When we get back from japan, I'm gonna sell the truck for something smaller. A 6.3 litre V8 drinks a lot. Same does the 2.5 litre DD. Might even go for a Civic XD I will keep the Barracuda as my fun car, tho.

I love my truck, I won't sell it. However, I did get something pretty amazing... I was cruising around town, when I decided to go find a suitable field to go and hoon in in the Colorado. I found one and started doing doughnuts (twas awesome) when something caught my eye. I saw a wrecked out blue coupe. Wondering what it was, I drove closer. It was completely overgrown, so I got out to go and check it out, and move the grasses. As I got closer I recognized 4 interlocking rings on the misshapen grille. In my head I was thinking, "oh my god what did I just stumble on??" and out of nowhere, this spry old man appears (I didn't hear him walk up because I was preoccupied clearing brush from the vehicle) and he says, "You want it?" and I jumped and turned around and said "How much do you want for it?" and he goes, "It's been sitting here since I got the property, and its really an eyesore... Give me your truck, and its yours. I may be old, but I know cars, and people. You look like you would take care of it." We swapped titles, and keys, then I had to call Fred to come and pick me up in the 2500, and bring the flat trailer. He got there, and he just was totally silent, which usually means he's excited. We got the car back, and I cleared pretty much all of the brush from it and snapped some pictures.
I couldn't believe my luck. I guess the guy OVERestimated the worth of the Colorado lol. I will work through the night to hopefully get the old broken to hell suspension out of the car. I want this to be an awesome daily. I may juswt throw some shitty suspension on for now, and send it to paint and detailing. This car needs ALOT of love, including trying to find an Audi turbo 5 cylinder (anyone have a working download of it? the one in the dl section uses Krocko which doesn't work where I live) and the grille. The battery is completely corroded, the brake fuild is gone, the gas tank is rusted with holes, but I think this car has ALOT of potential...(You're an amazing person if you read all the way through this...) |

# dxg1997 : (You're an amazing person if you read all the way through this...)YAY! I'm amazing XD (I have that mod, too. It's amazing! Too bad that these cars drink a lot of gas and are expensive to get IRL. Sure would drive one. My grandpa had an Audi Coupe which is the same thing minus the AWD.) Congrats on your find; They are even more rare than the 22b Impreza and way more rare than the DeLorean since there were only 200 cars or so ever made. |

I'm not even sure the guy would be able to get INTO the Colorado. It had a 6 inch lift on it, and he was, like, 80 lol. I managed to pull the mangled shocks, springs, brakes, and I'm working on the A-Arms, and trailing arms. Gonna hopefully get the stock wheels refurbished, and remounted on better tires, that aren't dry rotted...

Guess what I bought? A BMW E46 M3
 I took a loan for her, so I can participate in racing events: I hear dthe rules are no more HP than 450, so I think I know what to do. A 2JZ Swap! Cause the owner took the S54 and placed a crappy i6 engine in it.   ^ my parking skills are so great, I broke my mirror .__. I already ordered the stock 2JZ and installed H&R Racing springs. Now just wait for the 2JZ and I can buy new rims! |

Found my potential new DD. A 1980 Toyota Corolla GT TE71 Liftback. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for fastbacks so I couldn't resist. The previous owner was starting to take it apart for a restauration but gave up early on it. The only things missing are the engine and the rear window.
  I will swap a 4A-GE in it and I'll keep it N/A. That way I'll save quite some fuel. The engine that was in there when the car was new was a 2T-G according to the VIN. Since it is LHD and lacking the sidemarkers, the car is most likely imported from europe. |

I found a Chevy Nova 68 for sale, for 5000$
    Well, The Body is Not in good condition, but No holes in it, the engine have 4 broken cilynders, so I will maybe swap it with a Modern V8... Replace the Brakes, Suspensions, Wheels... Should I buy it? |

It actually looks really cool!
Did some phoning and already found a 4A-GE. It came out of an AE92 Corolla which means I can't use the tranny since it is FWD. So I need a RWD tranny. Anyone knows a guy gutting out an AE86? |

