I've been busy getting the new engine in. Also installed the new pistons and con rods. The old CA18DE is for sale if someone wants to have it. Has 245 k kilometeres on it and I'd recommend a rebuild before installing it into a car. Just give me an offer.
The new engine: (Good thing the table is heavy-duty XD )

The blue head cover was already on there. Installing it was pretty straightforward.

Took it for a spin and boy, it goes! I've ordered a new suspension and bigger brakes for it to cope with the power

Came together pretty nice
I stuck with the Blue, considering most of the parts were that color anyway.
Bilstein B14 PSS Coilovers,decent low
Still iffy on the wheels and color to be honest, but I decided to go with a pair of Work Eurolines (18's) for now
Any paint and Wheel suggestions are open

Hm, I was looking for something more sporty. Thanks for the offer though, I may have a friend that's interested. What's the bolt pattern?

Shit man,those look great but my BRZ is 5x100. I'm looking for a set that doesn't need redrilling because I may sell the wheels back and I'm afraid that redrilling might just depreciate the cost.

They're 5x114.3 as well. :D Good luck with finding your own wheels.

Also I think I might hold onto these wheels, but if he's interested in some white Volk TE37's 19x9 in front and 19x10 in rear, same bolt pattern, let me know. These are only $950.

Only 1 payment left till the ep3 is fully mine! I thought id celebrate and treat her to some new coilovers. These are skunk2 pro and look at that drop!





They can still be spun down about another half inch, but I think this height right here is good till I get new wheels. the rear slightly rubs on speed bumps. More pics:







I need spacers and new wheels in order to be happy. any suggestions? 5x114.3 is needed. I just set an order for the euro spec projector headlights. im super excited (:

I ended up selling my STi daily driver. There was no room for a subaru in my nissan family and as great as that car was, I was starting to drive the R32 more than the STi. Since this was the case, I decided it was best to say goodbye and sell it to someone who can use it better. Anyway, who wouldn't want to daily a Skyline?

I noticed something wrong with the car after about a week of driving it. At low revs the cams seemed to be acting up. At first I thought it might just be some cheap aftermarket cams that weren't listed, but I did a quick check when I got home and it came to my attention that they were the stock camshafts. Suppose that they were just at the end of their life. I ordered a pair of HKS camshafts and got to work.



I took off the head cover and took a look at the sparkplugs, which were also looking pretty rough. Thankfully had some extras that I picked up for the R33, so I switched over the old for the new and then got back to work installing the new camshafts. Sometime later they were in and looking pretty nice, too.



If I'm going to be dailying this car then I'll have to do some more engine maintenance, but for now it's running strong and more powerful than before.

Since the last time I posted my R32 up I've got a few things done to it. I ordered some custom LED rear lights and I quite like them. Also got the rear half of the car's windows tinted. Fronts aren't done to avoid getting ticketed for it. The car is already a police magnet. More about that later.

Well you seen then I got the idea of switching over my wheels for the ones I wanted to sell to Shaforostov. I've never been more thankful that someone didn't want to buy something from me, because after putting the first one on the car, I knew I made the right choice by swapping them.



God damn.









When I was on the way to the two parking lots in the photos above, I got pulled over. I was actually surprised as I had done nothing wrong, as far as I could tell. I pulled over and talked to a very enthusiastic police officer. He was actually just very interested in my car and told me about how he has a 240sx as a project car and we talked about our plans for our cars, wheel set ups, things like that. We talked for probably 10 minutes before he had to go on his way. I gave him my card and told him to hit me up sometime if he's going to any drift events or whatever. Glad I didn't get a ticket for anything, not something I want to spend my money on.

Lastly, @Zerito

I saw your wife's car parked up the other day at city hall, very beautiful car.

@DriftPhantom

If 19s will fit your car, the TE37s I mentioned above are for sale if Shaforostov's friend isn't interested in them.

So, just moved to Valo a couple months ago and wanted to show my car's progress.

So I was walking home one day from school and decided to stop at Ol'Joe's and saw that he had a car i liked.

It was this '09 Honda Fit that had was a theft recovery vehicle. It was pretty stripped but Joe really wanted it gone as it was taking up space so I acquired this car at the price of $600. It had a stripped engine so it didn't run. I HAD planned to throw a k20 in this car but never got to.



This is after i got some replacement panels




Useless engine, was basically just a bare block with internals.

Just a rolling shell now


in primer, and some placeholder wheels because I sold the OEM's because they were mint, surprising for a car that was stolen at one point.

Rattlecan minty blue. Classy.

But the reality was that it was just a rolling shell. My hopes of having it ready to daily within a small amount of time went out the window. So i needed a cheap daily.
So in comes this



I purchased this slightly abused VW Jetta that had been in a few small crashes, hence the mismatched panels and badges, but with only 132xxx miles and a full service history, it was a good buy at $1500. It was cheap because it had a rebuilt title.
But this car was not without plans, i just wanted it to be a clean, cheap, low daily. I had bigger plans for the fit. So the fit sat around for a while I dailyed the jetta. It saw little work and little parts went on it after the Jetta was mine.

