@dxG: I really want an LSD, just not having too much luck with finding one.
And I got a new daily driver yesterday. Mk4 Golf with 3.2L VR6. My plans for this are, put an exhaust on, put on coilovers and lower just a touch, turbo the vr6!!

So yeah, I went completely NUTS with the miata, couldn't resist myself :|. N/A Mazda 13B rotary engine, about 320 hp.
  And also, bought this VW T2, gave it shimutshibu engine and hydraulic suspension, 388hp and loads of fun when driving.  Cressida and 240sx are still in progress, stay tuned. |

So...While my Sierra is in progress I bought a new daily!
It's a VW Golf MK2 with 1.6L engine for pretty cheap 450$. It's really clean and I like it. Plans for now is to put diffrent rims, do something with suspension and maybe an engine upgrade, maybe....   So how I said it's clean, it's clean...

Project MX5: The Revival
Wassup folks! I've been driving the MX5 to and from work the last couple of days and I've been noticing a small issue. That is that the front wheels are rubbing the wheelarches. And instead of going to Grave Digger height I took of the fenders and got my handy dandy hammer and started hammering the shit out the arches. Turned out pretty good actually  Next was rolling the fenders which I, for once, used proper tools for.  She is crying sparkles! Anyway while is was working at it I got a somewhat odd idea to make a zebra print for the valve cover. Now I didnt want to take it off simply because I dont wanna have to change the gasket again. So I cleaned the cylinderhead to the best of my capabilities and taped it off so only the valve cover was exposed(duh).After that I got to work! Turned out Haggard as Fuck( yes I'm a Haggard Garage fan xD) but I like it and that is all that matters.  Reminds me of watermelons

So, my Cusco and a mystery package arriaved today. I haven't the faintest idea what the second box, err crate, could be, but it's from an address that's been scribbled out, and has a sticker that says JUN on it. JUN like the tuning company. It's HUGE whatever it is, and it's about the right size for a bodykit, or an engine. I'm actually waiting till tomarrow to open the boxes, because I'm far too tired. Oh, and I ordered some new wheels. Cheepo 17" with low profile cheepo tires xD you'll see what they are in a few days time...

Hey guys! Long time no see!
Basically, I managed to write off the Cefiro, and sold the El Camino to someone who was interested in it. With the money I had from the Camino, I bought this used Accord for very cheap, and also a new camera :D. It was quite bad when I got it, but now it looks like this:  The headlights somehow overheated and I removed them to fix them. More news on it probably soon. |

so my first post here!
ive been able to drive for around a year and a half,but haven't been able to get the car i was after till now. after finding this on a jap auction site, managed to buy it and import it for $6400. body its self is in decent condition, with one of the rear arches with slight rust,and the car is running but the motor need work too but shouldn't be a hard fix! A list of a few of the mods: ls3 swap( not sure what it had before, no info) K&N springs and shocks, plan on replacing for new parts as these are giving up 310mm disks all round with some worn pads Kosei K1 18" wheels all round with 225/45 R18 Kumho tires (no tread left on rears) Bride zeta seats with takata harness' (also planed on replacing due to wear)  the car is defiantly not the best around, but i have some good ideas for this, ill post updates soon! |

Well all the cleaning and service stuff are done on my Ae86 Now i'm just waiting on a new set of tyres and brakes i ordered yesterday i hope they get here before the weekend so i can join a drift event that's up in the hill just outside valo:) But while i'm waiting i'm helping my brother with his time attack skyline so he can get it ready for the next race at akina next month, right now we're trying to get the engine running, the turbo cracked at the last race he was in so we had to change to cylinder head both the camshafts the intake and fuel rail, now it just need some fine tuning and it should start right away:D

so an update sooner than expected...
Got the car on the rolling road at the garage and we could hear a sketchy sound upon start up and also during idle,turning out to be the starter motor and busted timing belt. luckily they had these spare, so I bought them and they got replaced. Ended up making 400bhp with 487 Ft/Ibs of torque,not amazing but im happy with it.  also a friend of mine has a jzx100 and he had a few spare parts for sale,so I bought the spare front fenders and supermade bumper he had,looks out of place becasue they are white and the car has been rattle can sprayed grey lol,but that will be fixed later on.  next up, time to order some more of the needed panels, as well as some fresh tires for the rear. |

so since my old 240SX hatch was stolen last month, I've always been itching to get back into the S13 game but never found a decent hatch..my S13 coupe is going to be parted out, this one as I just can't find the passion for this car.
 Anyone want anything? -Full hatch front end with working popups, $600 for the entire front or seperate panels for $50-$100 each -All red LED tails, $200 -Legacy rims in the rear, Z32 rims up front -195/45/25 tires (Keeping the SR20 for myself, I'm greedy) Car can be bought as a rolling chassis, asking $1200 as the car was in an accident before, but straightened Haku's got me a hookup on a sweet 240SX hatch, going to go check it out. Hopefully this thing works out.. |

Hmm, interested on the Coupe. When you say rolling chassis, do you mean buy the whole car?

