First things first, moved into a new house few weeks ago. Best thing about it? i will now have my own garage. Now speaking about cars... today i bought myself a car for a winter project. The car is nothing special just an ordinary E34 which was used and abused as a daily all its life. At the moment it's not running as it doesn't have an engine. The E34 is completely stock and sits on 16 inch steelies for the moment. Plans for now are to get it running and then we'll see what happens next.

I recently had a "meeting" with a deer while I was driving home at night in an E24 i've owned for a while, and I got some damage to the front left side. I had to straighten up the front, and get a new hood, front bumper, and a couple other things. Kornis let me borrow his garage (a few days before he got the 535i) so I could put the new parts on without having to stay outside in the cold. The front had been straightened up at a local body shop. The parts i got, was from a red 635csi that was rear-ended a while back, so the owner is selling all the parts that wasn't damaged.
 After an hour of mounting the new parts and plugging all the wires for the lights back into place, it was ready. Well. Sort of ready. I have to re-paint it. And speaking of re-painting. I liked the color on the parts I got from the 635csi, so i've been thinking about having the whole car in that color.

The Caddy is fixed up now. The rims are from the Skyline that got stolen.
 No muffler now but who cares  ... It is powered by a turbocharged Honda B18 reving up to 10k RPM   I already picked up the 2JZ for the Celica and that thing is as fast as it is loud! Everything that was not drifty enough got thrown out  The engine bay needed qutie a bit modifying to fit the large engine

(( So I realized that my projects are too un-roleplay. Now I'll work on a bit cheaper projects & will not skip whole tuning ))
Hi, I'm Caspar Coprone. I just recently got this small front-wheel-drive Golf for 1000$. I am probably going to do German Style on this car, but we'll see about that as it's my daily now.   Added 31 minutes later: (( 1 day later )) I bought a H&R Ultra Low coilovers from my brother's import shop. You can visit his shop JK Garage, there are suspension systems, rims, some engines (used), new spares, used spares & even front-ends! Most of these are there Jap stuff. I installed H&R coilovers, adjusted a bit & now they should be 6.5 inch high/low. Took a test drive around, heard some "stanced car problems" already  Next thing I'm planning to do is probably rims. At the moment I have Advan RGII R15x9 rims, with non-streched Advan tires (such a combination). Rims I want are probably 16 inch deep steelies, ATS Cups or ATS Classics. But now it's time to work for more money...

If you have the 1.8 litre 75HP motor you want to check the ignition system. As soon as it got wet outside it didn't really want to start and it was cutting out in the spray of a truck when driving behind it on the Autobahn.
By the way, I ordered steel tubes and all you need to build a rollcage. I always wanted to do something like that myself |

Bad and good news. Good news are that I traded my advans for very cool rims that fit. The bad thing is that I got tea-bagged by a Prius. I need a new hood (or fix current), driverside light, bumper, deflectors & grill. Other is ok.
   Added 53 minutes later: Another sleepless night & another work done. Had to order new bumper & grill. I got a new lip that was actually from a BMW E21, but if it fits, it sits. My brother came & helped me to fix the hood, looks good on the camera, but not in real life. By the way, I have a friend who's stripping his VW Vento, it has VR6 3.2l engine also. I'm not going to do any swaps in near-future.

So, today met with a good friend of mine who's a very big fan and collector of BMWs. Was talking with him about my project E34 and he was kind enough to lend me a few parts to see how they would look on my car. Now the real problem is which one of them to use.
   Added 3 minutes later: Also have this pretty mad idea about using the front bumper of an E36 on my E34. Opened up 3d max and kind of messed around to see how it would turn out. Looks pretty crazy but I'm sure wont be doing that

It took me about a week to design and build the rollcage for the Celica but I think it looks very good
 From the leftovers I made front and rear bars   Plates on and let's see how she runs. The engine is from a Supra MK4 that got rolled.

Not the biggest update, but I finially had the car painted in the red color that I wanted. I also sold my AC Schnitzer wheels for a nice price, so now it's sitting on some very boring steelies while I look for something new.

