# MACKAY : Oh yeah man, that was one hell of a ride, especially those downshifts at the tunnels, it was such an amazing sight seeing three white GTR's cruising, I am sure a lot of people took photos of us haha. We will be doing that shit again sometime later. :thumbsup:
i guess so! haha, I hope that one speed trap didn't! :D Anytime again!

# StratoWolf : Perfection.
B) close to it ;)

# radcoon : This is sexy! even for a toyota guy like me!
Nice built guys!
Oh you meant the Skylines! Yeah they're as sexy as the guys driving them, right MACKAY?!
Thx buddy!

# melt : A Car-nerds dream!
Thx man!

That should be it for the quotes. let's talk dori dori.

Ebisu Drift Heaven!


Let me begin with the day before. While I was out with the boys playing, the SX180 got back to the shop. Meanwhile a really friendly guy went over to skip and grabbed the cage. It is golden week in Japan so basically nobody wants to work ;).
After I got back I straight started working on the SX.

I changed the coilovers to a set of new Tein's from our stock. The suspension itself is adjustable (no idea what brand). Thx at this point a big THANK YOU to all the guys from MACKAy's garage, not even they did a great job with the tubed frontend, they also cleaned the under chassis. :-X Saved me a hell-a-lot of time!
After I merged in the Cage I threw in the Seat's that we took from the S14. Then.... coffee (cigarette) break.
Then me and a bag of screws and zippties managed to attach that body parts. Except the Origin bumper this stuff came from the close Scrapyard.

After even more coffee I threw my stuff in the car and took off to Ebisu.....



I arrived around 11am. Got my pass for two days and found a nice spot in the pits. Than... I took a 3 hour nap. I was done! 8 hours with one working headlight and a shaky seat are no fun at all. Oh yeah, I missed Wednesdays G1GP. I arrived Thursday.

I spend my Thursday at Minami (after fixing that seat).

I know that track quite well so it was easier to set-up the car. And most of the time I spend chatting and fooling around with the guys over there. Also noticed that Soarer I know from pic's. So I had a quick chat with radcoon.

Friday then Nishi.

As all you know Nishi is way more high speed compare to Minami.
The SX felt good and also the waether was nicer that Thursday. Plus... I slept way more! :D


With my last set of fresh tires I entered the track and got overtaken by a way to pretty JZZ30 :D.... nah, radcoon and me had a nice battling round. That boy got some skills. Except to the uphill section...(I almost crashed into him due to an unexpected move of his Toyota).


So... sadly I missed the earlier days but it was a load of fun. I'm totally exhausted. The SX payed off a million times. Great car and again I have to say, SR20's are great engines!
Thx to MACKAY and his guys for the job, thx to skip and the Art of Wheel (my steering wheel arrived today) and thx to all I met at Ebisu.

Good night!
