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

Well i also thought about a funeral for a moment while we were jumping in that Corolla. 🙂) Regardless, it was one hell of a good time, i could hardly have that much fun with any of my cars! This proves that you don't need a lot of horsepower or grip to have an epic driving experience. It also reminded me of the times when i did this kind of shit regularly, back then i couldn't get my hands on a car with more than 100hp! You also kinda tempted me to build a rally car, the AE86 would be a good candidate for that... :rolleyes:

And you drove the Lambo like a boss, i could see that you got the skills from the time attack events! I wasn't really used to the R33's new setup too so you got me 😛

It's the third week of the USA trip and things went ultra wild over here!
This time, we got ourselves a SEMA-grade build, an impromptu rally stage and another trackday!
I also discovered and experienced two different poles of engine power!
Let's find out what exactly happened by checking out the update below shall we?

Wew finally update done! Let's see how my wallet runs this time:
Spoiler:

Initial V$ = V$ 17,079

Paycheck = V$ 940
Mentions x3 = V$ 750 (thanks Benny, Franklin and Ramalhinho!)
V$ at the moment = 17,079 + 940 + 750 = V$ 18,769

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

"Okay let me rephrase that. If both of us die, Ziga pays for our funeral"
I laughed really hard with that dude lmao
Really good times dude!

Really good times indeed, I didn't expect to be able to drive a Lambo! 🙂)

Well please do, a rally car or an offroader would be a great addition to the garage! 😃

And thanks for the compliment, I didn't think I could tame the bull but I actually did! Admittably it was a bit sloppy though, at least from my own views 🙂) :cheers:

Well, poor my back as well 🙂) But yeah it was fun as hell! I don't really want to do this in my Silver Queen so with the Greco on my side I could throw my guilt out from the window 🙂)

Low Power to the People

It's the final week of my second American trip! And there's no better way to spend it than having a trackday innit? 😉

But rather than running high performance cars as people do, this time I and my boys run some otherwise stock and mundane daily cars.
And oh, the track action didn't just end there as I finally experience my first test & tune as well!
Welp without further ado let's jump into the update! 😃

Ziga's Lexus proven to be one hell of a rowdy speedboat. At times Ziga would throw it sideways for showboaty fun........

With the one on the other lane finished their staging process, it's time to rock on.

Lights went green and here we go!

It might only be a quarter mile strip but it felt like a long time has passed by then, made worse by my rival passing the finish line quicker than me.

Next up is Franklin and his Bimmer, lining up for staging. He did a small bit of burnout before going to the start line.

Lights went green and Franklin goes off in a small flurry of wheelspin.

Eventually Franklin finished his run. It looks like he did it slightly faster than me........

Light went green and Ziga goes in a flurry of wheelspin.

Some time later, Ziga crossed the line, clearly being faster than I and Franklin did. Yep, he took this one in his bag onece again.

Lagano

Yeah i was all over the damn place with it! 🙂) But i guess i had an advantage on the straightaways. Anyway, that was one hell of a day with you boys! Like i said a few times, sometimes the best fun is with the most cheap and beaten up cars you can get! Good that you found a buyer for the Corolla just before going back home, you even managed to make a bit of profit! Just don't mention the stupid shit we did lmao.

Jesus christ that poor Greco again .STOP BEING MEAN TO THE GRECO , THE GRECO HAVE FEELINGS TOO !

But hey at least I didn't abuse it as hard as I did when i brought it to the backcountry roads 🙂)
I didn't expect it to survive a whole day of trackday though 😮 And now that it's been moving away to another hands, now it can rest in peace 😃

# Leopard13631 :
Ayyyy that beater challange was siiccckkk 😃 OwO foxbody?

All thanks to Franklin who raised the idea to do it 🙂) But not gonna lie it's actually a fun thing to do, a huge refreshment after hundreds of hours of driving performace cars around a racetrack. And yes, I've got myself a Foxbody in Japan! It's quite a long story on how I got it here from USA, but I've did some works on it when it was still in USA. As you've guessed, I never drive this thing as it hit the Japan shores, hence it's never seen ever since.

First off, picking up where I left on the S15 project and finally doing the aero works!

Well let's jump to the update to see all the actions happening shall we? 😃

Congrats on bagging 5th in Class B6, and 5th overall!! All of the R&D and fine tuning on your Silver Queen is finally paying off it looks like! And Kaede is looking L O V E L Y . S13 shoot soon? HMMMM HIHE

Can't wait to see the S15 all painted up as well haha, damn I wanna go widebody on my strawberry now 😮

Also thank you for inviting us to Ebisu Summer Drift Matsuri!! And thanks for going to the BBQ at WestKyo, some super super fun times, we should do it again!

Soju

I can see that the Evo and your driving skills are waaay better than me! Also the vert and S15 looking so fine too!

Leopard13631

Oh wow 5th? Daammnnn gj biggie 😃 I love how s15 looks with this kit so far ahh and the vert uwu

Lagano

Great job on the track once again, my man! I wonder if the S15 will surpass your Queen's performance, but looking at that mean bodykit i know you'll make it a proper contender eventually. And the vert is really a harmonious machine now that you dropped it a little, you'll look like a boss driving that thing. B)
