# FamousMan : Thank man! and i'm definitely down! Where were you thinking?

if you two give me just another hour, i could join up if you guys want. The new shoes for my S15 came and my car is finally ready to run so I wanna play in the streets with you guys too ;)

My new wheels are a set of Volk Racing TE37's, measuring 18x10 up front and 18x10.5 in the rear, mounted on stretched Kumho Ecsta SP2's. The car has a proper tune on it now, and I'm itching to go street drifting with you guys.





^but this wheelgap needs to go. time to mess with the coilovers.

I pickup up those steelies from marcus and they are really clean, they don't match the car but, I just wanted to get back on the road.
I dropped the car on its nuts with the coilovers from my brothers wrecked s2k. I also received my custom licence plate, all I gotta say is that its "MAAAD"

Cool! You guys can suggest stuff for me to do to the Altezza! It definitely needs wheels and more low.

um, probably go for some 326power coilovers if you want mad low, or VStanced coilovers if you want the best low/function combo. Since you want to drift your Altezza GTR I suggest buying some cheaper wheels, so you don't worry too much about damaging them - R33 wheels are pretty cheap and common around. I have set in 17x8.5 spec lying around the shop if you want them for $800.


So a friend of mine recently totaled his S15 at Ebisu Drift Bash last Saturday - he came into the jump drift a few kilometers too quick, and backed it into the wall, quite a shame as his car was really nice. He's parting it out, and I've bought most of the things I can use off of it. He's storing the chassis at my place until we pull all the good parts off it and can get a truck to tow it to the scrapyard.









Someone go buy his wheels, Work Meister S1R's, 18x10 up front and 18x10.5 in the rear. The fronts are unscathed, while the rear left wheel has a slightly damaged barrel and the rear right one has a few scratches. Amazing how they held up considering he backed the car into the wall at nearly 120.

So after our little drifting meet I was on my way home, and this car in a driveway caught my eye. I couldn't help but pull in and stop as soon as I saw it. I wanted it!
It was a Nissan Silvia S14 rolling shell with what looked to be a rebuilt engine bay.
I knocked on the door and some guy named Jake answered. I asked if he was the owner of the car and if he was trying to sell it. He said that he was the owner and then gave me a long pause..."Well....I do need the money. I guess I would do $2,800" he then proceeded to show me the car as I thought hard about my decision.






After talking to Jake for a good hour in a half about his S14 and then my S13, all of the parts on his car, they all added up and were all solid. I threw him the "2,500 for a fellow S-chasis owner?" he chuckled and then stuck his hand out in agreement. I paid my dues and called for a tow truck while he signed the title over to me. I bought another Nissan! I'm running out of room to put them all but I'm so addicted to them.
I have some pretty big ideas for this car, i'm just hoping they all go smoothly.
If anyone has parts or and engine let me know!

Kinda sad news today; MOT is due on the 86 and I was playing with the thought of getting a new car. The suspension is kinda worn out and getting it fixed would be expensive. So I'll sell the 86 and have a look around.

How good are Koni suspension parts? My garage is partnered with them and BBS and I can get just about any coilovers for nearly 75% off, BBS wheels too. Any suggestions on bashable rims?

So this morning i got a call from the guys at Vstance garage, They told me there was something going on with my Miata and i needed to get there with a trailer asap. So i hopped in my uncle's Silverado and got there as fast as i could.

Turns out they were just fucking with me and got the car done a few days ahead of schedule.


So yeah if you can't tell its a fairly stock 13b with a turbo.


I don't think i'll be able to fit a front bumper and i know i won't fit a hood.

Debating trading with my buddy for his beauty of a N/A Supra. I don't really want to hand over my S-10 Street Truck but he wants the S10 and I want that Supra. I think I am going to do it. It only has like 200hp but that won't last long. Going to look into a turbo kit, if I get the car, of course.

I made a short clip to show off the Supra. (Are videos allowed?)


Buddy was riding shotgun with me BTW. I think I am going to get the car. I love it too much to let it go.

So i decided i wanted a project car, but wanted to start with somthing spesial and simple.
I got online to see if i found something that wanted.

