# SyX_FuRy : well doesnt look like ill be moving the jzx100 anytime soon,took her out last night for a motor test and she put a piston where it shouldnt go, so i have no motor to use. Sent it off to get rebuilt so just wating on that now, one the good side tho, my tires have came in!

Car looks great man, coming together well. Almost makes me wish I kept my Mark II. Cant wait to see it get sideways, maybe I'll see out on some drift days when your car is up and running. If you need any help with the engine in the future, you can always stop by my shop. I've been doing a lot of learning on my own LS in my S13, I haven't had many major issues yet but I'm definitely familiar with them now. Also if you need any vinyl work done, we can get a wrap for you on the cheap.

# marcus915 : -All red LED tails, $200

Are they still available?

@lajen: I'd be glad to help you out with my garage. Might convert my trusty S13 into a time attack beast and join your team. And living on noodles ain't that bad; Did that when I got my S13 XD

# Tom Diablo : Of course:

That truck is a completely stock '90 Silverado and in good shape. Eric took good care of it. You can phone him; *Gives phone number*

Looks pretty good! Im definately interested so when I find time I'll give him a call!

When I was going to an ordinary car dealer I was hoping for a great find as in an old american muscle car or a small hatch on the market. Instead I stumbled upon one ugly riced out Civic Si that the owner seems to have thought it would have made the car speak like a parrot just by making it look like one.


It really had a too big fart cannon and at a test start up, it sounds as if I could have gone for a shit at the bathroom, so I had to tow it onto my borrowed truck. All the intention was to not feel too embarrassed about driving a loud and slow nyan-butt-crack-rainbow-civic during the time. What could this poor car possibly have done towards it´s owner!?


There was one thought in mind that made me buy it for very little cash (it only costed me about 431 dollar when I got the bid lowered from 570 dollar):

How if I could transform this slow overdone riceburner into a powerhouse racing machine or anything that can do unexpected things on a race track?


Pictures of this (cheaply bought) ricer:








At the time I got back to my garage to take a further look on the car, it seemed to have gotten the front bumper replaced with a new one quite recently. As I did take a look on the details, I realized that the car could potentially have hidden damages behind the "freshly" mounted on bumper with seemingly newer paint on. Apart from the body kit and fart can, it had the wrong rims that happens to be from an older Honda Accord. The performance from the engine of the car was just as it was stock.




Some suggestions for how I should re-modify the car would be great. What do you guys think?

My current plans/ideas for mods on it:

My ideas for now would be to swap in a twin turbo/supercharged V6 or a 1.8 Honda B18 with custom made candy made for it (with rear wheel drive for drifting). Other than making this car have a decent performance, I could either restore it to the stock appearance (sleeper) or keep it riced out except for the fart cannon to fool anyone trying to race me (ricer sleeper).

Hey guys!
SOOO, I moved again for my old house in East Valo, my brother was living in there, so he move out last week, so, I can have again a house for my cars, no an apartment...
Anyways, I need a new cars, anything around 600~~1150, plz.
If anyone have something, PM me plz, or just send a message here!
Thanks guys!

# PXRZ :

A couple of updates later...

So after while I found that the hood had to be treated for dents and since the choice of colour wasn´t my favorite, so it had to go.

just waiting to get my hood back from my little own workshop for repairs while my quarterpanel freely roams around. While on the wait, I killed some time with an odd engine swap after struggling if I would either put a v6 or a v8 variant so it had to be a 13B at around 310-320 hp instead of the 1.5 liter´s tiny 142 hp:



got the hood back (I´m so hood- no really please....)




Had to see how the quarterpanel matched up with the hood/the rest of the car (I was unfortunately too fast with getting stuff together that I accidentally scratched the paint on the fender).






...well, it will be replaced sooner or later with something that does not resemble a parrot.

Sup, the MK2 got some new rims and tyres.Those are BBS RM, got them fairly cheep, nothing special on them, they are 16x9 and they fit kinda ok, bit to much out maybe, but once i drop the car and add a bit of camber they shuld fit nicely to the fender.Here some pics.

# JdmSly : @PXRZ: rotary swap honda? i like it interesting but na with 330~ hp? whats done?

How did you manage to get the performance to be 330 hp or above and not around 310-320 hp as I stated in my post? I checked again to be sure and it produced 317 hp, which wasn´t that far from what I guessed at the hp range for the 13B.

Some custom made parts such as the custom machined high compression rotors (increased to a 11.7:1 compression) along with a blueprint crankshaft, bridge-ported housing and a custom made gearbox borrowed from a LS3 engine. It is meant to be able to handle very high revs, which would be needed in drifting so it won´t blow up. I could have went for a supercharger but it did not assemble right so it had to be naturally aspirated which would fit for drifting sideways (haven´t decided yet whether I should keeping the car fwd or make a conversion to rwd so I can use it as a drift car).

