Hello All! I am Nic (screen name Driftphantom) down here in sunny California. Fresh out of university, I work in an office as ordinary desk jockey. After a few weeks of searching for a good daily, I settled on this mint 02 VW Bora v6 with 87,500 miles. This was a garage kept car all its life, so the paint and interior are pretty good nick. This car came out to V$6,400 which may have been a little pricy but oh well haha.

3/12/16- Purchased Car







All she is waiting on now is Plates :D big plans coming soon

V$20,000 - V$6,400= V$13,600

3/13/16-

I took the car out for a cruise on temporary tags while I waited for the official ones to arrive. It was a beautiful sunny day, and instead of being unbearably California hot, there was a nice little breeze from the west. The city was awesome. I even saw a Nissan GTR! Lime green isn't really my first choice in color but hey, it was still pretty sick. Also, I stopped by a local auto parts store and picked up a license plate relocation kit (V$25) and headed back to the house







When I got home, I saw that my new license plates had arrived in the mail! I love how they turned out. took me 15 minutes to install new plate placement. the kit came with all the brackets and screws I needed. If you see me out, let me know how you like it.



I'm gonna try to get some coilovers soon, anyone know of any shops that can hook me up? Preferably with H&R

No photos of the car today because nothing has really changed, but it did scoop up some coils for the Jetta :D I had SHAN3' ship me some H&R Ultra Lows for just V$980. Install coming in a day or two.
V$13,525- V$980 = V$12,545

Also, its Payday! V$12,545+ V$375= V$12,920

Today I had some free time so I slapped the coils on the Jetta. Before that, I received a brand new Hydraulic jack and Cross bar from Doge and his shop. If you haven't already, go check his place out, he has awesome deals and great customer service! I had to do the install in the street cause my driveway is too sloped.. the install on the front wasn't too bad. there was the occasional stuck bolt, but nothing a large breaker bar couldn't fix



With the fronts on alone, you could tell this was a very nice drop



From that came the rears, and these were even more simple than the fronts, more or less just dropped the old assembly and threw in the new stuff



And with that she was low! I got some weird camber in the front but nothing that cant be fixed with a proper alignment. the settings haven't been adjusted yet, I am waiting to see if they settle any more.



I couldn't wait to hit the streets at my new height. there was minimal rubbing over bumps, I may have to stiffen the dampening a few clicks. a couple of the neighborhood kids saw me pull up at the light at the exit of my neighbor hood and snapped this photo. I am thinking they like it too :D



I pulled off the road during my cruise so I could snap a pic for myself. the car is looking good but it needs to be even lower imo.



I finished my cruise off by stopping for oil at the local auto parts store, then came home to change it. Anyone else about this 2.8 life?

Sorry for the delay I've been gone awhile I had to attend Import Alliance ATL (True Story it was amazing). In my absence alot has happend with my financial situation:

1. I won a supra! Well, if you can count buying at auction winning. It is a non turbo mk4 with 200,000km on the clock. Yeah I might have spent way too much (V$6500) but I have a feeling it will be worth it. It is in transit now

2. Custom LCAs for the Jetta. Yup! the fantastic team over at Vstanced Garage were able to hook me up with some custom made lower control arms for my 2.8L rocket. They were only V$400 and I am currently stalking the UPS tracking to see when they finally arrive.

3. Last but not least, Payday was yesterday, (3/21/16) so I got alittle recovery from my mass spending spree.

Yeah man for sure! thanks i'll take it

V$6,095-V$80= V$6,015
+ Wing for Jetta

3/24/16

After a long time waiting, my supra has finally arrived! First let me address the change in wheels. When speaking to the Auction company about delivering the car, they informed me that 3 the 4 17in alloys that it was supposed to come with where bent severely or cracked. The car had the OEM wheels stuffed in the trunk, so they were thrown on for delivery. I liked the stock wheels better anyways







This is a 2000 Toyota Supra SZ, meaning it is the 5 speed non turbo model



I want to make this my daily driver while I work on the bora, but first I need to hit the part auctions and junkyards looking for that right headlight and front bumper. other than that, this car is mint. and V$6500 isn't too bad of a price for the US. Even with over 20000km (124274 miles)

As for the bora, I should be installing the new LCAs I got from Vstanced Garage soon, maybe later on today or tomorrow.

Another Supra here! I like it. I think you paid a little too much for it, but sometimes it's like this at the auctions. I still have an original front bumper if you need it, but it's not really in good shape, so you can have it for very cheap. I hope the engine is running well and i'm looking forward to your plans for it! :)

I would love to get my hands on that bumper man! how much you want for it? And here in the states, you cant find a supra for less than 15k even in this condition. I saw a 98 shell go for 8k! (true story, only a roller for 8k usd). As for plans, in the near future I should be looking for the engine out of an SZ-R or an RZ. as I want a turbo version an life will be complete. also, a color change is in order, I cant have too many grey/silver cars haha

Added 1 hour 4 minutes later:

Update: I have purchased the Supra front bumper from @Lagano for V$100

6,015-100= V$5,915

3/27/16-

Here today I have updates over both cars

First, The front bumper I received for the supra was pretty beat up, but not beyond repair. I ended up sanding it down and patching the holes up here and there. finally I hit it with some primer, then a coat of gloss white paint, which I picked up from the auto store down the road. With the front bumper on, I was then able to slap my new plates on the car, and this morning I took it out for a little drive. here is a shot from then. Also, I am thinking of a full respray once I find a right headlight, so any suggestions would be appreciated:



