So where to start this time?.... This recent days quite some stuff happened. I had Erwin over at my place for a couple of days and it was a blast. We gave his R33 a new look with our first livery done with the new printer. He was again helpful putting my Cresta back together and firing it up for the first time.
 Oh yes, Kokanium, Tao and me went for a cruise around town. Showing off in good old shatokan manor. So the gx81 is newly painted in red/white referring to the old toyota race liveries. Of course I stickered a bit   This Specter window banner is an homage to one of the biggest bozo gangs around which is not existing in it's original kind since 2004. As you know my Shop I have original Specter stickers which I got form they're hq bar which is now a great place to hang out and listen to stories form the old days. Maybe it might be just a vinyl graphic but to me it means a lot, to be allowed to put it on my car. On of the kanji's refers to "supporter". I always been fascinated by this culture so I am really stocked....  Technical wise the last bits have been a koto-radiator and all the wiring. The 1JZ sounds amazing on low rpm already but I didn't push it to far yet. Having a NOS (new old stock) engine... amazing.  At this point I am quite happy with the Cresta but still got some to-do's like the interior and the head cover of the 1J. Oh and yeah, the new manifold came again from MACKAY. Thx a lot buddy!  My RPS13....  In the last update I'll got the last time a picture of a quite good looking car :). I Managed to head to Ebisu two more times and basically took the sh.. out of it. It simply feels great and I make good progress on my dori skills. Yeah... sure some touches here and there... :D.  A great score or gift from the guys of NRI came the other day. One of they're vertex x NRI wheels. I think it proofs we do good with SRC shop! It totally stands out. As it is the only new part of the car.  We also might get another one for the shop  So last one for today is the S15. I spend a bit on new Bride bucket's and take belts. Also a new sparco wheel with quick release. I went though a lot of wheels to find one that simply grips and feels the best for me. The next days the Silvia will be at the paint booth. As we also finished the custom mounts for the RB26 and it's transmission.  Yepp... went gauge crazy. I got a set of HKS vent gauges and a setup from Defi. As you see I'm still wiring.  That's it for now. And I think the next big update needs some time as I am quite low on recourses Yeah the S15 soaks all the money. But It surely pay's off! The RB26 is in Osaka to get it's special treatment by Mr.M. Anyone knows a good bank? Mean one I could rob... :dSo far... thx for reading. |
