Did some major spending on the z33 today. Lets start off with the new shoes. After seeing that sick s2k on here I knew I just had to get a set of work equip 05s. they sit pretty especially against the white. also, after running all over valo city, I got a hold of some 06 LED taillights and an 06 hood (seen later). I tinted the headlights and the taillights, loving the look. Here are some pics, the car is dismantled for the new kit I just bought:
  Now on to the kit. I went for the Fabulous full body kit, matched with the 06 Hood and new carbon mirror inserts. my exhaust needed a slight extension to fit properly, but other than that the kit was pretty easy to install. Now I just need to hit the paint booth. any ideas on colors? or should I stick to white?

-->About a month later<--
The two Porsches are done! Here the Targa, which was pretty simple. The motor runs fine and it just needed the running gear completed.   The 959 took most of the time so here it is:   It has brakes by endless and a Subaru EJ25 STI as a powerplant. It needed the tranny "reversed" because it sits like this in the engine bay:  Found a new Project: A 1970 Stingray. It is in pretty rough shape and the 397CUI engine is pretty much done for; It definately has a crank knock. I am still not sure if I will fetch a V10 to put in it (the engine bay is so damn long) or order a LS3.

  Doesn't look like there has been a ton of work done, but I have made some progress. It's on steelies, cause of winter coming soon, so I thought I'd throw the winter tires on. It's also been lowered a little bit on some cheap coilovers from Germany. I also installed a spacer kit, to fill out those wheel arches more. I also got some new fogs, put the tinted lenses from the old ones, and got the orange indicators. It has been completely resprayed, because the front bumper needed to be done, but the color didn't match, so I just decided to get the whole car done. |

Odd one here. Got another RB engine (I must be in love with these) for the S13, the one which is not hatchback lol. So I put that engine in, bought a rollbar kit & seat. Don't mind the exhaust

Well,I ended up parting out the Altezza and selling everything else because it ran into some legality and registration issues. With that being said, I went out and got a new project car- a beater ass S13.
It's got a factory stock CA18DE with a 5 speed manual trans and a banged up body. It's sitting on 16 inch steel rims and awaiting a 5 lug conversion. The interior parts are still there but they've suffered years of wear and tear. A lot of the body parts are mismatched, scratched and banged up,but I'll get to work on everything and sort it out. Here are some pictures-    --ONE WEEK LATER--
The front cut arrived from Japan. Time to begin the swap.  |

I think I saw your S13 near valo junkyard.
Anyway, my new 13's body is so good & clean I decided not to use as missile. Removing the engine to make the hood fit... This one's probably going to another showcar.

 Not enough time to take any more pictures, but since last time, I have done a fair bit. I got some tints, all around, carbon fibre BMW logos, and grills,and I did a custom 3 inch exhaust with some HKS muffles. I also put some replica Bride buckets my buddy gave me for like 50 bucks. |

# Coprone : I think I saw your S13 near valo junkyard.Yeah, the previous owner doesn't live far from the junkyard. We finished mounting up the new SR and the front end parts and they look great. I also installed a used set of adjustable coilovers and camber plates as well as some bolt on fenders. Up next is bodykit and then a paintjob. The car is coming together nicely    -- TWO WEEKS LATER --
Finally got a bodykit for her. It's a used kit off of a friend's comp-spec S13 but it'll do. Not too much scratches but I sanded it down and added primer and now it's ready to be repainted.    |

On to my Clunker... It lives! The poor pig nose is still kicking, this time with it's new power plant, the LS3. This is the twin turbo crate motor pushing about 600+hp right now. used rubber on the back from the junk pile at Valo tire has this baby ready to grid walls once again.

With the sale of the Tiburon we built and didn't really want anymore (For sale ad). We walked away with a solid $22,000 thanks to rtv190 over at Gom-team forums! He actually offered me $40,000 here on Vstanced...and the car was only $16,000. hahaha
 I took to the net in search for our next garage project, even tho we are STILL waiting on our clients to complete payment to finish the Family Drift GS340. I was looking for an excellent track car, I also wanted something street-able and somewhat rare. With all the talk about the 25 year import rule floating about, I did some researching and decided that an 1989 Skyline was the way to go. I wasn't able to find an '89 but did find a few 1990 models. I checked and double checked with the NHTSA and could have one imported with NHTSA SHOW/Off-Road approval (plus we were only couple months away from it being 25yo anyway). A ton of phone calls, a few missed connecting flights and some pissed TSA agents later we landed in Quebec, Canada @ Asaka JDM Auto! We had already had a representative go test the vehicle we had selected! After dropping $9,500 we were the proud owners of...a 1990 Nissan Skyline R32 GTS-t  Don't ask why we just HAD to go see the car in person only to have to have it towed back to the shop! The day after we got it home we started gathering info on the vehicle and cleaning up the exposed wiring. The moment lunch time hit we decided to break a couple NHTSA rules...  ...AND AGAIN...  ...TO BE CONTINUED This post was edited by ijdevil (2014-11-24 03:48, ago) |

