What better way to show off a character's personality than showing off their ride(s)! Post some pics, explain their significance towards the character, or just post some cool scape photos. Go into as much detail as you want, or just keep it simple.

The "Becca Special" R34 Skyline. A 734Hp monster unfortunately known for becoming the reason why Rebecca Speed had to skip 2 races of the J-Speed championship.   |

(This article comes from a feature in XTreme Racer Magazine, January 2022 edition.)Jiang Tuning Co. EK Type RA-spec After her championship 2021 season, Risa Aoyama decided to celebrate the occasion by going back to her very beginning as a driver. Having not driven her Honda Civic EK for a handful of years, it would need comprehensive maintenance and a number of upgrades in order to restore it to proper racing condition. Commissioning the help of Jiang Tuning Co. based in San Pedro, this Civic was completely reworked from the bare chassis itself. The chassis was strengthened and reinforced, complete with Yurei Hugging Monster seats and harnesses along with an N20 Racing Equipments full racing cage to make it suitable for club racing events under the MSAA banner. The springs and shocks were completely replaced with Izumi brand racing suspension in order for the setup to be completely adjustable for every type of racing surface and layout, paired with a full Aoko Brakes sports brake kit and Astaroth sports tires to get it stopped in no time while retaining their longevity throughout miles of track use. Despite the seemingly radical racing overhaul the Civic has received, it is still tuned to be suitable for daily driving, giving a surprisingly good ride on city streets. A full engine rebuild would be in order after years of hard driving, and to further rejuvinate the K-series engine would come a Zolgear ECU and exhaust system with a Druaga aftermarket turbo to produce around 260 horsepower. Despite the relatively low figure compared to most other tuning cars today, the chassis upgrades that bring the car down to around only 940kg make it a rather potent aspect of the car, ensuring nimble performance not unlike the front wheel drive rally and touring cars of its era.  Speaking of rally and touring cars, the car gives off the impression of a racer from the outside as well, with an Arkbird front aero kit and Androgenesis wheels on all four corners to complete the look. The car now currently competes in multiple MSAA time attack events across the west coast, though there are plans to import it overseas to Japan and Australia. The RA-spec Civic is a wonderful callback to Risa's beginnings as a racer, retaining its practicality while adding another layer of competition to its personality... though it's nothing compared to what she was rumored to drive back in the day.
