[delete]V$ Olibob's Ricer Roleplay!

JACsterandOlibob

Hi! I'm Mark and I'm originally from the UK, but am studying in Fujiwara Japan as a student. (Now back in the UK)

Over the past year or so, I've been saving up money for a car. Overall, I've saved to a grand total of 20,000v$.

With this money, I planned on buying a daily car, as cycling to school everyday is not the most fun thing to do at 6:00am.

I have been looking on AutoTrader for the last few days, and I saw someone called Fićo (juicybrate) selling a newly done-up Ar11 MR2. The asking price was 4500v$, but that was a bit too steep for me, so we decided on 4100v$

Here it is:

Thanks for reading. More updates coming soon.

(I'm trying to keep this RP as scale as possible)

What is your plan to mods on MR2?

JACsterandOlibob

Not too much really, want to keep it daily-ish. However I am looking at some 14" rims and low coilovers.

Hey guys.

I've been mostly cleaning the MR2 today. I bought some aluminium piping from Halfords earlier on, and I've made a make-shift cage. There are no safety benifits from it, however. Just for looks!

^^New 'rollcage'

^^Bumpers sprayed with Halford's own gloss black^^

In other news, I realised I didn't want to do too much to my MR2, therefore I'd be getting bored soon; because of this, I've bought a project car: a Ford Focus ST!

^^After Purchase^^

^^...But it's had better days^^

^^At 10pm, I decided to take off the wrecked bumper and quarterpanel.^^

I have also ordered a new muffler, should arrive this week!

Spoiler: 15,900v$ - 90v$ - 10 - 3,000v$ = 12,800v$

90=cage
10=paint
3000=car

That's all from me for now!

I never seen Focus ST on Japan. :o

It was imported by a previous owner, who had a whole collection of LHD Fords. Unfortunately he died recently 🙁

You can use Volvo T5 part for your Focus ST engine parts, both is same engine.

Hi guys,

So a big, and rather sad update today. I'd just received my Ebay muffler, and it sounded amazing. A little raspy, but I knew I could fix that with some new O-rings. However, when I went out to test the sound around Fujiwara, a drunk driver drove down the wrong way, and smashed right into the front of the Focus!

Here's some pics from after the crash:

The Focus will be on the Used Car Shop sometime today.

Hope it repairable

I don't have the time and money to repair it at the moment. With setting up my own business and all. I'm gonna sell it on vBay for 2000v$.

Ask your insure...

I did, but as the other driver had no insurance, I got no compensation! How unfair is that!

What shame...

Hi guys!

New progress on the MR2. Painted the rollbars two days ago:
And the wheels!

Today I took her out for a spin around the local mountains. She did quite well:

That's all for now!

JACsterandOlibob

Hi again! Today I went to the DVLA and now I can legally drive my car!

Added 3 minutes later:

Also, I managed to sell my Ford Focus ST for 2000v$, so..

14,800

What a nice MK1 man ! I had MR2 Spyder RHD when I was 18, was a blast, never had opportunity to drive or even sit in one of these MK1's as yours, goodluck with your build and also sad to see your Focus go, setback is a setup for comeback ! 🙂

Front plate need higher, speed bump or pot hole will eat reg plate. o_0

I'd rather it look good than be functional. Worst of all, I'll have to buy a new plate. No big deal. Form > Function

Thanks mate! Always loved the Mk2's. Where are you? Maybe we could arrange you to drive it at some point.

Hi again!
Earlier this week I ordered some Volk TE37's in 18" from EBay. It cost me 2000v$ including tires so quite a good price. The tires are nothing special, just some EcoTech ones.

Here it is:

Later on in the day, I took it out for a spin:

I managed to sell the other rims for 100v$ a piece so...

14,800-2000+400=13,200v$
