So, I have a few choices. I was searching Valolist, and found a 2003 Subaru Impreza. Just a base model ($2,000). A 1999 Subaru Impreza Wagon, again, base model ($2500), a 1992 Toyota Celica GT-Four ($3,200) and a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse ($2,900). Which do you guys think I should get? I'm leaning slightly more towards the Wagon, because I can haul some more things in it then the rest, and make ti a sleeper, but the Celica has a turbo. I honestly don't know which to get.

And by the way, I traded M3 for a S14 Zenki! It has some small tunes, but it's great! It is 1998 Nissan Silvia S14 (second gen) 240SX with STOCK 2JZ-GTE swap. Here is the list of add-ons on the car:
- Front strut bar - Adjustable Bilstein shocks & springs - Custom front struts - stock 2JZ-GTE engine - tinted windows - D-Max roof wing - bumper lip - HKS oil cooler - HKS oil filter - Kouki rear lights & trunk - Custom exhaust system - New air & fuel system with ratio meter - Welded diff I think it's all, so far. Here are some pictures

(I know) Oh, so we're quite close eh? Because I have arrived at my new garage!
  It has a dyno! And it looks like my old garage too! Unfortunately, I am not allowed to drive the S2K, unless I do some complicated stuff, so I bought a cherry red Escort. Not really powerful, it goes uphill and that's enough for me. I'll use the Escort as a shop truck thing, y'know. First thing I did was pay Liberty City a visit, not only for the S2K thing, but to see a friend of mine.  Turns out, I can't drive the S2K... for now. So I went to ValoList to find a Japanese car, Japanese enough just to remember my roots, and found this youngster selling an Integra. Not a complete Integra, but whatever. So I went to check it out, and the moment he saw me, he knew I was Japanese. Derp. So, he thought it would be polite to lower the price for me. He made me change my thoughts about many things that moment. So, the price ended up being $7.000, and I bought it. I towed it home with the Escort.   I wasn't even mad. So I went to a junkyard to find spare parts, and found a bumper and a fender... I also found some kind of a frame for an Integra, so I got that too.  That's how it is right now. I've ordered new wheels, and tomorrow I'll start looking for a Honda engine. |

Heres the truck...
  The exhaust has fallen and is resting on the rear axle xD  Here's the little engine  I picked up the Impreza. It's actually a 2001 and it's in better condition then I thought, but I have to do something about those horrible wheels. thinking 17 inch rims with winter tires... (Actually basing the car off of one I see every morning waiting for the school bus. I'll try to snag a pic of it)  Gotta do something about that tiny exhaust pipe too.  And the EJ25  Added 14 minutes later: Schweet, I managed to find a used Duramax LLY for $700. Gonna take the Silverado, and go pick it up! The engine redlines at only 3200 rpm, but at 1000 rpm its making 520 lb ft of torque and 310 hp. Added 1 hour 15 minutes later: On the way back to the shop, the rear suspension completely collapsed, which scared the shit out of me. I thought something worse had happened. I picked up the Duramax, and realized that I was right next to a tire store, so I picked up some wheels for the Subaru. They look SWEET on it. I also picked up a new exhaust system for the Chevy because the single pipe would not cut it for that 7 liter diesel.   The truck was nearly too tall to fit in the garage!  I went back out in the Subaru before I fitted the wheels to pick up some shocks and springs for the Silverado. The entire way home in the Chevy, I had to listen to the exhaust pipe clinking on the ground. I shredded the Subaru's tires launching from a red light. That things QUICK. I got back, and installed the shocks before I dropped the 700 lb engine into the truck. I had to either rehang the rear bumper or remove it to put the new exhaust onto the truck. I couldn't afford anything chrome, or even shiny, but at least it sounds better then it did... I also took those ugly side steps off. I'm gonna wait to take care of the rust for now, its not TOO bad... The battery died when I tried to start the engine, so I grabbed another from the back of the shop   Added 27 minutes later: Also picked up an exhaust tip for the Subi. I want to get dual pipes, or even shortpipes because after the snow has passed, I want to make this a track car. Also, good news of swapping out the Chevy, it's 4wd! Just needs much better tires to handle the power! The wheels are Rotiform TMB Concave. 17".   I'm back on Valolist looking for something CHEAP that I can turn into a missile. Added 54 minutes later: I managed to locate a 1994 Porsche 944 Turbo in moderate condition for 2 grand. I asked the guy to put the car on hold till I get the money.

