BigSmoke · 2018-10-18T21:16:33+00:00

Wassup y'all welcome to my RP My name is Melvin Harris, better known as Big Smoke. I live in San Andreas and what I like is two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra di- Just kidding, I'm not really him. Alright let's get serious My name is Yuan Edo, I'm 24 (though I'm younger IRL.Guess how much), and I'm hailing from Indonesia to the city of Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. I live roughly 18 km to where the Tsukuba Circuit is, which is located in Simotsuma city, a direct neighbo

Daaaam sub minute on a car like that is almost impossible i'm kinda wanting to take a step on the AWD world tho. Also would be pretty happy to provide the S15 with a full Standalone and wire it you only need to pay for the labor just gotta drop by

# Niatross :
You're making an absolute asian hotchpotch out of those RB's there and i gotta hand it to you for that! Using whatever you have and keeping it as cost friendly as possible 🙂)
AND HOLY HELL A SUB 50-SECOND TSUKUBA LAP! (lowkey setting that as a benchmark to beat on the E46 OuO)
Overall, great progress on the builds my man! cant wait to get done on the E46 and go for a duo-Tsukuba run!

When you constantly living on a budget that's probably how you work on your car 🙂)
Man I'd love to have a trackday together with youe E46, can't wait for the moment it's ready to roll again! 😉

# Buzzsaw :
Damn, 59 sec? That must be hell quick Lancer. Seen your S15 turning, very nicely.
I'm sure, selling your homemade stickers would be helpful for your project.

Sure it is, especially with stock bodykits all around 😃
Thanks for the kind words for the S15 as well!

I'd like to do that, though I haven't had a shop yet.........

Welp, to be honest I still have to drive like a madman to achieve it......felt like being ascended in the process 🙂)
And it's quite difficult with my Evo still on stock bodykit sooo not a lot of aero (um, the mod only has stock kits)
Welp with your magical works you've done, I'd say do it man! 😃
And of coure I appreciate your offerings like always, thanks man 😃

In some ways my Evo reflects the GC8 built by Naoki Takigashira: It's streetlegal (though whether if it's also a daily is debatable), not a lot of aero tunes (only a 22B-style widebody and custom mirrors) and a hell lot of power (555 BHP, has been increased a bit since). The car usually lands itself at 56-58 seconds territory.

34 going strong i can say now its a pretty fun ride

Soju

That's a really nice look on the 34, and the Evo is just looking perfect as always 😃

Niatross

Great progress on the builds again man! 😃
As Sleepy just said, the 34 sure does look like a fun ride already. You may need Coilovers like ASAP tho XD
oh and good to see Silver Queen finally sitting on a set of bigger wheels. It was basically a necessity ever since the car started pushing good amounts of power

As I approached the last corner, I took a deep breath and pray for pretty much everything quickly. Then it is time to enter the competitive territory.

Around 10 minutes later, rubbers starts to fullfill the track. A good time to cook the tyres to their maximum, then. Just don't throw any early traffics please!

Always be steady but go into the steps thoroughly 🙂