Second, for the rest of the day I worked on installing my custom LCAs on the Jetta. These are Custom built and refurbished at the Vstanced Garage, and include brand new bushings as well. When paired with the camber plates that came on my H&R coilovers, this provides maximum adjustability. because I haven't gone any lower yet, the front sits at a modest -2.5 and the rear is sitting at -4. I'm planning to go even lower when I find some wheels, so having the support side of things controlled is a really big help. Cant wait for the day I can run onikyan fitment

Thank you dude! Yeah I am on the lookout for some 17s or 18s but I haven't decided on a style yet. I am waiting to see if Vstanced Garage gets in another set of extremely rare wheels to make sure that this bora is the most unique one in Cali

Thanks man I appreciate the love, Ive always been into JDM cars so this Bora was a step out of my comfort zone

# Phonexius : Nice cars man. Excited to see how the supra will look in the end. Good Luck

Thanks! the supra is currently a daily, but we shall see what she becomes, nothing stays stock for long here ;)

# Lagano : Hey man if you're looking for some wheels i have some TSW 17's.

Thanks for the offer, but I am going to have to decline, I've got a few ideas in mind

3/31/16-

The supra finally can see from both eyes! lol, but really though, after exploring the deepest parts of ebay motors, I found a right headlight for my supra (V$80). I Spent several hours using headlight restorer in order to get it back clear and installed it. now the car is ready for paint! I am thinking something dark red... hmmm

So today I've been here at Green Slip Automotive Collison Repair Center Getting the Supra prepped for paint. So far today we wet sanded the remainder of the clear coat off and did some repair on all the blemishes that have come from this car's 16 year life (its a 2000 model).





Stay tuned for updates, for now it is me and the Jetta :D

4/6/16-

I've got some good news and some bad news. The bad news is, unfortunately the order of the CCWs fell through. but don't be sad, cause the good news is I still got me some unique wheels! I introduce you to the Alfa Romeo Telladials:



As you can see these aren't exactly at OEM specifications lol. I bought these from CALLmeSCOOBY (V$750) just like this, a 1pc to 3pc conversion. In this setting the wheels are 17x10 with +0 offset front and -13 rear. I went ahead and adjusted my suspension to get the sitting proper as well. I drop the rear another half inch and cambered the wheels out more. The front now sits at -4 degrees while the rear now sits at -5.5





I am loving the fitment in the rear, but the I feel may need a bit more adjusting. Any thoughts you guys? Also, I didn't take any proper pics of it, but I finally threw the wing on the back, currently it is just 3m taped while I decide if I want to run it or not. I will get it color matched and bolted up proper most likely.

In other car news, the Supra should be back today or tomorrow!

V$6,330-750= V$5,580

Also, I picked up Mondays check: V$5,580+415= V$5,995

Hey guys long time no see! I've been a bit absent due to things getting alittle crazy in my personal life, but I haven't forgotten about good old VStanced. I come to you today with updates on both cars. Lets start with the Supra...: IT'S HERE!







Haha I know I teased about this a long time ago, but never got around to posting it. Here is the daily in its new color! Shout out to the guys over a Green Slip for the paint. In addition to the Supra, the jetta got some love too.





Due to the stock system constantly knocking against the ground, I went out a got some blast pipes fabricated. The front camber was adjusted too, it now sits at -6.5 degrees. I think it is time to switch up the wheels too, if you have any 17s or 18s laying around hit me up. Finally, I know some are wondering about the grille. I am thinking about the angry look, stay tuned

Supra is really nice with the new colour! Keep it clean. And the Jetta is just crazy. It's a kinda strange combination, VW with Alfa rims, but it looks interesting, so you will turn some heads with it. :P
@Smokiegun Just don't have ridiculous camber on your TSX. :D

I guess you've finally achieved that onikyan fitment that you've wanted on your Bora, just realized. Looks mint, could use some lower profile tires though and more stretch if you want to run more offset.

Thank all you guys for the kind words! @Marcus915 you are right, we will probably see the wheel and tire combo switched up on this pretty soon.

@Smokiegun I am honored that my style has inspired you and I am very recited to see what becomes of that tsx!

What's up party people back in with some updates to the Jetta:

1.)I got my RDX Boser hood extensions molded onto this donor hood I got from a rear collision Gli at a local pull appart(V$385)



Pretty satisfied with how it came out to be honest. this will look so much better when the car is painted up properly. Also, 2.) I was able to pick up some 04 taillights (V$80) while I was there too, I have always liked these a lot more than the 02 stock red ones



Beauty shot!



It is now time for paint and new wheel setup. The car has been shipped off and now I am driving the Supra again :) Stay tuned, might leak my rim choice soon. till then, The Alfa Teledials are FOR SALE. The specs are 17x10 all around and are wrapped in Dunlops

Price: V$1000 w/ Tires; V$750 without

There is an ad in the used parts section as well

5/2/16-

what's up guys so I am back here at Green Slip Automotive Collison Repair Center, this time giving the Jetta some much deserved TLC in the paint department. Today we stripped the car of lights, plates, mirrors, the wing and even the door trim. I am gonna keep that smooth and shaved. We patched the holes where the trim went on both sides and primered the car up. The front bumper was badly chipped all over so I ended up essentially resurfacing it. In addition, I picked up a new lip and slapped it on. I had to cut a way the oem splash guard that was covering the underside, but some zipties will hold it in place from now on. I took the telidials off and are currently storing them in the garage. They are still FOR SALE, just phone me up and make an offer. Here are some pics from today



The Jetta looks soo funny with my previous wheel setup's camber settings lol. I need new wheels ASAP



Also, Payday!

V$6,000+V$470= V$6,470 :D
