So turns out that small town isn't where the garage is, but that town has many parts shops.
Anyway, I went to find the missing parts before finally heading to the garage. There was a junkyard nearby, and I went to check it.
I found two Civic donor cars: The one was front ended really bad, and the other was rear ended to an extent that the trunk was in the interior.
I took what I needed from them: Windows, trunk, front panel and a mirror.
On the way home, I decided to push the car to its limits.
The roads were fine, it's the car that... well... slides too much.

For a FWD, the car has some serious issues regarding suspension.
About speed, the car has some SERIOUS issues when it comes to gears. I couldn't go any further than 4th. This thing needs either a new engine, or a new tranny.
Anyway, before finally heading to my new home, I decided to go for a bit rallying.
The car handled pretty well off road, but my ass hurts because I still have the Recaro Toilet.
The white smoke here is the tires rubbing against a big bunch of pebbles.

The car is indeed rally ready, but it still doesn't have the necessary parts for it to compete in any sort of events yet.

After a long while, I decided to leave. It was starting to get dark, and I didn't want to be late to go to my new garage.
And finally, after a short drive, home sweet home...

I took off the Recaro Toilet and fitted it where the toilet was supposed to be.
Also, the screenshot above is after I cleaned the car.
I've still got to explore some other parts of W.V, as well as it's rally and drift tracks.

Hey guys, it's been a long week since I left the Viper and Chaser at the showroom. Sad life, but I got this little Civic I built up. Need some spacers and I have to install the whole spring system and then i'll be low and slow. Its nice and quick, but I need it quicker, so i'll see if I can find some upgrades for the EJ20. And thanks Tom for the offer but I didnt need the steelies, forgot these rims came with the Chaser!!

@Scooby

Miata build is here!

Sorry for a lack of updates, life has gotten busy and I've been working on things in the background. I had a complete build of the MX5 however I couldn't find the pictures, so I'll just do a quick list then.

The engine is now running and all the wiring was complete (for the most part)

I installed the big wang that's been on 2 of my previous drift cars.

Exhaust was done and stupid boso tip was installed

The front bumper I ordered for my car got lost in shipping and so they refunded me. Found this beat up one for sale and took it.

Skids.







Not much else to say unfortunately, hopefully will post more often. Sorry for delays on the build updates :D :D

Do it for the ratchets

So I visited the two rally-cross tracks that W.V has to offer. Will post pictures soon.
I still have to explore the rally stages as well as the drift tracks, if there are any.

Added 1 hour 9 minutes later:

Before I begin, let me state that the whole car is sanded, and that the bodykit will be removed.
So there are two Rally Cross tracks in Western Valo.
First one is located between Doto Town and Furi Town. It's more car-friendly than the other one, and is actually a mix of Tarmac and Dirt.

So I started driving, and then the first jump came. I floored it, and I have to say, I've experienced better landings...

Here's another angle because.

Then came some tarmac. I took the corner like a boss, although ehh... that tire screeching....

Anyway, after running the whole track once, I decided to visit the next one.
This one is located next to Accel Town. It's way less car-friendly, and it's for tough cars only.
Needless to say, I took the risk to enter with the crapbox.
I started driving, and noticed jumps on the road. It was then that I knew I made a HUGE mistake entering this track...

The rear hit the ground, and the bumper's value went to 0. I kept driving and driving, pushing the car to its limits.
Needless to say, a big jump appeared, and that's where the suspension was raped.

Suspension broke, and the ride was terrible.

This is where the front bumper went to hell. Engine was not healthy either.
And shortly, after some drifting and driving...

The engine finally blew up. That leaves me with a collapsed suspension, no engine and no bumpers...

Thanks to @2jzCookie the 240sx arrived today! Shes got a lot of rust on the fenders and rear quarter panels but surprisingly little to none on the frame itself. Expect a full tear down tomorrow and plans. Ive made the old bride that came with it into a office chair and the steering wheel went to my buddy Will for a cool 100 bucks. her she is:

# Facepalm :
Anyway, I was looking at my old UTM Magazines, when I found this. It's the first UTM issue ever:


@JDMSly, @2jzcookie Nice cars guys!

