Welcome & Nice Z.

Here is a long update since I've been behind on posting.

Part one;

240SX gets to see it's first track day with the LSA in it, it is a crazy car to say the least and a completely different experience now.





Part two;

I got hard to work on the 240Z, I got all the parts I needed, complete suspension overhaul, an RB25DE installed, primed for paint, and then...



I got tired of it. I didn't want it. This wasn't the Z I used to have and it wasn't going to be that car. I decided to cut ties with it and sell it with all the parts ready to go, I even made a bit of profit at the end of the day. Then I bought something I've always really wanted.

Part three;

I've owned and sold many cars since I built my first car here in Valo, my old Impreza back on one of the first few pages. I can't really keep track of all the cars I've owned, I've just recently sold a bunch of cars because I'm at a point where I'm wasting money keeping cars around that don't get to be enjoyed like they should. I've started full time daily driving my S4, I sold my MK2, I sold the ER34 a little while ago because I had a person interested and I didn't drive it, I sold the Z, and I've sold so many other cars in the past it's ridiculous to think of how many I've owned. I buy cheap, pour in money, make a profit, repeat. But this car is different. I bought it two weeks ago and I immediately got to work on the vision I had for it because it's different than my average car.





This is a 1970 Porsche 911 in very good condition for it's age. I picked up this car for $29,000. I don't usually say what I've bought my cars for but I don't think I'll be selling this one. This particular car is a 2.7 liter flat 6 with a 5 speed transmission, and let me just say that this is an amazing sounding car. Hearing this engine behind you is an experience.



I stripped it on the second day of owning it as the first was all about driving it.

I didn't take pictures over the last two weeks but I'll show you where it's at now with a run down of modifications so far. I didn't want to clutter up the post with unnecessary pictures.







I purchased a replica RS rear whale tail trunk, all around wide body kit which includes over fenders, front RS style front bumper that's extended to fit flush, rear 964 style bumper with a shaved extension where the rear light bit used to go. The car is now sporting Bride Zeta III seats and a complete fabricated rollcage. The running gear came next and I settled with H&R coilovers all around, 300mm Brembo disk (6 Piston front, 4 Piston rear) brakes for great stopping power, and Work VSXX wheels, 19x9 in the front and 19x10 in the rear. The wheels are wrapped in pirelli semi slicks for track application currently.

Next up will be a new steering wheel, paint, and then engine work. Staying air cooled, either going to completely swap the engine for a 930 3.0 turbo or 3.3 turbo engine, or I will build the bottom end of this and get as much as I can from it. Stay tuned.

Do it for the ratchets
