V$ Radcoon's RP

Hello everyone. I'm Radcoon (got that nickname ages ago). I lived my past 24 years in Brisbane Australia. I work for a Outdoor company and will spend the next 3 years in Tokyo. As I sold most of my stuff including my lovely S15 I got 20.000V$ left for a JDM Toy. All I have now is this. So while browsing the used car marked I found a decent Supra MK.IV in the classifieds. This guy, guess Japonic was his name gave me a good price on this so tomorrow I'll head to Osaka. Thanks for watching! Spoiler

Lets do this massive friday update thing. But... where to start?
Allright. First thing. I made a move and got a store share. Basically just to keep the stickers and stuff at one place. The other half is a Custom Clothing shop.

I am there usually between 6 and 8 pm every evening. But call first just to make sure.
It might be also the last pic of the cresta like it is right now. 😉

Moving to the AE. So during the days with some help form my people here, I installed a Toda Exhaust System which is ended with a N1 Muffler. It took a lot of bending to get the 1JZ manifold matching but it is in place now. The exhaust I grabbed at upgarage for a quite good deal so I am am happy with it now. But not yet satisfied.

The ECU still needs to be adjusted and half of the bits in the interior are still loose. But as we plan a visit to southern circuit I better get shit together...

So let's hit over to the Osaka Trip. Luckily skip was also heading to MACKAY's place so we shared fuel and I've been able to travel in comfort and not caring my sht with the train.
We arrived in the afternoon so still plenty of time for work and even more to fool around with MACKAY and Erwin. The Cage of the RPS was done and almost all the interior back in the car. Which again surprised me. But slowly I just notice that this is another level of work and quality so I get used to it (ok... I'm still stoked tbh).

So they arranged some space for me to put in my Tein's and just after I picked up the tools, two of the guys started to work on my car as well. No words...

After those been in and adjusted, thx again, we jumped into Erwins ER34 and man, he handles the thing even worser than expected! Nah, just kidding. Hell of fun. And yes... MACKAY and me been holding hands. No need to be jealous! 😉 Talking about Erwin. I gotta say it's really great to see him around here. He's actually sucking info like a sponge and is absolutely excited. His rides became also another step forward! I think skip might agree as well.
So rest of the evening we spend with Asahi and Sake (two really good dudes) and as I have a place to crash in Osaka at a special Person's I showed up today around noon.
Got the RPS back together.

We kind of hang in the shop for a while then. Helping here, fooling around there... Just before I headed back to Tokyo. Tomorrow... EBISU!

Oh... last but not least. The Cresta in it's shape just now...

# MACKAY :
Congrats on your new store man! I am very happy about that! Oh, and btw thanks for those stickers!
Also thanks a lot for choosing our shop once again, you know that we ain't there to disappoint our customers! Eh, those coilovers.. How much time did it take to install all four? Like 15-20 minutes? We definitely know how to save "some" time doing things haha.
Ohh, my man, I see that you made a move, congrats and don't fuck up, because you know.. B)

Can't wait to spend some time in Tokyo now, we are definitely coming next week!

Oh thx man. I like it a lot and in a couple of months I might run it full time. We'll see.

20 Minutes? Damn... it took me an hour to remove the first one. While your guys almost started putting stuff together.

Try my best not to mess up.... B)

# skip :
Congrats about the shop like Mackay said. If I get this practice car I'll also be at Ebisu so I'll meet you there for some dori action 🙂

Thx buddy! Oh that is nice. Another exciting day to look forward to.

Me and Mackay are going on the Wangan tonight and man , I'm really hyped to see how his R34 pulls , that thing's got a lot of horsepower !

Thx Fam. Whenever you come for a visit to Jap let me know. Would be great to meet up.
Yeah, the work they do is just outstanding. Worth every penny. I might say this is the same level like RWB, Kidsheart or MCR.

EBISU

So small update on the RPS13. After I came back from Osaka I went to pick up some bit's I got on yahoo. Some wide steeleeees and a quite okay Gias that had rails for the RP on so a easy install.
I swapped the pair of gram lights I had with some Longchamps XR4's so the RPS sits on 15" now.