Wow, I saw my Z on there, and IRL I actually said holy shit! I was actually surprised anyone remembered that beast! It was a legitimate Z, but I do believe I sold it to YOU Facepalm...

UPDATE

I've not posted anything recently, because I've been working on the Minto. Its basically complete, minus the paint. I got suspension, wheels, brakes, engine, seats, etc, except for the paint. I want to post pics, but can't right now, as I'm currently busy. Gimmie some suggestions, what colors (main body, and a single fat stripe) should the Minto be? I was thinking dark blue main, with white stripe, but lemmie know what YOU guys wanna see.

So after almost a week, I finally got the wiring done and tested the fella. Good thing it's a show car, it is a bit too low in the front for street usage. It's like the "Sailor Jerry" car from a Roadkill episode: It CAN drive but it isn't meant to XD Now I'll check the auto wreckers to get all the missing parts. I won't get a front bumper which means I have no indicator lights in the front. But since the car will be a trailer queen it doesn't matter anyways. Plus I won't bother putting the front marker lights back on as well.

Well Guys, I got an Update on My BRZ...
Remember when I saw a Fairlady Z for Sale, Well I contact the Owner and he was interest in the Offer that I gave him: Which Mean My BRZ in exchange of his Z33 and some cash.
He accept it and now I am a proud owner of a beautiful Z33.
In the exchange, he gave me 6,000$, which was enough for me (So I could A New set of wheels for the Z.)
I will maybe, maybe, change the color, but For Now, I won't do much to the Z.
I like Kentucky Fried Chicken.

One of the struts on my S13 went dead and made my car pretty much unbearable to drive. With that being said, I ended up picking up a set of Tein Street Basis adjustable Coilovers for $500. The car rides much better because the suspension is more responsive. I don't think I should go any lower or I'd risk damaging my lip.

Got a decently big update on two cars.





MX5 is nearly completely stripped, primed, and practically ready for paint. What colour? We shall see. Also are those the new wheels? Possibly.

A little while ago I showed you the I swapped the RB28 into my R32 GTS, but I drove it a couple times on low boost and it was just too much to handle.

So I fixed the contact patches on the car by setting the rears to -1 and fronts to -3 camber. This actually did provide quite a bit of help, but the wheels I'm running are too wide for the stock fenders, so I took those off and ordered new rears and some already wide front fenders.

I had only the fronts installed for a while but the rears were custom made wide fenders. I quite like them.





Oh yeah, and with the car wider and equipped with a GTR engine, I decided to order an OEM R32 GTR front bumper as well as a Nismo hood. All in all, the aero cost me a pretty penny.

After everything was installed and these pictures were taken, the car sat like this for about a week before paint. But here it is after paint.







After this I started running 40PSI and the car makes 1141RWHP. It's actually the scariest car I can recall being in, and I drove the rat rod golf if you remember.

So it was time to sell it.



:)) :)) :)) :)) :)) Just kidding, how stupid do you think I am? I would never sell this car, even if the engine was to blow up. This car is what my dreams are made of and I'll probably keep it forever. Thanks for reading, more to come with the MX5.

Also contemplating selling the Integra, if anyone is interested and wants to offer me something I can entertain the offer, but I don't want any low as numbers.



*Comes with hood and all these mods

Precision SC61 Turbo
Skunk2 Carbon Composite Fuel Rail
750cc injectors
Mishimoto Intercooler
HKS BOV, Wastegate, Wastegate springs & gaskets, etc
Go Fast Bits Boost Controller
Custom turbo back exhaust made to fit K24 Integra
Custom turbo exhaust manifold
ECU and ECU tune

also non engine goodies include
Go Fast Bits Short Shift Kit

Do it for the ratchets

So today I decided to work on the Civic instead of exploring the rest of W.V
I went to a yard sale, and someone was parting his Civic. It was crashed badly, but not anywhere near the engine bay.
I bought the engine from him, and a rear bumper.
I fitted the engine on and went to find parts for it. The ride was terrible because of the wrecked suspension.
Went to the Junkyard again. I found a Civic that was completely written off.
Rear ended badly and then rolled over. I got the bumpers from it, and hell, even the antenna base.
And here it is home. Here's the engine:

Then I sanded the parts, and decided it was time to send it off for a paint.

