Prophecy

Cheers guys, much appreciated :)
 
So i'm pretty sure that anyone who knows me, knows that the NSX is easily one of my favourite cars of all time. Decided to blow the fairly exorbitant amount of money and get one. Modified to meet the class limit, but it didnt take much really. Sitting on a staggered set of 17/18" white (thank the lawd!) TE37s, its pretty much the embodiment of perfection to me.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Is this not an epic interior- especially when you consider it's from 1992?

 

 

 

High resolution.
I'll have some on-track shots of this soon :)


 
I also got started on this TA22 Celica, but I was mid-way through, went off and did some other stuff intending to come back to it, forgot that i hadn't changed the setting where the xbox turns off after an hour of inactivity... I'll have another crack at it soon lol.

I'm only really happy with a couple of these shots anyway, so maybe it's for the best.


 
As always, feedback is greatly appreciated, and thanks for taking a look :)

Schweet.
 
I finally bought some wheels. I've been searching for these wheels in the right specs for over a year now, finally got hold of them. Bottom photo is a photoshop of how it will look when refurbed.

Cheers mate, its great to be back :)
 
So here's a couple more of my favourite cars.

This FD3S RX7 has an LS1 in it, btw. Would have preferred to drop an RB26 or 2JZ in it, but oh well.

This BRZ is my starter car. Lots of fun has been had in it already :)

And I also did a set on the Q50 Eau Rouge. As nice as it's factory red paint is, its always felt like a blue car to me...

Let me know what you think :) And if you have any requests, just ask.

I hope I haven't disappointed :) One of my first cars (have quite a few more, now), easily one of my favourites. I adore the facelift version of the new MX5, I was so happy when I found that they had updated it in Forza. Mine, however... well I decided to throw the 370Z's V6 in it. And I love it even more.

Dat quality loss :ill:

Maybe send the images to 4chan or Anonymous and see if they can hack it on there :lol:

I will not catch up with this later today (Sunday). I promise I won't.

You were saying?

Here is how I want it to look later :)

Darin passes on questions from the ISR.tv forum to the Creative Director and Studio Lead of Forza.
 

Sup guys, the car came back from the paintjob a few weeks ago, the rear of the car is not almost complete, not lowered yet though, that will be done when the car is nearly complete..
Also cleaned up the wheels the previous owner gave me for free, will be on the car until I buy other ones (when finished).
 

 

 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 

Decided to try something a little different. I'm pretty sure i've tried stuff like this in the past.
 
 
 
(in your best over-exaggerated Japanese accent please)

90's JDM Suzuka Challenge

This is a collection of 10 of my favourite Japanese cars, test driven in stock form by me, to see how they go. These cars were pretty cutting edge in their day (some much more than others).
 

1992 Toyota MA70 Supra Turbo
One of my favourite Toyota land-yachts (of which there are many). This thing is boaty, no doubt about it. Even with that, its not overly understeer or oversteer prone, suprisingly balanced, easy enough to kick sideways enough to get you around a tight corner but hard to lose control in a normal corner, unless your going way too hard.
 
Best lap- 2:42.886
 

1999 Honda AP1 S2000
The S2000 is grippy, but once the tyres are heated, it is easy to overdo it in tight sections. Having such a high red line is great, combined with good gear ratios, it accelerates well off the line and out of corners. Fun to drive, somewhat oversteer prone- quite easy to accidently kick sideways.
 
Best lap- 2:31.961
 

1995 Toyota SW20 MR2 GT
The MR2 has a bit of an understeer problem, but still grips if you are careful with it. Very easy to get comfortable over a lap, then overshoot the first corner... Is easy to unbalance and send off the track in the opposite direction to where you wanted to go. Bad gear ratios. Still fun, but tuning helps.
 
Best lap- 2:36.333
 

1992 Toyota ST165 Celica GT-FOUR
On cold tyres, not a particularly fun car to drive. Slow off the mark due to turbo lag, lack of overall power and long gear ratios like the MR2. Once you give it a lap to get used to it, and warm it up, its a blast for a D class car. It inspires a lot of confidence, it grips pretty well, and if you go hard it lets you chuck it around. Reminds me a lot of my Corolla actually (not my Levin, i'm sure it's better than my Corolla- havent actually driven it yet!).
 
Best lap- 2:39.831
 

1997 Nissan R33 Skyline GTR V-Spec
Unlike most, I actually prefer the R33 to the R32 and R34 GTR Skylines. Did you know, despite it being bigger and heavier, the R33 lapped the Nordschliefe faster then the R32, in its pre-release testing? As expected, its AWD system makes short work of the tightest corners, pulling out hard in first gear at Suzukas hairpin with no loss of grip. There is a little turbo lag, and its gear ratios are probably a little long but it still accelerates well.
Best lap- 2:30.043


 
 
 
 
:) hope you enjoyed the first part of this article, ill have the second part up later in the week.

Ok, but after fiddling with yourself jump on the game and see what you can do. :cheeky:

OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH LAWDY! Apricot Hill, amongst other amazing things. Yep, getting this soon. Awesome shots btw.

Going to be getting a set of stock 'ninja star' wheels for it in a few weeks, will be painting them so I made this comparison collage. The polished silver one is standard.
 

 
Not sure which one... I'm leaning towards grey, but I like the black and gold one too...

You need to get 2 of these Harley
 

 
/hint ;)

I'm obsessed, yes, I know.
 

:hi5: for the mighty car mods sticker! I'm actually watching one of there videos right now.
This looks like its going to turn into quite the project! Cant wait to see when its finished. I know I had a wrench throwing good time doing my engine, hopefully yours goes better.

I had almost clicked the Submit Post button with a 'Congrats to Rob and Pro' message but I thought I'd better double-check that everyone voted correctly. Better luck next time Matt

Got the grill back in today, and fitted the new white parker bulbs- except, thanks to another case of Toyota's genius logic, the bulbs are flipped on the Levin. The bulbs I bought that would fit any other AE92's parker lights actually fits the indicators, and the indicator bulbs on any other AE92 fit the parkers. Oh well. Brighter indicators... I'll get parker bulbs when I get the car back in a few weeks lol.
 
Also applied the rest of my stickers :)
 

 

Did my first proper mod today. Painted the tired, faded grey grill. They actually came out chrome, which was awesome back in the early 90s, especially because its only plastic- lightweight AND classy. Not so great 20 years down the track when it just goes grey and horrible. (Hopefully you've all picked up on my sarcasm...) So I did what anyone interested in aesthetics would do, and painted it gloss black.

After

 



 
No clear coat yet, i'll do that tomorrow, so its had enough time to dry properly. So happy with it, cant wait to see it on the car.

:O Just found this photo on google- this could very well be my car before it came to Australia- cant tell if it has a sunroof or not. Same wheels, etc. Also note the chrome grill.
