Guess who's baaaaaaaaaack
Sooo... after over half a year (192 days to be precise) i'm back!
What happened while i was away? A lot of stuff!
Since last time:

Blacked out
I've put the 180sx together again for like the 60th time.
This is my new setup and so far one of the best i had in my opinion, kept the D-Max kit and changed up my wheels for these new work LS207 18x10 that i bought for 2.2k V$ from the Auto Saloon Magicke guys! Wheels are pretty nifty, seen these sets before in JDM VIP sedans and figured i would throw them on and be a hotboi, kinda afraid of curbing them out i'm gonna be honest but style comes first. Got my usual go-to set of tyres Toyo Proxes for 380V$ from UP GARAGE.
And after all was set and done i took it for a drive.
I still feel like i need a wing to go for the complete look, but i want something agressive this time around, maybe something that i already had and sold that i may or may not get again.
Also some new parts for the SR coming in the next days so i'm gonna have a lot to do
Finances: 12199 + 940 (last monday update) - 2200 (WORK LS207) - 380 (TOYO PROXES) = 10599V$
My 180sx was going through a new stage, but i got caught up with work and some family issues and barely got to drive it since April, only got it out one or two times from the garage until like a month ago. I haven't been at drift events either and both my s13 and s14 have been collecting dust since i've been driving around in my shop van. But what has happened in the meanwhile is me saving up a bunch of cash and with that being said things are going to get spicy from now on.
What did i do for the last month? I've (yet again) reworked my 180sx, this time making it the ultimate spice machine!
Got it fully repainted white on the exterior, paiting the interior, enginebay and rear in a bright pink. Did it all in the shop since one of my collegues is a professional certified painter all i had to buy was the paint which was like 450V$ in total (both white and pink paint), here are some pics of the progress:
I changed my front D-max type 3 front fenders for Origin Labo type-2 (250 v$) fenders because i cracked one of my old D-max ones in half when i went through a pothole that i didn't spot in time. Origin also went ahead and offered me a set of front splitters that im so hyped on running in my front bumper! 😃
Also purchased full clear tailights that i found in a trip to UP GARAGE, meaning that i have a set of kouki tails for sale so hit me up if anyone wants them i'll sell them cheap.
What else? Well i (once again) purchased a do-luck type 2 low spoiler after selling my last one i ended up picking another one up because i dig the style of the wing so much, that set me back 699V$ from Yahooauctions.jp. Got a new custom made exhaust as well (250V$) as a d-max roof spoiler (150V$ with shipping) to replace my old one that flew off at the last drift event i took my car too (didn't kill anyone but i got a lot of shit for it)
After putting all the shit together i got myself a set of SSR Agle Minerva in 18x10 +32 all around for 2.3k V$. Still have my Work LS207 i just changed the tyres for the Minervas and i don't plan on selling since i might run them mismatched.
Last week i drove to a friend's garage to apply the brand new vinyls that were printed by RYO Japan (one of the best designers out there that supplies most drift related liveries in japan) and made my car 10x better than before and applied a few window stickers which leads us to this... the ultimate setup i've had in this car, i'm so hyped to go to drift events that are coming this year with my friends from the Cooldown team!
And i'm looking for a new project car so updates on that will come soon! As well as waiting for some more shit i ordered for the 180!
Finances: 10599 + 25782 (192 days without updating the weekly V$) - 2300 (SSR Agle Minerva) - 450 (white and pink paint) - 150 (d-max roof spoiler) - 250 (origin type 2 fenders) - 250 (custom exhaust) - 699 (Do luck type 2 wing) = 32282 V$
