Huge thanks for the nice words, you guys!

Really chill week tbh

In this week nothing really that much happened tbh. Just the small final touches on the 180sx were made and the EG6 has a Brembo BBK on the front now. I needed to get some bigger brakes because I noticed that the brakes started to fade when slowing down fast from higher speeds. Payed about 1.300V$ for the whole kit. The kit consisted of the 4-pot calipers, drilled 300mm brake discs and 4 new brake pads.





And as you can might tell I also got rid of the trims on the side and just covered the holes with some left over wrap I had from the rear wing. Also had a local print shop help me getting some bigger stuff printed for the sides of the car. To finish it off I actually made the whole car just an inch lower overall. It kinda starts to rub in the front when the suspension is compressed while turning but maybe I can fix that with slightly smaller tires or with a tiny bit of camber.. dont really want to loose that amazing grippy handling the car currently has though.

Two random shots I made in Yokohama:





And like I said we also finished off the 180sx by finally welding together a (*some sort of*) exhaust. At first I wanted to go full out but yet decided to go a bit tamer so we ended up making some pretty simple shotgun barrels for it. Had a small drive without plates through the Tokyo suburbs I live in. A policeman actually stopped me because of that but when I told him that it was just a test drive he actually let me go with a small warning and a huge smile on his face!
