# BigSmoke : Glad to see the A5 coming up nicely, nice exhaust choice as well! Also COME ON MAN I know you can actually make it head-to-head with RS4s! :thumbsup:

Also glad Mika (I'm currently holding myself from adding 'Jougasaki' on the back) actually survived the incident with only a scratch man. I still could remember the panic and horror as we roll quickly to a dim-lit parking space to check the damage, all heat and sweat pouring out from us and our cars.
And oh of course you had to change the exhaust, you gotta spread the joy of the inline 6 orchestra to the world man! :))

Even in bone stock form we can see Mackay's magic on the 325i, which, as we know it, well-proven on every single discipline. If you're going to make it as a grassroot drifter, I'd say keep that exterior intect. For the engine, I'd say you know the best :D

With the 325i serving as a grassroot drifter, what are you going to do with the S13? Though I have already an inside info on what engine it would have H I H E. (After all you've got a lot of them regarding my S15 :D ) And oh, my SR20 is still on for sale ;)

And OOOOOOHHMYGOOOOOOOOOOOD I just love that new setup for the A70 maaaan :o
It's just the right amount of grey and has that retro-contemporary 90s vibes that still looks strong today :-X
All you need is simply the K-S logo slapped on the side......or maybe no need to do it at all, as you've establised yourself as an icon with this! :pimping:

With a bigger turbo, its definitely possible to surpass those big V8's with the smaller 2.0Ts xD

Indeed. that was one helluva conclusion to a helluva evening! And yeah ofc i had to give it an Exhaust xD no point keeping the stock pipes on anymore ;)

Yeah you read my mind there. I dont really plan going widebody or anything of that nature on the 325i. Maybe just some cosmetic parts here and there and its already a good looking car! Plus the last thing i'd want is "all show and no go" :))
As for the S13, that thing will be a biweekly street car for when im feeling like i need some adrenaline on my way to work xD

AYE im glad you love the A70's current look! After a shit ton of brainstorming it came down to this grey and ngl, i'm VERY HAPPY that it did! :-X

All your rides have been all improved, or seeking to improve in the future!

I'd love to see that 200SX finished, and the A70 Supra looks just ideal :)

Oh dont worry, you will see the 200SX finished someday ;) . And thanks my dude! @};-

# RocketBunnyS13 : GAWWWWDDD BEST GA/JZA70 ON THIS SIDE OF THE NET, CALLING IT RIGHT NOW @};-

And nice to see you finally brought your RS13U home. First one to finish his S13 treats his mates out for a spectacular dinner :awesome:

(hOLY shit I still can't stop looking at the Soup, everything flows well actually, the diffuser matches the vibe all around, who knew Bomex, Kaminari, and some custom fab work could bring the whole car together so nicely! I also much prefer the current (Battleship?) Gray over the basic white with black lining. :-X )

And hMMMMM what are you cooking up for your E46 you sneaky sneak

*cue John Cena "Are you sure about that" meme*

OH hell yes! even though im pretty sure its gonna be you who's finishing first xD dinner at Mickey D's ok thx

Glad you love the Supra my dud :-X (pink slip race when)

E46 IS UHHHHHHHHHH

.......IMPORTANT DYNO RUN


From the title you can probably already guess what im starting this weeks update off with. Past Wednesday after work i wasnt feeling as tired as normal. Maybe its because of that strong cup of coffee that Eiichi-kun (one of my well-acquainted Nismo mechanics) had offered me at 7p.m. but whatever the reason, i decided to make do of the energy. Called up Daijiro-san again for a chilly evening Dyno appointment. Unfortunately his shop was rather packed that day so the only way would have to be going over at about 10:30 p.m., and he'd stay a bit over time for me. Welp, since its an overdue matter, i decided to take the chance nonetheless.



Fired and warmed the Supra up once again for the week. To go fetch some concrete evidence of just how much thrust she's putting out.



After a 20 minute lovely drive with whirlwinds of turbo sounds and cool near-midnight wind in my head, i arrived at Dai-san's place.
Was a bit worried the car wouldnt clear the ramp to the dyno and i'd have to take the bumper off and shit, but it turns out it cleared it, by just a hair.



Right then, locked and loaded, computer connected to the PowerFC ECU for monitoring, hood popped.


LES GO



In a matter of seconds as Dai-san began to get on the throttle, the rather LOUD yet beautiful sounds of the 1JZ VVTi and the Greddy T78 turbo filled the whole shop, and maybe some of the outside neighborhood too. And its not just, this car likes to shoot quite some flames on decel and those create QUITE SOME SOUND!



AND NOW, THE NUMBERS. cue drumroll.......

