The land of shenanigans (ホ演イユ)

This month will be great, real great!




Like you know, i was invited for Benny and Ziga from Side To Side to go again to the US of A
for doing some shenanigans, doing some shit and epic moments.

So like after the Drift Matsuri event and all of that, i got the tickets,
sort tome of the workshop things and in August 29 at night, i took the plane
Oklahoma, here we go!


August 30th, 9:30am
Will Rogers World Airport, Oklahoma City



After a long ass trip, i arrived, Beautyful Oklahoma City!
I'm exhausted as hell, but now it's time to go with the boiz!
Biggie and Soju are already in the garage fo almost a week, and benny too, so this month will be great!
I will call Ziga...

*Calling*
Ziga : Hi?
Me : Hi, it's frank, i'm in the W.R Airport, pick me up!
Ziga : Hi frank, okay, i'm going...

10 minutes later i hear the fury of a Porsche Boxer engine and a message from Ziga (Lagano)



"Your Uber has arrived"
I'm in the parking lot.

I went to the parking lot and, oh my fucking god
I was like a little kid when i saw Ziga's 911! I love it
The CF panels and bits, the RUF bumper, the wing, it looks epic asf!






Me : Heyyyyyyyy dudeeeeeee
Ziga : Heyyy frank, what's up?
Me : It's been a long time, huh? All great, and you?
Ziga : Great great! Benny, Yuan (BigSmoke) and Soju are in the shop
Me : Perfect, how is it goin' with the cars?
Ziga : Good, the Aventador is ready with the rebuilt title, this one is going on, the g35 is doing great, overall, good.
Me : I'm glad of that, dude, i can't wait to see the boys and start working on in my Neon for the Autocross
Ziga : About that, mmmmmmmm, we will talk about that in the workshop with Benny, now, let's go for a ride.

That concerned me a lot, but well, i will need what's going on with my car.
But well, now we will go to the workshop finally!


10:00am


Finally i have arrived to the Side to Side HQ!
Lovin this stuff!



First one, that damn raptor, i love it, it's such a rad vehicle, perfect for S2S!




Also, the superstar of this place, the Aventador!, Benny, you're such a badass dude!
I love it! The fitment, the sound, the colour, all! And rebuild wise, you did a great job!





And we can't forget about the 370.000km Supra! Such a clean build
For now is a stock NA with a CD009 manual trans
And it looks very nice, 300ZX style targa top, lambo style tail lights
Front lip, etc etc.
For now it's a boring N/A Version, but i got a little surprise from SLP that will change that
Well, little surprises...




Also, Ziga's Drag Supra and SC300, we all know about them, and did a little coverage last trip
But oh boi, they still looks awesome and performs incredible





Also, the MK2 Golf with SR20DE swap
Oh, this peppy thing, oh boi, this is fun!



AND THE FITMENT, BOI, THIS IS NUTS



Also Ziga's Chevelle, the 1000hp street car who blew his Ebay turbskies, we need to fix that



And last but not least, Benny's R33 GTR




Benny, you're a badass, this car is perfect
Nismo 400R aesthetic bits, Engine built by Nismo (Shoutout to Niatross/Muzahid)
This kinda red-ish colour, the fitment, suspension, wheels, EVERYTHING.
This car is the perfect r33.

Those rides were amazing, no?
Now, the moment of arriving.

Ziga : Boyssssss, look what Japan give us
Me : HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Biggie : AYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FRANKKKKKK
Soju : What's up frank?
Benny : What's up dude? Finally!
Me : A lil tired but happy to be here, how is it goin?
Benny : Good good, very busy, but always great!
Me : Great, dudes, i'm so excited to see you again boys!
Benny : We too, we too
Me : Oh benny, i talked with SLP about your Supra proyect, and they wanted to hook you up with some surprises...
Benny : Really?
Me : Yup, take this boxes
Benny : *Opens the boxes*
*Found a 6266 Turbo kit, front facing intake, clutch kit, 1000cc injectors, fuel pump and pressure regulator, AEM Infinity ECU and a letter*
Letter : Hi Benny! How is it going? Frank told us about all of your projects, specially about your High mileage Supra project,
and we wanted to hook you up with parts, over 10k $ of parts for your project! But don't worry for the cash,
this is our gift and our support for this special project, hopefully this car will be kicking ass in no time!
Enjoy it!
- SLP HQ.
Benny : Dude, this is incredible, really, thank you!
Me : No problem dude, now this will get real interesting!

