^2012 GT-R awesome seein that out there. owner's name is Eric. really awesome guy gave ride alongs to whoever wanted to experience the ride.


^ My friend Matt and his Xrunner.

Want one of these so badly! Such a great truck, and so fun to drive. Not as fun as the Celiiii though

what do you mean it's not fun? it's faster than the celica lol. drove one and it's very nice.

it's pretty fast around the track. He or his truck i should say is somewhat banned from the S.C.C.A national autocross until they find out what category to put him in. last year he almost blew his competition away. he was competing in the lowest class of S.C.C.A goin against regular minicoopers and civic hatch backs and cars of the sort. lol

Actually it means Grand Touring but Gran Turismo is what is used in like Europe. But in the end, i believe Grand Touring derives from Gran Turismo so i guess we're both right.

so this past sunday i went on a car cruise around town (Tacoma, Wa). ended up at a pretty cool arcade downtown called dorky's arcade. most expensive game there was only 75 cents. had tons of fun.

here are some pics

new strut tower brace.

so i had a choice to hit a dog or hit a curb. I chose to hit a curb.

on the lift at work


the wheel


the lower control arm & ball joint


i've managed to get replacement parts and got my car back on the road. everyone said i should've hit the dog but my instinctive reaction was to avoid it. i'm really glad that the wheels weren't the st205 wheels.

oie that looks painful

my co worker said that i'm lucky i'm not dead. if i hit a bump just right the whole thing would've came apart. the only thing holding it together was the control arm being wedged into the dust shield or backing plate if the brake disc.

What kinda struts? If you're going autocross, I'd recommend urethane swaybar bushings too. With mine, I can kick my rear out without using the handbrake now.

they're just stock replacements right now. i'm lookin into getting a set of ground control coil overs with a set of adjustable Koni shocks. once i have enough money i'll be able to take first place overall instead of third. lol but yeah the car handles pretty well for stock replacements and the alignment set up make the car tail happy. It's about 2.5 degrees of negative camber in front, close to negative 2.0 in back. as for tow settings i'll need to take a look at the alignment sheet.
