Besides that i bought a H@R Suspension Kit, and Endless Brake's. luckily the H@R kit was on sell and so were the brake's. Right now it's sitting 5'50 inch's off the ground so it sitting pretty low.

Those brakes are going to help a lot, trust me. Switching from the cream 240, which had a medium spec AP kit or something, to the mint 240's giant 326power brake kit, changed the way I took corners completely... But, a lot of that has to do with the car's weight and running gear...

So I haven't really been on the team thread lately so i thought I'd post an update on my Stagea.
I stayed up from 10pm to 6am taking the Stagea apart and putting the new Stagea/BNR34 Fenders onto the car, had some difficulties but I managed to get them on after a few hours.

Your boy Tofu coming through with V$1450 in "useless" purchases!
   I got a really sick deal on these items. -18" Work Emotion CR Kais wrapped in 255/20 Kumho tires -Kouki Tails -Front lip -Megan racing muffler I also installed my Type-X wing which came with the car. With the new, wider wheel setup, the car is less prone to lose grip. The 1.5JZ still finds a way to almost kill me, though. |

RafaMy:Thanks, but the miata is going on vacation after this update because i need to work because i just bought a garage in Amagasaki. So if anyone of you guy's need a place to store builds, and or part's you can use it.      Fresh new paint Nobu Purple  I also hardtopped it so thats a thing no spec upgrades yet so it's so slow and i dont think i wanna do much under the hood because i dont wanna drift this i just want a show car but i am gonna try to get some Horsepower so i can be that guy who rev's his engine at car meet's. That was a joke but it's cool it wasn't funny, also ignore the Kyoto plates.PURCHASES Paint Job HardTop Garage COST:V$4635 This post was edited by Ryku220 (2016-07-04 16:55, ago) |

Nice. I might have to drop some of my 240SX stuff off there. I have like, two of every bodypart.
In the meantime, I'm looking at picking up a project car. I'm thinking I might go with another Nissan, since I know the brand. But, I also might change it up a bit. Honestly, I don't really know what I'm going to do. |

I was actually considering a Fairlady Z, yeah.
UPDATE: I'm actually considering a Z33 now, which, isn't what I meant when I said Fairlady Z, I meant like a 240Z or something. But, now i'm looking at Z33s lmao. This post was edited by TofuHachiroku (2016-07-04 23:10, ago) |

Just a quick update on the Levin
I ended up getting some pipe to make a custom straight pipe exhaust.  I bought a GREDDY pod filter. It sounds sooo good.  And I also stripped the interior and bought a Domo air freshener

# skip : Just a quick update on the Levin...You're making some mean progress on the Levin dude, keep it up. I'm going to pick up a (Z33) Fairlady Z today. I'll be sure to post some pictures when I get back home with it. I'm going to try and keep the engine stock, I need something with fuel economy. In now way am I saying a Fairlady Z is an economic car, it's just heaps better on fuel than the 240. |

A Sorta Big Update
So after work today I decided to stop in UpGarage to grab a wheel and maybe some other stuff if I seen anything. I ended up buying a HKB hub adapter, a plain black Nardi wheel and springs.
I also slapped on some Drift stickers and put on a Dildo-styled gearknob. I love it. Altogether these cost me V$118.60.  I also bought a couple of rattle cans and sprayed my cylinder head cover. I thought it looked good.  Now for the main part: After about and hour of searching, I found rims to replace my SSR's. This is them:  Hayashi Bombers!.
These rims are super rare and really hard to find in this condition. These are the only set I found on the internet.They cost me V$900. I don't know why but the owner threw in 2 other sets of rims, hmu if you want them. Hayashi Bombers I plan to completely respray the car soon, so stay posted. |

# skip : I also bought a couple of rattle cans and sprayed my cylinder head cover. I thought it looked good.Yeah, it does. I'm on my way back with the Z33. Thing is, I'm not driving it home. I'm towing it home... Why? Because it's a rolling chassis. I'll be home soon to post some photos. EDIT: Actually, I'll just show you the photos from the advertisement, as they were taken about a week ago and the car still looks the exact same.    I paid V$4000 for this car, mainly because it's on all stock suspension components with cut springs, and it has no motor. This post was edited by TofuHachiroku (2016-07-06 19:43, ago) |

TofuHachiroku:That is Nice asf i cant wait to see what you put in it honestly  .skip:That 86 is just coming out sexy in my opinion :D. Cant wait to see whats next. Nothing has really changed with any of the cars because i'm stuck and don't know what to do next. I want to upgrade the Miata but i don't know what to swap the engine with because i don't want a crazy amount of power and i don' want to do something that everyone doe's so i'm stumped.     I did buy a know muffler for the miata it's a Megan M-spec II i got for around V$135 so yeah that's better than the rusty thing i had at first. I also want to do something for the FC but i also don't know what even though i love that car more than myself XD but i just don't know now.

# Ryku220 : So im looking at a S2000 right now idk if i should do it? I think i might go for it if i do ill post some up's.Do it! I'm thinking of building an RB26, from the block up, for the Z33. I've seen RB powered Z33s before, which obviously means it's possible. |

So this is currently what the Levin looks like:
  It's got a full Blue respray with Generic Overfenders. I think they look a lot better. Plus some other engine mods, which you can see in the picture. Too tired to list tbh. Altogether it cost me V$1,000 I'm planning on supercharging it sooner or later Feedback? |
