Pain なーホ


Well , hello there my dudes. It´s been a while since i´ve posted a good , long update where i was working on my cars . As you could see from the post that i´ve uploaded recently , i was in a really bad crash while i was on a roadtrip to Tsukuba Circuit . Instead of Tsukuba Circuit , i´ve end up in hospital . Thanfully i´m okay , just a few scratches and shit ton of back and neck pain and few bruises on my face from the airbag . However , on the other side of the "spectrum" my fav car ever , the lovely white DC5 Type-R Integra , my little Angel , my everything , is sadly Totaled .
Even tho my fav car is totaled and unrepairable , at least nothing major happened to me, Without my seat and the harness i would prob be dead now . Thankfully i´ve end up with scratches , shit ton of neck and back pain and , sadly with a really big pain in my chest , my broken heart because my little baby sadly passed away to the car heaven :crying:

Few days passed by and i´ve needed to clear my mind , so i´ve started to work on my R34 Skyline .
Ain´t gonna lie , it was pretty hard to work on the car when my back and neck were in pain , but i´ve needed to do something , my mind was going crazy .While i was still recovering from the crash , my uncle fixed the dent in the left door and deeply cleaned my car , thank you so much uncle for your help . Few days after the crash , when i was able to move just a littlebit , i went with my uncle to the junkyard to sell my front bumper and hood. While we were looking there for some possible parts for R34 , thankfully we found a black 1999 R34 GTT skyline and thankfully it still had the sideskirts , left mirror , left taillight cover, front bumper and hood . Everything except for the GTT front bumper and hood we bought. The old front bumper and hood that we were going to sell to the junkyard guys we exchanded for the GTT front bumper and hood instead . When we went home , my uncle installed the taillight cover , the hood and the side mirror for me . The next day i felt so much better so i´ve tried to work on my car by myself . To be exact , i´ve tried to install the front bumper and sideskirts . Somehow i thankfully did it . First i´ve put everything next to the car (Simply just for the photo lmao) . The black of the GTT parts is just a littlebit faded + it have a lot of dust on them .



And now for the actual installation .The sideskirts installed my uncle because i simply just couldn´t bend over enough . I still have a shit ton of pain in my back and neck and doing stuff like this is still pretty hard for me . However , i forced myself into working on the R34 just to clear up my mind from the loss of my DC5 . With help of my uncle i test fitted the front bumper .Thankfully it fits perfectly . Also in the back you can see a little lip . That lip i´ve put on with just a littlebit of double sided tape just to see if i like it or no . Final verdict , i like the car without the wing / lip or whatever . Maybe in the future i´ll rock some kind of wing but now , i like the simple wingless look.



Again , my uncle installed the bumper (with littlebit of a help from me lmao) . To be honest it was pretty hard to install the bumper , So many nuts and bolts but oh well , the bumper isn´t going anywhere now . As you could see there´s a littlebit of mismatch in the color . Well , personally i don´t mind it because i´m gonna get a new rear bumper and possibly new sideskirts in the near future + the whole car is gonna get painted really soon too ! Oh and another little detail on the car is pretty new , instead of the GTR seats (that i´ve sold for a pretty good price) i´ve bought a pair of used R34 GTT seats . However , they are not gonna stay in the car for 2 long , you´ll see why in the second .



After the install of all the parts , we went to my Uncle´s shop where the car was parked for a few days without a single touch . That changed on monday when i´ve removed the lip from the trunk and installed the new wheels and driver seat because i was feeling a lot better . A lot less backpain but you´ll see that later . Anyway , as you may or may not noticed , i have R32 rims in the back . You are prob asking where i got them ? Well , they are actually the drift spares that i´ve got with the car , but i´m not gonna need them anymore because i have something better as drift spares prepared in the future .You could prob also see that i have finally exhaust tip . Well , it´s actually a brand new catback Exhaust system that i´ve bought with many other parts when i was on my shopping spree in local UpGarage´s . Ain´t gonna lie i´m not sure which catback it is . I think it´s HKS or J´s racing , don´t quote me on that because i truly don´t know lmao .



Now for the new rims .What exact wheels i´ve bought on my " shopping spree" in UpGarage? 18´´ Uras Exsol wrapped in used Bridgestone Potenza Tires . I´m not 100% sure about the sizes because i´m not good at them but the wheels are apparently 18x8+30 front and 18x9+30 rear with 225/40/18 front and 245/35/18 rear tire setup . If you ask me , they look pretty nice and they are gonna look even better when the whole car will be painted in one color .



Here are a few close ups on the wheels and the fitment , in my opinion , the car needs to go down just a littlebit but for now it´s alrights . Also i´ve forgot to tell you guys that the car is on Tein Street basis coilovers so lowering the car is gonna be pretty easy , just need to adjust the coilovers a littlebit.



And finally moving to the interior . A you could see from the last few shots of the new rims , i have a new seat that i´ve bought on my "shopping spree" in UpGarage . To be exact its a black Bride Brix seat that is actually a brand new seat . Someone bought it and sold it to UpGarage almost right after so i guess win win situation lmao . Next thing for the interior is prob gonna be a simple weight reduction , AKA removing the whole interior from the front seats back and installing a pretty simple rollcage . For that i might hit up Mackay since he is a welding god ( you can clearly see that on Muzahid´s Supra how amazing he is) But probably the next thing that in gonna do is a new handbrake or fix the handbrake . I don´t know what´s wrong with it but it does not work well . Maybe time for a new E-brake ? *thinking emoji*



Well , that´s it . This is everything that happened in the last 2 weeks . For now , the car is parked next to the shop and after my uncle yelled at me for not resting i´m finally recovering fully lmao . It will prob take a few weeks to recover fully from the crash , maybe even the whole month . So if i wont upload / be active on the forums , you´ll know why ( + i have a lot of things to do IRL ) . On that note , goodbye guys and i hope that you´ve enjoyed my update .
