V$ BigSmoke's Bizzare Builds & Life

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

The Rise of The T H O T // B A I T E R

Whomst'd've thottin'??!!

Heheh, I know it sounds a bit clickbaity, but trust me, it's not about me baiting thots. But rathen than me, it was my friend......
Also "Oi Smoke why you haven't updated for half a week?" Uhh......there are a lot of tasks I had to do IRL (6 assignments and 5 projects in 5 days, imagine that. Also tried to do 3D modelling in Blender as a part of assignment, ended up quite nasty). But finally as all those things has been over for now, let's jump into the RP. I can tell you, there are some exciting things that happened this week, including the thot-baiting session. 😃

11.45 pm, lunchbreak time (though I mostly worked at home,lol)
"Yo,Edo-kun,I got a good news"
"Yea,tell me.You sound so excited"
"My car has been returned from the secret project!"
"Ah yeah yeah the sec-wait it is done already?"
"Yup!Today is the time I can finally reveal what is it!"
"Now that's what I want to hear!Always wondered what sort of car you bought and more importantly, what the hell is the secret project you talked about"
"Obviously I still can't reveal it on the phone, you gotta see it by your own eyes!"
"Ah okay okay, what time you'll be back from the office today?"
"Around 3 pm. Are you free by that time?"
"Most likely. Papers for next 3 days are almost done here"
"That's nice. Meet me at the Tsukuba Uni south parking lot"
"Alright mate. See you there at 3 and have a nice lunchtime"
"You too mate, get some nice lunch"

Turns out it's Rantaro and his new car! He opened the window and greeted me.

"So this is your new car Rantaro-san? Nice one! A custom Merc!" I told him in awe.
"Ah, um, Edo-kun, the plot twist begins here" he said while pulling a naughty smile.
"Eh, what do you mean by plot twist?"
"I'll explain that later. Let's move to another block, it's a bit hot in this block. Follow me in your Evo"
"Ah okay, hold up"

I followed him to another parking lot several blocks away. And indeed it is right, the air is much cooler there for some reason. Time to check what Rantaro bought!

"So, Rantaro-san, how much do you bought this Mer-"
"Uh, Edo-kun, first of all, I should admit, this isn't a Merc."
"What do you mean it's not a Merc? It has that grille and start emblem it should-"
"I told you it's not a Merc!"
"Huh?" I replied him in pure confusion.

justify

We talked until sunset arrived. But before leaving the spot........
"Ah, Edo-kun, you've done your work right? Got free time tomorrow?"
"Well yes. What's the matter?"
"My work shift will only last to 1 pm tomorrow, fancy a joyride with me?"
"Oh, good idea. Can I refill the Evo beforehand?"
"Uh, no need to. I'll pick you up in the Merc II, we'll ride together. And oh, I have a side plan"
"Ah, so nice of you to let me ride in it. As of the plan, what is it?"
"I believe the Merc II could attract girls. I believe they'll see a value from an euro car, let alone a modded one."
".....aaaaah I get it Papa Rantaro!" we laughed for a while. "But how would you attract them? Also, you got a GF man!"
"Psst don't tell her!" he hit my head as we laughed. "Guess we could try schoolgirls at after-school hours"
"Mmmmmm, sounds dangerous, but I'd say I like an adventure"
"That's the spirit, boy!"

Yep, in other words, we are going for a thot baiting session the next day! We said goodbye to each other and parted ways to our own cribs.

[01 Nov 2018]

I took another bus back home, and immediately charged the new battery. An hour later, I installed the new battery in the car.

justify

Fun fact: This update took 4-5 hours to write. Quite a long one, innit? And it doesn't even focused on my Evo!
Here's a TL;DR version:
Spoiler:
29 Oct: Paycheck received, re-registration for my Evo completed
30 Oct: My friend Rantaro introduced his new car, a Mark II GX70 I dubbed Merc II due to Merc face swap it has
31 Oct: I and Rantaro went for thot baiting session. It was a success
01 Nov: I changed my battery. Also received gear synchro and HKS coilovers

And if you haven't noticed, my balance was affected too:
Spoiler:

Initial V$ = V$ 7,727
Paycheck= V$ 415
Optima battery + charger = V$ 323
V$ at the Moment = 7,727+415-323 = V$ 7,819

And finally, a bit of OORP:
Spoiler: 1. I saw some RP uses license plates, and some didn't. With the DMV thread closed, does this mean I don't have to?

Do you guys like the 'guest build'/'friend build' featured here? If you do, do you want to see more of them as I improve the Evo?
Do you guys also like the idea of music inclusion in the thread? Starting from this update, if I include a song in the thread (in this update case, Ice Cube-It Was A Good Day), I'll include a link to it if I found one

My next update will arrive in at least less than 48 hours. Thank you for stopping by this update and see you around!