If you know someone with a pair of XR4's let me know! Well I also went a bit sticker crazy during the night. 🙂
Oh and I installed the Nardi i had left from the AE 🙂

Early morning met with skip and we headed to Ebisu. It was not as crowded as we expected. Maybe 15 cars at Meihan? Plenty of space!

I never been drifting with skip and is was pretty surprised! Nice to watch. Hard to chase! 🙂
Sadly most of the time I suffered a bit on heating issues. Maybe because I had to push it really hard to catch up. Idk yet.
Of course some shots been taken on course!

Ha! it might look like we're close. Actually I threw my self in, and skip had a smooth line!

Well and here we go with the afternoon shot....

With some illegal tire condition 🙂, I headed back as I wanted to visit some garages and see if I could source some race stickers!
Which I did. 🙂 Shop gets updated during the week!

I'm really glad to see you and skip ripping it at Ebisu , maybe I'll join you guys with my ER sometime in the future ! 😉

Dr_Zoom

S13 have so much smokey, be careful with SR20 they easy break if you have overheat problem.

MACKAY

Both of you did really great job at the Ebisu, I am sure that you will get used to 180SX in no time as I believe it is a little bit different than drifting an 86'. I should really start preparing my GTT for drifting activities as I really want to do proper drifting again..

Takes time buddy. Good thing are worth to wait for.

So guys. Saturday Ebisu Sunday it was Southern circuit. Met up with skip and we went for the 4 hour drive to reach サザンサーキット.
We met up with the other guys and had a nice set of 11 AE86'S running the highway. We arrived around 12 and spend several hours on and off the track.

So i am really happy with the JZ86 🙂 Plenty of power and the weight distribution is not as bad as I expected. I ordered camshafts and a aftermarket bridge which should arrive in a couple of days. So We should bring the 1JZ a good step forward.

Keep you updated. Still stuff on the car I am not 100% with. I think there are some supra and a Skyline i need to compete with.

Here is at least one shot of skip's AE.

Back the evening we took out the engine of the GX81. I should get a transition soon. So we could fit in the 1JZ on this one.

So far. That's it from here. The next days I will she the S13 some love as we should get high welcomed visits from Osaka. So long... cheers.

Oh, I see that you guys been traveling a lot haha, you make me jealous of your drift track days.. I should really step up my game and build the drift GTT faster.. We will come to Tokyo whenever we will have time, not sure which car I will take, I might take a seat in Erwin's R33 or I am thinking of taking Family Spec BMW wagon lol.

The guy with the Skyline collection is jealous. 😃 amazing. Nah Buddy just come over any time. So we can hit Ebisu for a day.

Update time Lad's.
Well What happened. We had Erwin over. Simply a great weekend! Lot's of car talk, lot's of BBQ! Took him for a spin around Tokyo for some sticker hunting. So I think he know's a couple of the guy's here now so it makes more sense for him to come over more often 🙂

Car wise...
The Trueno is almost in pieces and will head to blasting soon.

Next couple of weeks I'll take the engine to MACKAY so the guys can do they're magic to make it as new as possible. No crazy Swaps on this one.

Talkin' Swaps. The 1JZ AE is on the Market. I am happy with the result overall. But at this point I force my "supra" issue. Idk what to do next. It turned into a crazy thing. And I hope the new owner will love the little thing as much as I do.

The GX got his engine in place.

With the help form Erwin we installed a used Set of AP Racing Brakes and a 4H convertion of the Wheelhubs. Simply to install my nice "new" Longchamps... 🙂
Thank again buddy!

I got some over fenders which we aligned and I think some welding will go on during this week. So I look forward to a complete redo of the Cresta. Wide and loud and mean!
MACKAY started to work on an exhaust so I get to Osaka soon!

That is basically it. Well the sticker shop runs like hell also thx to you guys! If anyone has special requests let me know so I see what we could do!
