# StratoWolf : Put a 4G63 in that Mirage Colt!

That's exactly what we are going to do. Or a k20. But the 4g is more plausible
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________





























Not the best looking 180 but it's a good base to work on. It has an SR20DET with some small mods done to it, overall nice on the inside but ugly on the outside. We checked for leaks and stuff that was possible to check for at the place, everything looked like it's good so we handled the cash and then we drove to the hotel (-£378 for 2 rooms since we aren't gay).



The 2nd day in the land of the rising sun. Our first point of the day was to wash our cars so they look just a bit better (-£10). Next we gave them a full tank of gas (-£100) so we don't suddenly run out of it and then we set off to MACKAY's shop to check the cars more proffesionally and do typical maintenance.





















We arrived in Mackay's shop in the evening, checked the drivetrain components as well as did a fluid change. Thanks again Mackay for letting us in.
We're now on the way to Nikko curcuit so if you are in japan, come here, a lot of v$ people might show up.

# skip : Skyline and a semi-built 180sx for only V$6666?
Too cheap. Fix them prices please.

We based prices on this and this. And btw, we use pounds, I even asked BB93 if they're allowed and he said yeah. 6666 pounds is slightly over 8751$. Appreceate that you care about making rp's more realistic.

# StratoWolf : Shit, I wish I was in Japan now but now currently I'm currently settling in Italy with my brother.

Then we have to go to the Czech Republic.

you should come visit japan sometime in the future tho, it's a cool country.

The issue was that a cable got ripped during driving there, and so the wiring's now a bit messed up. Which is why my car broke on the way there.

They're in Tochigi...

And I'm in Northern Italy.

Just finances, ful upadate coming in the near future

Lot of inactivity here...

*this chapter starts about an hour after our last upadate*
Sooo we found out what was the problem with our cars. In my GT-T one of the hoses that connect to the raidiator rotted out and broke off completly leaking coolant for about 8km's, so it'll be pretty easy to fix this. The problem
with the 180 is a bit more difficult to fix. And more pricey. Remember what had happened to Jeremy Clarkson in Top Gear Patagonia special? The ripped cable? Well, that's exactly what happened here. JF1 told me that he pulled
over because the tach suddenly stopped working (well it was turning on and off for some time). So since his car is more useable than mine I found the closest UpGarage and told JF1 to drive there and get me a new set of raidiator
hoses.


*about an hour later*
Well, he's back which means that we might get to Nikko today! I'm so excited to see all the different cars! I took the raidiator out while he was driving to the upgarage so I can start fixing immidietaly after he gets back here.
*20mins later*
The raidiator's in! Now onto filling it up with coolant.
*5mins later*
It works! And JF1 told me that he'll continue the journey with his phone as a speedometer. Should work.


Well, we're here! I know that it took us longer than expected but at least we know now where's the clostest upgarage I hope that I'll get to drift a bit but for now I think that we should search for other fellow v$ members.
*the next day*
Well, I think that we arrived too late because we can't find anybody here xd But since we're here we are going to have some fun.

CHAPTER 4: Preparing to leave the country

It's been a great week here in Japan, but all journey's eventually come to and end, and that's what happened. And since we don't want to ship our cars to the UK, we decieded to drive them back home through
Russia, Belarus, my home country Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and a bit of France.m Google maps says that it's over 12000 km's and it'd take us 142h of non-stop driving which is about 6 days. Ofc we won't drive 6 days without sleep, that's impossible


Well, we are back in the UK. There isn't much to talk about regarding the 6 day trip, it pretty much was:
Step 1 (Russia): Avoiding potholes, gopniks and drinking vodka
Step 2 (Belarus) : Same as step 2
Step 3 (Poland) : Translate everything into english for JF1
Step 4 (Germany) Avoid everything
Step 5 (the Netherlands) : search for Coffee shops (if you know what I mean )
Step 6 (Belgium) : just drive through this country
Step 7 (France) mostly just driving and Eurotunnel trip
And we are back to London!







*This part of upadate ends about a week ago*

Now, onto recent stuff:
- The 240z is finished and it sold like a day after I posted an ad for it.
- I sold the 240z, mustang and my rsx for a total of 21000 pounds
- And in their place I got myself this:







Yes, I bought a 2008 Porsche 911 turbo. It had a small accident, nothing too big though.
And JFernando1 got himself an S class Mercedes. Not a new one though. W140 to be specific. We'll show it to you when it arrives from Poland.

Well, allow me to show you the route that we took: *LINK*
As you can see, we basically drove through whole Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany and bits of the Netherlands, Belgium and France. Yes, 12000km is a long drive but it sure was fun!

The Mother of all roadtrips.
And congrats on the Porsche.

That trip was quite expensive with the cars you had but that doesn't matter if it was fun, right? Anyway good that you're back home safe and sound.

Nice 997, but you should get arrested for stealing it lol. It may look intact on the outside but being so cheap it probably has some major problems.

(btw 997 Turbo has a different exhaust. Also when did you get a 240Z and a Mustang?)

Also what kind of envmap do you use?

Weird swap but cool

Well; there's a 13B Altezza, yet, only now are you effected by these odd swaps?

How did you fit that massive engine into the Lancer I like it.
There so many engine swaps... why this shouldn't work out at the end.

# KondzixsPL :

We had: £12601
Radiator hoses: -£5
Coolant: -£5
Body shop labour: -£1000
Fuel: -£500
Meals and stuff: -£91
TOTAL: £11000
Sold the 240z, white mustang and the RSX Type S: +£21000
Porsche 911 GT2: -£7445 ( *LINK* )
Mercedes W140: -£1580 ( *LINK* )
AE86 bought from saletl: -£1200
Cae shippings: -£1115
Road fees and shit: -£260
NEW TOTAL: £20400

(( What magical price tag the Porsche did base on? Estimated value on the auction site looks like 47k, not 7k. ))

F20C LANCER !
It should be fun!
In addition it would be easier to place an I4 RWD in a Lancer, than to place an I6 RWD in a lancer
In addition to the beloved ...
VTEC KICKS IN YOOOOOO

So have you found out what kind of envmap you were using?

# Hidden Username : Wtf? Lancer have bmw engine and it don't have VTEC. Plus F20C is honda.

It is a suggestion, An f20c would be easier to install, besides the VTEC

Hi!
One of the owners of this build thread is one of my friends. We met in College and have been friends ever since. Over the last week he invited me to share this thread with them. I live relatively far away from them (down near Cornwall in the South West of England.) However, I still go up to see them on a regular basis. At the moment, I have two cars- One daily and one project car. I will show my cars soon when I get back from work.


Okay, I'm back from work now. Time to show you my cars. Here is my daily: a bog standard BMW 3-series Compact.





Here it is when I first bought it (two weeks ago). Modifications wise, I think I'm going to go with some new rims and coilovers.

Mark

Thanks! Love your GTT too
