Change of plans...
 -✔ Alright , it's finally Monday again so that means another update. So , I can say that a lot of things happened this weekend , and I also decided to change my plans and head into a completely different direction , but I'll talk more about that later. So , I've finally picked the R32 up from the paintshop because as you know , I decided to give it a little recolor because I didn't really like the look of white on in , and yeah , I've also bought some more parts for the R32 as well , so let's move to that already , shall we ? ✔-     -✔ So , right off the bat you can see 2 things. One of them would be that the car is now in the Gun Metal Grey color , which is a GTR color , of course ! And the second thing would be the new hood and fenders. Well yeah , I decided to go with a vented Nismo styled hood , not because the engine needs cooling , but because it makes the car look better , and the new fenders are some fenders from UpGarage that I found for really cheap. I picked them up because they were wider than the stock ones , and that means that I can put some spacers and bring the front wheels out a bit more , right ? Well yeah , that's exactly what I did. I went for the Gun Metal Grey because it reminded me of Lagano's R32. I just thought the car would look better in a darker color so yeah , here it is. I decided to switch from the GTST hood because it didn't look really good to me , and putting this Nismo one on was really easy to do. No modifications were needed and it just makes the car look better. It's just so funny to me that when I air out the bags , the car sits so low that the front bumper touches the ground. I really hope I won't destroy it , but yeah , this car is amazingly low when its aired out. The HRE rims look amazing and I really love them ! They make the car look quite good I'd say ! So now , let's move to the rear ! ✔-    -✔ The rear looks pretty good as well and I think the GTR wing really makes this car's rear look good ! I'm really happy with how the rear looks now. Ahh man , it's just crazy how much camber I'm getting when I'm aired out and the fitment is just insane. I really like it ! The HRE wheels sure look good on stanced cars , though I think they would've looked better if they had a deeper dish in the rear , but still , they look pretty good ! I never thought I would build a "showcar" , even though I don't think it's worthy of that name yet , the R32 is definitely not something that I would build all the time. It's definitely way different from all the other cars around and I could say that is pretty good ! Either way , the R32 is pretty close to being finished and that's quite good. Exterior wise , the car is just how I like it and yeah , it's a very comfy car to daily ! The bags are working exactly like they should and the car is really comfortable and fun to drive. It's just crazy that about a week ago I was at Ebisu sliding this car. To me , the R32 changed radically , and that's a good thing , but it pretty much reached the point where it's just perfect for what I use it , so yeah , it's all good. Anyway , let's move to the main subject of this update...✔-    -✔ Ahh yes , the R35. Well , some things got switched this weekend. First off , the R35 ended up not getting repainted , but I have a good reason for that. In the last couple of days I've figured out that buying this thing was not worth it at all. Sure , it's really comfy and technologically advanced , but that's not what I'm into after all. This car lacked the power I wanted , and it's overall not worth it , even if it's a V-spec. It's big and heavy , the engine isn't quite what I wanted and it started to feel like a toy to me. I really started feeling bored and I just lost my interest in this car. Modifying such an expensive car is of course , expensive , and to be fair , I don't have the money to own and constantly modify an R35. I really feel like this car just lacks personality , and the overall spirit of this car is just not existent. Sure , it's really fun to floor it and hear the VR38 scream , but this is not what I wanted. I expected more from this car , but it seems that after all , it's just not for me. I've asked the owner if he'd like to buy it back and gladly he said yes , so he got his car back , I got my money back and I pretty much owned an R35 for a couple of days. But I can't lie , the R35 is fun only when you first start driving it , but otherwise , it's just not worth buying it. I've sold it because I started having money problems and this was the car that had to leave , and luckily , I've somehow managed to own an R35 for free. It was fun , but once again , it's not what I wanted. And that's pretty much what determined to move on and do what I actually like , which is building street beasts. I'm a "built not bought" guy so just buying an R35 doesn't make sense to me anymore , but still , I'm really glad that me and my friends got to experience a more different car , but after all , the R35 got it's ass kicked by an R33 and S15 , both running engines with over 650 hp , so yeah , I just said screw this thing and gave it back to the owner , and I can't lie , I'm glad I got rid of the R35 , it just wasn't for me. ✔-   -✔ So , let me explain why I wanted my money back. Well , me , Mackay and Radcoon started a racing team , named Icon Motorsports , and I wanted to make sure that I can put the money necessary towards the team and making our car into the beast that we all want. So , With my current money , I'm pretty good. I have no clue what my next car is gonna be , but one thing is for certain , I will take a break from my shenanigans and put my time into working on the team car , because after all , we gotta build a Time Attack/Hillclimb car , and that takes a lot of time , money and effort. For our team car we went with a super cheap S15 that we found and we're gonna make it into a absolute beast , and man oh man I can't wait to see how she turns out , it's definitely going to be fun to build a Time Attack car with crazy aero , because after all , that's what I always wanted ! I always wanted to be a part of a racing team and here I am ! Ahh , I'm just so happy that my dreams are coming true ! If you guys want , you can check out our team over at this *LINK* It's definitely going to be fun to build a car and travel all around Japan to events so yeah , I'm really happy that I'm a part of this team and I'll try my very best to be as efficient as possible. ✔-  -✔ So yeah , that would be it. Sorry if this update isn't what you expected and sorry that it's quite short , but I promise better updates are coming soon. Everything just happened so fast this weekend and I'd say that I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out in the end. The R35 is back to it's previous owner , all the money is back in my pocket , I've also managed to get rid of all the useless old parts from the other cars and yeah , it's all good now. Stay tuned in for the next updates and make sure you check out our team , everything is gonna turn out very sick , I know it ! But yeah , that would be it for now , I'll see you all in the next update , godspeed homies !  ✔-This post was edited by ErwinFenyvesi23 (2018-08-27 16:51, ago) |