Lagano

Your friend has a good looking Merc II! The amount of attention you got at the school definitely proved it lol. All those "adventures" aside, looks like your Evo is getting quite a performance boost! Hipermax coils are a good choice. Any more upgrades planned?

Spoiler:

It's not really necessary but it's a good thing to do to keep the RP realistic, because if you think about it, it is necessary IRL!
For sure! It adds some variety to the story, this was an interesting update even if your Evo has barely changed haha.
If you know a song that you find relatable to the content here, go ahead 🙂

Thanks Lagano! 😃
It is a bit of a long list of upgrades for the Evo to be honest. The ones that are certainly going to be done are:
Spoiler:
-Front seats
-Wheels, tires, and brakes
-Intake manifold
-Camshafts (or simply tuning the stock ones)
-Turbo

Of course they won't be done at once. Don't want to ruin my balance quickly lol.

And possibly these too, when I have enough money (some are already mentioned to have high prices in previous updates):
Spoiler:
-Fully adjustable tranny and LSD
-Engine head
-Engine block bore-up
-Subframes and arms

Again, they won't be done at once.

Also, thank you very much for answering the OORP inquiry! 😃

I've said it and I'll say it again, Rantaro is a genius for picking the face swap mod 😃

That Merc-Yota looks fabulous 🙂

Leg Day and Memories of a Tuner

Finally, here comes two of the major upgrades for the Evo: Coilovers and anti-roll bars!
And oh, I also did some little adjustments on the 4G63T engine........
Also, this was supposed to be a short update, but mid-writing I had some kind of idea boost heheh, tell me if you enjoy such boost 🙂)
Anyway I can't wait to tell you guys about it so let's jump into the RP! 😃
(additionally, I also added song links to the previous posts, namely the very first post and the clutch update)

[02 Nov 2018]

"Good morning, I'd like to inform you that this is the day. Are you there?" I asked politely on the phone.
"Yes sir, I'm here with my crew. Are you coming here?" he replied in a crisp voice.
"Yes, I'll bring my parts and come over."
"Okay good, I'll prepare my tools and workbay. Anyway, don't be too shy, you sounded a bit awkward. Loosen up, it's okay"
"Uh, okay, hahah" I answered, a bit nervously. "I'll come in 30 minutes, see you there."
"See you and be safe, young man."

justify

And oh, Mishima and Kei also did a great job installing the anti-roll bars. Gary and Nato meanwhile installed the gear synchros and checked before the car went off the bay if all parts has been fitted properly.

justify

[03 Nov 2018]
justify

Damn, 5 hours of writing really took it's toll on me! 🙂)
Let's have a TL;DR summary first:
Spoiler:
02 Nov: I had another shopping spree in the morning, then installed the gear synchro, coilover kits and anti-roll bars in a garage together with the place owner and his crew. The garage's backstory is quite touching; It's a tribute to his dead friend
03 Nov: With wallet going on diet after said shopping spree, I looked for turbo and intake manifold. Found a decent turbo, but can't pick a good intake manfold yet

And now, the financial aftermath post the shopping spree:
Spoiler:

Initial V$ = V$ 7,819

WedsSport TC105N (1 set) + shipping = V$ 1,500
Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 (1 set) + shipping = V$ 800
Dunlop SP Sport 5000 (1 set) = V$ 228
Endless 4 Pot Brake Kit x2 + shipping = V$ 420
Bride Zeta III x2 + shipping = V$ 1,500
Summer Yume Garage Services = V$ 800 (good thing I also worked with them)
V$ at the moment = 7,819 - 1,500 - 800 - 228 - 420 - 1,500 - 800 = V$ 2,511
I drained my cash straight away like a fool :facepalm: :crying:

Don't worry, I might have some parts for sale soon, so stay tuned 😉

With the financial disaster aftermath assessment over, this is the end of my update.
Thank you for stopping by and see you soon!

Whoa , this was such a good update ! Amazing work ! The way you write and go into detail really makes reading the update amazingly enjoyable ! I really really like it ! Good job and keep it up !

