# Soju : R32 really looks good Thanks Soju ! SHOPPING TIME-✘ Well, here is an update for you guys.. Nothing much happened in those three days, I went to Tokyo to get "some" things from UpGarage and Russian's workshop and spent the rest of the weekend working on my cars in the garage. I bought a lot of things in Tokyo both for GT86 and my GTR, but I will talk about those things down below. Yes, as I said I rented a Mercedes Sprinter van for this thing, so we had enough space for everything, also as always Oscar was going with me. Here is the van I rented. ✘-
 -✘ First lets talk about the GT86 as it was "upgraded" too, nothing crazy as my wife is the one driving it , but in my opinion it definitely looks a lot better than stock. It was lowered a bit, the wheels were changed and also new muffler was put on. Now the 86'is sitting on TEIN S TECH Springs which lowered it a bit and Enkei RPF-1 R17 wheels dressed in PIRELLI ZERO NERO ALL SEASON Tires, I choose those tires as the weather is getting colder day by day now, also the winter is coming, so such tires is a must. ✘-
 -✘ The exhaust was replaced by HKS LEGAMAX, now the rear looks a lot meaner and sounds a lot better ! ✘-
 -✘ I did some things to GTR too. ✘-
 -✘ As most of you now know that I will be going for "maximum" with this R32, so I did some things accordingly for such purposes. I stripped most of the interior out, only the dashboard and half carpet is still in place as for now I want it to be as street-able as possible. Also new drivers seat and steering wheel was installed. As always I went with my all time favorite seat BRIDE ZETA III, only this time I got black one, I didn't forgot harness too and I bought FIA-Approved HPI 4-Point seat belts in awesome digital camo color, expensive but worth it. Also this time I went with more "racing" type steering wheel and got myself leather MOMO CORSA wheel, I like the way it looks and feels in hand. ✘-
   -✘ I also bought a rear wing for it too and adjusted it accordingly, so now I will have fair amount of downforce while going fast, also keep in mind that spoiler won't be everything, this car will have a lot more aero upgrades later on. It is SARD GT Carbon wing with custom longer legs. ✘-
 -✘ And now lets talk about the thing that I am most excited about. The standard differential was replaced by NISMO GT-LSD, and because of that the final drive changed from 4.111 to 3.692, so theoretically in my calculations the top speed increased from 297KM/H to 320KM/H, also the gears are longer now. ✘-
 -✘ The wheels on GTR were also changed. I bought NISMO GT LM1 R18 wheels and dressed them in TOYO PROXES R888. Form and fuction at its finest. Also it was lowered a bit too, basically new suspension setup for new wheels. Shinigami GTR, anyone ? Also don't ask why number plates were changed, you will see. ✘-
 -✘ Thats "kinda" it for this weekend guys, as I am writing this while waiting for Oscar and Shao in the parking lot near Kansai Kuko Expressway, I think I don't need to explain what kind of things is about to happen in upcoming hour or so.. The only thing I will say is that I will have almost 10 kilometers of straight road and Oscar with Shao will be my spotter vehicles making sure everything will go according to the plan. ✘-
 -✘ So yeah guys, if everything goes according to the plan and nothing bad happens I will update you all tomorrow. Keep an eye open for update, peace. ✘-