I found a killer deal on some body parts. This aftermarket no-name bumper and front lip cost me $60

This trunk spoiler and rear window spoiler cost me $50 used.


But with the nice body panels, the stock suspension and wheels looked dumb, so after a month of driving it like that and saving, i got some nice suspension and wheels. :D

I got some Bilstein fully adjustable coilovers and SSR Meshes for $1500
This picture is the suspension at its stock settings.


Front suspension looking nice.



The rear

Dat tuck :bananajump:

So I once again drove it like that for a while. That stance was so impractical but i had no choice, but who cares it looks cool.

In primer


And yet again I drove it like that for a while.

And sadly, to keep up the Jetta, I had to sell the fit :O

But....


And after some saving...

Yes, it's an LS3.

Mocked up


ALIVEEEEEEEEEE


CAI


Took it to my friend's shop


Taking it out in town.


This little car is FAAAAST. Very fast. But very uncomfortable, and it absolutely DRINKS petrol.

Dyno


Swag exhaust


Stripped down for paint :D

Went for an unusual color


Took it for a photoshoot


And after trying to do a lap at the Ring, this happened....
*LINK*
*LINK*

So that hood was ruined, so it haaad to go.


And i stopped working on it and stopped driving it for a while and bought this for $900

And i promise that that car is JUST A DAILY! No mods.

So i started driving the civic as a daily, and never replaced the hood on the Jetta.

Changed CAI orientation


Painted VC's and custom pod filter


So that's how it sits at the moment


Aaaand, IT's FOR SALE!! I know, you may have seen it in Valo and been like WTF bro wats dis. But yeah, make me an offer on it, want another project, and in fact, i already have another project


I picked this up from a friend for $1200. It's an imported Civic Type R shell that's been stripped down quite a bit, but a CTR nonetheless.


And JdmSly, i have a spare LS3 laying around if you want it :D

So I moved to an other part of the Netherlands and I couldnt take my supra with me, i really wanted one so i went on a search for a "new" one, saw a post on the supra forums about a guy selling his SZ supra with only 56478KM for €4K, in Anthracite.. it looks pretty bad though but i bought it.




Spec list:
I dont know what coilover kit its sitting on but its not stock
Bone stock 2JZ-GE
Ridox Front Bumper
Top Secret Brake kit
SSR GT-F01 (huehue) all around with Bridgestone RE002's around 'em
Random brand LED Taillights
TRD Muffler
Random foil on the headlights

First thing i'm going to do is get it to a paint shop, if i can find one around here.

Ey boss, nice supra.

@Guy with V8 powered Bora/Jetta...?

You need to limit the amount of photos you post in the thread dude, you're taking up some people's bandwith and time having to wait for all those to load and then scroll through them. If they want to see your excess photos they will click on the spoiler button that you can make. Thanks.

It's not in a good shape, i actually payed too much for it.
Took it to a paint shop today and decided to get it painted in to an official supra colour, Blue Mica and i got my wheels plastidipped aswell.
Might save up for a turbo conversion but it won't happen any time soon.

I managed to snag a set of new wheels at a 50% off sale at the wheel shop near to me. It was a one day clearance sale with some great wheels available. After two hours of browsing though the catalog, I decided on a set of Gramlights 57D wheels- 18x9.5 +15 offset wrapped in Michelin 215/35/R18 tyres. Check it out-

Lovely.

$1600 for just the engine, or the entire car? Cuz I want the car lol. Dont much care for the engine. He needs it, I'll take the body

Added 13 minutes later:

*EDIT* I took the Silvia out to buy a few things. Decided to take it to the previous owners house to see what he thought. What I went out to get, was actually 2 things. A turbo kit (twin turbo to be exact) and a "Daily Drifted" sticker. I also picked up a "Daily Driven" sticker for the Subi.

That's just for the motor. He said he'll take $2000 for the shell. It's rough around the edges but it is an Altezza shell so...

Ive taken a liking to drifting and a little bit of stance too so i kept my eye open for anything that appealed to me and i came across this old beater for a unpassable $375 it had a blown sr in it when i purchased it but that will be coming out soon and well the body you will just have to see it for yourself.

So, took delivery of the altezza, its an AZ200, and literally just a shell. People got EVERYTHING off it. Gonna put the 2jz-GTE (Now) from the Varietta into it, some generic suspension, and maybe lights, and go hoon in the streets xD

Did some body work today and my oem fender, front bumper, and lip showed up. I also Bought a rocket bunny wing and a used hood, rear bumper and hatch.
After i yanked on the body for a while and got it where i wanted i decided to pull the old Blown SR out. So off came the "new to me" hood and i yanked the dead heart out of her.

I picked up a Freshly rebuilt Sr20-det from B&R Motorsports. And dropped that in. After I got that all situated I installed my new core support and and Body Panels. I also ordered a full set of kouki tails and installed them along with a new passenger side zenki headlight.
