IDW Expert Member Group: Members Posts: 129 Member No.: 46,063 Joined: Nov 19th 2015 Location: manilaPhilippines | to be honest, the reason why I got interested in fast cars is because of Initial D. I first saw it in 2001 . I watched the second stage first. During that time my car was a Rav4 two door, not your typical drift machine. I tuned a 2007 wrx sti to 440hp until I blew it and became a head ache. bought a Carrera 4s , drove it till 2012 until Gtr's started to pass me in the straits. Like Nakazato, I upgraded to a gtr after experiencing defeat . hopefully I will not crash it like he did. Image size reduced, original size: 3264 x 2448. Click here to view the image in its original dimension. it is stock except for the Takeda Exhaust and rims,. no plans in tuning it. |

It's a fun way to show off your stuff while simultaneously warding off any nay-sayers who might call you out on being the exotic enthusiast you claim to be. Just slap some common groceries (thus the 'bread and milk', though feel free to use whatever you have on hand...or use it as an excuse to go for a drive!!) and your username on that sucker and snap a photo. I'd say 'welcome to IDW' in Tagalog but my ability is the same as my impulse control--nonexistent. |

It is a Ducati Superlegerra, I used to have the Panigale R and S though. I am a motorcycle and a car guy . I can not just have one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRHWAVRnWU4 It is a vid I made with my 848 years back with my Subaru sti. after having kids, I have been driving more on the week ends than ridding motorcycles so the reason why I am now more car oriented is that it is a bit safer compared to motorcycles. There seems to be a rumour about the r36 going to be released in 2018 but hey I've had the gtr since 2013 so using it for 5 years before the new one comes along is not bad. and when the r36 comes along I will get it too This post has been edited by r35gtr on Nov 22 2015, 11:14 PM | ||

Superleggera is just a lightweight 1199 Panigale. I'd like to know how much you spent on that bike, considering only 500 were ever made and I've seen very few that are actually used on the street. Those mirrors are a rare sight, because that bike is meant for the track. | ||

IDW Expert Member Group: Members Posts: 129 Member No.: 46,063 Joined: Nov 19th 2015 Location: manilaPhilippines | pricing here in the Philippines is different compared to the states. I bought it here for 4,000,000.php and with a conversion of 44php-1$ at that time , it costs 90,900.00us$ compared to the us price of 65,000us$. it is production number 404/500. I will post the pic of the triple clamp and picture it with bread and infant milk as Nomake Wan pointed out to me Gtr is also priced differently, I know it sells for 115,000$ in the states but I bought mine for 168,181us$. it sucks paying third world tax. |

My uncle owns his own travel company. Mainly does flights to and from Mex/US... mofo's rich as fuuuuuuuu~ Congrats on having kids man. Girls are great, boys are hell, lol. If I have some, I'd definitely want 2 girls. xD
Sell that Nissan > Ship that Impreza to Star Road Tokyo > Tell them you're the Pinoy Bill Gates > Profit!!
If I had the cash brotha... I'd be all on that i,Robot MV Agusta like Tom Cruise on sake~
Like Nomake said... You... do realize the hilarity of said pastry given you live in the Philippines and most of the people on IDW are in America, right? I'm gonna post a can of beans when they ship the Soobie~ This post has been edited by xiao_la on Nov 25 2015, 01:00 AM | ||||||

IDW Expert Member Group: Members Posts: 129 Member No.: 46,063 Joined: Nov 19th 2015 Location: manilaPhilippines | actualy the subbie is already toasted, I tuned it aggressively until I started to have problems with Cyl 4 a cosworth longblock was installed. I reverted it back to stock and sold it. Motorcycles are fun and all but now that I have kids . I chose to just drive around on my back favorite mountain road. sort of like my cave time. About the twinkies, if I were going to be electrocuted tomorrow. I would like to have a box of twinkies, a box of whoopers and a box of strawberry whoopers with orange soda. You guys from the stateside do not value what you have in your convenience store, you got the best junk food in the WWWWOOOOORRRRLLLLDDDD!! Back to topic: with this Nissan , I am finished with my plan which is a bolt on exhaust and some ADV.1 Rims. I will not tune it any more, the tuner in my area will act like your best friend but when something goes wrong, he will avoid you like you are a zombie. I will post more pics tommorow |

moon bunny Group: XIAO Posts: 5,735 Member No.: 13,323 Joined: Oct 4th 2005 Location: Update Profile | hahaha, yeah N1's correct. My bad I should've specified... yeps, I ordered a BRZ a couple of weeks ago and it's shipping in January. I'm a total frijoler~ (as opposed to mayoler?) except for some reason my complexion came out white, lelelel. Guess it helps my great grandpa was from Barcelona. xD Sorry to hear about that sexy blue WRX man; something about a black CF hood on a rally blue McRae body makes my mouth water like Tak thinking about... what does Takumi even have on his brain besides clouds?? Anyway Tak probably drools in his sleep~ lol, cave time!? Duuuude, I haven't heard the phrase man-cave since MTV Cribs. Now if you have a nice little garage full of Snap-On's like scarface from Wangan Midnight... oh my gosh... now THAT'S A CAVE!! American combinis are indeed hella gewd mang, but not the greatest in the world. Oh my golly gosh... what I wouldn't give to have a Lawson's chock full of onigiri and UCC canned coffee and Evangelion merch here in the US. Oh gawd,,, I've heard Japanese combinis sell Uranium-235 isotopes~ Also... can your R35 dash do this? |

We fatties gotta fat! Haha, everyone always likes everyone else's food for whatever reason. We all have good food! That sounds like a lot of tuners though, where everything's good until you actually need them to stand behind their work. Most aftermarket shops in general are the same way. Granted it's tough to know from their side if the parts in the car are quality and will stand up to how the car is tuned, etc. Sure, it's their job, but sometimes things fail or partially fail and can mess up a bunch of other stuff in the process. As an example, if a boost controller stops opening all the way, but the owner doesn't have a boost controller and doesn't pay enough attention to hear the difference in say 5psi worth of intake noise, that motor is going to blow up, and that's not the tuner's fault, but they'll get blamed for it. Everyone blames the tuner, always, without fail. Especially the guys who put the cheap parts in their cars. So it's easy to see how they'll quickly become jaded to the blame. | ||

the new look of the R36 doesnt have the skyline look anymore. Its like they saw what europeans were doing and completely ditched being japanese. | ||