This was the first car i was going to build alone, so i wanted to start with a solid base and a car that was stock...

I got online and found some dude that wanted to sell his Holden Commandore SS for a reasonable price.
we talked about the car, and he sendt me these photos







I bought the car and had it shiped form Australia to Norway where i live..
What arived was this





It was the same make and modle, but an entirely difrent car...
The body had lots of damage, and the frame was warped. so i tried to contact the seller,
but i was unable to track him down...

So i ended up straghtening the frame and body, mound new fenders and dors, give it a coat of primer and mount some steelies
that fit the car..



I know i have a long way to go, but the goal is a hi power, daily driver, four dor sedan.
Just hope i don't run into more problems with this one...

The Supra deal didn't work out. For now I guess I will show you what is in our shop.

Me and my friends all split the ownership of the shop. In it right now is...

The "Miata on steroids" Which is basically a Miata with a Supercharged Mercedes V8 stuffed in it. This car is NOT shared between the 3 of us.


Our team drift car, it has been sitting for a few years. The tranny blew and nobody ever got around to fixing it.


And finally, the S10 which is mostly mine, as I provided everything except for the engine... Might sell it soon and split the cash accordingly with my friends...

I only have one camera, so I was able to take only a few shots, but the others got deleted. I only managed to save one. Also, I don't like the wheels on the car, so I contacted BBS, and got a set of green Style 19's, an inch bigger then oem. I also managed to scrounge up an HKS tuned 2JZ from a wrecked Supra, but I'm short on cash for that. I need $1,500 for it, and only have about a grand.



And here's the new wheels.





She's got a little poke... Might have to get overfenders...

You have a nice little Altezza! Makes me want to work on my girlfriend's Tezza but she won't let me cause "I'm going to bend her wheels and make it so low she can't drive it fifty feet without getting stuck on a pebble". Sigh..

But yeah, I bought the Top Secret vented fenders off my friend's totaled S15. They're a pretty rare part for 15's so I'm glad I got these for a steal. I'm not one to run reps so I'd always rather save up to buy the real thing, rather than cheap out and buy reps (ahem HAKU). The two other things I bought off him, was the running gear from his totaled car, and a spare TRA Kyoto diffuser that he had lying around in his garage, identical to the one he had on his totaled chassis. I really need to lower my car more ._.









Also, would anyone be interested in my wheels? I'm not exactly looking to sell them, but if someone wants to buy them I'd definitely be able to use the money.
Volk Racing TE37's.
18x10 spec up front
18x10.5 spec in the rear
No curb rash, almost new, around 300 km on the wheels
Comes with a set of stretched Kumho Ecsta SP2's, 75% tread life in the rear, 90% tread life up front.

Okay so it's been a long time running but finally I'm getting the first few pictures out of my daily driver. I have a project car on it's way but for now, this is all I got. Iv'e had it for a few years now and it's done me well for most of those. The car in question is my 1990 Subaru Legacy RS. I bought it for only $4,500.00 USD and began with mods about a month after I go it. It still has the factory paint and engine (EJ20T) so it's by no means a project car or anything like that. I don't plan to do much more to it as it's perfect as it is for daily use.







List of current Mods:

- Aftermarket STi valve covers and cams
- Fully ajustable front and rear Bilstein shocks and springs
- Megan Racing rear muffler and exhaust kit
- I also managed to pick up some 2010 model STi rims that fitted nicely to the car


As I said earlier, I plan to buy myself a project car soon but until then, this should do me fine. If anyone is looking for the stock rims for this car please let me know because I'm selling a full pair already wrapped with RE002s.

Hope you guys like it!

I was commuting by train for two weeks now and I feel like a plichard in a can! Ever saw one of the guys wearing white gloves? They stuff you into the overfilled train so they can shut the doors. Anyway, I've found my new car: A 2003 Honda Integra Type S


The previous owner wanted to convert it into a Type R but he is becoming a father and he needs something with more room. I first thought about getting a BMW but they will be in category 7 which is darn expensive. The Integra has a chiptune so it has about the same power as the Type R. The MUGEN sticker is from the previous owner, too. I will complete the Type R conversion and maybe turbocharge it. The 86 is sold to a guy who wants to get into drifting.

