Thank you guys for the kind comments and Im glad that you see the intention and inspiration behind the 180! And Lagano you might be right that 18s might look a bit big at first but this is actually a well known setups on these super low S-Chassis. It works wonders trust me lmao.
But now to the next update: The first few weeks of the new shop!
 Soo. You might be wondering how the shop is doing. I can gladly say that everything is running pretty damn well. And I got way more customers than I first expected. Though a lot of them are close friends which you might have seen on other threads. But I already had work from just changing tires and doing small services to full on body repair. I love it!  There was this kid Hibiki-san with this sick turquoise EG Civic for example. The body had some rust coming through the rear right fender which I quickly removed by cutting away every part affected by rust and then making my own sheet metal plate and welding it in place. Some bondo on top to make everything smooth.  Oh then there was Katsuo-san with this super sick 3S-GE powered Altezza. He needed some help on making his new body kits fit properly and get a proper alignment. He's very pumped on getting better to someday compete in D1SL or even D1GP. His ride definitley feels perfectly dialed to get some training in. But I obviously didn't leave out my own cars in the meantime. Though the FC didn't get any new parts and didn't see any real "action" its still such a nice and well balanced car and is actually really great as a daily. Rotaries definitley aren't as "explosive" as everyone says they are.. Just the gas mileage is a bit.. eh lol.  One day I found myself in this little side street which the FC fit into perfectly and I thought it was time for some little pics. Still love how period correct this thing looks with the Border Racing front bumper, the old Brides and the R33 wheels.   And now some S-Chassis galore starting with my own S13. It did see some changes tho they aren't the biggest ones - well atleast not mechanically. I finally did some driver mods! Meaning changing the seats to these super comfy Thrash Racing Street Spec Alpha in Diamond Black. What a long and fancy name lol.    As you maybe can tell I also changed the steering wheel to yet another Thrash Racing product combined with a Works Bell boss kit to actually install the onto the car. The quality of the wheel is just as great as the seat. Can't complain! Also found a super nice Veilside shift knob (used) on Yahoo Auctions that finishes off the look.  To make the rear end just a tad bit more interesting I got a D-Max roof wing that I just quickly wrapped to fit the color of the car. Though after some weeks I'm already thinking about removing it heh. Let's see how long it will stay.  Random pics for different angles lol:    And for good measure I wanted to show you these two interesting s-chassis. First off - This is Randy's S14.  Randy is part of those guys that stay on base in Japan meaning they work at the US Military. And like a lot of them he's interested in drifting so he bought himself this sick S14 which he already put in a lot of work to get it sliding. He actually just wanted to get some tires changed on his spares and a quick bolt check on the car. Even more interesting - he might want to get another project soon that might replace his S14... And then there was this - Shouta's S15.  Well you might know where this is going because how I teased the last bit of Randy's S14. This S15 is actually for sale aswell. Shouta said that he's willing to sell hit because he wanted something to drift that hes not too scared to damage while drifting. Sounds weird but it makes sense when you see this thing fully. Crazy clean. And just some few simple bolt on mods like a catback exhaust, pod filter and some HKS Hypermax coils. It's a Spec-R aswell. This is probably the most tempting for me between those two since I never actually owned an S15 before and because of how clean it is. That's finally it for this update. A bit longer to cope for the lack of content lmao. Welp. Seeya! |
