....FLIPPING THINGS AROUND


Yes hello im not ded :D . well not yet at least. been gone for a while again oops. but yeah, some big stuff has happened over the past two weeks


We got back home from Osaka just in time for my "big occasion". IS IT MARRIA- no its not xD. but something i'd say is close to that level.
So as you may recall, earlier on, VERY earlier on, i only said that i moved to Japan for my studies. and thats all i ever said on the topic of studies. Now tho, i really cant help but explain why i even came to Japan, my studies. you may have already guessed the occasion, I HAVE GRADUATED! Got myself a Civil Engineering degree from the University of tokyo at the age of 23! Ngl its a big turning point for me, Just like it would be for every other person who graduated. Life seems to no longer be just acing exams and worshipping books. its a great feeling to know that ive made it through this whole journey as well!


My parents have been very supportive thankfully. they didnt summon me back to the homeland right the fuck now lmao. They in turn encouraged me to stay in GLORIOUS Japan and build up my career!


The other two wholesome bois who share the garage with me, yeah they did their part too. Dunno when they managed to do it but they bought a Regulus rear spoiler for my Supra! and had it painted the same color too!



I was already planning to get some sort of wing for the Supra but the bois surprised me instead lmao. Love how it looks on the car. Love how they actually gifted it to me <3


Since i've now graduated, theres a lot of job options out there that i could apply to. But im rather considering a brief internship somewhere first. Just to increase my chances. Quite a few options here as well for sure. TRD, nismo, STi etc. and non-car organizations too. but lets see what works out in the end


ok going back to the cars now, the Supra progress hasnt ended at the rear wing. it now finally has the braking power to match the grunt!
Got a brand new set of Endless 6piston 330mm big brakes for the front, and a used set of Wilwood 4piston 275mm for the rear. A bit of a mishmash, but the whole setup ofc saved money from like huge brand new brakes all around. and it'll get the job done just as good!


FRONT


And REAR!


and it certainly does the 18" TE's justice now. the old stock brakes looked puny inside the wheel


Up next for the Supra, new suspension components to handle the speed, a powerFC/any other ECU choice, a full tune, and then dialing the tune in for the speed goals im trying to achieve with it. JUST A FEW MORE TWEAKS REMAIN!


Well, now its time to explain the title of the update.

*sigh* here goes


LANCER EVO 9 WAGON
SOLD!

(to local acquaintance Sakamoto-san)


S13 DRIFT CAR
SOLD!

(to none other than my buddy Marc lmao)



The 13 didnt sell with the Cerberus 2's btw. i traded those wheels with AJ if you have checked his RP. (if not, GO PEEP IT). instead i sold it to Marc on my spare MB Design LV1 wheels that were just laying around. (PEEP MARCS RP TOO when he finally finds time to update it)


You may be quite damn confused as to why this has happened. But well, simple answer, i got unhappy, and graduation thoughts kicked in. The S13 needed a whole rebuild, which we planned to do. And the Evo needed a pretty complicated (for me at least) transmission swap done to be good. It was just feeling like a whole bunch of responsibilities to get these cars how i wanted them, and i continued feeling sadder with every passing day. which brings me to the Mercedes, which i have been daily driving. well, it has its own reason of going. Namely because its a V8 from 1995, that too European. it guzzles a lot of gas just to look and feel luxurious, and ofc if anything major goes wrong, my wallet wouldn't be so happy. So yeah, Merc up for sale too. ive fixed the Air conditioning and Replaced the Pioneer head unit with another same unit last week. Equivalent of 6000V$ takes it!



Only thing i dont plan on selling ANY TIME soon, the Supra ofc. Too much attachment with it to just let it go cuz im getting depressed lmao. Nonetheless, dont think im literally quitting cars just because i graduated. like the title says, i just craved a refresh, rather early because i havent own the evo and merc for that long but yeah, felt right. And a REFRESH is what im gonna get for sure! Got something pretty big planned up after the Merc sells!



Welp, thats gonna be all for now. As always thank you for stopping by :)