Yeah, that happened! I talked with the big boss of SLP about this project and all of Benny's projects,
and asked him if we can make a collaboration with him for some of his projects, and oh boi, what a gift!
Now that supra will be rippin' it in no time!

Then after that, i wanted to drive my SRT4 and start working on it, but i couldn't find it

Me : Dudes, where's my SRT4?
Ziga : About that, how i can say it... We sold it
Me : WHY?
Benny : We hated it, really, nothing personal, we love u (no homo) and all that,
But really? A Neon?, sorry but we hated that car, really we hated it, you deserved something better.
Me : Thanks, but also, why the fuck?! Well, at least you can give me the money?
Ziga : Chill dude, here's the money, they give us 5k for it.
Me : Okay, but like, how the fuck the car got titled without me being here?
Ziga : The neon was in my name because you aren't a Oklahoma Resident.
Me : Yeah, i remember, now i need to get a car, hopefully you won't sell it.
Ziga : Just get a good car, not that Chrysler crap, really,
You traded a V8 Mustang for a neon with a PT cruiser turbo engine, really frank?!
Me : Well, you guys are right, i'm kinda angry but hey, at least i got the money and i can get a better one

I was really pissed off, but hey, at least i got 5k in my pocket, but now i need to find a car...



2:00pm

After a lot of searching, i found a car that i liked! But it was in Dallas, TX
So i needed to take the bus or pick an uber, but hey, this car worthed it.
After checking it out, doing the paperwork and giving the cash...



I'm now the owner of a 92' Nissan 240SX

Yeah, i know what are you thinking, Another one? Yes, another one
I paid 6500$ for it, i know, it's a lot for a 240, but let me tell something about this car



The body is one of the best bodies that i ever seen on a 240SX, Rust free, no bondo
Repainted in Carbon Black, Origin front bumper, clear tail lights
Megan Racing coilovers, 16in TE37's



Bride bucket seat, steering wheel, apexi fc controller, hydro e-brake, gauges, vertex shift knob

And the old KA24DE got swapped for one of the best engines of the world under the hood!



The 1UZ-FE Non-VVTI!



Yup, i bought a 1UZ swapped 240SX, and is clean as fuck!, the engine is running great
It got a 350Z CD009 6 speed manual, stage 2 clutch, custom short shifter, new bushings, etc



This car is in perfect condition, super clean, and i bought it for a good price, i love it!
It remembers me of my first 240sx, except the fact that mine was a piggy SR, but well, doesn't matter lol

Let's go for a drive...





2:45pm

After a little drive for Dallas and Oklahoma, i went to the garage to see the boys reaction...




Ziga, Benny : A 240? Again?
Me : Yasssssssss
Ziga : I gotta admit that looks inmaculate, how much you paid it?
Me : 6500
Ziga : Damn, that's expensive for a stock slammed 240
*In that moment i put my Paul Walker moment in action*
Me : Is not a stock 240, pop the hood
Ziga : *opens the hood*



Ziga : Daaaamn, 1UZ Non VVTI swap, looks so clean, nice one frank!
Me : You see it, i didn't want another 240, well, i wanted another one, but not now,
but this one, it's so clean and in good price that i couldn't resist
Benny : Good one frank, Good one! This one is a great one!
Me : Thank you!
Biggie : AYYYYYYYY my dawgggg, congratsssssss
Me : Thancc u boy!, with this one we will do some crazy shit!

After that, we keep talking about more shit, projects and more things.
And also i took more pics of the 240








Later i will do another update with more shit, shenanigans, maybe hooning the Aventador,
And all of that good stuff!
So, stay tuned for that, until next time!
Peace!
