so i decided I might as well park up the 34 now, and get cracking on the single turbo conversion. I have a lot of the parts that I need, a fresh HKS intercooler, the Holset HX40 twin scroll turbo that I also run on my SR20, the piping, and a new intake manifold.

I pulled the stock manifold and turbos off the RB25 and sold them for a great price. I'm waiting on a single turbo manifold to get here, and some parts for a motor refresh, and we can get this car back on the road. Wheels are bought, just waiting on delivery. I'm excited.







And the RPS13 looks like this ;



I bought another set of white TE37's on the cheap from a buddy who didn't want them anymore so I might as well keep these. Pretty clean and no curb rash. My full Type X aero came in, along with widened front fenders. I did the sleepy eyes (simply cut the wire under the switch), and I pulled the SR20 out. I'm selling the motor since I'm upgrading to a bigger six cylinder in this car.



$3500 is going to buy you this SR20DET.

2.2L stroker crankshaft
JE Forged pistons
Greddy cams
Holset HX40 twin scroll turbo
TIAL external wastegate
ISIS Performance manifold
HKS intake manifold
HKS 70mm throttle body
Mishimoto radiator
Mishimoto intercooler
Deustchwerks 1000cc injectors

Makes 450 horsepower on 12 psi of boost. Quite proud of my work, the first motor I've managed to dress up without it grenading itself.

Well shit. I don't get to keep the S14. I haven't registered it yet into my name since I haven't needed to as of today, so there is no proof that I legally purchased it. The owner is a pretty cool guy luckily. I guess I am sorta glad I re-united a clean S-Chassis to his owner. I have most of my money back from the seller, as he was proved innocent, as was I. The thief is still out there so anyone in the Kingston Ontario area, lock up your shit real good just in case...

The suspension went in with little resistance, but i after finishing the brakes i realized that the adapters i had for the swablades were 4x100 but the new suspension is 5x100 so i threw on some black steelies i had in the back.

The new brakes are fairly big so i don't think i can fit 15's anymore :(


Added 2 minutes later:

Oh and now that the suspension and body are done i'm focusing on swapping the engine now since im still only pushing 50hp and the fucking thing has 200k+ miles on it.

You have 5x100 on your Legacy? Had the same pattern on my Golf Mk4 XD Now I have 5x112 on my Passat

BTT: Another month has passed and the Integra is complete! I've installed 17" BBS RS GT rims, lowered it to the minimal allowed hight of 8cm using Tokico RAK coilovers and got the rest of the body parts. The headlights are regular Type R ones, the tail lights are Mugen all-red ones and the spoiler is from an Integra DC2 which I fitted to fit on my trunk. Ryo has a nice spot to park cars and he offered me to share it with him. As soon as I can afford another car, I'll get a weekend fun machine. I'm living on ramen and rice right now but that's what I eat most of the time anyway XD


@BoostedGuy: Sad to hear it. Good thing I am on the other side of the Pacific.

Nah, only had that set and I sold the car last year. Never bought a second set for it since I had the car for a short time. Found out today that it had a 5x100 XD

Hello there People of the Internet.
I'd like to show you my small restoration Projects. Some of you may have seen my
AE86 in the Classifieds i love the Hachiroku way back when i still knew it as a Toyota Corolla and
admit it we all knew it as just a Corolla back then. i already fully restored one AE86 that i got from a Scrapyard just a few months ago
and today i spotted my next victim.


some surface Rust some bits missing of course the Price was wrong he hit the "2" one time to much
and after all i got him down to 2k and drove of. My Daily AE is sitting in the Background.

Well don't know if you could consider that an Engine


The Axles are slightly incomplete but my Daily was in a worse Condition

at least we got a (Dead) Battery.

I want to restore beauty so another one is back on the Road.
i always go for slight Break and Running Gear Upgrades but i always
keep it simple.

Added 12 minutes later:

Also some sneaky pics of my Daily Driver finaly got my Hands on a Zenki front Bumper in decent Condition
so it's like it should be now.




Added 29 minutes later:





So i got rid of the old Axles and basicly the whole Running Gear
there is a small Shop near me that i basicly know since i started
restoring and they got some awesome replacement parts that are
cheap and fit perfectly i also got a 14" Set of Wats (srsly what else)

The Blue Top Engine also got here.




after adding some small bits and pieces i had laying around in my garage
from previous builds it's already done i was hoping for at least a few months
of work but the condition of the Car was absolutly fine after all
i might be up for a trade if someone would be interested.

Speaking of the AE, should I just pull some extra work at the shop, and get some 25k springs and struts? Or keep riding on the hockey pucks?

The Weds are also nice but slightly to big and not 80-90s enough for me :D


It depends on what you want to do with the AE86. That Hockey Puck is something i won't even talk about
and i hope you'd do the same, i pull AE86 from Junkyards since years and that kind of lowering just hurts my feelings.
I mean given the Condition of your car i could basicly restore it to nearly factory new condition for about 3-4k and
the Car would be perfect.