As for the Evo , ahh man ! It's evolving really nicely ! I'm more than sure that these brand new coilovers and anti-roll bars are gonna make it handle like a dream ! I also can't wait to see the new wheels on ! They're gonna make the car look so much better than these steelies ! As for the engine itself , I'm quite surprised to see the power output after all those years ! I'm really hyped for the power related mods ! I can't wait to see a bigger turbo on it though ! As for the intake manifold/plenum , the Hypertune one looks really high-quality , same goes for the Magnus one ! I would personally pick the Hypertune due to the fact that it's a 77 mm one , but since your budget went on a heavy diet , why don't you give the 80mm one a try ? Even if it's from Amazon , it's still 80mm's , so yeah ! The more air goes in the engine , the more power ! I'd pick that one , just to see if you can get some good power out of it , but if you do decide to switch it to another one , go with the Hypertune one , it looks really really good , but the price is kinda big on it. It's really up to you ! So yeah , I hope you're gonna make your mind on that intake manifold , and I cannot wait for a brand new bigger turbo ! If you're around the Osaka area , make sure to drop by my garage , I'd love to check out your car !

Once again , amazing work with this update , Ohira-san's story is quite touching , and I must say , you're really making me want an Evo ! I don't know though , who knows what might happen sooner or later ? Haha ! But yeah , I can't wait for the new update and more info on the installing the new parts you ordered ! I really hope you're gonna like the way the Zeta III's feel , I personally love them ! But anyways , good luck with your Evo , I'm really looking forward to what's next !

Thank you very much Erwin, I'm really glad you like the update! 😃
As of the intake, well, I just might trying it on, but perhaps I better save up for the Hypertune ones. And of course I can't wait hitting the track again after the wheels and brakes upgrade! Can't wait to sit on the Zeta III as well 😉

Winter is coming so why not get an Evo (or a Galant)/Subie (Impreza, Legacy, Forester, you name it)? I'm sure Muza (Niatross, has an Evo IX wagon) and Marc (Macaron_moon, has an Evo X) would agree with me (though I'm not sure anyone has a Subie so far). It can be a good winter commuter (though I know you've got the R33 and E36 for the job) or a dirt/mud toy! 😃

I might be visiting Osaka one day, the scene there is quite fascinating. And of course, I want to see Mackay's R34 builds, as well as your insane Kouki build! I'm a fan of those! 😃
And of course you can come and visit my crib if you're going to Tsukuba Circuit, my crib is just 18 km from there. I might cook some food and snacks 🙂)

Once again, thank you, thank you very much! 😃 :-X

Man.. Finally proper upgrades for your Evo! You did the right thing going for HKS coilovers, I have ran them and still run them on few of my and our cars, top of the game stuff, you won't be disappointed for sure. Also it will be interesting to see how your wheel setup will turn out with such specs and tires, Advans is awesome too even though I am used to R888's or R1R's and etc, but if it works for you then it works for me. Also those guys you went to tune your Evo did a good job and their story is very inspiring too, I love when such things have a backstory how it all started. Also if you are thinking about that intake.. I guess Icon's and my Performance Shop would be glad to "sponsor" and help you out with such thing, as long as you would rock our stickers somewhere on your car haha, so find the right one for you on our website ( go to nengun.com for a reference ) and send me an email. I have a good feeling and helping upcoming car guys like this is something that I must do. :rolleyes:

( I love the writing too, keep it up man ! Going into such detail is what we love, can't get better than this.)

Gee thanks, Mackay! So Potenzas are a rare sight here 🙂)

It's so kind of you for offering me, thank you very much. I might consider your offer when I'm going to Osaka. I mean, I gotta see the master myself 😃
But before that, I might run one of the aformentioned products. (I've got the reference I think 😃 )

I'm glad you like the update and my writing! Once again, thank you very much! 😃

Spoiler:
The last time I tried to make a paintjob in SLRR (with no UV, I believe there's a tutorial here. I tried on Robban's R34 back then), it ended up nasty and horrible :rolleyes:
But since the Evo has only a few bodyparts (and only stock ones at that), I might as well try again

Hot Seats and Hot Wheels!

(Most of) running gear upgrades has been completed!

I swear the quick delivery order option was worth it even if it is basically created a black hole in my wallet!
Another guest build appears as well!
I can't wait to tell you guys about this one! 😃

Ah yes almost forgot to show you guys how does the Evo look now. Aaaaaand here it is! Feast your eyes on the Evo for free 😃

Before I left the garage, I remembered that I said to you guys I'll show Ohira-sensei's Galant when I returned here. So I asked him about it.

