This thread just gets minty-er by the post love it!
Oh I dunno man I love it in white. But saying that colour on Mints car is cool as.
I can totally see where you are coming from. I thought the same way last year. But now I want it painted, so that it looks outrageous.
Haha I done that twice on mine too, always wears at that point!Quote:

Fabbed up the mount for the pas cooler
http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3tjyflyj.jpg
And connected all that shit up.

Not connected the oil cooler yet because I got a wrong size oil filter, and also because I cant be bothered to rush this job as the drift day is this saturday.
Swapped the fancy teal wheel for my old trusty auction purchase from last year. Cant beat this wheel. The other one hardly has any dish and I always hit the wipers and indicators with my fingertips, also im too broke to get a spacer. Feels like home now.

The car was supposed to be taken into paint on Sunday 3rd May, then it was pushed to 10th May, and now my hopes of having it painted for this weekend got shot down as its going in for paint this Sunday :( Oh well, guess im gonna rock the matte look this weekend and would need to give it a once over with sandpaper again before paint.

Finalboss was so much fun, hard to remember all the details now. But chilling and driving with every internet cunt was awesome. Even Team Tekno rocked up

Damn! Its been a while since Ive been on here. A bit busy with life, any spare time goes into the tezza.
Past two weekends we hit up the track for the first time since Finalboss. Mr D and Jites are having car issues, so it was just me and Mint. Gave us a good opportunity to have some practice driving with each other. Never quite had the opportunity to do that since there was always something going wrong at past drift events, which resulted one of us being in the pits fixing shit. But that changed.
We managed to make our way to Crail and then Driftland this Sunday. The weather was good, but it was a bit crowded. As a result we only got about 5 runs in, in total. But it was still an insane amount of fun. I dont think the driving was an issue, it was more of a case of gaining trust and confidence throwing the car in behind people...rightly so as it nearly ended badly a few times.
Few photos popped up since then

And as usual, some driver footage from both cars

Fair play lads. Any Irish trips planned
Not sure man. We are struggling to make it to a drift event thats 3 hours away as a team. I can imagine a trip to Ireland would take more preparation than we are capable of, hahaha.
was following this on driftworks, loving the team setup and liveries on the cars, the amount of wheels ye must have!
Absolutely love it! Irish LADS take note this is how an Altezza should look and be driven!
Thanks fellas.
