I sold the Levin to a friend of mine who just got his racing license and needed a car to get started in the amateur class.
Here's my daily: I painted it black since the magenta made me sick...  I removed all restrictions from the GT-R powertrain so it has 600hp now  And this is my new project: A Nissan 300ZX. It'll get a RB26DETT   @dxg: Cool, you found the guy with the Vandura. The RS200 is cool, too! @Driftphantom: Wow, a NSX!  Maybe I'll get one too...

@Facepalm May I suggest an 90 degree turn for the engine so you can have the transmission pointing backwards and maybe turn it into a replica of a real j-series v6 swapped s2000?

So I took PXRZ's suggestion, and rotated the engine so a RWD transmission can fit.
 Much better |

# dxg1997 : Bring that Civic into my shop and I'll fix it up right.Thanks man I appreciate the offer but I would rather wait till I had the money to pay you. what I think I am going to do is go with a K-series turbo, so if you could source me a few bits and bobs I would greatly appreciate it. Also, a spoon catback would be nice, I can pay for that up front @Tom Diablo Yeah man she's a rocket! stop by the house and ill let you give it a go EX civic: So the coilovers made it to the shop today, so after a quick stop to get the si wheels from a chick of ValoList (she was cute, kept the number  ) I was on my way. Got her up in the air and the skunk 2 pro C's installed Looks good dumped on the new Si wheels  Even got the BEAKS bar fitted, A Honda exclusive, one of the many reasons I love em

A bit more progress with the S13.
 I sent the bumper to fix and got a "new" hood. Also, I'm running just a bit more negative camber at the front for the hell of it. The rear looks positive in comparison lmao  She also got a wash after a good while so the car looks somewhat presentable.  Pasted up the rear panel because it had lots of dings and dents. |

I sold the Volvo... And bought another Volvo! This is gonna be the shop truck thing. It already has the rear seats removed, and the 4 banger is supercharged. Just gonna stiffen the rear springs and shocks a bit, and maybe Rhinoline the rear, and BEWM!
   Also, Phantom, I managed to source a complete red top K20 turbo for only $500 bucks. Not bad in my book. I loaded it up and I'm bringin it over man. This is why I need to stiffen the suspension X)

So, I just graduated from college and my mom bought me this 05' Mustang as a graduation gift... It's not a looker, with it's banded steelies and missing exhaust, but it's a good base to build something good from.
EDIT: forgot to mention that it's the V6 model too... so it's not very fast either.

I see love for Vans. I love mine! I call it the Ratvan. Its got a nice NA Racing V8 in it too!
 Its my main shop van and I use it almost daily to pick up and deliver parts.  It can also do stunts!  Might need some repairs after that too... I want to keep it a Ratvan tho' might do some engine work and suspension and show you guys later. For now my interns will have to work on pick up/deliveries with their own trucks since I have a new project!  Its an AW11 MR2. Some dude gave it some to cover shipping fees on some stuff he ordered. No engine, missing a lot of bodyparts. Interior is mint tho. Im open to engine suggestion but I would like to swap a Toyota 4 banger on it. Anyone know someone that can source me a nice working 4A-GE (link plz?) |

# zerito : Anyone know someone that can source me a nice working 4A-GE (link plz?)I know of a guy who wrecks a Sprinter Trueno. Maybe you can buy the 4A-GE? He's at 525 Lincoln Street. After 2 weeks installed a suspension into the 300ZX...  ...and went for the junkyard to hunt for some body parts:

Mt brother Jesper loaned my M3 for a trip around Europe because his Silverado got stolen. He gave me his drift AE86 just to look after it as he didn't want that to get stolen also. That's the car what had swapped front-end with mine, but now the parts are already crashed. That means his car is Levin with Trueno front & my AE26DETT is Trueno with Levin front yo.
If you think that I'm in Japan, you're wrong, actually I live in 'murica, Arizona. I'm on the side of Arizona, very near to Valo city. My AE26DETT isn't just registered on the streets & I'm using the plates of the car when it was imported from Japan. Now I probably have to get it street legal, or I'll buy a bicycle.

So, I stiffened the suspension a bit. Installed some Koni Maximum Adjustment Coilovers. Gonna load the V8 from the Vandura into it and see how it holds up. I want a decent supple ride, but I also want it to be able to have roughly 800 lbs in the back, maximum weight. Might get air suspension... What do you guys think?

