Whilst driving around testing out the new part for the mustang driving around the residential area I saw this 240sx it was in good condition but the paint was random like a 5yr old was spray painted the damn thing, The engine was complete and in perfect condition.

First thing Im wanting to do is paint the car a new color

Should I keep the motor stock or add an aftermarket turbo

I haven't posted much because I've been REALLY busy working on the Diablo. Going to events, making money. So, I guess this is a good time for an update, seeing as I've changed the whole look and performance of the car...







First of all, lemmie point out a few things. 1, spoiler. The owner called me up and said "hey, I forgot to give you this", and that piqued my curiosity. So, I went and looked up the VIN. Turns out, this is a legit SV, but the guy didn't know that! 2, the suspension. I ordered some Koni shocks and springs as well as an Endless Big Brake kit, mounted in Advan RS2's, staggered with 19"s in front and 20"s in back. 3, need a picture for this one. (imagine there's a jack there.)



I picked up a quad turbo setup, pushing about 28 PSi. I replaced the rings, so she can actually take the pressure. I also installed a longer stroke crank and conrods, so the displacement is up to 6.0 liters, up from 5.7. I dynod it, and powering all 4 wheels, shes got a massive 913 fhp. Thats ludicris, and I'm hoping that the Toyo R888's can handle it! xD have a closeup of the spoiler now

Yeah, I love the color. Have no plans on changing it. I did however find a sticker in dad's office... I plan on putting it onto the Diablo somewheres. Any idea where?

I've gone ahead and painted the car sunrise orange lowered the car added some camber and replaced the original rims with Work Meister S1 3P 2 regular ones up front and 2 deep dish ones in the back. I am going to keep the stock body and add a single turbo to the motor

Yesterday the good old V8 B8 got some daily driven love (and new pictures) because the 370 was getting serviced.





It's been over a month since the last time I posted anything here about the S4 I'm pretty sure, but the only thing to report about it is the new 458 wheels that I got a couple weeks ago. You may have realized I'm a wheel whore and I buy and sell wheels like crazy.

More updates as of today on the 370



New carbon rear lip, or whatever you'd like to call it.



My favourite mod on the car so far are these brand new 358MM Endless brakes that I just got installed yesterday. I've had these sitting around for a while unused and the brakes were getting close to worn out on the 370, so I saw my opportunity and I am beyond happy with the look and feeling from this Big Brake Kit.



Lastly I hit something in the middle of the road this morning on my way to the shop. Split the front lip and so I've just taken it all off for now to avoid further damage while I have something ordered...

More to come, maybe BBK on the S13 or something like that.

@gian, I'm actually planning to put some low profile tires on them and stick em onto the MK2. Why? Wanna buy them? Their $750 for the front 2, and $1000 for the rear two, thanks to the staggering. That's with the original tires.

My buddy let me drive his drift beater that I've shown on here a long while ago, it's now got a 2JZ pushing 355HP instead of the 1UZ that he blew up.





Took some shots of it on the way home, car is pretty wild. Was thinking of buying one but it's really not for me.

Bought a set of SSR Professor SP1's, 17x10, mounted on Bridgestone Potenza RE002's. Keeping the stock bumper since I'm probably going to drag it on walls so might as well just destroy the stock one. What do you guys think?

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so here's a little update!
I sold the Neon because it just wasn't doing it for me and I got this instead :D :D :D



Now that I actually have a daily driver worth keeping, I can start working on other projects :)

I was getting a bit tired of using the Silverado everyday I went and bought a Dodge Ram SRT-10. It only had 1 owner and all the owner used it for was moving parts for cars. Also a new car is to come.

So since I finished the JZX build (for now, FOR NOW), I wanted a new daily as my JZX is now not exactly streetable. So I bought a 200SX that had a blown up CA18 in it. Ripped the CA out for a future project, parted out the stuff I didn't need (everything missing in these pics), installed a set of Brembo 6 pot brakes and drilled rotors, and put on a nice KW coilover kit. Expect big things from this car ;)

decided to go a different route with my 200SX. 16x10 Work Equip 03's, sourced straight from Japan. Mint condition, can't believe I got them for a really good deal. I'm thinking of raising the rear and putting some meatier tires on it, or dropping the front just so slightly to go with the rear. Won't stay this ratchet, will get painted at some point. SOME point

If you need any help with the S chassis you can bring it over to my shop my dude, I've got S chassis experience and some free space. I like your ratchet style, I got shunned for that stuff a little while ago but you're making me wanna bring it back on the S13 :))

Added 1 hour 9 minutes later:

I made an executive decision that I've put too much time and money into making my S13 looking good to go back to it's starting stages again. So I did what any normal stupid person would do and started looking online for a new S chassis. I right away found this... well, take a look at what I've bought.