And thanks Smurf and TheSkidKid! Makes me glad to see people like my car hahaha.

And nice daily Skidkid, loving the slammed on OEM wheels look. Can't wait to see where you take that build. EJ25 swap? ;)

For now I have both Sivlias sitting over at the Vstanced garage. I spent the past 2 days working on the S14. I lucked out because the garage had a couple spare S14 parts, including a pretty beat up SR20DET motor. I managed to snag that along with some mirrors and a hood for $1,200, so glad they were already black. I also took off the Diamond Racing Steelies and painted them white. I think they really make the car pop more. I also threw 2 Bride seats that I wasn't doing anything with in there. Took some stickers off and added some of my own as well. And that's about it for right now, way more to come with both cars though!

Thanks Marcus! What should I do with the car next? I managed to talk the 2J owner down to a grand, so I have that. twin turbo 2JZ, and I want that in the car because its nicer for me to work on, because it what I specialize in. My grandfather is currently in the hospital, but that's just because he's scared to be alone in his house. I actually took him out in the Altezza to get some Burger King, because he doesn't like the hospital food. He's a gearhead like me, so he saw the potential in the car, and actually asked why it didn't sound like a Supra. I ended up just showing him the engine, because its more difficult to explain without any visual aid. I took him to the highway just to show him how it rode at 65 mph, and he told me to gun it. I hesitated, and he shouted at me, so I buried my foot in the carpet, and the back end actually started wiggling at 70, skrrting the tires. I didn't let off until the speedometer was buried like my foot, at around 180. The RB pulled with no issue. When the GT35R spooled up is when the tires squeaked. As I took him back to the hospital, he mumbled to himself, "He'll take care of it, don't worry..." and said that he's left something in his will for me. I'm both scared and excited. scared because that means hes very close to death, but excited to see what it is. Might ask Dad about what it could be, or just let it be a surprise...ANYWHO, thanks for reading all this, I tend to get carried away when typing xD

This is going better than I thougt yesterdag.
When i arived home from work, I got a text from Kriss, one of my friends that i share garage with, that the HSW bumpers, DTS hood, V8 racing skirts and SS Wing had been
delivered :)

So Kriss and i got them mounted, the chassi needed som modding to make space for the side exiting exhaust. but over all all went
well.

Just waiting for lights and the new rims, rubber and all the glass to arive.

I still cant deside on two things tho.. what color i shuld paint it inn, and werther or not to do a 2JZGTTE swap or stay with an LS3...
Any Ideas?

Here is what the car locks like with bumpers, skirts, hood and Wing:

@dxg, your grandfather's going to die a lot quicker if you keep taking him out to Burger King! But do a 2J swap yes. You can find some engine mounts online for not very expensive, or you can get them off an IS300 since they run 2J's as well. Wiring should not be too much of an issue.

I finally got my street shark running under its own power! I ended up using a lot of the parts from my friend's wrecked S15 motor, since he had a 2JZ swap. I just need to get a proper tune on the car now. Also got the fitment dialed in, I'm loving it!







Next is to decide on a rear bumper, throw a tune on the car, get it painted, and get proper wheels hahaha.

So with my RPS13, I've been putting a decent amount of km's on it, but I didn't want to be a Sil80 anymore. SO. I'm selling a bunch of panels off my car.
Silvia coupe brick headlights $150
Widened Silvia coupe fenders $150
Silvia coupe Uras Type-4 front bumper $200
Uras Type-4 side skirts $100
Uras Type-5 rear bumper $120

I'm going back to my roots ;)

He's been eating BK all his life basically, and he's 95. Dude loves the car though. I did manage to find some mounts from a totaled IS300, so I'll probably have the engine in sometime tonight. Already got her sitting in the garage with the hood off. Need to start unhooking things.

^I got the stage 1 RB26 in the Altezza. I paid 10 grand for the car, so, I'll give you the engine for, say $2,000? It's making about 416 at the wheels, single turbo, clear valve cover and timing belt cover.
