So, the mystery muscle car...
I traded the Escort, and the wrecked S13 for it. Perfect condition, 60k miles, all original (minus rims and brakes). I'm also chasing an AE86 coupe. I love how those look... This post was edited by dxg1997 (2015-07-04 02:48, ago) |

Welp, sad to say it guys, but i have to get rid of my trusty Shop truck.
I cant be competitive anymore with my P.O.S. missile so i sold it, and now im selling this to get an all new car. 4000 kinda firm I put the cool rallys on it and swapped in a haulers 750 engine 371 Horses Added 41 minutes later: Good News! Iv'e found a cheap missile-ready car to take on, this was an insurance write off after the engine bay caught fire and lit up the interior and it went up in flames... Its got some replacment panels already on it, but im going to replace them, as the body work is a step off the deep side (anybody need them? Hatch, both sideskirts, right door, both front fenders, for $150?) Got it for $850-USD Added 9 minutes later: Got the body sorted with A body kit plus we got it in primer This post was edited by Go Fazt Garage (2015-07-04 05:04, ago) |

It's been a while! Quite some stuff happened while I wasn't here. The Rolf is gone; Sold it to a wealthy car collector who travels around the US searching for odd and unique cars. He's a really cool guy! The Varietta is my daily for now because the S13 has no AC and the heat is unbearable. The red Silvia convertible sure turns heads! The camaro is finished tech-wise. Justin will paint it himself but when he's around with the painted car I'll snap a pic for sure.
I've paid my grandpa a visit who lives in Utah. He has a nice farm there and I've stayed for a weekend. (My dad isn't the farming-type so he moved to Valo with my mother) Grandpa is a really cool fella; He's 78 but he gives a damn about it XD When I was there, he said: "Tom, I've got something for you. It belonged to your dad but he forgot about it when he got that BMW." So we went to a shed, opened it and inside was a 1967 Chevy Chevelle SS. Sits there since 1987. I'll try to restore it when I got it home. I'll update the car to modern standards, too which means: -Convert it to EFI IF the engine is still good; Otherwise LS3 swap. -New suspension. The stock suspension was way too soft back then. -I'll try to get some Torq Thrust rims for it |

Ayo everyone. I decided to come back posting progress of my cars in forums again. The Volvo I had in my last post, I sold it to my brother. After that I bought myself Nissan Silvia S14 Kouki! As there's a saying around internet that it's same possible to find a stock Silvia as finding a virgin in college, I didn't get myself a "virgin". It's modified in engine, suspension & exterior.
It's 200SX, which means it's equipped with SR20 & fortunately this one is with turbo. Aftermarket turbo to be exact. It has 18" SSR Professor SP3 rims, JDM sideskirts, Navan Valances & other few details. |

Wow, an apparently "Cherry Red Pearl" (AH3) Silvia and a "Phoenix Yellow" E46. You guys have good taste in car colors! (Especially the Phoenix Yellow - it's not everyone's taste, but when you can pull it off, it looks fantastic.)
(Reminds me: I should try making a paint color chart for the BMW E46 one of these days. I have a whole bunch of Nissans, the Supra JZA80, the RX7 FC and FD, and a couple of others already done and ready for use.) |

After 3 weeks I made good progress with the Chevelle. I got the worst rust spots sanded, found some 16" Torq Thrust and installed a N/A LS3 crate motor. Next up are the brakes and the suspension. My dad got wind of me visiting my grandpa and that I've seen the car. He doesn't know that I got it in the PTG shop. He showed me old pics of himself in the car and when I read between the lines he really regrets leaving the car there. "Maybe I'll restore it one day.", he said. His birthday is coming up and I will give the car to my dad. I already have 2 private cars registered on my name and I could hardly afford a third one. I even think about selling the tow truck but if you guys are interested I could hold on to it and tow your cars around for a reasonable price.

You guys have good taste in car colors!Yeah, I love my car's colour Today I slapped few stickers on my car that I found in my drawer & cleaned the engine bay. Seems like last owner really took care of that Kouki & even organized everything better in engine bay than the factory did. It did confuse me for a moment, as I was used with factory placement. |

So guys after I've been gone for a while me and my cousin Roman went out and traded the Evo III in for this new Mitsubishi 3000GT and it was a bit messed up but better than the Evo. The Evo had a blown turbo and it would get up and go, this was our best choice case everything was mostly destroyed, this was just laying in the corner dented up. But I hope I can make this car special for all to enjoy! I'm also looking for a new set of rims and tires, if anyone has any info on that hmu. My Bp is 5x100 and the minimum size of wheels are 17s to 18s.

