Looks like a S14 with the front of a S15... It's too dark to be sure.

Okay so here it is. My Mustang.
  It was an abandoned dragester project, and it had no wheels, so I fitted the off-road tires on it :|  Then I bought some Saleen parts. And they gave me a new windshield    And we come to today. The only progress I've done is paint the bumper black and the air vents and the hood red.  I'm trying to source a racing V8 engine, but I don't think I've got any chances. I'll try to find a powerful V8 to begin my racing project. This post was edited by Facepalm (2014-12-28 18:15, ago) |

So, the turbo kit arrived, and installed it, and went out for a spin in the car, and found something that I'm really exited about. This kid totaled his WRX, with a built up, but not turboed ej20, and I managed to buy the wheels and engine from him. The engine has a full HKS kit on it minus the turbos, which I asked Fred to see if he could get some from HKS. I stopped at my buddies body shop and had him take off the ugly trim from the car, and put some new bumpers on. Lights too! then he painted it all! Also had the windows tinted, and I payed just $350 for everything, and the car looks awesome now! I'll post some pics of me getting the engine and of the finished result soon! And as I type this, the car is warming up outside so I can go get a new grille, and some suspension!

So, I bought a nice wheel rack for the rally tires, and then I got a nice set of steelies for the Mustang!
 Then, I got contacted by a company called "Sagittarius Performance" and they wanted me to be my sponsor. They said they'd provide me with the missing parts. Since my money from the cars and the garage I sold in Japan are starting to slowly run out, I accepted the offer. And they did. First, I had to put their logo on my hood.  They did provide me with whatever I was missing, including a battery and the seats.  And it finally runs!  And we got a number! I'm number 14. Oh boy am I excited for tomorrow's tryouts!

They just contacted me again: They said they'll also give me a new garage! Sweet! That way, I'll just have to sell the old garage and I won't lose any of my cars. I'll go check it out tomorrow! It's nearby too!

Watch it be TINY AF. Oh, and that means you might not be on the same street as me! Ruh Roh...
Added 11 minutes later: Fred just drove this into the garage... His new car. I'm jealous AF. I brought up the GNX since he was in a good mood, expecting a big fat no, but he actually said I could use it! Just not to hurt it though.   Added 29 minutes later: Just noticed this little thing on the wheel of our GNX. I didn't know they WERE Limited! Anyone know how much these wheels are a piece?

Hey guys its been awile, everyone's rides are looking pretty sweet. @dxg1997 Fred has got great taste haha.
Anyways, a lot has happened since I last posted. first, I sold my daily 06 ex civic and my Integra Type-r. turns out I am not that good at time attack so I sold it to a guy who knew what he was doing xD finally, I had to part ways with my Z that I had been storing all winter, she deserved to be driven and not stored, and I was way to worried about that expensive ass kit and all the salt rusting my work equips.. so what was left was the trusty missile s13 onevia. unfortunately, it isn't road legal so it was time for a new daily. so now I present to you my new baby.. 2011 STI. here are some shots from today on my way home, had to fill her up, did some hooning earlier   I got this baby for a deal because it was a dealer test car. it only had 88 miles on it! they still had to sell it s certified pre-owned (; I got home and popped the hood for you guys to see that beautiful ej25  more to come of this beast, anyone know a good muffler shop that could fabricate me a custom turbo back exhaust? |

Post them on the Classifieds thread! You might get a response there. I did for the Z and the Ram. Facepalm bought em.
Added 47 minutes later: Working on that Impreza made me want another one... So I went and bought one! I missed my old Wagon, so, I picked up a beat to shit WRX STi Wagon. I borrowed the Hummer to tow it. Thats the only thing I miss about the Duramax, is towing things. The turbo on the EJ is totally trashed. The bearing is shot, and the impeller is dinged and dented, with 2 of the blades missing. The alternator is missing, the water pump is there, but no piping, or radiator. Already asked Fred to add one more turbo to the HKS list. That and an intercooler, intake, and fuel rail. I'm considering making this into a dragster... What do you guys think?    We put the car onto the lift (just pretend it actually touches lol) and some of the parts didn't want to really move...  The muffler actually broke off the rest of the pipe!  Took the broken bodywork off, and removed the engine to be rebuilt  Put it back onto the lift, and removed the old suspension, because those old springs and shocks were so soft, that if someone leaned against the car, it would hit the frame against the ground. I ordered some air bags already, cuz I really like what Coprone did to his Subi. I like the 5-spoke look, but not sure what I want to get...

After a good week all the engine mounts are modified and the engine installed:
 The suspension arrived but I'll do the wiring and piping first. @dxg: can your guys do a Stage 1 turbo swap for a 1980s 4A-GE? After the car isn't that crappy anymore. |

# Tom Diablo : After a good week all the engine mounts are modified and the engine installed: Yeah, we can. Shouldn't be an issue. Any particular brand you looking for? (I might start putting our logo on some cars xD) # stonedmonster : i just picked up a rolla and a smashed sr20 rolla transfered the engine exhaust and suspension have pics will upload them soon @dxg could you guys have engine mounts ready in 3 days for a 1jz swap into a corolla sedan as i need them asap We can have them ready in one day if needbe. What year Corolla? Added 2 hours later: So, I picked up an old Mercedes S-Class W126... Its got a 3.5 litre 6 cylinder diesel. I will definitely get a large turbo for this thing, and short pipe the hell out of it, but keep it comfortable enough for a daily... I might even rebore it, and get better heads... (ignore that it looks like an RB26  ) I'll post some pics of it when I wake up in 6 hours... It's 5 am, and I'm tired xD

@dxg: A GReddy would be cool, since the suspension will be a GReddy, too!
Oh, by the way: can you modify a driveshaft so that it'll fit a Toyota transmission and a Volskwagen rear axle? That would be great since it'ts one of the few things I can't do myself. The logo is a great Idea! (The golf isn't decalable but I found a thread to "fix" it) |

Sweet! I'll start looking for something. If you want I can come pick up the engine from you. You'll hear the Volvo easily a block away because of the 3.50 inch dual straight pipes. I'll take you to lunch or something. I know this really good steak place...

Would that be okay?Sure, a complete Toyota drivetrain is better than a hacked Toyota/VW combination drivetrain. I can load the Golf on a trailer and bring it over. The engine isn't wired in yet so it won't start. Fitting the rear axle won't be easy since the car was FWD. |