"Sensei, is your car also here?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"Can I have a look at it? I and some of my friends are quite curious with it"
"Oh yes, sure. I've just cleaned it this morning"
"Thank you very much sensei. Um, I'll make sure you're safe by censoring the plate later"

Small Update: Size Does Matter

Turns out steering wheel size plays a huge part on driving. And offline shopping at the start of the month does have it's merit too.
Additionally, I'm selling some of my parts, have a look!
(NOTE: Crap, I thought I didn't update my RP for half a week. Two days warped quite quickly for me somehow)

T1 Trackspotting

(Uh yes I'm referencing that English movie)

Saturday is trackday! Finally got another chance to bring the Evo trackside again.
This is also an assesment to all of my new upgrades, so it would be interesting to see how it all turns out.
I also do some car spotting on the site, so uhh.....a bit of warning: A hell lot of pics. 🙂)
And finally, my wallet started to make a recovery......but only in short time

"CHEAP PARTS FOR SALE! HERE & TODAY ONLY!

IF THE OWNER IS NOT PRESENT, HE'S ON THE TRACK OR AROUND THE PIT LANE.
PLEASE WAIT OR CALL [my phone number] TO BRING HIM HERE
DO NOT STEAL THE PARTS, LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL BE INVOLVED FOR SUCH ACTION"

They're written both in English and Japanese by the way.

justify

The signal went green and I safely joined the track. Now here comes the assessment.

justify

With the general assesment done, let's move on to the next step, which is lap time score assesment. Here goes!

justify

"Excuse me, are you the owner of this stand?" he asked.
"Yes, can I help you?" I replied.
"I called you but you didn't answer!" he replied, with a bit of serious tone.
"Ah I'm sorry, I've just returned from the track. Look at me, all sweaty from scoring laptimes." then I checked my phone, and indeed there are several missed calls made by him.
"I see, it's okay sir, you're working hard today." he replied to my excuse, trying to break the tense he created. "Um, I see you have an Evo III. Did you just changed the suspensions?"
"Nah, just the shocks and springs. Do you have an Evo III too?"
"Um, no sir, I recently bought an Evo II to be exact. I mean, Evo I to III has the same base construction right?"
"Aah yes I get your point. Hey you're a lucky guy! Did you brought it here?"
"Well that's the problem sir. The original shocks and springs are busted, since it was in bad condition"
"Mmm I guess the previous owner was a rally racer or street racer"
"I guess you're right sir. Anyway, how much for the shocks and springs sir?"
"V$1000. Is that okay for you? You might bargain if you want." I offered
"No sir, I think V$1000 is worthy of that condition" he answered, refusing the bargaining chance.
"Alrgiht, deal then. Do you need brakes and front anti-roll bars too? I also changed them recently. And as a thank-you gesture for buying my shocks and springs, I'll let you decide the prices" I continued to offer my parts to him.
"Um, I can't bring the front anti-rolls home, sorry. I don't have space for them to carry by hand. But uhh, as of the brakes, can I have them for, say, V$400?" he replied.
"Wise price choice, deal!"

With the deal done, he thanked and left me with a smile. I also wished him luck repairing the Evo II. Man, I really wish to see said Evo someday.

With the rather lengthy udate over, I don't think there's a need for TL;DR version though. As of the cash however.......
Spoiler:

Initial V$ = V$ 2,486

VBox Rental = V$ 100
Sold Stock Shocks and Springs = V$ 1,000
Sold Stock Brakes = V$ 400
Sold Front Anti-Roll Bars = V$ 200
Sold Stock Seats = V$ 800
V$ at the moment = 2,486 - 100 + 1,000 + 400 + 200 + 800 = V$ 4,786

And finally, a bit of OORP:
Spoiler:
Besides paycheck, ROTM victory and sales/trades as well as garage income, what are other acceptable forms of income in VS RP? Just curious, and of course it is impossible to me to have a sudden, out-of-control financial boost obviously

Thank you for stopping by this update and see you soon!

Relaxation Route

Not much happened in the course of the week so far, as I'm occupied with work (here and IRL).
But this way I can actually think deeper about the Evo. I think I could finalize the remaining build plans for it.
And of course I need a hell lot of bucks.......And oh, I also finally had a chance to go to Tsukuba Fruits Line touge! 😃

Some time later, my intuition was proven to be right as at one section the bushes hid a rock wall. Damn, imagine what would happen if I hit those.

I guess it's time for the TL;DR:
Spoiler:
[14 Nov] I went to the Tsukuba Fruits Line touge for the first time. Was aiming for a relaxing ride, ended up being a speedy speed boy
[15 Nov] I ruined my financial status again not long after I saved myself in order to complete the handling upgrades

And then, my cash, which I ruined again:
Spoiler:

Initial V$ = V$ 4,786

Paycheck = V$ 470
Sold the rest of the used parts = V$ 775
Total shopping from RaceFab = V$ 4,100
Total shopping from Hardrace = V$ 200
V$ at the moment = 4,786 +470 + 775 - 4,100 - 200 = V$ 1,731

Hello darkness my old friend........

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