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

Ooo, you got Merc van. I can see you got a parking problem because of your van size, every time I was driving past you.
It does remind myself, goes back to the UK, my dad has smiley Ford Transit, ex-Royal Mail and he has current about 300k miles and it runs strong.

r34 looks nice but needs a turbski

Soju

That is a really huge van compared to kei vans there!
And that was a great sanpatsu session on the track! It’s impossible to do it on my NA 180SX 🙂

Niatross

Ayeeee euro-anglo towing boi has arrived!
That instantly looks like it'll do a perfect job at transporting a car on a trailer, and the cars parts on the cargo space! 🙂)
Also the Drift sesh with the R34 looks quite fun! ngl im yet to throw down the E36 at a drift-famous track

# Lagano :
Nice job getting that van, now you can finally take your S15 to the track. And you're planning to get a JZX?! All of a sudden you have way more cars 🙂) well for now i'd rather invest in the R34 instead. I get you, it might be too clean for a drift car but you could get a RB25DET for some better drifts, or just smaller rear wheels lol. If i remember you got it for pretty cheap so just drift the hell out of it, make it the Silver drift king! 😃

When you find cheap cars the urge to get them is pretty much unbearable 🙂)
But yeah, indeed I could simply mod the HR34 further. Even the S15 hasn't done yet 🙂)

Well parking was indeed a nightmare, almost squished the Tico when backing up 🙂)
I was going to import a smiley Transit, I like that thing 😃 Sadly it has less towing capability compared to the Sprinter

Glad you like it man 😃
I'd like to keep it NA though, turbo job would be handed to X110 if I could get one

ikr, it's humongous and spacey 😃
Eh, if I could do it you should be able to pull it much better 😉

Welp you gotta unleash your E36 man, it's much more complete than the HR34 imo

Rad update fam! First of all

CONGRATS ON (MORE THAN) 250 POSTS! WELL DESERVED!

And WEW. Sprinter things YEETAGE. What I most especially enjoyed was both Silver Queen and the HR34 getting some track time!! Silver Queen fared really well! The HR34 was good too I can see but, the body roll and straight line power just prevented you from hitting your maximum slideyboi potential haha. Put my RB20 in there already, let's hear her SCREAM!!

Aaaaaay finally you're here, thanks fam :thumbsup:

It's really good to spawn both on different weekends and purposes, truly a bi-polar yet equally joyous experience! 😃
That massive body roll scared me a bit but also a bit helpful. And oh, in fact back then I made a bit of experimental stroker kit for the HR34 by fitting your RB25 internals inside the RB20 inside the HR34 🙂)
No turbos though, so yeah, a bit down on power. Oh well, time for more power indeed! 😃

You are definitely motivating me to start participating in time attack events with my Mustang. :thumbsup:

Glad I could inspire others in a good way! 😃
You should do it if you want to measure the performance of your Mustang so far, good luck with it man :thumbsup:

Renaruto

Ohhh yeah thats what I want to see haha. Definitley have to visit Nikko circuit again! Also Tsukuba actually does have a lot of drifting but not on the actual track but more on the big skidpad next to the main roads 😉

Man you should hit Nikko with your FC! 😃
Yeah indeed, most sideways action happens at Gymkhana complex, which I would visit sometimes but never drove inside. Speaking of which, lately there are people driving FWD cars on PVC-wrapped wheels.....kinda wanted to do that 🙂)

It is time to do a grip trackday somewhere other than Tsukuba Circuit!
But that's not only it, the shopping spree has continued.....and I immediately fell victim to it.
And here comes the very first visual mod I've ever done.....that isn't a wheel!
Welp let's see all the shenanigans that has happened below! 😃

And then the final section comes in. I tried to push the car hard........

Welp, I should get literally anyone to do a grip day at Nikko, not only limited to just a drift day. Trust me it's worth it! 😃

Aaaaah yes finally my update done, topped with bankruptcy and nutty trackday!
Let's see just how broke I am at the moment:
Spoiler:

Initial V$ = V$ 6,402

Econo Car Trailer = V$ 2,600
Collins Performance Short Shifter = V$ 315
Recaro Pole Position Seat = V$ 792
Apexi Power FC D-Jetro Kit = V$ 911
Wiring Specialities RB-S Chassis Wiring Kit + SARD 900cc injectors + Haltech WB1 CAN Wideband Kit + Grounding Kit = V$1,168
Nismo Duracon Shift Knob = V$ 53
Chase Bays Hydro Handbrake = V$ 220
Ultra Racing Front ARB for ER34 = V$ 230
Vacuum Infusion ER34 Rear Wing = V$ 109
VS Garage Paint Service = V$ 250 color=#CC0000[/color]
V$ at the moment = V$ 6,402 - 2,600 - 315 - 792 - 911 - 1,168 - 53 - 220 - 230 - 109 - 250= V$ 4 with V$ 250 debt

Don't worry, I'll be fine :')

That's all my updates for now, thank you for stopping by and see you soon!

Niatross

As of right now, i think its safe to say my current favorite car of yours is the HR34
Something about its simplicity and overall look appeals to me a lot!
But anyways, good progress on everything as usual 🙂)

That really good laps time, but are you sure Silver Queen suspension is okay?

I know, right? With the Silver Queen moving up to the higher league, the HR34 fills the gap as a simple, humble car yet also always ready to go to rock 😃

# Buzzsaw :

Don't worry, as I said Silver Queen is fine and unfazed 😃
It's a rally-bred car after all 😉

This EVO 3 is something that I will forever remember from this site <3

I'm trying to do the same, and I can see myself getting better at it but it's nowhere your level :v.

It's just a matter of imagination and creativity I should say, I just like writing my thoughts in general 🙂)

Silver Queen's always ready to rip and score lap times! She's so fit as always 😃

But if you've read Phonexius's latest update, yup, currently I'm on the stateside right now with couple of friends! I'll be updating as soon as I could.