Even though the engine swap was close to be a tuned 4A-GE with custom made camshafts for 260+ hp and perhaps a 1.7L stroker kit installed for that extra 0.1L increase in size.

Some more pictures taken of the body panel repair/rebuild of the riced out car:


(completed the whole rework of this panel too)

At the same time I thought since nobody has attempted to rebuild a fwd ricer civic into a rwd drift machine civic it might as well be good to make this a rwd car.

Added 6 minutes later:

Weight reduction





Went for a coup fuel cell and other stuff too.

It turns out to be a challenge to drive this at 200 kph and go faster with rwd. Maybe I should replace the entire suspension (full 1.5 DVC suspension set from suspension arms to brakes) with something new and sell it to someone else here to earn a buck or two? I also have the 1.5L DVC 4-banger for sale also!

# Haku :

Did I really mention anything with my build as "those"?

# LoganC : Yo guys I thought Id share my 86 build with you all!

ooooo im exited i have a stock front clip in black for the S15 (hood, lights, bumper, fenders,) if you want it let me know make me an offer

Any ideas for a project car?

# Johny_Bravo : Hey guys!
So, I was walking around to supermarket, then I saw this!
A Ford Ká, for sale, it is on bad-mid condition on the exterior, interior is new, but, it have no engine
Okay so, I bought it for 200$, from an old lady (which probably explain why bumpers are fucked up).
Anyways, anyone knows who can fix this Ká exterior on Valo City?







Pics made from my Phone, sorry

A Ford Ká? Sounds like the perfect car to put in a Ford 302 cui V8 or Toyota Inline-4 4A-GE with a little tuning!

So it's been a little bit. Got some work done on the FD and the RPS13.

Got a set of new wheels on the FD, a set of Rotiform MHG's, in 17x10 spec, with a -12 offset.





So now my set of AG Forged F110's are up for sale hahaha. also in a 17x10 offset.



And with the RPS13, I've fitted a nice straight through exhaust running to a Magnaflow twin tip, and put the CST HiperZero's from the RX-7 onto it, also dropped it a tad more. Going to go much lower later.





Hydro ebrake setup, and a custom shifter.



Going to turbo this car, basic T28 setup I'm thinking right now but I don't know.

# PXRZ : A Ford Ká? Sounds like the perfect car to put in a Ford 302 cui V8 or Toyota Inline-4 4A-GE with a little tuning!

a tiny shitbox intended for daily use and reliability?
sure, let's stick an impractical V8 that doesnt even fit because #stance #toiletflush #trendy my dank mexiflush

# Lamzumi : So... If I said "Would a LS3 V8 engine fit in my Ford Escort MK1?", What would your answer be?

"kill it with fire"

well since I don't have a motor currently, thought id get the rest of the car painted with primer (left the skirt that colour cause I quite like them )

Quick update on the Golf, also I forgot to introduce myself, Hi I'm Jim and I have just moved to the Valo city area and I'm already fascinated by the car culture here! But yea back to the golf, got rid of the giulia engine, swapped in a stock K24 I bought for 750$ and the Golf cost me 1500$

Was a quite easy swap to do actually, and I'm thinking of turboing the engine because I think it produces enough power that way.
I also got the car repainted and I got new rims, RS Watanabes to be exact and I think I'm happy with the exterior now.

Hey guys I am back! I m glad to see some more skylines passing through here I was feeling lonely lol. Speaking of skylines, nothing has really changed with mine except for your usual maintenance. It is still a daily driver. Here she is taking a drink.




With my skyline being almost completely stock, something didn't feel right. I felt something missing. I needed a car that was impractical, stupid dumped to the floor like the world should be. and rather than Chop up a near perfect and rather rare r34, I set out to find another car to "break" as my father would say. I stumbled upon this bad boy:



What we have here is a 2004 Subaru impreza wrx sti. I bought it from a guy over in east Valo for $13,000. shes got about 75k on the meter and she is pretty original besides the no name lowering springs. as you can see she is red. I didn't know this, but this was the first year (us spec anyways) that this chassis came in red! (in the us, this was also the first Sti trim we got. 02-03 where only offered as wrx)




I have already ordered a set of H&R Ultra lows, because #staticlife and I am in the process of fabricating a ridiculously obnoxious bosozoku style exhaust. I am about to ruin this rally car and I love it. I also looking for some 17in wheels. preferably 3-piece. anyone got something in storage they would want to part ways with?
