@Robustock : thanks ^^ Here's the continuation btw

at the next day, i bring the wreckage into Yamada-san's backyard garage (which is quite large, tbh). his garage notoriously known as the best tuning garage around Hiroshima. We ordered Blitz to tune and develop the engine, they happily agreed, but they said the engine shipment will takes a bit long time due to the shipping issues. Here's the photo when we first bring the chassis into the bay.


I repaired the body, while Yamada-san works at suspension setting and brake stuffs. We're currently using Tein shocks and brembo Brakes.
Oh, and he told me to paint the car to white, dunno why, but it quite looks good.


Then we put the wheels into the car, it's a replica CE28N, it looks very similar, but it looks like going to broke anytime, it's a placeholder anyway .
and due to the suspension setups , we installed a 50mm widebody fender, because drift car.


The next day, the engine finally came. It's a fresh RB26DETT, it produces about 620HP as the mail that comes with the engine says. Abit huge for us, but we'll try to master it, no matter what. It's free, anyway



At the afternoon,we're trying to tame the monster around Bihoku, but we're fail to control it, as the rear end is unstable as hell and the wheels makes a huge crack. Damn bootlegs!!


then we spend the night with try to eat a strange food with a tortilla wrapping in it, dunno what it called since we knew nothing about it, but it makes Yamada-san
getting a diarrhea, for some reasons. Get well soon, dude.

Since Yamada-san was sick, now i'm doing this alone. i put some wings and rear diffuser, and new rims, since the old rims are broken in half, now it's a LEGIT CE28N. I'm not going to buy or use bootleg rims anymore, meh.


then i put some sponsors stickers due to sponsors agreement, and as quickly as possible i try to put it on the track to test it. Here's the car before the action :


I haven't test it properly, but i hope it gonna ends well.

(sorry for the long post btw, i really enjoyed writing this )

Hey guys!
I've been following this forum for quite some time now but never really posted anything. Mostly due to the fact that
I'm a complete noob with photo editing and pc stuff in general. But after looking up some things I'm finally ready for my post!
Btw if I do any mistakes or you have some good criticism for me I'd appreciate it you told me. That way I'll make sure it doesn't happen again!



So I picked up this beater. It's a 1986 Ford Sierra with over 350k miles on it. As you quite clearly can see it has some rust on it and a hanging bumper. After all it's not a new car and on top of that the guy that I bought it from used it as his daily for many years. He said i'd could have it for 200 bucks so I went for it not knowing what a pain it would be...



After I got it to the shop and did a further inspection on the car I discoved that the block had a big crack in it, making the engine pretty much worthless to me. I could repair it or buy a new block but since I'm on a tight budget that isn't an option for me.



While bummed out about the news about the engine I went ahead and started inspecting the suspension and undercarriage. I found out that the suspension components were busted and needed replacing also that there were large amounts of rust in the undercarriage making the car even more worthless than it already was. At that point I realized my plan of repairing the car and selling it wouldn't go hand and hand with my budget. So now i'm sitting here with my Shitierra not knowing what to do with it. I could scrap it but it didn't feel right to do so just yet.


Hope you enjoyed this. I will back with more once I figure out how you liked it Thanks for reading!

Got new wheels for the E34... also got a lip for the front bumper, roof spoiler and a small trunk spoiler added during the last week or so. Wheels that i bought are Borbet As 16''. They also came with slightly used tires. Got the new H&R coils set installed over the last few days, but didn't play around with the setup yet as I'm content with how the car sits at the moment. After the winter I'll be buying some proper wheels in 17 or 18'' and then I'll be playing around with the car's height setup.

-1 month later-
Got the AE86 back after about two weeks. Since then I have done some upgrades to it.
Those were taken right after getting my car back.


Also did some upgrades to the engine, installing the TRD spark wires, changing all the belts to HKS belts, new HKS oil filter, and a supercharger(even found a 4A-GZE cylinder head cover).

The car is now pushing 200hp. This is the end of upgrades for a while as I have to daily it since I sold my Miata.

Nice shot, and good buy on that turbo! Pics of the black top coming soon, I JUST recovered from my scare of losing my slrr

Added 9 minutes later:

And, when I started my comp back up, it decided it had to do the windows startup repair, so I did it, and it somehow reset all my cfg files for slrr, so I have to go back through, and fix them. Using the slrr editor, and redownloading some mods... ugh...