It's been a while since I posted here so here is a little update. The S14 was junk and I sold it, and I am also selling the 1JZ-GTE I swapped in it, make me an offer if you want it.
The S2000 is up for sale as I am running out of room in my garage. It has a LS3, aftermarket coilovers, Work rims, and a Duramax bodykit. 20K or best offer  The KE70 is also for sale. There is no engine and the interior is stripped. 10K or best offer  Finally I picked up a AE86 from Japan. I swapped the 4AGE from the KE70 as this 86 didn't have one.

Isn't 10k too much for a chassis without engine? I'd understand if it was a 240z or 2000GTR, but KE70 c'mon...

with winter now here I needed something to drive while the Z gets locked up. me being the "practical" person I am, decided to go with a Cefiro. This is Tech Sopport, my 89 Nissan Cefiro. being that it is an 89 it complies with the D.O.T 25 year law, so it is now 100% legal. this will be receiving a fresh rb, which is being shipped now. I had it all ready to go for today's event I towed the LS-Onevia to (still runs, cant drive two cars at once)
  LS-Onevia: Shout out to Coprone for the door, I just slapped it on. it opens and locks so its good enough for me  It was just in time too, because ebisu ran their open class comp today. I had some good runs, but I just couldn't hang with the locals. The lack of fender gave the camera man a nice shot of me at lock. running 55 degrees at the moment

I traded the Jeep with a guy down the street, for a 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT with the L44. I plan on hopefully, turbocharging it. I'm gonna make this into a missile!

So I was searching Valolist for some parts and I saw this dude selling a Eclipse for $500, sketchy as hell but I called and met him at his house. He didnt know how to drive stick so the car was sitting in his backyard for some years and he was selling it cheap because he said it didnt start.
 Turns out it did start but was a mess. I hooned it around a parking lot and when I got tired and the anemic engine gave out I proceeded to get rid of everything I could.  I still have most of the parts I took out if anyone is interested in any. Anyways, one of the guys at the shop said he had a kit sitting at his garage for a few years and since it was warping and getting wasted he gave it to me.  After some work we finally got it on and then threw in some of the old parts that were refurbished.  Also threw in racing shocks, springs, brakes and wheels.  Now Im thinking about shoehorning a V6 from a 3000GT on it, if I can find one. Plan B is getting one from a late gen Eclipse, Endeavor or Galant, build it up and shoehorn it in there. Now back to Valolist and junkyards to see if I can get one. |

So, bit the bullet and decided to fit the twin turbo EJ25 to it... fits like a charm! I also installed some H&K Ultra lows, Brembo brakes, OZ front rims, BBS rears, and Advan tires on front, generic brand on rear. I shortpiped it too. I just removed the bumper to show my handiwork, thats gonna stay on there, especially when I take her to Ebisu... Also routed the oil cooler through where the front right headlight was, I like the look of it so far. I want to get some scratches on the paint though. You may be wondering how the intercooler gets air for the massive turbos... well, I cut out the bottom of the rear bumper and fitted a little air scoop to it, so while the cars moving, and air is moving under it, it also moves over the intercooler!
      Added 2 minutes later: # zerito : Now Im thinking about shoehorning a V6 from a 3000GT on it, if I can find one.

I got the 2.8 L44 from the Fiero if you want it man. I got no use for it, so if you want it its free. its in really good condition, rebuilt about a year before I got the car. I can also source a supercharger or twin turbo setup if you would like... |

208 Beachview Drive. It's like the bad part of Vespucci beach in GTA V. It's a whole complex. 2 buildings, and a dirt yard. Just have em ring the buzzer and ask for Tyler. He's my shophand. I'll be away at Ebisu for the day, but hes a good kid and I trust him. Want me to look for some kind of forced induction for you? I could probably find a great deal on some turbos, I know a guy whos got a full service shop right here in Valo City
Added 6 minutes later: Fuck it, I'm opening an engine shop. Custom built engines for people who want em. I'll build anything from a 3 cylinder up to a 12 cylinder, flat inline v and flatplane, supercharged or turbocharged as long as you got the money I'll build it. I'm gonna go out and pick up some kind of cheap car to test engines for clients in, something with a really roomy engine bay. Might pick up that Volkswagen Pickup and just cut out the bed and mount the engines there... I'll also rebuild and refurbish old engines... This post was edited by dxg1997 (2014-11-24 04:15, ago) |

