All the salespeople went car crazy and we sold a sh!itload of cars within the last week. On the luxury models (a.k.a. Lexus) the customers get to customize their car (I hate optional parts...). And that's what I've been doing lately. The races are always good. I've only raced once, and it was against some guy with a 3S-GE Levin. Basically, an easy win for me down the worst road in Japan... Iroha-zaka. Some guy in a BNCR33 wanted to race me. I said sure, I can probably destroy a heavy R33 GT-R at Iro. Then he says something about Wangan, and I was mad because R33 vs. AE86 on the straights... yeah anyways. I finally know everything about my dad's engine now. Do you ever remember the MOMO SW20 that used to race in GT-300 JGTC? Well, there you go. It's that same 3S-GTE but tuned for street useage. It pushes EXACTLY 615ps @ 8900rpm using 2.5bar of boost. I want it. He still won't let me drive it or at least let me ride with him... As for anything new... I met a kid with a white FC3S with a 13B-REW swap. He just moved from Great Britain and he stopped by my shop when he noticed my car. I think his parents bought a new Toyota. He brought the car from GB and it's really powerful. So I showed him around, and he told me that in GB they do touge battles, but I find that hard to believe. I've never heard of it. He lost his first race against a RPS13 with a stock CA18. I saw him race, and all I saw was understeer in a car that pushes over 350ps. Later on, I found out he was using the stock brakes and suspension. So I helped him out finding parts. He has a lot of money, so he made sure he got the parts overnight. I told him I would do it for nothing, you know, just to get him started with his racing, but he insisted that he pay me. And he gave me a lot of money, and payed for my girlfriend and I to go out to dinner... real nice isn't it? But, I did the suspension in 2 days, and the brakes my dad helped me on so I can get it done quicker. He's doing alright, but the kid needs some serious driving skills. So he begged me if I could teach him while he came over my house, and he said he would pay me, I refused because that's just wrong. But he HAD to, so I told my dad to teach him because I don't want him to piss on himself when I pull non-stop drifts. Kid has so much money... I told him to buy a FD3S but the FC is lighter, so it works pretty good. Other then that, nothing is new. I'm thinking of getting the overfender for my car, but I'm not sure if that will help me out. It's more weight. Oh yeah, my bumper was destroyed the other day. I hit a rock while drifting... tore that beast right off... then I ran over it...
Hey Tom, don't be a stranger. You know anything about this?

I've seen them around. Only once on an AW11, but it's a popular aero tuner around here. They're still available, but they're costly for a non-carbon aerokit. Not many places carry Buddy Club... mostly VeilSide, Ab-flug, etc.
Great talking to everyone again... this was another one of my big posts, deal with it.