This is my 1989 Money Pit 240SX with a 13B S5 from a 1989 RX7, which is of course non turbo.

I bought it for what it's worth and didn't try to low ball the guy as he already gave me a good deal for the work put into this car. He sold it as he had his fun with it and wanted to move on.

From what he's told me, this is a 240SX coupe with a full S13 interior conversion (hence why it's right hand drive even though it was born an american market car)

The engine was originally incredibly wimpy and if i'm honest, I know little about rotary engines so I'm just going by what he told me. It was factory about 160HP and is now roughly 195. He also gave me a turbo kit for the car as well as the missing front end bits.

For as dangerous and ridiculous as it looks, this car has had some serious work with real consideration. He didn't just slap coils on the car and make it as low as possible, he's spent time making sure it won't just fall apart. Which is pretty cool for an S Chassis owner.

He was telling me that it took a while for him to get this engine working with the car, but that he felt it was totally worth it. After taking it for a drive around the block, I could agree with that. All the cars I own currently are at least 300HP, but being in something running less than 200 HP, I really enjoyed it. Once this car revs to 7K you can't help but laugh to yourself about how loud and ridiculous it really is. So now I own it and I'm going to keep it to it's roots.

Safely stupid.

Added 7 minutes later:

well here is the car it is a 1957 Ford Thunderbird mint condition no motor though everything on it is factory will build an engine for it and keep it as a cruiser, but I will most likely trade it for a new car for a drift/stance project.

That's a good buy Haku! The exterior could obviously use a little(lot) of work, but a 13B swap is pretty dope.

Did a turbo install on the SR, running low boost for now before I get it remapped, makes 450 horsepower right now. Also bought some body panels and set my ride height.

Yeah I'm getting on that right away, fenders are already fitted and new wheels are being mounted tonight. I've got some ideas for the body panels so we'll see what happens but it'll be a little different than a normal respray. The 200 is coming along it seems. Not sure if it's your style but I may have a BN sports inverted trunk hatch that I'm willing to let go of for $400... ;) It's dark purple though :))

So, this is probably going to get a lukewarm reception, but its been eating me... I did something insane...



I fitted the 700+ whp NA8C into the MK2, and decided that this will be a total drift bitch. However, I'm actually looking for something I can make a good daily, because I've been driving the 900 hp Subi to and from work, which is fun, but gets tiring, and the Diablo just isn't practical. I'm actually leaning towards a 2012 Subaru Impreza WRX STi hatchback. Only problem with getting one, is that I've heard they suffer with HORRIBLE brake fade if pushed hard. So I'd have to get some carbon ceramic pads, and MAYBE rotors.





I fitted slammer, cheaper tires, a Sparco F300-R seat and a MOMO GT wheel. I stripped the interior, and installed 2 NOS tanks in the boot for the nos rail on the engine. It pumps huge amounts and adds 150 bhp when I stand on it. The giant ass wing was for stability, and I like how it looks. Hydro handbrake, and other parts inside. The engine however, i changed the exhaust because the firewall and trans tunnel is set up for twin turbo exhausts on the RIGHT side of the engine, not the left, so there wasn't enough room to fit the downpipe, so I fabbed up a shorty dual exhaust, with some built in mufflers. they literally come out, and go right into the air.


The orientation of the front pipe looks different because it is. Game crashed and had to refit it

Surprisingly I was able to sell the Thunderbird without mounting a motor on to it with the money I made from it I was able to but a Lexus SC300 for $1,500 from a "ricer".

He spray painted the lower area of the front bumper.

There is a useless pair of $29 exhaust tips from a parts shop.

Also a shitty sticker-bomb and some steelies.
The car does have a N/A 2JZ-GTE.
Any recommendations on what I should do to it?

Hey Hey Hey, Im BACK!

Sup all, im back after a while.Well im still haveing the WRX Wagon, but i sold the Bimer and the Z34.The Cressy is still sitting in the back of my garage and idk what i will make out of her.I was not able to buy my wife the car she wanted, but kinda am glad i didnt, cause her plans were completly different.Back then we bought a Altezza Gita cause she sad that our "daily" (WRX Wagon) isnt a daily anymore and she wants a car that will stay atleast a bit normal, and that i wont turn this one into a project car.At least she is into cars aswel so we changed just a few things to make it look a bit nicer. Here some pics of the Gita:




She got some new tyres and rims, and i got some eBay Coills.Car handles preety well, its not slammed and it is rlly soft and smooth to drive.






And here are pictures of how the Wagon looks at this moment.I changed and did so much in the past time i cant even remember the full list of mods, maybe i will post them here one day when i get the list completed :D .
