COMMENCING MASTER BUILD w/ @Grandea GTR

Please tell me there will be a thread for this!

The smoke smell sticks around for a while, but eventually it fades. When I got my old Blazer it smelled like smoke and booze because the previous owner put about 40k miles worth of beer and smoke runs into it over 8 years, and they faded after a few months.


Also, it was about time for some spring cleaning. Here's the pre-bath messView attachment 542588 View attachment 542836
This was like 2 days after a wash, so I figured it was about time for a fresh coat of wax.

A good amount of polishing on my car, and a fresh coat of wax on her and my buddies Fusion and we decided to set up for some pictures to show off the shine.

Plenty of rub marks from some extremely sharp inclines in some extremely crap parking lot. Also road debris took a considerable toll on her bumper over the past couple years.

And now for Instagram filters.

Also, and this is unrelated to the cleaning, the rainbow gods have spoken. My car is destined for greatness.

Beautiful. I love how it's a BRZ rather than an FRS or GT86. The wheels really make this car.
I love both Subaru and Toyota so picking what car to get would be hard.

A wet track day at Watkins Glen...

Thank goodness for the garages!

 

[Cale]

At least the new pavement doesn't have all the rubber in it yet. Should have more wet weather grip than before.

Yeah, and it's a lot safer now without the concrete patches. But there are still places that water builds and comes cascading across the track in rivers after a hard downpour. But once it starts to dry, the grip is pretty impressive. I only got three laps in on my Toyos. On my S-04s, in the wet, I was running a pretty good pace.

 

[Cale]

I love my S-04s in the wet. I've never tracked my car but even on the street I can tell they have impressive wet performance. Unfortunately I missed opening weekend so I havent been on the new track yet.

 

[ildd]

It's been so long.

was like "yolo"

made it back out without a major problem.


Also in exciting news I just found a 2004 miata engine with 26k miles soooo probably buying that in a week.

 

[Mrs Wolfe]

The Subbie with be a ton better than an Intrepid for those Wisconsin winters, too!

'Grats on the new ride!

I'm hoping it will be, for sure, thank you! @Wolfe has his Subaru too, and it has served us well although it would be nice if they plowed before noon.

Just got this in yesterday from Japanese Classics, and man it looks good. Such a good deal for 8k.







It even talks thanks to the credit card thing.

 

[Obelisk]

I can't tell what brand that is, but that thing just oozes luxury.

So cool! Even has tray tables like my LS400. What are your plans with it?

Nissan President.

 

[Obelisk]

That's a Nissan?!

Holy crap. Why didn't they sell them in the U.S.?

They did as a watered-down version, the Infiniti Q45. Back when I was in California we had one converted to a President.

...Darn. I'd buy one of these so fast, though.

G50 was great. Y33 was meh imo, they used the 4.1L instead of the 4.5L.

 

[Aki Ko]

When you look back into the JDM market for the 90s

you'll find a lot of desirable cars. Toyota Crown, Century, Chasers; Nissan Fuga, Cefiro, etc.
The Japanese likes to keep all of the goodies for themselves.

I dunno, it's my daily pretty much, but I do want to do stuff to it, new rims and such, would be a dream to get a Junction Produce kit for it, but that's a few grand away.

New wheels for sure! Enjoy the VIP car life.

Whoever put on those rims needs to be slapped in the face.
I'm talking about the Versa

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Do a bunch of work to it in an attempt to slow the oil leaks, clean it up a bit, and put some new wheels and performance tires on it and it responds by.. Pissing oil out even worse than it did before. Ugh.

Just needs Rally Armour mud flaps now.. And mostly likely even more new seals.
