(lol restart the rp because)
Heyho chaps! I'm Richard, and after seeing all these amazing cars, I decided to show you my ride!
It's not much for now, but it's something. Got it for pretty cheap, runs like a champ. I'll keep this stock, and probably buy something else to build. Here's the engine: It's a K20A, which I don't think EG6 Civics have. That's all I got for now! Hope to see ya in the streets! |

^ I love that colour. The Subaru Legacy wheels fit it nicely, you should fit some ITR Type R wheels to it since you already have the five lug conversion done. The K20A is quite a monster in that little chassis.
So I know it's only been about three days since I've bought the S15 and fallen in love with it all over again, but this car was just way too good of a steal to pass up. A friend of mine was selling his 1985 AE86 Levin Coupe, the Zenki model. Him and I worked on this car in his garage for a few months - it began it's life in Valo as a true JDM import, as a rolling shell. We sourced OEM parts from Japan and locally from other enthusiasts and AE86 forums, so I know what I'm getting into. It's mostly stock on the exterior, and the paintwork is quite clean save for a few rough patches noticeably on the front bumper and front left quarter. We also managed to source a full dashboard and carpeting, quite to our joy, through a parts car we bought for $500 and scrapped right after. It sits really low on stock wheels right now because he used to have a set of 16x10 Volk TE37V's under the car, but he wanted to keep those so he put the stock wheels back on for me. Mad stance yo. The real beauty though, lies under the hood of this car. Choosing to forgo the stock 130 horsepower Bluetop 16v 4A-G, we decided to go with a 20v Blacktop 4A-G from a later model AE111 Levin. Stock bottom end and head, and stock intake manifold, but mated with an Apexi Power FC air intake. On the other side sits a beautiful Toda exhaust header, mated to a Toda N1 downpipe running to a straight through 3 inch Toda N1 exhaust tip. Trust me when I say this makes all the right noises under full tilt. Lots of other goodies, such a Koyorad radiator and catch can. Hasn't been dyno'd but we guess it runs around 250-260 horsepower to the wheels. I can't wait to drive this thing, I have big plans |

Thanks Facepalm I'm planning to pretty much undo all of the stuff we did hahaha, gutting the interior, caging it, the works.
Stonedmonster I'm not running the car to it's fullest (it doesn't even run yet lmao) until I get a proper tune on it; then I'm probably going to get forged pistons and stronger connecting rods. |

Okay so i decided to not to buy the C10 since the guy wanted 8k for it and id rather but the money into something cheaper that i can build up.
Buy i did realize i still haven't sold my LM20's or Gold Fleishwolf's, both sets have been sitting in my closet since i took them off. The Fleischwolf's are 17s with stretched Dunlops 90% tread left (LOL Anti-Aliasing) The LM20s are 16s with Pirelli's and about 75% Tread left. Going for best offer. |

Update on the DusterMost of the work is done.. Changed the suspension so it`s fully adjustable both in front and rear, also upgraded the brakes.
And yeah... I got her a new set of wheels!
And for the engine.. Not much work! Just changed the headcover`s for some Mopar Performance covers, Edelbrock exhaust headers
May be doing some height adjustments but for now, its ok.. Going to keep the engine as it is now, runs good and got a lot of power :)

# stonedmonster : so someone did a five lug conversion in the front and didn't convert the rear as well? interesting.. Added 35 minutes later: I took my 86 out for a rip on the Nanohanadai mountain pass, and I must say, the car feels amazing on such a tight and windy road.

I had some days off work so I color-matched the red parts. Went to a good friend of mine to get the Panda part and a new realis for the headlight mechanism. Turned out that the relais was fried.
@marcus: If you need parts for your 85 (Levin is called an 85), let me know. I have a good friend who deals with Toyota parts. Big-ass storage and everything. You could get parts for almost any Toyota there. This post was edited by Tom Diablo (2015-08-30 07:23, ago) |

I got the rest of the S15 intercooler piping done; I missed the Ebisu Drift Bash sadly because the RPS13 had a misfire and this car isn't quite ready.
I put this car on a diet, and stripped the rear seats and all the carpeting. Same with the 86 coupe. And I haven't forgotten about the S14, the majority of the motor parts have arrived, just waiting for me to assemble it. The Vertex front bumper I ordered arrived, with a custom carbon fibre splitter. I can't wait to see how this car will look when I finally finish it, it looks mean! |

After deciding to not buy the the truck i went on Craigslist to find the cheapest car with potential i could find.
Ladies and.... well probably just gentleman, this is what $1100 will buy you in Valo lol. I know what you're thinking and it would have been $700 if it didn't have the sawblades and adapters(Apparently the only way to get adapters fors Vette's weird lug size are to special order them) IDK what Porsche this wheel is from. Also no idea what GTI these seats came out of lol With the power of photoshop even a car with 50hp can do wheelies lol Oh and the brakes on the Miata are done so now im just waiting for them to finish up on the engine. |

# TheSkidKid : @Tom Diablo - Can I perhaps have his address as I've also got a Levin Coupe and I need parts pronto. Cheers mate.Are you living in Japan? He usually can ship parts cross country. His shop is called: Ryo's Toyota parts shop and he's at Sakura Blvd. 56, Osaka city (Dunno about japanese street names so I've made it up lol) But if you live abroad, I can give you his phone number or e-mail address. He understands english and is a reasonable guy so if you make him a good offer he'll probably ship the parts to whatever country you're in. And if you tell him that George gave you the tip he might give you a discount |

So it's been a while since i've updated you guys.
When you last saw the Silvia she was parked in the Vstanced garage. For the week in a half she was there, a lot of stuff was done to get it inspected and road legal. We even got around to color matching the Rocket Bunny parts After all of that, I was finally able to cruise around Valo City for the first time with this thing. I didn't get to snap too many pictures because I was having waay too much fun sliding around the streets. But here's what she's looking like at the moment Ohhhh and I finally got around to putting an exhaust back on. Just some fancy twin tip. |

What's up guys, my name is John . I just turned 20, and finally bought my first car. A little about me, I'm a 2 time Master Mechanic on Toyota's, Scion's, and Subaru's. I'm ASE Certified to work on any part of any model from any of those 3 manufacturers. Previously, I've been driving my girlfriends base model Civic. I got tired of that, so I saved up at work for about a year and a half, and bought an Altezza. However, this car confused me. I've worked on plenty of Altezzas, and seen all sorts of 2JZ tunes. But this car is something different. The previous owner was trying to convert it to some sort of Nissan Skyline GT-R... It has a single turbo RB26, and a GT-R steering wheel. I'm the only one in my family who knows anything about cars, and my brother said I should get the car just because it had "clear bits on the engine". My parents didn't want me to get it, even though I don't live with them, because they didn't want to make it seem like their son was a hooligan, because the car is so loud. (The mod has no exhaust attachment. Help?) I got the thing for 10 grand. I sorta saved the poor thing because the guys said he was gonna AWD swap it and everything. He HAD GT-R wheels on it, but wanted an extra $1500 for them. They were covered in curb rash, so I said no thanks...