I know a guy that has a AE88 Tranny. Basically a Trueno GTS one, the AE86 for the american market. It has a Cusco LSD. He sells it for 450 Euros, it's not used very often.
Added 1 minute later: # Ey papa : Should I buy it?You can get the same thing for 3500$, just search some more, you'll find maybe one with a runnning engine |

So, got the suspension off, and some REALLYY cheap suspension in... The broken bumpers are fixed. Just had to remold the hangars, and mount the spoiler and rear bumper. Sending it off to Greg, to get repainted in red of course. I paid Gred a bit extra to take care of the surface rust, primering it, and minor body belemishes.

While I was snooping around in me Lexus, I found something that will save me anus from getting rekt by skrublords on Tsukuba.
 It was abandoned and covered with leaves and bushes. I bought it from the owner, and all I had to do was clean it up. I still haven't checked anything yet. All I know is, it still has an engine, but what I don't know is, what condition it is in. Plans for this:
-If engine doesn't work, I'll find an LS3 engine. -I'll look for my old Time Attack spoiler that was meant for the R32 but never got installed. -Bodykit -Probably either a respray with a white double stripe, or a solid black. -New rims -Racing interior -Find missing parts |

So guys, I went to check out that Skyline. I now own that Skyline. Dream 1/4 has been achieved.
My dreams in order; R32 Skyline (4 Door, but this still counts), R33 GT-R, Kenmeri Skyline, R34 4 Door or GT-R. I will literally sell all my cars if I can find the other 3. I'll be keeping this car, probably forever. This particular R32 is an RB20DET powered GTS-T. Previous owner has modified the car already with mods as follows, Apex'i Turbo Timer Bigger injectors Stage 2 Clutch and Flywheel Turbo from RB26 Aftermarket front mount intercooler No name coilovers? 18" CST Hiper1 Zero wheels wrapped in Stretched Kumho tires Owner claims 300HP on 98 Octane, after driving it I believe that no problem.    It's definitely got scene points. Paint has a few cracks on the side I didn't show, on the front right fender. Someone did a bad job rolling them it seems. Car is a little dodgy, but I'll get to work cleaning it up. Also not sure what to do about the paint colour. I think I might go with a factory Nissan colour, but not a skyline one... |

@DriftPhantom
Thanks man, I've got some plans for it. Owner took pretty good care of it except the fender issue, also it rubs a lot. Inside is pretty dirty, I'm going to vacuum it pretty soon. Your Subaru seems to be coming along pretty well. I love the hawkeye, that's why I got mine If I find a nice GT-R I'll sell it though.

Well I decided i'd post this to give you guys the hint! Here's the car.
  The powerplant!  [2 Days Later] All of my parts have arrived and are installed, I primed the Parts and took them off to respray them!    And after I did so, i took a little trip down the street to the Predator Tuning Garage Facility. And checked my specs out.   Hope you guys enjoyed! |

Anyone wanna do a wheel trade with me? Depending on the value of your wheels I can swing you some cash, or you can give me some in return
Looking for some 19" wheels, trading the 18"s off of my R32 Skyline. Tell me what you got. My wheels are in great condition, with a bit of rash on one of the wheels. Tires are used but still have plenty of tread on them. Added 26 minutes later: Got the R32's interior nice and clean, washed exterior and noticed a few chips in the front bumper. Oh well, paint will be changed soon.   and a photo of the engine idling

I've decided to soup up the evo since the rest of you guys have cars more powerful than mine. So I've installed a bigger GReddy turbocharger and now I'm almost clipping the maximum. Good enough.  Also a bigger wing but that is not permanent.  @Haku: Nice Skyline

 I got new bodykit, wheels, and interior stuff. I also found the missing parts, and now I'll get into the engine stuff.   The engine is your typical stock Viper V10. I'll drop in a twin turbo or a supercharger. Or maybe both, who knows? If I have enough money to afford anything. The stuff I had to get for it were quite costly. I'll get one of them or both if money is enough. |
