"LOOK ALIVE" -✘ Kinda short update on what is happening at the moment. Well, at the moment I am in Tokyo since Wednesday, sourcing some parts, visiting old friends, having a track day in Tsukuba and doing cool things as usual. Because I am here I couldn't do some things, so my guys from the shop did some stuff without me. First things first, they installed a full rollcage for ZERO. He came on Monday and they finished his cage yesterday ( on friday ), business as usual, cage installed in three days. Picture was sent by one of my guys, great job, Zero will be safe for sure. ✘-
 -✘ Ah.. Most of you were really wondering what kind of car I bought, yeah it is some kind of GT-R, that's it.. Will reveal it on Monday probably, after Tokyo shenanigans.
 ✘- -✘ Another cool thing that happened while I was away is that I traded my RX7 for a built 1997 S14, while scrolling on advertisement I saw that "Mr.Stance" offered me such deal, so after hesitating for a while and thinking I decided to go for it, called Shao and arranged someone to tow my RX7 all the way to Sendai, to handle the RX7 to new owner and bring back the S14, and yeah, before you ask I kept my Advan TC3 wheels. Some things about new car - It sits on modified Skunk2 coilovers, no idea why previous owner installed Honda coilovers, but whatever, I will be replacing them soon, also custom front control arms, S15 Spec-R brakes, welded differential, I believe that's it for suspension, will check everything myself when I return to Osaka. D-Max body kit all around, bucket seats inside, Nardi steering wheel and other cool bits to go with such setup. ✘-
 -✘ But the best thing is under the hood. The engine is swapped to "mildly" built 450HP 2JZ-GTE Non VVTI with R154 transmission, which is perfect engine in my opinion, perfect base for high horsepower. Also it has pretty good parts installed around and in it, HKS cams, HKS bov, Exedy clutch, Greddy single turbo kit with T78-33D turbo on it which is good up to 700HP, Greddy oil and transmission cooler, Greddy exhaust system with Top Secret muffler on it, and last but not least Mishimoto cooling system. I already have some plans in my mind for this car, it will get repainted very soon, I will also change those Honda coilovers to something else and will tune the engine to have solid 500HP, so we will see what we can come up with for this car, it will be interesting. ✘-
 -✘ New place is coming along nicely, only our Time-Attack S13 is missing right now, but don't worry, we are still working on it. We thought that we won't have enough space for all of our cars here, but really it is much better than previous one, a lot better layout and stuff. Few more cars should be coming soon? Ahh, we can easily fit like eight cars here, new place was worth it. ✘-
 -✘ Today I spent the whole day at Tsukuba Circuit, had an amazing track day here, will upload some footage from the day, I am sure you will enjoy it. Also because I will be going back to Osaka tomorrow, on the way home I will visit Suzuka circuit if everything goes as planned, and will probably meet with AJ "RocketBunnyS13", might even do some track time here. So yeah, can't wait. ✘-
 -✘ So I guess that's it, keep an eye open for next update, a lot of awesome things coming soon. Peace.✘-