Whole car without engine, but if you want the N/A SR, then add $800 and it's yours.
UPDATE While I try to get my S13 coupe sold, I took up Haku on his hookup and I was certainly not disappointed. I rolled up the RX-7 and I see this mint 240SX coupe, in a factory Sapphire Blue.    Car is sat on a set of XXR 527's, measuring 17x8.5 all around, wrapped in Bridgestone rubber. Car has a not very healthy SR20DE, bolted up to a stock five speed trans. It's missing a few things, like the gas cap and the tailight center, and it runs terribly (destroyed head gasket), but I bought it up for $2000 seeing it's straight, has cheap coilovers on it, and isn't molested.

So, Im new in town, I brought A midsized truck with me, Just a little Sonoma ;), Has a new gen LS3. Looking to sell it and maybe build a new toy, I was browsing around, Find a Rx7 Fd, A notch back Mustang with a 429 boss, and I heard of a little S2k...They are on the cheaper side...The rx7 has no motor, I dont know if im going to get it for that reason or what. S2k is in terrible condition tho. Could be a project? its only 1.5k. but suspension is toast, engine is toast. and the interior was flooded. Might get it, opinions?

If u can find a cheap parts car of the junkyards here in Valo i'd say go for it. Go to Joes Auto Wrecker, they might have something for you. If not browse Valolist or something like that! About that Sonoma of yours, u got any pictures of it and what are u asking for it? I'm looking for a truck that fits your description just perfecly! |

so after searching a few local yards, ive managed to get the needed body panels that I was missing,but they are all diffrent colours( I love the colour on the skirts tho) and don't have the glass in the doors! but when I only payed a total of $450 for the lot, I cant complain.
 also got the springs lowered a bit more, but the rears a rubbing slightly, so may not be able to stay like this.  still waiting on my tires to come in, and also started looking at some diffrent wheels for hooning with,since I don't fancy wrecking theses by hitting a curb

@2jzcookie: If the Sonoma is nothing for you, my cousin Eric is selling his old Silverado.
If I'm lucky I can get my hands on a RB26 swapped GTS-t R32 Would trade the S13 or even the Varietta for it since the R32 is MINT and one of my most favourite cars. The wiring on the bug is halfway done now. The speedometer is hooked up as well.

When I saw this topic I knew I'd be at home, and luckily enough I just found a project to myself, a Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32) It's currently in pretty bad shape as you can see.
 I promise to make this baby shine once again! |

So my trueno is totaled
 Was driving some back roads at high speed and swerved to avoid a deer. Ended up rolling it and landing into a ditch, Ironically only a few days after taking my roll cage out. Just going to pick off what I can from the car and then scrap it. Been considering buy a 240sx, but I'm still going to keep an open mind when I look for a new car. If someone has anything let me know please Luckily I still have the MK4 VR6 as my daily so i'm not completely without a car. |

Project MX5: The Revival
So a nice addition to the MX5 came through the other day! Been waiting for it a long time. Atleast it felt like that! So I started installing it and went for a rip as soon as that was finished! When I was done installing and plumbing that giant stick it was already dark and I was ready for bed. Been working all day long but I powered through and went to a parkinglot to shoot some pictures of the car. Made me appreciate the car alot more than I already did.    I originally thought of repainting the front end and that might happen at some point if I ever decide to restore it. But for now I dont see that happening. Im all for that ratchet style at the moment! However I would like to mess with the engine some more. Somewhere along the lines of adding more power. Possibly get some better cams for it. Maybe injectors, open airfilter ; who knows? Oh and I should probably get some cheap drift wheels for it because I only got two sets of wheels atm. These Watanabe's and a set of steelies. I sold the rims that came on the car when I bought it to another MX5 owner! |

So it's been a busy day working with the Skyline. And then someone stole (slrr deleted the save file :c) it from the parking lot, so if you see a rusty Skyline with steelies and body panels in different colors let me know. So now i have this rusty 2JZ-GTE 3.4L stroker swapped Skyline that my friend sold to me for 1500€. The 2JZ is producing 470 HP to the wheels and it's a bit crazy. And here she is a bit banged up and in different colors but that's good enough for me

I was hanging out with a company car , one of my tuning garage-shop , a stock 2006 Mustang GT (stock except Wilwood brakes)..
 When I saw this :  1994 Supra RZ coupe , bad conditions.. But no chassis/major damage/rust. So I bought it. Plans ? After my last Supra , I want a drag car. So , stripped interior , full rollcage , and new parts everywhere. |
