Just so you guys don't get bored...
So, I was thinking about modifying my Xmods Nissan Skyline into something nice that's not too hard (since I am a beginner in doing this stuff) and looks nice. So, here it is.
This is the SuperAutobacs ER34. ER34 chassis, R34 GT-R body. I think it's not such a hard car to make on an Xmod, since it doesn't feature so much. Such as, the front bumper canards, tow hook, mirrors, spoiler, bonnet, those weird things sticking out on the rear bumpers sides, rims, and exhaust pipe. The paint shouldn't be so much a problem either, along with the decals. Now for the vinyls, they're going to be hell. The rose pedals are differently shaped from one another, meaning A LOT of scaling and picture editing. Or should I just paint them on..? Idk, maybe I'll leave them out or add some on. The rims, I'll have to improvise, since Xmods nor Mini-Z's carry these type of rims, but I found some that resemble it a bit. This project is not yet 100% confirmed, but I'll still give it a go. Also, if you think that I shouldn't make this car and make another type of Skyline, just tell me in the chat box or comments below. It should at least be at this level, as in not too hard since I'm not too experienced with making custom Xmods and such. Otherwise say, 'Go for it' or whatever you want to say. (Don't request the Signal Skyline R34 because that's also a possible project into the future if this one is completed first) Well, wish me luck!

Xmods Custom Toyota Supra (WIP) And some others...
Hey, guys! Just posting some more random stuff for you to hopefully enjoy. So, today I have for you my Toyota Supra that I'm making a somewhat D1GP styled car, or hella-flushed. So, this IS still a work in progress, and will hopefully have more to it once done. Just as a reminder, this is only for show, not performance. (Hopefully performance into the future). Anyways, here are some pictures of it so far (along with some other Xmods.. :3)
This is my Subaru Impreza in the best condition it can be in (hopefully). Basically, mint condition and hopefully will stay that way. It's got aluminum rims and lug nuts, a new racing engine as you can see by the image above this text, an aluminum battery case, and aluminum front dog arms.. or.. whatever they're really called. This car is meant for good performance. Trust me, this thing is FAST. It also steers very well. It has soft slick tires for grip, and a new antenna (because it was damaged before). This is an Evo chassis, btw, not a Gen. 1, so this body was modified on. In total, I'd say it was around $120 in total. I didn't spend it all at once, it was over time. :P You may be wondering to yourself why it says 'Flipped' on the package card thingy. Well, I'll tell you why. This engine needs to be 'flipped', meaning that a certain part of it needs to be moved... well, flipped in order to get it running properly. So, since I can barely do anything and I usually manage to screw nearly everything I touch up, I asked them to do it for me. So, now onto my garage-like shelf.
Here it is! My Xmods garage with some other stuff! So as you can see, I have a a Subaru, Skyline, Supra, Honda Civic (riced out), V-Spec R35 (custom painted, looks like crap up close), and a 350Z. I was originally planning to get a new body kit for the 350Z. Eh, guess it never happened. Maybe into the future it will. Anyways, you can clearly see that I have GT5, NFS Most Wanted, and Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2, which hopefully I can eventually snap in-game photos of and begin playing it again. Also, I have a Lego's Lamborghini Gallardo, a few Xmods body kits behind the TXRD2 case and game, Xmods rims, parts, etc. Oh, and that cheap stop light thing my friend gave me for my birthday. Thanks for nothing, -----. Yep, not telling you his name, sorry :3. So anyways, the Subaru runs on the newer Evo/Street chassis, the Skyline and Supra both run on the Generation 1 chassis, which don't handle very well, and I just have 3 other bodies. Heck, maybe one day I'll sell some of these out once I make them look better. Sell 'em to you guys, I guess if you want them. Well, say in the comments below or in the shout box if you want more updates on my Xmods. See you next time!
Hopefully you thought that it looks great so far ^-^ since those are custom decals. As you can see, the rims and front lip look a bit cheesy at the moment, but I'll update those soon. Also, I plan to add an exhaust to the car (hopefully tomorrow) and update on it. Also, the massive camber in the back will be fixed. Since this is a show car, I removed the shocks to reduce ride height. Though I'll fix that eventually, or just leave it as it is because I never actually drive them. In the pictures you may have noticed some other cars. So.. those cars are: Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Takara Tomy D1GP Team Orange Mitsubishi Lancer. Just letting you know, Takara Tomy is another company, not an Xmod. My Supra has: Custom light covers, license plate, decals, cheap front lip (to be updated and made out of carbon fiber.) Now to show you a little bit more of my mini-collection.

GT5 Updatez
Hey guys. So as you know my PC's not working so well and it's disabling me from playing my games, so I can't update anything related to ROBLOX or GTA SA. Don't worry, it's soon to come. As an alternative post (might post more of this in the future) I've reverted towards GT5. So, I'll be showing you how my cars are doing from time to time. Now, let's take a look at what we have here.
Mazda RX-7 FD3S Spirit R Type A '02
Now this is a beauty ^-^ (My opinion of it at least XP) So anyways, this car's meant for grip and is my primary FR (Front engine, Rear wheel drive) touge car. It runs perfectly in single-player, but for some weird reason in multi-player it acts weird. Take this for example: In single-player the car has slight under-steer but grips well like it's supposed to, and in multi-player the car slides a lot and over-steers, as if the car's running on bald tires. This car runs on Sports: Hard tires, 500PP (Performance Points), and 316HP/6500rpm to meet touge regulations. It also weighs 1051 kg, which is pretty light. This FD3S has slight engine modifications such as a new Sports Exhaust Manifold, and a new Intake Racing Air Filter. It has a spoiler for down-force to increase grip, new light-weight alloy rims, a carbon fiber hood, stage 3 weight reduction, and window weight reduction all for weight-loss. Also the suspension is tuned to my grip settings. Like I've said before, this car grips in single-player, but is meant to compete in online battles on the touge. So, basically: Single-player = Grip, in order; Multi-Player = Oversteer/no grip, a complete mess. Further updates are to come! :3
Nissan Skyline GT-R V-SPEC II NUR (R34) '02
Here's my recently tuned Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. In my opinion, (and hopefully in yours) I love it. From the BBS rims to the carbon fiber hood. Just awesome. This is meant to be my 4WD touge car. Anyways, I thought about how I was going to tune this, and figured that I'd need to take some weight off of the car since the GT-R under-steers, as do many other 4WD's or FF's (Front engine, Front wheel drive). So, I added stage 3 weight reduction, a carbon fiber hood, and a window weight reduction. That calculates to a total of 1264kg. I also adjusted the down-force on the stock spoiler just a little bit to improve grip. Just the the FD3S, the engine is also slightly modified, consisting of a Sports Exhaust Manifold, a Catalytic Converter: Sports, and a Sports Air Filter, which produces a total of 354HP/7600rpm. The GT-R also has a total of 500PP (Performance Points), and runs on Sports: Hard tires to meet touge regulations. This car also has modified suspension settings to my liking, and a Torque Sensing Center Differential set to: Front- 25 and Rear- 75. This was done to reduce under-steer. In single-player the car under-steers a bit more than in multi-player, which is what I was aiming for. You can basically floor it across each corner without over-steer or having to brake as much as before. I'm still tuning this and my FD, since they both have their flaws. Anyways, I hope that you've enjoyed this post, and comment or type in the shout box if I should continue posting posts other than the topic of ROBLOX. Thanks for reading, until next time, guys! :D