I got some work done on the S13 within the last couple of weeks. -
 I finally got around to buying and setting up my hydraulic handbrake. It only cost $30USD and now I can have one set up for drifting and the OEM one for basic use.  Since I lowered the car,the exhaust kept touching so I traded off with a friend who had this double shotgun setup on his S13. It's roughly as loud as the previous one..no sort of difference other than the fact that I don't scrape on every little bump anymore   The best news for the past two weeks is that I got a new bumper. The old one was too smashed up to fix so I just said fuck it and bought this sorta used one. No cracks or breaks so it's good enough for me. I also got an OEM Brick headlight but I need to source a corner light. I prefer this setup to the shitty projector thing I used to have.  I also threw back on my set of TE37s because I got a fresh set of Nankang NS2Rs to burn on this S13. Hopefully they'll last for a good few months because I don't intend on doing TOO much hooning around. If anything I'll just rotate the tyres within the next few months. The stretch on the tyres makes the car appear a bit lower,and I added 0.5 degrees negative camber to the front and rear just to give it an aggressive look. A friend painted over my damaged front fender for free; Primer,double coat and a clear coat- the full works for zero cost. Sadly,I doubt a paintjob is coming anytime until next year. Up next- replace the factory brakes with something better. |

With the help from a friend of mine I managed to swap the engine in 4 days! Old engine out took one day, it was pretty straightforward. But fitting the 440 was a pain in the neck. But there it is:
 I also got a new hood, because the 6-pack is taller than the single-carb from the 340.  @facepalm: Welcome to 'murica

I need to import something like this for me*LINK* Here's a page where you can find these  But my life isn't so beautiful, a wheel flew into my car while driving on highway... It's so odd as no cars stopped also, probably a spare? It left a small crack in windshield, god thank it didn't flew into my face, but it scratched the hood.

So update on my Integra. I got new parts from a junkyard, and managed to find a K24 engine from a crashed ricer Civic, And since it was piss cheap, I bought the Civic too. No pictures of it yet.
   Also, new wheels arrived today! Fit them in, and they look great!  I also managed to find some seats from the same donor Integra that I got the yellow parts from. It's still sitting there, and it's a bare chassis. It's on sale for $850. Quite cheap if you ask me. If you're interested, I can give you details on where it is.  And this is how it looks like right now.   I'm thinking of getting either a V6 engine, or a B16. What do you think? |

$850? Sounds good. I would like to take a look at it.
I also just sold my graduation gift from my parents (A 2011 Camaro) and bought a 1991 GMC Sonoma I could use to haul parts around. I have like $13k for parts so I could get the build going along nicely with that. Heres some pics of the truck-  Getting a swap from a buddy of mine    Can't wait to see it. Talk with you soon. |

OK, Here are some pictures of it. Parts are not in good condition, but the chassis is. The front end is half 1999 Integra, half 2000 Integra.
  Just tell me where, and I'll tow it with the Escort. Also, I decided to paint the car red. But I liked the black rear bumper, so I painted the front bumper black so it matched. I left the rusty parts the way they were for erm... style?

So, here are some pictures & info about my RBE86. It was a really good time visiting Robustock! But why I was holding that car half street / half drift? Let's make it it to 100% car! I finished stripping whole interior, not backseats only this time. Brother found me a TRD style trunk, same with his 86. I ordered Vertex bumper & sideskirts that arrived very fast, now I realized that it's another shop is just 5km away from my garage lol. Should just have driven there... Here are some pictures from photoshoot with brother.

@Facepalm dude the integra is coming along good work!
 The spoon turbo back exhaust came today so I ran by the local muffler shop to get the job done right My car is so low that they had to take the bumper off to get it up on the platform. I had to snag a pic of that exposed intercooler. I got a roof rack by Thule on order, gonna throw my spare up there. Also, I am in the market for a new drift car any suggestions? |

So, today was payday, so I hit up the local junkyard, and came across a TOTALED (driver side hit) SS 454 version of my truck! I grabbed the front fascia, brakes, rear bumper, mirrors, and lower front spoiler. I also removed the window deflectors, and those are currently for sale on Valolist. I picked up some new wheels to replace those horrible steel wheels. I love the new look of the truck. Now its got the looks to back up the engine. All those parts costed about 200 bucks
    Added 29 minutes later: So I went to the junkyard, looking for something fun, drove the Subi because I wanted to test the new tires. I found... Added 11 minutes later: I also picked up 2 Sparco seats and an Impreza STi wheel. Don't mind the sound system in the back  Added 8 minutes later: Just tested the Subaru, 0-62.1 is 4.8 seconds, 1/4 mile is 12.7 @ 102.8 mph This post was edited by dxg1997 (2014-12-04 01:35, ago) |