Added 20 minutes later:



I might have to see a doctor about my addiction.
Perfect Condition from a Toyota Dealer just around the Corner.
they are closing after 35 years. also got a Truck ton of AE Parts they had still
in stock most of the Rubber parts are for the Bin but some stuff is still usable.

last you saw the RPS13, it was riding on a set of TE37's and mismatched. Well the TE37's were borrowed rollers from a friend, just so I could get a feel for how my wheels would fit, and a lot has unfolded.



While the motor was out I ended up getting the whole car sprayed a nice, light lavender colour. It matches really well with the magenta cage and magenta steering wheel.





I fitted my own wheels , RPF1's from my RX-7, and it sits gorgeousssss.





Biggest thing is the new motor package.



This 2JZ block has been sitting in the shop for a while now, and I've been slowly building it with parts that I've sourced all over. It's mated to a 1JZ head so it's a 1.5JZ. Built with quality parts only, it makes approximately 500 horsepower right now, but I haven't thrown a tune on it. I plan to swap out the stock design manifold for a Greddy unit, but time will tell. I just want to enjoy this car haha.

-->3 months later<--
I am quite lucky! Ryo got word that you guys are buying Toyotas and is kinda waiting for your orders XD He offered me to join his business since his brother Akira is a bit overloaded with gutting out the cars people bring in when they are too expensive to be fixed for another MOT. I'll get a share of the money he makes with the parts which isn't bad. I mean people from all southern japan are ordering parts or come over to pick them up. So while I was in the back of Ryos storage I've spotted a wreck:


Went to Ryo and asked about the car. He said that it sits there since he had that storage. We dug it out and checked the VIN. It's a '69 Datsun Fairlady Z 432. Ryo gave it to me since he didn't want it. He's a Toyota lover.
It still has it's original engine which is seized solid. All attempts to turn it over have failed. The rear suspension is about to collapse and shortly after these photos the tires were flat again. The seats are saggy as f* and the driver side door is missing, too. I've watched Roadkill yesterday and I know that a V6 will fit in there. I was thinking about getting a V6 from a 350Z and drop that bad boy in there. OR I'll look around for a RB26 from a Skyline.

Ah well another Day another Story.

here is my Weekend Dose of Giggles i built this thing long ago

K24 Swap it was a Shit ton of work to get that Engine in there
but at least it can climb a few things now, the Grey Panel on the
right has been there since i bought the Beetle and i can't be bothered
changing it i think it adds some character.

next to his lower brother (pun intended)



So my collection i love them all no question
but you can see whats missing right?
not a single Trueno there and i want one so bad
if anyone knows a Trueno thatd be up for sale
i'd take it no matter what condition.

If you don't mind imporing one, Akira (Ryos brother) has a black/white Panda Trueno like I had. Maybe you can convince him to buy his old beater since he is nagging all the time over it.

If you could get me some pics so i know what work i'd have to do that wouldn't be a Problem
and i'd love to import a genuine JDM Trueno. If he isn't sure about selling it or if i'd keep an eye on the
Car just show him my Garage that might convince him.

Sure



It's a Kouki 86 with a Silvertop swap. He got the engine for dirt cheap, drifted that thing and killed it that way. Doesn't run that good and he lost his muffler but he hasn't registred it anymore. It has some rust but only on the surface. The motors for the headlights are stuck but everything else is working okay. You can phone him: *gives number*. His english isn't that good so if you can speak japanese it would be easier.

I don't know. A few days by plane. And of course Ryo can do all the needed paperwork. Akira is eager to speak with you XD He says he'll give it away for about 145,000 Yen which is about 1200 USD.

As soon as the Plane touched the Ground i got a call that my Car arrived
but i had to pick it up at the customs office they said something about the Engine
Emissions, to loud and all that Bullshit so they took the Engine away and well now i
was owner of a Sprinter Trueno with no Engine but srsly who cares at that point it was blown anyway as far
as i got that.

while the Dudes there were ripping out the Engine one of them asked me if he could have the Rims for
his Toyota Truck i wasn't sure if they would fit but agreed and just rushed home to grab myself a Kouki
Rim Set i had sitting around with good tyres
when i came back they were finished ripping out the Engine so i put on the Rims and got it outside.






I will keep it forever, well after i sorted out those small rust issues cause otherwise forever would be a short time.

So i got it on the Trailer and in my Garage

First i noticed a slightly diffrent Color on the Body so i decided to polish it abit
with Meguiars Ultimate Compound

annnnddd done! looks like new.

next thing was the "Rust" on Plastic Parts srsly thats imposible so i also tried to polish it.


and there we go perfect again might've been some water that dragged the rust down there not that unusual
The fenders itself don't seem that bad at all i've seen worse but i'd say so far so good i'm waiting on my new Blue Top Engine now.

What exactly is that Stupid shit you've done i like that car.

I think you have a potential drifter there. Really like these rims.
Akira agrees on the handling point. Ryo says that you can buy parts from him for your 86 and wanted to know if you could spread around word where you got the car from.
