Friend of mine stopped into the shop today for a vinyl wrap on his drift built E36 BMW.
Oh, and it's 13B powered making about 600HP to the wheels. Shots of the wrap will be shown later. |

# JDMgoatleg : strange , but i like it He bought the car for cheap about a year ago and ran the car until the engine finally gave up. He wanted to do something other than the regular 2JZ, LS, SR20 etc swaps that people do. He has mixed feelings on the rotary, but it gets sideways. By the way I'll bring your car to my shop and figure it out if you'd like. Car's vinyl wrap has been finished and a few decals applied, as well as we wrapped some parts he switched over his rear wheels to the ones he plans to run. |

I can probably fabricate a custom exhaust manifold for you and we can slap on a Turbo By Garret GTX3076R made for Evo X. I have one available right now.

Didn't get as much done over the last week or so due to other more important stuff popping up that needed to be dealt with. The S14 got a new front grill which I think looks nicer than the stock one and tinted indicators. As well as that I also ordered a few stickers for it. I am also planning to go for the Kouki front end once I'm back from my holiday.

I've sold the G8 a long time ago, to pay for the build of the R33 and for parts for the Supra. I'm pretty happy with the two cars I have now, although each is a little too extreme for a daily driver.
The two cars in my garage currently, that are "mine" (as opposed to being previously mine and then sold): The Skyline is incredibly rough to daily drive, in addition to being inconvenient because it's RHD. It turns the most heads, obviously - which is a good thing and a bad thing, since I don't exactly want people thinking I want to race them all the time; and it's red, and a Skyline, so police pay more attention to it. Consequently, it doesn't get a lot of mileage except on track days. Ultimately, it's built to be a highway battle and one-mile top speed machine, but I don't want to actually use it that way out of fear of wrecking it. Picking up and building the Supra was a wise idea. Rather than organizing a lot of the work myself, I had a shop handle a lot of it, and the result that came back is a much more usable street car that's just as much fun to drive as the R33, just less of a "prima donna". Specs on each: Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (BCNR33) Toyota Supra Turbo (JZA80) As I said, I sold the G8 to pay for the build and running costs of the R33, and to obtain the Supra. The owner happened to absolutely love everything that I had done with it, and didn't do much of anything to it except maintenance. He loaned it to me for the photo shoot. All I know is, I'll miss it. Pontiac G8 (VE) Full image set here. |

@Harrison, you add more info on your cars than people do in real life haha! Waiting for building updates
So, here's a update of my garage again. My best friend Daniel wanted to try out drifting. Since my S13 & S14 are in too good condition for drift beginner, I bought another 240SX S13. Why did I bought it not him? Because he doesn't have licenses & has nothing to do with it & I needed a beater missile anyway. About the beater itself, it moves forward (& backward) thanks to CA18DET. All mods on the engine is a small intercooler & spark plugs. Rear springs & shocks should be KSport drifting package & front is unknown. Front arms are modded & have bigger steering lock. Rear diff is welded too. I'm still laughing at the muffler as it's been hit to fit on the car lol. Exterior, well, it's ok. Front fenders are literally killed & I have a feeling that a new bumper is installed after collision that harmed the quarterpanels. Chassis has some rust when you look under the car (actually rust doesn't disappear when you are not looking under the car, sadly). Color is in good shape, no big scratches either dents (except my lovely front quarterpanels) & is actually really white. For fun I installed [HOONIGAN] & FLEWCREW stickers on taillight. Wheels are in good shape, I'm impressed that I got these for that small price. |

Sry for the long gap between updates. I have a break now so hopefully I cant be more consistant!
Anyways here is the car! This is how it looked when it was at stock height(monstertruck height) and no fitment whatsoever. Completely stock suspension components and no spacers. Got bored of it pretty quickly so decided to swap. ----------------------------- New Setup: H&R Ultra Low coilovers Modified steering knuckles Aftermarket sway bars Bunch of other goodies ----------------------------- As soon as my coilovers arrived from Germany I began stripping out the stock suspension components. From there it was fairly straight forwards, out with the old and in with the new. After one sleepless night and one grumpy gf(used the impact wrench countless times at 3 am in the night) it was in. I still have work to do to get it just right but that is the beauty of fully adjustable suspension components. Can always be changed! Enough talk here is the car in its current state. Fairly happy with the height. As I go along it will go up and down depending on what rims I have and personal preference. The rims are 19' concave Volk TE37's, only temporary as I'm borrowing them from a friend until I figure out what rims I want. That is also why I wont bother with the fitment just yet. Im possibly thinking about picking up a set of Euroline DH rims for it but not completely sold yet since they cost a fortune xD Let me know if you got a good suggestion. Anything is welcome! Next on the to do list is power upgrades! Will go over that in the next update but I can give you a hint and say that I'm waiting on parts to get delivered. May or may not be turbo-related, you will see! |

Here you go! A view of the Impala's new engine! All I need is plates for it and it's ready to roll! And the new kid on the block! The E24 that was on sale. As I said, I got it. It runs like new, and for its price, it wasn't just a steal, it was a heist! Here's the three of them! |

@Coprone making me wish I could pick up another S Chassis when I can barely afford my vehicles Let me know if you find another 240SX/200SX, If I can find something under $600 then I think I can work it out. Doesn't even have to be fully assembled, I still have my old 240SX Front end from my S13

Guys its been a while! Been working hard at the shop saving to get a nice new daily driver. Anyways the Supra is FINALLY done! Here are some shots.
Switched the from TT to a single big turbo. Its pushing around 420HP on premium gas now and the boosts smoothly and not all of a sudden like it used to. (Dunno if that makes sense lol. Anyways I been driving it for now since I sold the BMW and the Scooby. I've been working hard as f*ck latey and I can finally afford a new DD, hopefully it will be delivered soon |

Updates on the BRZ- Most of the suspension is done. I installed BC Racing Coilovers, Energy Bushings and Buddy Club Rear control arms. The Coilovers were set to give the car a 2.5" drop which was pretty drastic. Tomorrow, I'll take a trip to the wheel alignment shop and then look for some wheels to purchase by the next upcoming month.

I don't really need to do any brake upgrades because I don't have any plans to do a full engine build and increase the HP. Stock engine, stock brakes work fine.

@shaforostov I've got a set of shoes you can buy, Rotiform SCJ Custom Ordered 19x11 Rims, Step Lip, Chrome and brand new in box. Purchased for a project that I never used them on a few months ago, you can take them off my hands for $1200. Here is a picture I snapped a minute ago for you, test fitting it on my S13.
Can let me know and come pick them up whenever you'd like, I think they'd look great on the FRS. Added 51 minutes later: Added some new stickers to the car in preparation for some upcoming drift events. Royalty Drift is the drift crew I'm running, may have seen the sticker on the E36 I had in the shop the other day too. Any other drifters out here interested in joining the crew? I can print up a couple stickers for you if you're interested. (And by that I mean just send you the PNG file) Only requirement is that you can hold down a slide and have a good time.

Well guys, my previous save file got corrupted and I have to start over! Yay! I just decided to sell my truck for $7,500 and the Rx7 has blown a rotor, so I only have the 2000GT-R to work with, I hope I can get it prepped before Valo Matsuri! Here are the pics, and thanks Dxg for the custom exhaust!!!

I forgot to show off my wife's project car! Its been done for a while and shes been daily driving it around Valo.
Also my new DD arrived! Its a lightly used RS4 I changed the stock 20's for 19's. Ride feels better, I also tinted the windows. I might vinyl wrap it to something darker, too new to paint it |