# Tom Diablo : @ijdevil: I had one just like that and it was a 1990 model, too! It got stolen when the thiefs took the BMW, the Golf and the Carrera 2.7... I will get another one someday Dang dude that sucks! Yea this thing was a real steal...not literally. The person who had it before me i'm guessing had the RB20DET converted to twin turbo as well as added a bunch of gauges. Its a pretty fast car but isn't as responsive as i want. A couple years back we built an s14 with an RB26 (then built it to 3L). Since then we have sold the car, its been crashed and engine sold back to us. This thing...  As of right now we are ordering a couple of supporting parts for the RB30, as well as a couple of body panels to rid myself of the fugly cracked front bumper. |

PONTIAC UPDATE
Beware the Pontiac. I've added a center diff (so its AWD), and raised the suspension a bit for winter. Fitted some decently chunky 19 inch tires and rims. Still runnin the same engine, the twin turbo V8, but I've tuned it up to about 550 hp. I scared an old lady by driving up next to her and just poking the gas pedal. She looked like she had had a heart attack. I'll post pics at around 5 pm eastern time hopefully, when I get off work. Right now the Pontiacs sitting in the garage cuz I want to put tinted windows onto it. VOLVO UPDATE I decided to drive the Volvo to work, and the guys are swooning over it. I got an offer for 30 grand for it. Should I take it? HELLSNAKE UPDATE Also, while I search for a V12 for it, I dropped in the EJ25 from the Scion into the Viper. I twin turboed it and fitted the entire engine out with HKS internals, intake, and exhaust. It took a bit of fanagling to fit the flat engine into the long, but not very wide, bay in the Viper. |

Swapped the front end, didn't like the hatchback's front in this one, so I bought some a bit tuned f-end. Also got a Subaru engine because that was the most powerful engine that would fit my car (because the frame is a bit re-built for more low)

@dxg1997: 30k sounds pretty good to me but maybe you can get a touch higher with the price. And thanks for the engine! I'll mod the Vette so it can handle the power
I hope you don't drool too much on the Ferrari

I see everyone is playing with drift missiles and stuff and I felt kinda left out so I scored a junked out 240SX and parts from a lot of others to get one too. As for power, well I shoehorned a v8 I had laying around the shop. Turned out awesome tho' I still need a hood.

I'm very angry right now... On the way home after dropping off the V10 at Diablo's, some old man in a '79 Monte Carlo pulled out infront of the Pontiac... So, in short, it's totaled.... Anyone got some kind of hauling vehicle I can buy from them? I'm just gonna have to use the Volvo for now I guess. No trailers for me... ah jeez, winters gonna be a bitch!! FUCK!!!!

...The body panels and parts I ordered came in this morning so we started mounting everything:
-Nismo taillights $250 -GT-R32 Spec front bumper $199 -Factory Skyline R32 side mirrors $190 -Do Luck Spoiler was from previous drift car (FOR SALE HERE)  We then moved on to the engine....but since the parts we ordered for the RB30DET hadn't arrived yet we just kinda....looked at it!  While out on lunch today (don't worry no NHTSA rules were broken today, we drove the shop truck) someone approached us and asked about buying the wheels on the skyline. By the way he was talking I guess he was working on an 240sx to r32 conversion! Since we were gonna get new wheels and tires anyway..."THROW THOSE STEELIES ON!" Can't beat selling used ass wheels with balding tiires for $600  ...TO BE CONTINUED |

