I'm already working on getting it to be a twin turbo. A twin turbo system as well as new wheels are on the way. Why are we fucked though?

We're fucked because I got the Audi back! Awesome color, and working on the trans tunnel now.
Are the gauges adequate? I want to keep the interior bare, to keep the weight down. The mounts I made, well, their totally solid (billet steel), but they work. Gonna try to make some polyurethane ones. I got it started, but it didn't move under its own power. The car is probably going to rattle itself to pieces until the new mounts xD [1 hour later] Got the tunnel hammered out, not pretty, but it fits. Gonna fix it soon, just wanted to get the trans and drivelines in there. I trailered it out to the test track with the 2500, but got pulled over. Why you may ask? because my fucking brakelight was out -_- The cop asked if it was the first time the car had been started, and if he could come and watch. There's NO exhaust in the car at all. It ends after the manifolds xD |

@PTG, so do I have to have exhaust on the car? some kind of muffler? Cuz I kinda like how deafeningly loud it is, rattling the floorboards xD I might make some boso exhausts and just make them exit right behind the front tires, but before the door xD
Added 3 minutes later: # dxg1997 : Could some people design a "Daily Driven" sticker for the back of my 2004 Impretza? I've already put 1000 miles onto it, and really want to show that cars like that can be driven daily. I'll put all the ones submitted somewhere on the car. So, if everyone makes one, I could have about 15 DD stickers on my car Also, just bumping this. |

All this sitting around thinking about the race at Tsukuba convinced me to go to the bank and get a loan. I put my 66 C-10 on the back burner, pretty much moved into the garage, and made a new toy.
Here's the heart of the beast. If you wanna ruin my surprise, clicky. (you know you never liked waiting until christmas to unwrap presents as a kid) Added 2 minutes later: Fyi, she's on a very low boost tune, per the regulations at Tsukuba. |

I was betting some sort of drift event, but if it's a time-attack, I'll just have to do a simple coil over swap and setup the suspension a bit different, but I would like it to be clarified myself.

Ok an update from me.
The Subby was in the paintshop for the last week and it came home yesterday, we were today on it to mount the parts back on.So, i got a few things ordered in the last few weeks.Got Varis sideskirts and hood, got smoked taillights and clear chrome headlifhts.The biggest change was my susspension.After a long time i decided and went to AccuAir and got a kit from them and plus got a fine deal with them.If i run their setup on the biggest shows in country i will get a sett of wheels with tyres for my car.So i decided to take the deal.They mounted everything up and when i saw the wheels i was blown.They mounted a fine set of 18" Vip Modular VX210 wraped in BFGoodrich tyres streched to sit as sexy as they can.Aswel finaly got some seats for the car and droped the stock ones out and put my new RECARO's in.And i found a Wooden Nardi wheel on Ebay so i got that aswel.All in all the color was a hard decision.I thought betwen a darker yellow or a bright and strong red.In the end the red won.I dont even know if you guys read this so lets go on with the pics. I will have some better pics in a few hours.My DSLR is at my friends house when we last went to a photoshot.He will bring it latter today and then ill provide you with some quality pics. |

Some updates on the Volvo 850R. Got some new parts fitted on which I found at a few junkyards.
Also got a custom built Subaru engine. Exactly 450 hp so it's perfect for the job. Stripped the interior out for weight reduction. This car ain't light. Sorry for the blandness of this post, I'm writing it for the third time because VStanced is giving me a fucking URL error. |

I'm getting a supercharger for the stang, just that the turbos put out more power XD. And i'm prepping the S2k today, replacing the tires, did a few test runs on the local track. Got some new 17" rims too. And sad to say, the engine gave. Now I have to find a new engine to swap in, apparently 18 psi for the turbo was too much, and the block blew, a solid hole. Whole left fender is gone. Just hoping I can fix this. There's one week left.

Late 70s Corolla like the one in my sig^^ Welcome to Valo and VStanced!
Good news and bad news on the Corolla: The good news is: I got the engine and tranny bolted together. The bad news is: The wiring in the car is one horrible hackjob. I need a few days to straighten that out. I've also put on all the parts that were lying inside and on top of it. Here is the engine: |

Well guys, its sad to state that the S2000 will not be able to participate in the Tsukuba event, i'm scavenging for another car right now, my only driveable vehicle is my Mustang, so i'll have to deal with it for now, i'll look around for another car to get ready, I only have one week left. (And from the blown block metal went everywhere and busted the chassis frame. Thats why it wont participate.)

Well I found a car for the competition! As soon as I passed Joes Dealer I caught a glimpse of this beauty!
Took her home and got the paint situated. And then I installed the new rims, and have spare tires from the s2000, and I also took the racing seat out of the S2k too. If anyone knows someone with a 2JZ please tell me, I need to put one into the car quick! AND YES!I know the picture quality is shit, I don't know how to make it better... |

finally the parts i ordered came in. a new Spoiler, Tein springs and shocks, a new steering wheel with snap off system, front and rear swaybars, new 16" Advan rims with Dunlop tires, new aerodynamic headlights, a used bumper and a bigger Turbo
the car weighs just under 3000 pounds and has just under 300hp. the turbo setup is risky since the engine is just a 1.8 but i'll take that risk to try and beat you bastards it's pushing at 1.6 bar |

OK GUYS! So when the event starts what you do is you have to meet regulations first of all! And then you take your car and run it around the track for 10 Laps, you have 2 sets of tires to go through. Take a picture of your fastest lap and post it to this build page/pages.
@Snowfox I got a hold of the 2JZ that Tom told me about thanks though wanna start off with a basic 2JZ. And nice car, good luck! |
