Any suggestions on what to do to it? I don't know, maybe return it to its rightful owner? You can't just tow away a car like that, you know...

I'll try to get some cash up from Valo Matsuri and or the garage we started, I guess it can be a drag showcar? With some slicks, and if I were to run it on the track, don't know, whatever it turns in to.

# Smokiegun : XD Now I feel like I stole.You did, you bad boy XD A drag car would be cool, especially since a good drag car will get some attention on the meets. Anyways, I've found a 1966 Chevy C10 tow truck. Needs some work but it costs only 800$. |

Today i went to an street race, suddenly an riced out Toyota Supra came up to me and challenged me to an race. Poor kid... I won and then he hit me REALLY hard in the back of my R32.
  I have enough money to repair it but i dont know how  Can i call this a wreck or should i try to find someone who can repair it?

# Smokiegun : And good luck with the truck, i'll stop by tomorrow after i've installed some parts to the Chevelle, might as well help you out with the truck, I don't know about Dxg and Facepalm..Thanks; I've picked it up and it looks like someone started to convert a regular C10 to be a tow truck. It needs a stronger rear suapension, mirrors and that massive front bumper. But the rest is in pretty good shape. The motor runs, but needs some work.   @pinter: Bring it to our garage; We can probably fix that |

Starting again because I've been absent for so long.
So I woke up this morning to see that my girlfriend had brought me an s14 rolling body for my birthday. The story behind the car is that it was used as a daily/track car. One track day it got stacked into the wall. The front of the car was very damaged. The owner took it off the road to work on. He chopped out the engine bay and planned on tube framming it but he just got caught up with his family and work. A year has passed and the car is dereg'd. After stripping the car of the engine, body kit, aftermarket suspension, wheels and interior he put the original parts back in (apart from evo wheels) and put it up for sale to fund other projects. I plan to get the car road legal again and have it as a track car. I've already started fabricating up a tube frame. This will be a slow process as I have other priorities.

 Okay, I fixed the front tire and found some parts on the junkyard, and now I'm really debating over Bright Red, Snow White or Bright Blue. What do you guys think? Still no engine btw.

I think you should paint it bright red. Because red is an classical colour!

I got some info about Valo Matsuri guys!
It will be held at Nevada Drift Depot. Take Highway 22 heading to south of Valo and follow the roadsigns from there. There will be signs and directions to the Matsuri along the way. ------------------------------ Here are the time schedules: SHOW AND SHINE - 8am-8pm DRIFT EVENT - 10am-10pm ------------------------------ This goes for both days, the event is next saturday and sunday(u can make it IRL time if you want) and during the main events there will also be foodstands and stands with cool accesories for your cars. There will be everything from steeringwheels to projectcars up for grabs! So, make your last finishing touches on your cars and I'll see you there! *GS300 UPDATE* Ordered suspension components for it. Went for Tein Shocks and Vstanced Springs. Keeping the stock swaybars for now. Might modify the knuckles for more lock but Im gonna have to consider it since it's my daily. |

Update #2.
Got tailights,sold the rear bumper ( Bodykit soon?), 3inch straight pipe all the way back with a Blitz muffler, scrapped the old, dusty KA, and bought a blacktop Sr20 off of a guy in Valo for $1500 (only 32k miles on engine, 2k miles on turbo) , (simple swap but the wiring harness I ordered took awhile to come in). Huge suspension upgrade. Tein Sideways Master Superdrift adjustable coils for $2200 ( never opened, so they were a steal in my opinion). And a Brembo big brake upgrade I bought for $3000 from a guy in Cali. 355mm in front with 6 Piston calipers, 322 Rears with 4 pots,and Brembo sport brake pads. Car is primered and awaiting a paintjob, not sure what color I want though (any suggestions are appreciated). The real bang for the buck I got was a set of authentic Hayashi streets for $1100, I knew I needed to grab them (16x13 et+6 on fronts and rears, set of almost new Toyo Proxes). Wheels are hella wide so I'm gonna end up getting qps and overfenders.     Added 4 minutes later: # Daniel : My car was rear-ended by some dicktard in an SUV. Nooooooooo not the Bimmer

Hey guys, back with some more news on the Chevelle, I decided I was going to make it into a Drag/Showcar. So we took it to our garage, and me and Tom sanded it down all the way to the core, and i'm gonna paint it either Blossom Blue or Cherry Red, whatever I'm in the mood for, I got most of the parts which were in the car, conveniently. And I put it on some shit steelies I had left over. Hoping I can get some cheap slicks and rims.

Well, i bought an rolling wreck from the junkyard. An crashed s14 Kouki, the engine itself still works, just needed some hotwire magic, but the chassis itself have had some better days... it needs to be repaired.
Basicly, this car is going to be restored. Here are some pics:   So i started the build of the s14. I started to take off body panels and got rid of them, then i started to take broken windows of. I stripped the interior too. Once again, PICS!:

So i'm back from work and I decided to take a look at the Chevelle, Tom helped me with installing the parts, and he found some old slicks and we swapped them on, the engine is a Naturally Aspirated LS3, Hoping we can go big on this one, will need the crews help, also me and Tom worked on getting the C10 Tower a newer look. Here are some pics from today.
  Here are also some more pics from when I arrived home, parked the (Functioning) Chevelle next to the Rx7 and took some pics XD.

She's finally done, s13 front end, Kouki Tails, Rocket Bunny Skirts and an Orgin Rear bumper, Onevia Spolier, rear overfenders and some camber and she sat real nice. Finally decided on a Root Beer Metallic color, looks a bit more unique that way, took her downtown and shot some pictures.
    Now I can grab another project
