@Coprone: You got your car back? I am lucky, too! The cops gave me a call, they found the mean green Cuda! They found it in a dealerhip that was suspicious to them for a whole while but they had no evidence. I'll pick it up today.
But first I'll show you the seat of the BMW:  The rest of the parts will be delivered next week. |

Started the suspension overhaul the last few days after work, it took a bit but got it pretty close I think for everyday driving the amount of camber the kit started at was pretty extreme and the rear toe would have ate through tyres pretty fast.
       Will do some testing and see how much needs adjusting for different uses plan on having a few specifications so I don't have to guess for track/street/drag/drift/top speed. I found a 964 front bumper and getting it painted later today, the next search is for some new rims I think or maybe time to swap out the stock brakes the GT2 parts currently get heat soaked pretty quickly and stop working so well after a little lapping or hard driving. Have a small gathering tomorrow to check out a few local cars and see what other people are working on, I'll get some pictures of that. |

Phantom, that was an awesome race man. I installed dual 4 inch straight pipes before I got there, but I need to swap out the tips. I also picked up some HKS gauges an an Auto meter gauge that i need to install. I loved the look on the officials faces when I revved her up a little. Hearing a 350Z Turbo, but only seeing a base model Regal must have been WEIRD!If you need any help building up your new ride, just swing on by my shop and I'll hook you up right man.

On my vacation to Japan I found a ugly ass 180, which didn't bothered me further until I noticed the sign that it was for sale. I bought it for 2,500$ in a decent condition. Someone crashed in the back so the owner sold it.
    I've done some small things onto it and will modify it when it got shipped to Europe again. I bought a new front and back bumper plus swapped that ugly i4 for a RB25DE Engine. I got a exhaust tip aswell. Now I have to wait till she's shipped and I will paint her dark red. Ima drift with her

>Finding a 240SX in JAPAN
>Swapping RB26DE engine Come on man, 180s are in Japan, 240s are in America. Also,you do know RB26 engines were never made from the Nissan factory in an N/A Variant,right? I really don't mean to be a "nitpicker" but these are really simple mistakes. |

Trying to decide on what tips I want. Leaning toward some huge Megan Racing ones and just shortpiping it right in front of the rear wheels... Also, looking into antilag. I kinda want the car to be banging all over the place while driving it lol. What do you guys think I should do?
Added 12 minutes later: OR I could just make the exhaust come right out of the front, without any exhaust xD No hood though lol This post was edited by dxg1997 (2015-01-30 21:17, ago) |

What do you guys think I should do?You can do the same thing that I wanna do with the BMW: shortpiping in front of the rear wheels Here is that's left of the Cuda:   Here's what is gone: -426 HEMI engine -Whole front end -Spoiler -Windshield was smashed (now removed) -NOS system I'll finish the BMW first then I'll check if someone is parting out a 1970 Barracuda. If not I'll head to Arizona again... |

New project car!
    I went and picked it up earlier today, was in better shape than I thought it would be in for sure! Things Iv'e done to it so far - SSR MKII that I had bought for a previous build, fresh tires to shred, stock front lip, some very much needed cleaning up, and some maintenance work. Runs great, so far no issues, brakes are worn out so gonna buy some new ones, also going to the scrapyard tomorrow to look for some other little goodies so we'll see what I find there cause you never know what you'll find. EDIT Just fixed front bumper

New car.
  Who wants to sell me some wheels? 16 or 17 inch. Tyres aren't needed, I'll pick some up myself. Show me what you got and name your price~ Plans are lower it and mess around, it'll be a cheap fun build. *Update!* Car is legally registered to Valo City now and has plates. Installed some cheap ebay adjustable coilovers, threw on my buddy's old rep wing, as well a Blitz realize TT exhaust tip.     I still need rims so if someone's got any, let me know

looks nice man! liking the Miata, heard they're fun to drive
 Not much happened in the past few days, it managed to find a used set of cheap 17' rims and a Hello Kitty exhaust tip, i'm kinda out of idea's with this car. i won't be able to continue racing with this since the body is feeling loose and the grip keeps getting worse even with new tires. i downed the turbo pressure from 1.5 back to 1.2 bar she should produce around 350hp now, i might sell it if someones interested in it.

It definitely gets used more than I anticipatedIf I wouldn't like it I wouldn't post so much here XD one month later: The BMW is basically finished now; It has 16x10 drag radials on OZ Superturizmo rims and wilwood 275mm brakes on the rear. Also HKS Hipermax coilovers  I'll sell the convertible in favor for the Cuda so that I can rebuild it. I'm not sure if I'll restore it to be a 340 again or try to find a bigger engine. Maybe a 383 from a Challenger or so... This post was edited by Tom Diablo (2015-01-31 10:25, ago) |

Picked up my new ride yesterday, a beautiful ap2 Honda s2000. this baby is bone stock and ready for power. I'm not sure what I want to do with it but I knoe it will be turbo. picking up a set of wheels today
   Added 1 hour 16 minutes later: Went and got my Work mister sp3's put on. I know it usually takes 8 weeks to ship here but these were originally were ordered for my evo so they made it here just in time to be re drilled and powder coated red. I kinda like the blue on red but i'm thinking maybe going with a gloss white. we will see after I get coilovers on it

Updates on the MX5.
I went looking and found a used hard top. They're usually crazy over priced, but this one had some leaks so I picked it up crazy cheap. Replaced all the old seals and tested it, no more leaks. Also found some rectangular lights to replace the stock circles. Neither of these bits are colour matched.   This is where my luck started to go down hill, however. My not so trusty 1.6l seized up on me, so that had to be pulled out. No progress photos on that because we did it at a shop pretty far away and I forgot the DSLR. I replaced it with a 1.8 that I stumbled upon for a decent price and it had low KMs. Once I went to pick it up I realized why the price was so good; 5 Speed. So I went from a 6 Speed to a 5 Speed, but the old 6 speed was pretty wonky and not worth switching over. New engine was fitted and then someone hit my car. I never saw who did it.  Sh*t happens, so I fabricated some new bumper mounts and fixed it. Then I found the perfect opportunity for some wheels. Someone on Kijiji was selling a set of 16x10 Hayashi Racing Streets for dirt cheap. Found out that's because they were practically dirt. I cleaned them up really well but I feel they're a bit played out. Anyone want to trade or buy? Let me know. $650 (OBO) for all 4, they're wrapped in brand new Toyota Proxes tires.  Also got myself a Nardi Torino steering wheel. My old one was pretty bad from the previous owner and I found this for a deal.   So that's it as of right now, may or may not paint the car. Don't want to lower it more on these wheels as I am looking to sell. Let me know if you're interested, Cheers Also if anyone is interested in the car it is available. $5000 firm with stock wheels thrown in plus the original lights. |

@Tom Diablo
Here's two of his cars. 4AGE AE86 imported as stock from Japan    And this insane car which is incredibly taboo. Genuine F40 that he bought with no engine. Put 2JZ in that now pushed 950HP. Air suspension + 19inch rims. Money buys a lot of things.
