(this RP will be filled by bad grammars, typos, and foul languages)


o hai guys, so here i am.
My name is Abi. i am a college freshmen, originaly come from Indonesia, but moved to Japan due to student exchange program thingy. When it announced first things that come to my mind is FUCK YES JAPAN, NO I CAN FULFILL MY DREAM TO DRIVE A FUCKING REAL JDM CAR so i saved a lot of money to bought a car and living my life.

My dream car would be an s-chassis, or EVOs, but i just realized it cost too much to manage and modify (at the moment, i still need to pay some rent and stuffs). Then i found this GX81 hanging around the used car shop near my apartement. To be honest, i don't really know much about X chassis but i think it's cool to have one, hehe. I spend about 4000$ for this thing.



The last owner was a 70 years old retiree who doesn't really care about the aesthetics of the car. I found many dents and rust around the body, the radio doesn't work, the power windows making weird noises, and the wheels are kinda hard to turn. To be honest, i can't blame a 70 years old guy for this thing.... since it was an old car anyway.
I thought it was a bad deal that i made until i found this :



this thing had a SR20. like wuuuuut, how ?
The old owner says the 1G-FE that originally come with the car had died few years ago, and he changes it into an SR. The reason is.... well he doesn't know. If it fits, it'll run, he says. He doesn't even know how important, or legendary SR engine is ! Until now i don't know how he manage to make it fits right there.
I checked the engine and it still runs very well. Better than i expected. The thing needs new oil but that's it, nothing serious. I wonder how....


I think i'll make some drift build with this car with an accent of bozo style, kind of. To be honest i still don't know. I'll try to drive it normally at the moment.

I need someone who knows about GX81 and things about it, because i think there's a thing i still don't know about this car. Oh yeah at the moment, i live near maze circuit so if someone is near, wanna hang out, or talking about car stuffs, feel free to ask :D

I'll update the things when something happened, soon.

it was pretty good except the oil which is already exceeds the mileage.
it was all orignal except the top which i think has been repainted.
it looks new because i just finished polishing the engine when i took the pic, maybe it's waaay to clean :))

Oh well, seems i'll make it as a drift build.
So, i did some changes with the car. Got some TEIN coilovers and KONI adjustable springs (weird combination, i know.) for 500$ and i try to install it by myself.
I was pretty stupid with this kind of stuff so it takes about 3 hours to remove the entire stock coilovers. I even remove the front bumpers to make sure i did the right thing, oh well. :P
Now the car is lower and wider than before. I hope nothing bad happpens because of this lol.







That steelies need to go but i haven't find any replacement for it. I'm searching for 16 inch, probably SSR or Hayashi.

Things been running pretty slow today. After i finished my class, the old guy who previously owned the car told me to take something from his garage. It was a front lip which he forgot to install when he sold it. We managed to fit it in and i said thanks to him. When i was about to go, He told me how he feels about the car. I was told that he actually knows nothing about car stuff (I ask him again about the SR20, and i got the same answer. He says that he doesn't know anything about SR20 and he just randomly put it in because it fits), but he's really love this car, but for economic reasons, he had to sold it. Now he's kinda glad that the car is on the right hand, who can take care of it.

Poor guy. Seems i was wrong about "he doesn't care about the aesthetics" thingy. I think i'll try to take care of it as i could.



after that, i bought the oil, fuel, some food, then i went home.

Oh yeah, i got a free stickers from the oil i bought. Yay !

So i just ordered a seat and a foglights from Doge's Shop yesterday, and it already arrived this morning.
10/10 Recommended seller, gonna buy more stuff from Doge soon.

Just look at dem bride buckets :DDDDDD



I just bought one because, uh, i only need one at the moment.
tfw no gf




Unfortunately, the fog lights weren't really fit at the moment so i just put it as a decorative parts.



Few hours later the rims i ordered from harrison are arrived. With no hestitation i ditched the steelies and i put those hayashis into the car.



Decided to take a stroll with it after. The car is still, not perfect but i'm okay with it. :)



I'll probably gonna buy some overfenders tommorow. If there's no such things or no compatible parts, i'll do the ghetto way : Make it myself :D

If you'd like, I have an SR20DET. I can give you some parts or the whole engine, I'm trying to swap an RB26DETT into my car. The SR20 isn't really built, it has an HKS intercooler and a ricey air intake for the turbo. I really love your car, can't wait to see more.

...Remember me guys? Well, 5 months has passed and there's a lot of things happened. First, I've lost my password so i can't post any update and i just got it back, second i just finished my semester and finally i got a "real free time". Third, i've been taking a vacation to Italy few months ago and i meet this guy called johny_bravo or something, basically he asked me to do some "stance showcase" video because why? uh...


...Cut the bullshit, here's my car looks like now....



Kinda far from what i expected, i just want a car to daily driven but instead my car-sense is tingling and i made this mess...
Well the reason is my uni-friend recommend me to build a full-bozo-build thingy and i managed to get this. Now i felt like a biggest en garde gaijin fuccboi in the whole niigata prefecture. BUT FUCK IT ATLEAST IT LOOKS COOL AF (well for me atleast)



gone the hayashi's- i've replaced it with enkei 92 and combine it with kumho wheels and my ghetto fenders. And fitted it with koni full adjustable suspension to make it work. NO AIRBAGS because i'd rather scrape my underbody like a d̶u̶m̶b̶a̶s̶s̶ fuccboi.



Rat coolers because well, it's functional atleast.



I Ditched the decals and make a new one. it reads "Star Platinum", my friend recommends it because he likes the "JoJo Bizzare" thingy but i know nothing about it. I'm not a weeb like those guys anyway.



Ditches the Bride Bucket too. i've using it as a lazy chair in my apartement now :D



i'm giving it some spoiler too for the looks.

One thing i realized that the SR20 actually still works - Kinda shocked me to be honest since it wasn't actually fits well with the bay.

I'm planning to get a new daily since this shit definitely won't pass shaken test. Atleast i can drive it for lul.

Looks dope!

If you want to pass shaken, just raise your car back up to a monster truck height and have a few extra yen to bribe the inspector. Most of them are rather underpaid and will look the other way if you give them a few yen ;)

Thank you!

and oh yeah, a little update:



I just won a bet with my friend and he ends up giving me a D-Max bonnet and a new lip and some molding for free (and it's already painted for some reason). i also moved the cooler position since making a hole in the headlights for the pipes seems to be a bit too ridiculous. Then i was about using a duct tapes to close the hole but i ends up giving both of the headlights some "enchancement".

I'm still looking for a daily ride but since my wallet is currently dying i think i'll buy a shitbox or something like that. Atleast it could run.