621HP, 607 lb-ft !

dunno bout you, but for me thats already MORE THAN ENOUGH! the goal with the build being somewhere around 550hp, im very VERY happy with this power figure (and keep in mind its still on stock pistons!) Marc has done a splendid job on the ECU tune. Gotta treat the mans with some food xD


Most of the 621Hp, or loss-calculated 530WHP through the rear wheels, kick in at above like 4000RPM, with the Rev limit being set at 7300. The spool up time is a bit long as you'd expect with a build like this, but when the turbo does spool up, the KICK IS INSANE!


....ONTO THE EARLY DEPARTURE OF THE AUDI


On my last update i mentioned this car now awaits an Aftermarket FMIC. Well i finally got delivery of a kit and secured it on in 30mins. The kit in question is an Airtec full FMIC bolt-on kit, which replaces the stock one with a traditional higher flowing aluminium FMIC.




And now it comes to explaining that header. If you're not already familiar with it, AJ (RocketBunnyS13) recently sold his daily driver, a 2018 Honda Civic FC1, and there was nothing yet to fill that gap on his collection of cars. And another fact was, he's more of an Audi-loving and knowing guy than i am. And on my side, while the A5 was a GREAT car for daily usage, i kinda had the craving for something spicier, more raw again. Cuz in the end, the daily driver is the car i'll interact with the most throughout the days. So over dinner one day, we came to middle grounds and i offered AJ to buy my car. At first he resisted, but in the end when i explained my sudden craving, he agreed to take the car happily, being the Audi-head that he is. We agreed upon a price of V$ 12,000 due to all the restoration work and mods that has gone into the car. The only thing i retained ownership of was the whole set of the Nismo LMGT1's, which i'd like to utilise on the 200SX in the future. later on i put the car back on the SSR Type-C's and just like that yet another of my cars goes to AJ!


Goodbye then, you've been a great car to drive for the past month and a half.


I'M ALREADY CHASER

(dead asf meme but ok)

Ever just come across a deal thats way too good to pass, regardless of what happens after you make the purchase? yeah, this is one of those cases.

Say hello to the new show-car build, a member of a chassis that i ABSOLUTELY ADORE!
A 1998 Toyota Chaser JZX100 Tourer S!


Starting off with the technical stuff, this is a Tourer S, i.e. automatic, 1JZ-GE powered. Bone-effin-stock. and this one doesnt have the optional aero kit as well. but apart from the engine and transmission, and said aero kit, AFAIK everything on this car is the same as you'd get on the much more sought-after Tourer V models (1JZ-GTE M/T ones)



i already have a handful of builds going on, so why did i buy this car you may ask. Well, like i already said, i got a MAD deal for it in this condition and i simply COULD NOT turn it down. here's the original ad-



YES, THAT IS AN ACTUAL VERIFIED ONLY 37,XXX KILOMETRES. (or 22,XXX miles), for a price of JUST V$2690!

How on earth is it going for that price then? well simple answer, it was owned by an old man since brand new and apparently he didnt have anyone to pass the car forward to, nor did he have use of selling it at about double the price. So here it was, in absolute pristine condition, going for a STEAL of a price, and here i was, lucky enough to scoop it!



The interior is as i said, PRISTINE. Basically everything works and theres sign of basic wear and tear only bc of the cars age.




Exterior wise the paint was in average condition. theres not many swirls here and there and a wash and polish should bring it up back to brand new condition! (that is if i dont wrap/respray it. We'll see xD)



Plans for the car? Well im for sure gonna do a full Tourer V drivetrain swap. 1JZ-GTE, R154, all of it. And then maybe i'll try to achieve a good stance along with overall good looks, for a simple street cruiser that i can take to meets every now and then. Oh and if the E36 is down, i can take it drifting too! But yes, i absolutely LOVE the Toyota X-chassis in general and probably would've gotten one in the future even if this deal didnt exist xD
And also now that the A5 is sold, i can daily drive it for a few days to a week. After that, maybe i'll cover it up and park it for a while to concentrate on other builds? Maybe i'll set the 200SX aside to focus on this one first? idk, we shall see!


Anyways, guess that concludes todays update. As always, thank you for dropping by! ;)

# Lagano : Wow, all of your cars got some major changes lately! Especially the Supra, didn't see that one coming. Now it looks like a sick racecar, the big wing and exhaust placement confirm it! I would put the exhaust under the diffuser or something like that but hey, you made it look a bit more special. Talking about racecars, is the M3 going to be another one? :rolleyes: E36 looks promising too, should be a very fun drift car and it will stand out from all the S13s! Oh wait, you got one too. :)) What kind of build will that one be? It needs a lot of work so take your time on it, just like for your M3!

Also don't mod the A5 too much, while you have many projects to work on i suggest you to keep it reliable :P

Once again, im glad you like the Supra man! :-X
The M3, well somewhat racecar yes. dont actually know how far i wanna take it but lets see xD
The S13 like ive stated on Smokes reply there, is gonna be another street build. you'll see of what sort ;)

Yeah the FMIC was the last mod from my side xD
