Thanks for the kind words guys. I'll get through it all soon.

EPIC BUT ALSO UNEPIC YES

GOOD NEWS! Thanks to my insurance, I have been reimbursed V$15,000 from the V$20,000 I paid for the bogus sale of a MK7 Golf GTI.

Finally got the AP1 back from the police. Uhhhhh. Let's just say it's time I begun some REAL mods on this thing.









Lmao it looks like a base model S2000, similar to the 86 RC or Honda's own EK9 N1.

Still has the Bilstein coilovers from before. But the RE30s are gone, epic steely time. Missing the AP2 front bumper, and the pristine rear bumper has been reaplced with a beat one. Badges, gone. Type V spoiler lip, gone.



Engine is missing the OEM air box, I'm glad that's the only thing missing.



Missing a seat. WEW.





Everything else seems to be in order from what I've investigated. Still very salvageable, so I'm keeping this baby.

YASSSS PAINTY BOI

Checked up on the S14, she's in the paint booth ready to get sprayed!

OOF is all I can say

Last week I took the A5 out to buy some groceries. Went to the nearest Costco, and parked close to a 2015 Subaru WRX STI Type S (VAB).







Took my sweet time buying some instant coffee, beef, and other stuff like asparagus. Also dashed through the cereal aisle to pick up some Cap'N Crunch and some milk. I was getting ready to line-up at the cashier when suddenly... I heard an announcement that said whoever the owner is of the Silver Audi should please come out for an emergency. I leave my groceries in the store (I came back for them later), and my eyes witnessed this:











An elder man in an E92 330i lost control on the street, jumped through the curb over the grass, dashing through the parking lot, eventually hitting my A5. Police suspect driver error, but the elder man says the electronics for the throttle had malfunctioned. Regardless, the A5 was sent to a trusted Audi-accredited body shop for some treatment. I had a plan ready just in case this type of thing would happen. Safe to say, I'm pushing through with said plan.

Finally some real good news

I got around to putting the CA18DET in the RS13U back together.











S15 sitting pretty patiently waiting for paint. Anyway, put everything back, wired the necessary harnesses and started the car.

1 CLICK START SUCCESS!

The owner wasn't lying, CA18DET was just overhauled and it sure ran like it was. No visible smoke, that's how great it's running! No black carbon deposits and stuff. YEEEEET

I BIT THE BAIT

I also got myself a new vehicle!



Introducing, 2012 Subaru BRZ S 6MT (ZC6) in Crystal White Pearl! This being what most people call the modern day S13 for its extreme tunability, widespread support, and great formula of a RWD, 2 seater, 4 cylinder sports car, I just HAD to get my hands on one.

Also I made a friend at a shop I dropped the Audi off to. Name's Saki, and he drives this beauty right here.





A real fan of US/Canadian Street Culture, and surprisingly, a follower of NightRunner International and NightRide CA! Pretty cool tbh. But yeah, the goal for this car is to make a real cool street car that's still drivable as an alternative daily.



Paint is fresh and shiny!







Underneath the aluminum hood reveals a completely bone stock well taken care of FA20D with D-4S technology, utilizing both direct and port fuel injection to optimize combustion potential. This 2.0L Boxer 4 Unit produces 200PS (197hp) and 205Nm (151lb-ft).







Interior is pristine as well, non-smoking car, usually only driven short distances. Never tracked. Has about 64,800 km on the clock as of this writing.













Price? I was able to massage it down to V$16,000. First impressions? Everything I expected and more. Power is JUST fine for what it is. I floor it, it gives, not much, but enough to pull. Handles GREAT even with the Prius tires, and the back end has a tendency to swing out when the Torsen LSD locks the raer wheels. It's got some body roll but it's manageable, nothing some good aftermarket coilovers won't fix. The big ++ with this car is that compared to an S13 or AE86, this is a very civilized car, one you can comfortably use for your day-to-day commute and still have fun at the end of the day. I'm PUMPED to modify this thing!

That's all for this time. Thanks for reading!