Well, paint day finally came around. The car has now been repainted in a military shade of green,similar to a friend's S13. I also repainted the rims in matte black to compliment the colour and added wheel spacers. It's definitely more aggressive now and has a cleaner look to it. The car still isn't finished yet as there is MUCH more to do. Interior parts still need sorting out, I need a new brake booster, electrical is fucked up, my radiator is damaged, my rear left coilover got busted from hitting a hole some days ago,My exhaust manifold needs a proper weld because it's leaking, I need a new fuel cell and pump, I MIGHT have to change my exhaust setup because I got a ticket and a fine because it's too loud as well as other things. Of course,the best part out of it all is that finances are low
Well,here are some pictures- first, a picture of a friend's S13 and then mine.   Aftermarket tail lights look pretty neat.  F1 Style mirrors, repainted rollcage,etc.  Wheel spacers really bring out the front fitment to achieve an aggressive look. |

It's about a month later now. I modified the engine bay and fitted the V10 in it and it's in there like swimwear
  The body is sanded and primered (There was quite some rust on that thing) and the headlights are fixed open. The pop-up mechanism is shot on it    I installed a rollcage, just in case. The NASCAR spoiler looks kinda cool on it   Since 1000hp is quite a bit more than the stock running gear can handle it had to be updated. Wider wheels bigger brakes and it sits VERY low on that suspension Took it for a short spin (literally; doughnuts are fun in that thing) and this it how it sits. It's hard as a board and the exhaust grinds at bumps... Update: I bought a new daily driver and will shoot pictures soon! I gave the Supra to a buddy of mine who helped me out quite often This post was edited by Tom Diablo (2014-11-21 09:26, ago) |

# Driftphantom : @Coprone will you be selling your extra 180 front end parts? I am always in need of replacements because drift missileSorry, no, because I need to use these as for a backup... Added 2 hours 44 minutes later: I got my "short-ass" S13 back from repaint, looks pretty dope... But the coolest info is that I found a RX-7 frame with some parts! The "EREXSEVEN" is in almost perfect condition, no rust or shit. But it doesn't have interior (sort of), no suspension system or an engine. Good thing is that I have a mad RB26 left from the short-ass, probably will be put that engine here.

GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE!
Great day to be in the shop, large shipment of the remaining parts dropped early this morning (First stop on UPS's route today...yay!). So we got to be very productive very early. Managed to get most of the suspension and braking components mounted.  We did (meaning me!) start on striping and replacing the interior carpet, headliner, seats and brakets......AND all the interior wiring.  Got the prep work for paint done early this morning and was way too tired to take any pics then :-( But we did for the most part finish the exterior.  Engine work finishing up tonight.... |

*Sigh* Got the insurance money for the Pontiac... I'm headin to the junkyard to look for a vehicle. BTW If anyone wants parts from the Pontiac, or wants teh Civic or Volvo, just ask and I can post pics of it...
Added 2 hours 26 minutes later: Got my car I guess. 3 grand got me a trailer racer Corolla... Cant decide if I want to make it into a drift missile, or make it respectable...     I also found an old, rustyish Challenger 383... 11k. Engines in decent condition, body has mostly surface rust Added 20 minutes later: I forewent the Chally and picked up this Wrangler. Can't decide if I want to Hemi swap it or what...

Okay, the Vette is painted in screamin' yellow
  I will put plates on it when its warm again. I sold the 911 Targa to a collector for a pretty penny. This is my new daily driver. I got it from a guy in the outskirts of Valo. When I drove it home it wasoverheating and puking coolant all over the highway. I got it home Roadkill-style (no hood). Turned out to be a broken seal on the water pump.   Since everyone is building a drift missile, I'll hop on the bandwagon and bought a 1984 Toyota Celica Supra. I'll put a 2JZGTE in it.   And for hauling stuff I got this busted old Caddy which I'll fix up.

Good afternoon sorry about no updates last night! But the car is done! Just a couple specifics:
-Custom downpipe, intake and exhaust manifolds by Daigo Saito -Replaced the Greedy T88 turbo with a higher output Garrett GTX 4294R -Custom built in-house exhaust system -Custom Holinger GTR 4 speed drift spec transmission (We're gonna keep the car off the road for right now to comply with the NHTSA...I really dont want this car crushed)   For a bit more fun we added 150 shot of nitrous (NOS kit on a throttle control switch)

That skyline is a monster!
Tried to go out for an early drift sesh this morning and the Famous wall at ebisu has claimed another victim. This time it was my poor onvia's door, fender, and right headlight  here she was limping through the pits  here she is back at the shop, after spending the rest of the day banging out dents.. Anyone got a spare door? they wont let me back on track till I get a new one.. It may be time for a new missile