I'll paint it black, and I've already got the stripes stickers ready.
That's it for today I guess. More news when it comes back from painting.

I was browsing on the Internet and I found 2 Front Bumper for sale. I really want A Nismo Version 2 (Sadly, none we're made for SLRR)
The First one is a Nismo Version 1
And The second one is a Nismo Version 3
I did not bought any of them, but should I change my Front Bumper?
I like Kentucky Fried Chicken.

# JdmSly : Haku just one question how do you turbo an ITB manifold? and also im very interested :D

If I'm completely honest with you, when we built the engine we were using a similar set up that was used in the SR20DET from the Nissan Pulsar, a copy if you will. It was pretty juanky the car no long has ITBs that's why it's not listed, but that's my most recent picture of the car. It has the stock plenum currently and the ITBs were sold to a K20 owner. (Keeping in mind I hadn't become realism police when I built the integra :)) :)) )

If you are interested, throw me an offer and promise you won't rice it out :)) We'll negotiate other terms after a price is out there. Also keeping in mind I have about $4500 into the build on parts an labour, hoping you won't low ball me too much.

@Ey Papa

The V1 bumper looks pretty nice, I would do it if I were you. Nice Z by the way. I personally am not a fan of that colour but I think you could make it work.

Do it for the ratchets

Simple. You just have to fabricate a plenum to enclose the throttle bodies.

The Crapbox was sold... Someone wanted to buy it. I didn't even fit the wheels, or paint the stripes on it.
Anyway, I'm now looking for another car. Until then, I'm Pinto'd

Added 46 minutes later:

Okay scratch the Pinto'd, I found an engine-less Starlet for a low price. I'm gonna tell him to remove the wheels so I can lower the price even more.
I'll go get it, and I'll fit my wheels on it over there.

Had a productive weekend. Went looking for some cars. More on that later!

Now, since Driftphantom picked up my partscar WITHOUT the RB26DET I sat down and thought about what to do with the engine. I dont want to let it sit in some corner in my shop. So my plans are to swap it into the 240. I want more power in the car and I dont feel like upgrading the internals or turning up the boost more. Its high as it is!

Now I said I went looking for cars last weekend. I wanted something to beat to death and not give a flying f#ck about!

So I took a look at these two:



Now these cars are the ones im leaning towards at the moment. Preferably the burgundy one. I want one that is driftready with minor changes. Bigger changes will come down the road. I would stick with the naturally aspirated NA8C and just bump on the tyre pressure abit. Ofc weld the diff or get an LSD if money allows me too :)
I will go look at more cars this coming weekend. I've scheduled a meetup with a local guy who owns a bunch of interesting cars. All of them are driftworthy :) So if all goes well I might have a new project by then!

Today, I got rid of the Golf. Just wasn't sure where I was going for it and wasn't the build for me.

Instead, I have found something else, just as different to take it's place. It's apparently in some nearby village. I got in my S14 to go check it out.



After a bit of travelling I got to the village, and drove in, looking for the place of the car. Everybody was eyeing up my Silvia like it was god himself infront of them! Had to stop for directions aswell and the confused look people gave me when they saw the steering wheel was on the right side was brilliant :))



Anyways after a bit of driving I got to the warehouse where the car I'm looking for is kept. The guy says it used to be his grandpa's, but he developed some conidition and couldn't driver it only few years after he got it new and it's been rotting in here for half a decade. Had a chat with him and scored a deal for 330 leva (165 euros). I'll be looking for a way to get it transported to my garage and then I'll be getting to work.



By the way, it's a Lada 2102.
