Unhappy Time to say goodbye

After months of blood sweat, victory, and laughter, it is time to say goodbye to my Evo MR . My cousin offered to buy it for a very good price that I cannot resist and promised me that the Evo will still remain as it is and not be downgraded. Presently she runs on a JUN 2.2 4G63 Race engine and bested a record of 9.7 at the 1320. Though I am sure I'll still be able to see her, I'll miss driving her.

In exchange, I'm coming up with a new project car. I had placed an order for a 2001 Nissan Skyline GTR R34 Vspec II from Freed, Japan and probably get the same treatment as the Evo did . I wanna own something rare and a machine every boyracer dreams of having. can't wait until my new baby will be delivered.

I'll surely miss my Evo but then again, some good things never last.

It is a LHD original Euro-spec MR. I had no plans of selling it until my cousin offered to buy it for a price I trully cannot resist.

Just to update you guys, my friend Komoro-san sent me some pics of used GTRs that he can offer me. Here they are:





After deeply thinking, the black R34 with the Nismo hood and Nismo rims may be my choice. All I have to do is just to modify the engine and get it converted to LHD. Black GTRs are rare and are an absolute beauty!

Either one is beautiful, but I would have opted for the black one, too!

I wanted a white one at first, unfortunately, I saw two white GTRs in our roads so I opt to go for the black.
