So uh, yeah. I went from working on a crappy Silvia to driving a 1000+ horsepower Lamborghini around Japan.

I'm currently at Ebisu with Nick. I'm not sure how long we're staying for but I'll talk to him in a little bit. I'm not going to write a day-by-day piece on the trip, as I'd prefer to organize all my pictures and write in the comfort of my home. So, expect a giant wall of text and pictures in the next week or so.

While it's not quite a Diablo, the Huracan does look nice from that angle.

W-What!?
(911 all alone in the dark in California, 1 like = 1 prayer)


Nakai-San just texted me and offered to buy the Porsche... I don't know what to say. Should I do it? I love the car so much and I'm flattered that he thinks it worthy to be a part of his personal collection. I've enjoyed my time with it so far, but is this where my time with it ends? I'll think about it over the rest of my trip, besides, I shouldn't let that distract me since I have a lot of picture-taking to do.

At least if I do, my time with the car didn't involve slamming it into a guardrail.


$789 + $750 (Paycheque) = $1539

Not gonna lie and say I didn't cry a little while driving the Porsche to the docks earlier today. At least I had fun...
while i still could :'(



It's going to a good home, at least. I am going to miss this car, but I don't doubt that you or I won't see it again someday. Maybe online, maybe in person. But considering who it's going to, It's going to be hard to forget the little Porsche that both Nick and I fell in love with. The last picture I have of it is below. License plate off, ready to be shipped away.

Thank you, Widowmaker <3


$1539 + $45,000 (Sale of Porsche 911S) = $46,539

SHHHHHH.

Oh shit guys.

"PARKER DON'T!" ~ Everybody
"Too late." ~ Me

Last night when I was looking for the FC, I passed a dealership and saw this in the lot, a 2006 Saleen S281-SC.

So uh, I came back in the morning and bought it. If I have money, I might as well spent it almost instantly.

After the initial nervousness wore off, I headed out to the desert to see what the supercharged 4.6 could do.

I didn't dare push it any further, a crest leading into a corner was coming up. I'm not trying to kill myself yet, I need to learn the car.

The engine made 400ish horsepower stock, but with the aftermarket camshaft and headers, I'm not sure. I'll have to put it on a dyno. All in all, 10/10 IGN.


$46,539 - $26,500 (2006 Saleen S281-SC) = $20,039

Since you're now a proud Mustang owner, here's some of the good stuff.

You know what's scary? Braking for the crest at the start of the bridge and having the pedal drop to the floor.

I went airborne for a moment when crossing onto the bridge, and landed somewhat sideways. Pulling the handbrake would have been do dangerous, as in, I really wasn't trying to slam my S14 into the concrete barrier. I somehow managed to save it, atleast, for a moment I did. The bump at the end of the bridge threw the car off balance again. I pulled the handbrake then and cut it left, spinning towards the shoulder and to a safe-ish stop.

Time to call for a tow and pretend that I wasn't doing timed runs up and down the pass. I think this calls for a brake overhaul. Actually, fuck it, I have the money. I'll order some other things too...

Thank you!

I'm going to start writing about what I've done to my car in more detail, so, that entails to my formatting being changed. I picked up a shitload of expensive stuff, but I don't care.

Expenses/Profits

Current total = $20,039
-Project Mu Club Racer 355mm front & rear brake rotors -$560
-Project Mu Forged Sports calipers w/NS-C Type brake pads -$2800
-Jenvey Dynamics ITB kit -$1390
-18x10.5 +15mm (5x114.3) NISMO by RAYS LMGT4 Omori Spec Gloss Black Special Edition (w/Continental Sport Contact tires) -$3600
-C-WEST GT Wing -$1800
-Paycheque +$940
New total = $10,829

First of all, let's talk about these; a set of Jenvey Dynamics SF48/0/1 throttle bodies. I ordered these simply for the reason that I think ITBs are cool and I have always wanted a car with them. Did I mention the sound? It's God tier. Ooh! I painted my headcover and part of my strut brace to match the new wheels.

I also picked up 355mm Project Mu brakes (calipers, pads, rotors, etc... Other stuff such as lines and whatnot were included) for all four corners. They barely fit inside the new 18" LMGT4s.

Lastly, I bought a C-WEST GT Wing, because when I'm hitting speeds of [REDACTED] on the downhill, I'd like the rear end to be stabilized by something other than me. Also, I'm a fucking ricer.

I hope you enjoyed another S14 update, thanks for sticking with me through all my fires/owning cars for like three days/almost crashing. Goodbye for now! :^)

Ayyyy I got rear ended.

Expenses/Profits

Current total = $10,829
-Paycheque +$940
New total = $11,769

I was sitting at a stoplight heading to work, when an an older man in an F-150 forgot to brake or some dumb shit like that and rammed me from behind ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). You'll never guess what happened next, he drove away! Little does he know, his license plate fell off at the scene. So, yeah... Anyways, onto some details about the aftermath.


Luckily, I have a buddy with an S14, and a bunch of spare parts. I called him up and offered him my GT Wing in exchange for some parts along with some help. He agreed, and brought his van over which contained the following
-OEM S14 rear bumper
-OEM S14 trunk & spoiler
-REMUS muffler
-OEM tail light set

-Headlights w/amber corner lenses
(My clear ones didn't break, I just wanted amber corner lenses. Also my clear ones liked to fill up with water and shit so yeah...)

I took my license plates off, since the rear one got mangled. I'm probably going to switch to normal license plates, since the vanity ones I had were pretty dumb. For now that's all, I'm going to paint the bumper, trunk, and spoiler tonight so I'll post something about that once it's done.

Shut your whore mouth boy that aint no V6 Mustang kit!

Okay it has a V6 Mustang grille but that's not the point.

Expenses/Profits

Current total = $11,769
-Parts & Services from Performance Mustangs -$5000
New total = $6769

Almost instantly after I bought the Mustang, I traveled to Hawaiian Gardens to visit Jose at Performance Mustangs, and this is the result.


I had a lot of things done to the car, which I managed to score for a nice even price of $5000.

What's new?

-GT500 hood
-GT500 lip spoiler
-GT500 mufflers
-Custom GT trunk
-Custom smoked GT tails
-Saleen trunk lock cover
-Saleen S302 bodykit
-Saleen windshield banner
-New Saleen MaxGrip limited-slip differential
(The one already in the car was the standard Ford 8.8 rear end, the MaxGrip was an optional extra not installed on the car)
-V6 grille & badge

Next up on my to-do list, is getting both of my cars painted. The S14 is staying white, but as for the Saleen, I'm not sure... Any suggestions?

Why didn't you just buy a GT and a supercharger? :P

As for the colour, i would choose something darker cause your Stang looks quite subtle now.

Paint the pink or yellow! Mainly, so the crowd could start running away when it sees that bright colored mustang looking Saleen... (I think Yellow and grey stripes would look cool though..)

Thanks for the input guys but uh, I might put the S281 back as it was, and sell it to a local Mustang collector. The parts I got from Jose (Minus the MaxGrip) would go onto a different car, that's not a special edition. Sound like a good plan? Then I can stop taking shit for this lmao.