Hi lads! I managed to get AC Schnitzer Type 2 in size of 18". The tires are with too low profile I think. Anyway, it may be really odd that I have these rims on S14 like that. I lowered the coilovers, but I think I need new coilovers soon if I want to go lower. Also, I bought used D-Max roof wing that's in great condition. I think of buying a wide bodykit & fit it with mad stance. I took some pictures of Silvia at my garage, now looking at pictures I think it needs to be lower, or either same height with thicker tires.

Thanks Harrison, I really Like my E46, and I went on Rim's & Rubber's and saw a Set of Vorsteiner VSR-163 for sale, 18x10. After, I went to the Tyre shop to Find a set of Sticky Tyres. I bought some Michelin Pilot Super Sport (255/r25/18). Now I need a set of Coilovers to lower it. |

Recently bought myself an Acura RSX-S for $6800 from some middle aged guy. The car is in fairly good condition, it has run about 120 000 miles, so it's neither high or low mileage. It's stock, but the guys son installed some adjustable coilovers from Koni on it, after 2 of the old factory shocks had blown. But other than that, everything else is stock. It has an ugly orange color, but I hope to get the car repainted sometime in the future.

Project MX5: The Revival
I have tons of news involving the MX5! I've been grinding away on it for the past weeks and im finally at a stage where I'm happy with it. That doesnt mean its done. There is still loads of work needed to it, mostly mechanical work. About that, I've replaced the headgasket since that was leaking and got that problem sorted out. Currently im waiting on UPS to deliver my coilovers aswell as my new wheelhubs. I located the bad bearing to be the front left one so I got a pair of used front hubs to throw on once its here. Now for some pictures! I ghetto-lowered it. My good old angle grinder cut the springs for me. I thought fuck it I am getting coilovers anyway . So these pics are with the cut springs on it but I imagine it will look like this with the coilovers on it. To fill out the wheelarches with the new SSR Watanabes I got a set of 4 25mm spacers that I bought on Valolist. They aint new but they are barely used and I got it farely cheap so that definately helped out alot! ( Any questions lemme know ) |

@2jzcookie, that NA miata is looking hot!
@Smokiegun if you need wheels and tires, I have a set of almost new 17x10 SSR Professor SP1's off my JZX90 Mark II if you want em, let me know. I bought new wheels for my E36 because Fifteen52's look wack. 17x10 Rotiform Cups, wrapped in Kumho Ecsta SP2 rubber. Looks a lot better than the Tarmacs to me. I painted my M bumpers and skirts to match and installed clear indicators and red/black tailights. A friend of mine, a skilled fabricator, made up a custom diffuser to fit and it looks amazing.

Got the license plates on the car, and then removed some badges from the car, because I think it looks better. Decided to let the Acura badge on the trunk stay for now, but it might go soon.. Not quite sure what to do with the car, yet. I'm thinking either "converting" it into a Integra Type-R, or going with some type of "stance"-build. Maybe a mixture of both. I definitely need to lower the car though.

@Marcus Sure bro, just let me know where and when you are ready to drop it off, I've been having some fuel line problems on the 3000 gt, luckily I walked down the street to our local Tuning Garage and picked up a new set of Spark plugs for free! And also bought new fuel lines.

I bought myself brand new BN Sports kit for my Kouki! Got it from my friend who sells these in UP Garage. We installed the kit at the track when we were drifting again with our close group of friends. Sadly, my AC's does not look good with new kit, it did with stock Kouki body. I need a new set of rims in size of 18" & I wish they'd be deep/concave. Also after getting new rims I'll probably change suspension system for better drifting & more camber with lower height. In the morning I took pics at garage, uhh, & I smoked it a little
Also I installed Bride seats that I had laying in my garage. When changing rear bumper, I found out that previous owner (my friend Kohaku) had made a custom rear license plate holder. Usually to move the plate you have to unscrew it off, but in Japan here's a stupid system where there's a government applied seal on screw that avoids you removing the plate. So the plate is usually screwed on the chassis. Anyway, I'm amazed of that custom plate holder made by Kohaku, because that way I can move the plate without damaging the seal.

Was looking through the car ads for a daily driver and stumbled across an E34. It is all stock apart an engine swap done to it which is S54. After some thinking i decided to give the owner a call and schedule a meet up to take a look at it. When I got there, a middle aged guy welcomed me. Found out he's a petrol head so we ended up talking for a little while. I found out that this E34 was actually his son's unfinished project. His son ended up moving to Australia to live so he passed the E34 over to his dad, he then had it for a while, but due to various problems he decided it would be best to sell it. Anyways, I took a good look at it and decided to go for it. The exterior has no dents or rust only missing fog lights and few other small bits. Inside, the interior is slightly worn out, but that's not a problem as I'll probably end up swapping it anyways. My plans for it are to get a set of coil overs first and then I'll look into some wheels. Here's a few pics how it currently looks.

Anyway, I did add a M3 GTR wing Lip, I think it will change the Look once it will be painted. For the paint, Any Suggestion for colour? Preference OEM (Any Brands). |