Heres the Ae86. Black top head adds ALOT of power with those extra 4 valves. Power is up from 305 to 452, right in the range I wanted, and its not turbo, its supercharged, so no sudden boost of speed I decided to pick up some tow hooks, and said, why stop there? and got a Bride seat, with Takata 5-point, rollcage, hydraulic handbrake, steering wheel from an X30 Cressida, some HKS guages, strut braces, and some racing pedals. I got most of the parts are used (seat, gauges, pedals) and had to fab the cage myself. The welds on it are shit xD but they'll hold, because I welded the shit out of them. Installed larger exhaust so there's less back pressure to rob power. Picked up an endless brake kit, and some Weds Sport Tc005's 18" wrapped in used Toyo Proxes. (Little pissed off because the shock goes through the front brakes... AGH) Need to pick up some 40 mm spacers for the rear wheels. Gonna get her checked out, and take her to Ebisu. If you guys have any stickers you want me to put onto it, just post them here and I'll put them onto the car!

Decided when I get there gonna strap a bunch of Go-Pros onto it. Fred has like, 4, and he said I could borrow them. THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME. From what I've heard its an amazing track to drift on (does anyone have the full track? I only have Minami...)

Sure man!

Shit, were just down the road from each other, just come on over, and I'll start getting the trip set up. Need to know what vehicles you want to take, how long you want to stay (I'm going for about 2 weeks)

# dxg1997 : Shit, were just down the road from each other, just come on over, and I'll start getting the trip set up. Need to know what vehicles you want to take, how long you want to stay (I'm going for about 2 weeks)

I'll take the Escort and the Carlton with me. And I'll stay for 2 weeks too, I have a house over there, and you're most welcome to stay with me!

Well, I'd say the Civic, but choose whichever you want, the garage is quite large, it will fit your cars. Also, change of plans, I'll get the Carlton only. Decided it's better to keep the Escort here.

# David_2709 : Here are the summer rims

The tires are okay-ish condition, so I might get new ones.

You MAY, just MAY be missing brake calipers... Good luck stopping! xD

# dxg1997 : You MAY, just MAY be missing brake calipers... Good luck stopping! xD

Real men don't need brakes

you just turn, thats why you have a steering wheel.

well i bought a REKT 240 it was pretty nasty looking but 300$ wasnt bad
plus a ruined 2j






I stripped the plain and interior on straightened most of the body out but there was still some structural damage done.
i also replaced the damaged suspension with some tokico full suspension kit set at 7" at all wheels.


2 Days later:
Finished the body work and added some little things like ecu and wiring and more tiny things.





2 hours later:
Got some 18 inch forgiato Rims for now off my old bmw with nice tread.

Hours later:
fitted the 2j but cant find my intercooler any one have an extra laying around for the twin turbo pipe set up?

oh please, you don't owe me anything. Use whatever you want for free! And yeah, she left her mark on the boat. Thankfully my Carlton is intact, and we are fine too! Also, I'm going to find a new project too.

I decided to scrap the Sierra. It had way too much rust to get a profit out of it once repaired. So I started on my other project instead!



I bought this 240sx from a guy at Ebisu circuit a couple months ago. I was there for Ebisu Matsuri and on my way in I saw this. I decided to go over there and talk to the owner. He said he had it for a while and if I'm interested I could buy it. Long story short, it's mine now.



It has a completely stock 2JZ-GE that runs like a clock. I will most likely upgrade it, probably a turbo, cams and who knows what. I want it to be sort of a showcar but not to the point that I'm afraid to drive it xD. I'd also like to make a driftcar out of her!



I decided to get to the suspension first. I didn't like how high it was so I went with some adjustlable control arms, KW racing 4,5 springs and left the stock shocks in it. Also threw on some 18 inch Volk VSKF. They will fit it nicely once more is done to it!

My plans for it is a bodykit. And ofc some more horsepower, it barely pushes 250 hp right now so i'd like atleast 100-200 hp more!

Finally found myself a daily. It's a CRX with lowered coilovers, and a stock B16 engine.



Now I can get back to work upgrading the AE86!

New rims, turbo, new paint. Nothing crazy or anything.

GODDAMNIT SLRR!!!! ALL MY PLAYERCARS ARE GONE. ALL MY CARS ARE TOTALLY MISSING AND I'M PISSED AS FUCK BECAUSE I HAVE TO REBUILD THEM ALL

So, at the track, I traded some parts around, and got some crystal black led taillights, a front bumper (had to hold it on with zipties) and a second seat, and decided to do ride alongs for $30 each, or 3563 yen. Someone gave me $179,000 for the Cuda, and someone else got the Civic for $30,000... I've never had so much money at once in my life!!! Anyways, I went back and bought the Datsun, and now just waiting on it to be delivered to Valo City...

I called ahead to Fred and told him that when the car arrives, to paint it dark green, and order an RB26DETT and a full Time Attack bodykit. I want build on the suspension the guy put onto it, it's actually pretty decent, but I might get bigger rims, and better brakes, but for now, the Work Meshes and tiny brakes will do just for testing. Anyone have any 18" rims I might be able to buy?
