had two BNR32's at their disposal.. One being theirs which was shipped from Russia and other being owned by Japanese racing mechanic that they know.. So I got to see them both. I was choosing between two beasts, both had advantages and disadvantages. Basically both were fully built from ground up, the main differences is that one is perfectly maintained, single turboed pushing around 800HP and other one being restored and in immaculate condition, twin turboed pushing 670HP, also the price was almost the same. Because I liked them both it was very hard decision choosing one, so after considering for a bit, I went with the more original, single turboed one.. Another 26'grand down the drain, yes ? haha. We will see, as I am sure I would get more than 40'grand if I parted it out, but sorry folks, that ain't happening anytime soon. First picture that was taken of my new car the minute I left their shop. ✘-
 -✘ Back in godzilla's new home. I am not going to talk about it much, I will drop spec list below, but because you are wondering I will answer few questions that does not give you peace of mind.. Yes it is fast, crazy fast. Yes, it can reach speeds such as 300KM/H. Yes, it will be a race car. Yes, it can beat your car without much effort. The specs will do rest of the talking.. ✘-
 -✘ I am very happy about my new purchase, kinda testing new waters with this one haha, but I am confident it will turn out great as I have big plans for this car, it is very far from its final form that I already have in mind, this R32 hands down the best car I owned, I will be keeping her for sure.. My babies in the garage, beauty and beast. ✘-
 -✘ So yeah, that was it for this update, I might be more active this weekend as I want to work on my own cars, the 240Z haven't been touched in almost a month and it is staying outside garage under the cover, I also want to spend some time working on the R32.. So we will see. I am also thinking of doing an UP-GARAGE haul anytime soon, so if you need anything contact me and I will find any parts you need. I will be renting big van for all those parts that we are going to buy so don't worry, we will have enough space for everything. So yep, keep an eye open for updates. Peace. ✘-
