So this guy came into the shop with a decent Sonoma. I liked the color on it...
  So you may be wondering why it has such a HUGE exhaust pipe.... Well, here's the answer  The thing is 2JZ-GTE Swapped with a Greddy turbo and a catback 3 inch exhaust. Which reminds me, I can fab up some exhaust for that Evo 6 Tom... Also, long story short, I own a 2JZ Swapped Sonoma now for $5k xD I got plans for this thing. Mainly, dropping it, bigger wheels and brakes, stereo system, bags, car meets... xD Also, I did some donutz  Added 15 minute later: *EDIT* Fred just visited me, and told me he wants a custom car built to represent the shop... That's a HUGE honor because every year HE usually builds the car himself. LAst year was the GNX racer thing... I just helped on it... What vehicle should I get guys?? I have NOO idea what to get lol |

Haku, sweet truck man! The color looks mint!
Ey Papa, hoe many engines do you have? I've seen you try to sell atleast 4 this week. And where the hell do you get the money from to build all this shit i can barely afford new tires for the SX and you just bought 2 new cars and 1 has already been completed. Where can i sign up for the job you have? |

I just finished installing and adjusting the doors + trunk lid. Also went to the auto wreckers and picked up an oil cooler and an intercooler which are both in pretty good shape. Now I'll load this thing up on the trailer and get it over to dxg for the 3" exhaust.

Since it was my day off I took my cars to dxg for dyno. Guy is awesome and helped a lot with the tunes! I was impressed by the numbers we achieved on the Porsche.
 The BMW did well but I think I might remove the SC and go NA since it really isnt doing much anyway. And its my DD.

No thanks Ey Papa, I don't like LS engines. I bought RB26DET from brother's import shop. It has minor modifications with pretty much stock turbo.
 I need to paint this car one day, but first I need to fix the panels & buy new bumpers.

So my boy Mike has been working on bringin his baby back to life. He sent me some progress pictures today.
 Bodywork is pretty much done and the special something something was bolted on and test fitter on the M5 V10. And he found the parts he had so hes test fitting the front end.  Also, my wife thinks the BMW as a DD is not reliable enough, and hates the yellow color it has lol so she pretty much made me look around for something new. Im keep the BMW tho' I might invest in modding it now  Anyways I spent a few days looking around and I think I stuck a good deal. $3500, pretty much mint condition. Has lowering springs and wheels already. Engine is a NA EJ25. Picking it up tomorrow. Dont expect too many mods on it since I dont want the wife to be mad at me

 The guys over at Valo JDM was awesome enough to help with the install. went out to the motorsport park just before day break to test the motor out..   .. and Johnny Law was not happy about my exhaustless hooning. got a ticket for noise and a warning for trespassing since it was before the track opened for the day *sigh*  Got my bumper reinstalled, probably gonna flip the headlights up (by hand) and order some steering knuckles form Get Nutz Lab. @Dxg can you fab me up a twin boso muffler? about 2.5in |

Hello people!
I gave the e36 a nice wash the other day. It was a nice day outside so why not. Also went cruising with Greg and some of his friends. Felt kinda weird considering I was driving a bmw while Greg and his friend drove old 70's v8 monsters But hey they werent hatin and neither were I. Here she is after the wash. I forgot to tell you I bought a set of 16 inch Work Ewing's. They werent cheap but they seemed to be a good investment. Im almost considering the car is done but it's a project car and as said before those are never done Dont have any big plans at the moment tho.

I was thinking maybe some kind of Cuda... OOHHH How about an '85 K5 Blazer?! Make it run just like a muscle car, drive like one (I.E. fast in a straight line but can't turn for shit), and paint it some famous Chevy muscle car color? Fred just told me that the budget is $250,000... I didn't know it was THAT much, I assumed about 100k, but whateves.
Added 36 minutes later: So, just decided something... Tom Diablo, would you like to go to DVAP with me to look for a K5 Blazer shell? We can take my 2500 and the 3 car covered trailer if you want. Might use some of the budget to buy something for YOU to work on xD This post was edited by dxg1997 (2015-02-28 23:02, ago) |

ok 1st of all
thnx to @Tom Diablo for helping out with the engine pickup.Good we stoped with beers cause we would of get drunk thnx to @Ey Papa for the EJ25, engine looks clean as fuck, instalation was easy and it started without any problems Me and my friends just painted the covers and the intake, and got it in.Had some aftermarket parts delivered today from the near shop, just some minor bits like the Fuel rail, and HKS intercooler with piping.We started the car, it works like it was in here for years.Didnt drove cause its rlly late.Will go for a spin tomorrow.Didnt take many pictures cause we were in hurry to get it inside the car.Then just mounted the previously finished body parts.   Next are new Rims and Tyres, and try to get it lower.And ofcorse, need a car for my wife, but i need something newer for her and smaller.It needs to be reliable, wont be tuned, maybe ill put rims if she agrees on that. Any sugestions on a small reliable newer car for women?Some small city cars, so she can get the kid in the back seat and enought storage for grocerys??? |
