Super Import Nights

SIN was a build up to the following week's heart pumping F1 weekend.

Was rather disappointed with the cars on display. Where is the SUPRA?

This year's event was spiced up by a drifting Altezza who never got tired of doing donuts. He was drifting for the whole Sunday afternoon. Maybe not as he needed to top up vitamins for his rwd monster every now and then.

Don't think you'll wanna speed up when you see this in your rear view mirror along the NSH



Pride of the land of the rising sun



Nice brakes



Looks like a 1.4 tsi with this bodykit on.

Preferred last years SIN as they had just launched the R35 gtr and the hype was just mind boggling.

I think i would still go down next year anyway... can't imagine missing these events even after negative feedback.

In the process..

Brakes are still in the process of bedding in.. basing to today's drive, i guess it'll take another 3 to 4 days for them to reach it optimum potential.

It is no where near racing BBK but it just requires modulation to get more brake feel. Should be more than enough for my driving habit and street cruising.


Had to carry these 45kg stock brakes back home cos of the massive clattering noise coming from the boot. Took 4 trips to transport these.


I prefer this more subtle look


Newer and sleeker sibling in the background

No more mods.

Installed R32 bbk ytd..

Still have the spongy feel but after proper bedding in, i'm rather sure pedal feel will improve.

Rotors are 345mm, compared to stock 310mm. A huge difference and its also aesthetically pleasing. Calipers are close to twice the size of the old one and it made the red one look like a rear brake.


Look at this puny rotor and caliper.



The colour scheme is quite off now but i guess only i care. So this will be the last mod.

This mod is more of a safety mod, cos it will be too late when u need it

Did some bedding in at lck.. looked like a moron when accelerating and braking but made sure no cars were behind before carrying out this idiotic but necessary task.



My old look (rear)


Time for another photoshoot.

It will not look at flashy cos the R32 Blue won't be as outstanding than the GTI Red.

No more mods. And time for some serious saving.