So found this nice forum decided to post my first build.
After my evo 6 got stolen   I got my insurance money and bought an r34 got lucky with it and only changed its wheels so i drive that every day. But i decided to build myself a drift car to drift around the mountains  Currently not much is done i changed the whole suspension and started working on the engine (V8 Prime) It was a little powerful but i turned down the horse's a little and it seems to be fine but still tuning it before i start putting the body together |

Thanks, brother says also thanks (my irl brother made the green one). But it's no longer green anymore. It has been a long time since my last post here... While my brother was tripping (still is) he told me to take car of his AE, I installed carbon fiber quarterpanels with mirrors that he paid for & I delivered from the seller. He likes to paint his car every 4 months to completely different color, but since his paint compressor (or whatever it is) broke, I took the car to proper painter. Now the car is dark cherry red. But when it was already going for painting, I decided to take my RBE86 blue parts to painter to get them grey as the car is.
Now my RBE86 is registered & legal. Few good friends of me & my brother helped me to install a rollbar to my personal car, looks pretty nice. Also "bought" a Bride used seat from JK shop along with tinted rear lights. Plus I found a moldings for my RBE86 that actually were meant for KE70, but I cut it a bit. When I was going after parts from a guy my brother already had paid for these things, I saw a RX30 Cressida in the backyard that had been sitting in the grass for years. I asked the owner of it about that RX30. He's willing to sell it. Tomorrow I'll go back there to talk more with him. I forgot to take pictures of the it. Enough for writing today. Here are some pictures of the cars I have in my garage.

Been a few fun days already time goes way too fast. Ordered the parts that i needed online and arrived few days later in the mean time been testing out the engine settings suspension and so on.
Here it is in action already  Though it seems the transmission needs some tuning alongside the engine a little more but its nearly perfect ( engine keeps getting worse even though rpms are lower than the destruction mark also the transmission gets completely ruined after a few run any idea why?) Anyway took whole day and put all the parts together and already the car looks awesome. Took it to a friends garage and he will paint the car for me should take couple of days before i get the car back  Also going to be ordering some new rims and put these in my garage maybe for spares if i ever need some. Also probably going to need a lot of tires because this stang shreds them like munchies @Crook those wheels look awesome on that mustang |

Hey guys, couger389 hasn't been on the thread because his laptop got fried. He said he's gonna be getting a new one soon.
Anyways, I've decided to start over from the beginning. What's up guys? I just graduated college, and as a graduation gift, my parents got me this... 1999 Chevrolet Silverado half ton. Now, she's not a looker, and by no means fast... The 305 is more suited for a boat anchor. I periodically take the Chevy in for oil changes and such, and the owner (His name is Fred) said if I needed to work on my vehicle, anything in the shop is usable. I plan on upgrading the headers and carbs. Shes just 2wd for now (no transmission in the gm v8 pack is 4wd. can someone help me with editing them maybe?) There's only 2 aftermarket anythings on the engine right now, a Fram H4 oil filter, and a Summit Automotive 100 amp alternator. I just moved into an apartment with my fiance, and I work in a auto shop as a intern. Added 1 hour 1 minute later: Ah, yay. My pictures decided not to upload. I'll post pics of the Silverado tomarrow. Basically its black, bumpers are falling off, and its got quite a bit of rust. The 305 is average at best. Foot down, all out, it's only been able to hit 80 if I`m lucky, going downhill. This post was edited by dxg1997 (2014-12-02 04:15, ago) |

I'll also start from the beginning; my builds were getting a bit out of hand imo...
Hey guys, I'd like to show you my daily: A 1971 Chevrolet Camaro. It is practically the base model which I bought when I got my license.   Looks like nothing special, right? But look at this:  Yep, a Chrysler 340. The previous owner must have installed it and it was running good until a few days ago when it started smoking and misfiring. Turned out to be one cylinder not having compression. No wonder, the engine has a jillion miles on it and is basically on its last legs. Since I work at an auto wrecker with a large yard, I have access to all kinds of parts for classic US cars. I will put a larger engine in it; Maybe a HEMI I also drive the wrecker and occasionaly a 70s ramp-truck so if anyone wants to check out the place: It's Joe's auto wrecking Just outside eastern Valo.Update: I managed to dig up a perfectly good 440 Magnum 6-Pack for the Camaro!

Update on the AW11:
I couldn't source a transmission for the 4A-GE, all I could find where RWD ones, so I decided to give a chance to some local kids that opened a shop nearby and they built a little 2.0 engine for me.  It fit with some tweaking but I might have to do away with the ITB's.  I also threw in some suspension, performance brakes and rusty steelies I had on the shop.  Finally since original parts are hard to come by I got some replacements and started doing bodywork. Might be done with it in a few weeks if everything goes according to plan.

So stuff got a little expensive in Japan, and I had to sell ALL of my cars, except for the S2K
. I'm now moving to Valo! So, my new garage is somewhere in Verde Street, and I think it's near Mandelson Bay.

It's been 2 weeks since my last post lol. So, I went for a look with my brother of the Cressida X30/XR30, but you know, in the daylight cars look much worse than at night. It had much to do so I decided not to buy it, but my brother did. He & his crew made it to a very low (my golf was lower) VIP style car. I helped to do some things on that car, now it looks nice!
And a "secret" thing, I traded my M3 for a jap, it'll be secret until next post

About a week got an S54 engine from a friend for a fair price. Got a group of friends and got straight into putting it into the Bimmer. So now after about a week and a half the E34 is back and running. Didn't get on the dyno yet as i don't really care about the amount of power it makes at the moment. For now I'm happy i got it running. Anyways so... didn't do much with the exterior of the car yet only removed the roof rack, changed the head/tail light indicators to white and also tinted the windows. A lot more changes will be coming soon.