...Whats up guys. The skyline is still running like a champ (not really beating on it too hard). I also got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is I finally heard back from the "FORMER" owners of the "Family Drift Lexus GS340" and they no longer own the car. Seems that they gambled and lost the title to the vehicle during the FL2K14 drag racing event! Good news is I got in contact with the new owners (who wanted to remain nameless) and they really want nothing to do with the vehicle but instead wanted the bet covered. Using some of the remaining money from the sale of the Tiburon, we purchased the vehicle for $5000 and are reselling it as is for $8000
 I will be listing all mods done to the vehicle in the Classified section |

@driftphantom I'll get Tyler to start looking for those. I agree with the Ebisu thing, and if we do touch a bit, who cares? Their missiles! Whats your missiles power right now? I'll try to tune the EJ to.match it, cuz right now the game decided the car has roughly 925 hp and each turbo has 37 fcking psi... I gotta fix that xD
Added 9 minutes later: So, I was meszing around with the Fiero in the yard, just doing doughnuts (its a very predictable car to drift) and I underestimated the turbo lag a wee bit, and got my first dent in the front bumper xD well, its to be expected I guess...

SO I got my engine in thanks to dxg1997, and let me tell you this man is the bomb, engine is like new! I had a turbo kit laying around so I threw it on and some engine dressing. Spent most of the night trying to shoehorn it into the car but it worked! Also I think the paint turned out well but a Red Eclipse is like really common so I might spice it up later. Anyway here are some pictures before tuning and test drive.
  Im going to be testing it later and taking some pictures, this is a track racing car so dont expect drift pictures :p Tho' Im itching to get a missile, any recomendations? |

@dxg1997 dang man that's a lot of power for ebisu! I'm running about 600 out this LS and I have no problem getting around the course. it is now straight piped for increased air flow. here is the dyno:
 I decided to spend a few dollars on the missile and give it a nice refresh, some parts off Valolist and a fresh coat of paint has her rady to be destroyed yet again

Okay, I'll try to tune it down, might restrict airflow a wee bit, I thought 900 seemed a bit much. I'm gonna aim for the 550 rang hopefully. I'm borrowing my buddy's 2 vehicle trailer and Ram 3500 Turbodiesel to tow out there. Should I bring the GTR, Volvo, Civic, Corolla, or rolling Hellsnake chassis, with no engine? I kinda want to bring the GTR to see what kind of buzz it'll generate... It can drift too, 850 hp can do that. The Volvos got about 600 and a supercharger, Civic is a diesel drag racer, and the Corolla is a trailer racer making about 450 hp, at the rear wheels, with an N/A engine.... looks like shit though xD
# zerito : Tho' Im itching to get a missile, any recomendations? Personally, I'd go with a 240SX (S13) with the 2.4 L KA24DE I4 in it, and maybe swap it out after it gets beat up a bit for a TT LS3... That's just me though. I got a Fiero because its different from what everyone else has. The S13 has a really nice chassis, and I've seen same pretty sweet door to doors with them... Or maybe a 2001 BMW 3 Series...

Well usually they are like cylinders on left & right sides, currently they are 3 front & 3 back.
But now I googled how it is in Eclipse, my fault

Most cars have them mounted the "right" way but on third and fourth gen Eclipse's since they are FWD the engine is mounted "Wrong". Second Gen's are 4bangers so thats why I shoehorned the engine on it. They are not the only Mitsus like this, 3000GT's also have the engine mounted the "wrong way"

Bad news today... I got seriously rear-ended by a SUV. Its left brakes locked up and the front right went straight into my rear. The chassis is bent so bad that the car is totaled. Her (the driver of the SUV) excuse was that she wasn't paying attention to the traffic lights... My neck hurts a bit but I'll be fine in a few days. If someone wants to buy parts for it feel free to contact me. I'll send it off to the junkyard in about a week.

1800 bucks for the engine; It is a GReddy turbocharged 2JZGTE. The exhaust pipe is bent but if you don't care you can have that one too. Give me 50 for it and It'll be fine.