I picked up a new front lip for the Camaro:
 I also got a Subaru Legacy B5 for 5 grand from a youngster. It's powered by a EJ20. I'll leave the stickers on there; I'll use the car only in the wintertime, anyway.   I found a rolling chassis of a 1971 HEMI Barracuda.   It sat in a garage for abouut 15 years. Looked like a project car that was ditched and forgotten. |

So, small updates. I found sideskirts, mirrors and headlights for the Integra!
  The car looks much better now! And I can drive it legally! Also, fitted in the V6 from the S2K, and dropped in a FWD transmission.

Sweet. I'll come over in the Duramax and tow it away. I may need help loading the engine into the bed. I'll give you a ride to lunch in the Chevy so you can feel how it rides. I loaded the Subi up onto the trailer for ya. (I may (just a little bit) need a DL for the Cuda)

Gather round kids, I present you my secret build. I've been working on this one for months now. My dad had a little Fiat hidden in his garage without an engine. All the parts where boxed. He recently moved to another place and told me to sell it. I instead decided to restore it for him.
Chasis was primed and suspension work was done. This is no racecar so I went with some HR Ultra low shock and spings and some performance brakes. I also decided to use a darker primer with rust protection for the chasis.    Wheels are size 15 with low profile tires. I think it looks awesome this way.  Since there was no engine I decided to go with something more modern, reliable and with some added power. Enter a nice Honda K20 with a low boost turbo setup. It fit like a glove in the engine bay!  I also got the interior done by some Korean girl in south Valo. Steering wheel was taken form an old Alpha I have junked in the shop.  I then got some of the parts on. And one of the intern kids whipped a quick but well done exhaust for it.  Thats how it sits for now. Im still waiting for the bumpers, grill, heads and tail lights. I will then prime it and send it of to be painted. One of the kids in the shop has a nice little project that I cant wait to get my hands on and show off to you guys. Im also almost done with the AW11 so hopefully next update will be another long one

I use that same upholsterer for my vehicles I work on in the shop! I think her name is Sue...
Added 20 minutes later: So I did a little snooping and turns out the chassis number for the Cuda isn't actually registered for a grey Cuda, but Plum Crazy Purple, one of the rarer colors, and also my personal favorite. It's also a bitch to get right in a paint shop, because it's a sort of pearlescent and metallic mix thing. It's a gorgeous color in the sunlight though. I also found the guy who has the ORIGINAL 440 motor mounted inside of a Nova... Not my first choice of vehicle for such a monstrous engine. Anyways, I'm gonna go talk to the guy and offer him my 305 from the Chevy as a project, and 200 bucks. I dropped the 340 off at an engine place to be professionally rebuilt. I ordered a whole Edelbrock rebuild, complete with supercharger. We'll see how it looks when I get back in 3 DAYS. They do really good work there. (It's in east Valo, Harbour street) Added 12 minutes later: I'm finding some pretty neat shit for that Cuda. It's a factory AC car, power steering, and from the factory, came with a 4 speed Torqflite tranny. Those were REALLY rare for back then, because most vehicles had 3 speeds. I'm following a set of fenders and a front fascia on eBay... hoping I can snag them This post was edited by dxg1997 (2014-12-05 00:49, ago) |

Sorry for being off topic, I would like to add some of my builds as I do something and then come back like 2 or 3 days later do something else and so on. How do you take decent screen shots in slrr and how do I post the pictures on here? Again sorry for being off topic.
Edit: Found how to post pics, but still cant take decent photos, is it just a enb cause the screen shoots to look nice? |

# dxg1997 : I use that same upholsterer for my vehicles I work on in the shop! I think her name is Sue... Wow, looks like you got a real gem there. I can get a HEMI for it if you want. You can also drop by and pick up the sound system from the wagon; I don't need it since I will haul stuff in the wagon. Same with the exhaust tip. I installed one that sticks out less to the rear...  Since dxg got my new project car, I went around the yard where I work and I found a 1970 340 Barracuda:   Also my dad showed up and gave me his old 1966 Nova SS:   I will restore the Cuda if I can get all the parts and turn the Nova into a drag car. Good thing that my work place has some old MOPAR engines lying around. My boss is really cool about it and gives me a nice discount.

Damnit, just realized I've been saying 440 instead of Hemi this entire time...
