Leaving the Belasco international show!

Been a great show, props to the organisers for putting on such a fun event! I've spoken to lots of very cool people, with some very cool cars

And then there were 3.

So the people I've met at the Belasco international car show has been incredible! The most notably I was approached by an old gentleman, he asked me about mine and my uncle's TAZs, he then mentioned he had one that had been left in disrepair he was contemplating getting rid of. I asked him what he wanted for it and I bought it! (for $1000). I put new fuel in it, swapped the battery and pumped up the tires and it drove home straight away. 2nd gear doesn't work, the air filter doesn't look good at all and I believe said CCCP on it, yes it's that old. gotta order some bits and actually register it, will be taking it to Smash! auto repairs to deal with the rust while I wait for parts to arrive. The rest of my parts for uncle's daily TAZ are nearly here, so that'll be great

Joined by uncle at the Belasco international motor show!

So uncle's very much enjoying his new car, but asked me to do a few things to it. First was swapping those old USDM bumpers out for EUDM ones, a shift light in the interior, and some individual throttle bodies on there. I've ordered a couple more bits for, and they'll arive soon.

Expanding my TAZ collection

My new TAZ arrived today, from all the way out in Utah! It's a USDM (didn't even know these were sold here) 1300 on 55k miles, and I got it for a good price! I've already ordered some parts for it, (new Bumpers were a must), I've also met a new individual who has some parts and potentially a TAZ for sale.... more potentially coming soon on that

Driving home from the shop for the last time....

Hey all, just wanted to say I've officially sold easy auto tuning to u/pitiful-associate-259 . I was driving home for the last time, and thought I'd record it. Probably for the best that I did seen as Belasco traffic decided to be it's good old self again, I was admittedly a bit distracted on the road.

So the lawsuit against me was rejected by the court, very glad, but I've decided to sell my business. Tuning was a great business and everything, it made me very happy but I've decided to sell it. I'm auctioning the business+workshop, includes 6 single car garages, a building with a waiting room and bathroom, and I'll put a comment with the start bid (50k USD) and please reply to the most recent comment response with your bid. I will be ending the auction 24 hours after the comment is published.

The Pessima is back! So I... uhh.. did a few minor upgrades, we now make 507 ib-ft @8100 RPM and 375 hp @6100RPM, the engine redlines at 9 grand. the rear suspension has been rebuilt, (I did the front when I had the car in storage), I now have a carbon hood and trunk and a big ass spoiler, naturally. I can even run a lap of Belasco circuit (from a standstill at the start line) in 1 minute 52 seconds. The suspension parts, hood+trunk and the long block are courtesy of Lo Performance, thanks guys!

Basically the title, I wore a grey fleece in the Coop and some kid approached me as I was looking at the reduced, I turned around confused and he said "oh nevermind", this happened again later, would be funny to bring an Xbox headset along and see how many more people think I'm a staff member 😭

Welp, I'm being sued. This guy that I tuned his car for him (bolt on turbo plus built the engine block) he crashed street racing with a buddy, (The driver was rushed to hospital and was pronounced dead shortly after) and his parents are sueing me for 100 grand, something about "providing the means of death". Wish me luck everybody, I sure hope I can find a good lawyer.
