Took some pics yesterday; 56k beware!

I finally got to hang out with my friend and his sleeper Cressida, so we decided to take a few pics and stuff. My other buddy with a 240sx showed up a bit later and joined in for a few pics as well.

First we hit up the beach right after sunset, so the pics are kinda dim.





Next we hit up a parking structure after a brief cruise around town.

John, I need to get that front bumper you have... Next thing I'm getting I promise...I keep telling myself that, but it never happens. Yes, the Toyota Crown, so...who won?? Did you guys have a run? Providing your car was running, right, cuz I know you had a cooling problem, right? Wish I was there man!

Chris, haha yeah it's a total sleeper. Aside from the Supra wheels and the fmic, you'd never guess this thing was fast. It's no contest my friend's Cressida won man. I leaned out my fuel pressure a bit so it wouldn't run so rich up top, but until I get a new chip, I'm toast haha. After 4800 rpm, I have no power because the afr drops to 10 flat and you can hear the exhaust note change as raw fuel starts to enter the pipe.

Nismo, dude I can email you some of the original pics if you want since photobucket compresses the files if they're bigger than 600x800.

Veyenyl, that Cressida is packing a 365hp 7m motor with close to 400 lb/ft of torque. (high 390's if I remember correctly) He let me drive it, and holy crap that thing just pulls like a beast. When we were cruising around, he beat an s2K and a turbo 240sx by several car lengths. He shut down at the top of 3rd, but it was nuts seeing his 4 door family sedan just kill them like they were DX Civics.

Bleach, haha +18 hp? Shoot I need that! I'll take some NOS and VTEC inside stickers if you guarantee that they will add 40 hp.

Too bad I you didnt post up your car last week. My buddy just sold his pair of clean longchamps for $170.00. I would have picked them up but I just got a new set of swastikas and rubber.

Thanks for the comments and stuff. I couldn't reply back since I was traveling. I'm now in Japan for a while, but anyway, yeah those are Longchamp XR-4s up front. They're getting harder to find now that the current trend is towards oversized wheels. I'm hoping to find another pair while I'm out here. That, or find another pair of SSR meshes to match the rear.

Haha, I'll look around for those super crazy Tokyo drift meets, and I'll also keep an eye out for Bow Wow's ugly *** green box-mobile.

There's a Japanese restaurant I go to a lot here... it has a bell over the door that sounds just like the bell on The Grudge.

Hopefully there's no "grudges" where you are staying!
