Alain’s 2012 Build – Week 5Alain’s 2012 Build – Week 5
Week 5 of my 2012 S14 build was all about painting. Prepping interior and exterior parts for paint and applying that beautiful coat of deep purple and white.

Rather bought than built!Rather bought than built!
Last year I spent my spare time rather on backoffice topics at Speed Industries, trying to push many different projects and max out our internet presence as well as our social media activities. As you may have noticed, you didn’t see me that much on track and espacially not with my own car. Priorities just went in a different direction and I really had to admit that the Hachiroku might be a unreliable old shitbox for my dedicated purpose.
I really loved the car as what it was – but modding it more and more to have a even better fun-track-car it became insanely expensive to maintain! I destroyed nearly every part in the drivetrain – multiple times – during the time I tracked the car a lot and spend unresonable amout of hard earned money on fixing it for the next trackday.

Hi guys
The current theme of the blog is our builds going on these days.
So I want to share some insight on what is going on with my cars.
At this point there is still a lot of work on various angles but I hope with some help of the team that we pull these off.
Alain’s 2012 Build – Week 4
And we’re making some more progress! Engine bay is now fully painted and ready to be mated with the engine soon.
Builds at the moment
Hi guys
It got a bit more quiet around the blog these days, sorry about that.
Fact is we are spending a lot of time on the different builds we have going on. Almost everybody from the team is building, rebuilding, fine tuning, upgrading or whatever on his racecar right now.

A big bunch of parts arrived, so it was time to get serious on the engine.

Now that the box was in the garage, the work could begin. I was curious as hell, whether the engine was in good or bad condition…
So open up the crap!

Last week’s teaser entry introduced you to „how it all started“ . Getting the car home was already great fun, although it was almost stock, sporting 160-180hp.
