Okay so I painted the doors and fixed the suspension on the Crown Vic, and primered the Celica, or whatever is in it so far.



I decided to take the Crown Victoria for a spin on East Valo's highway.
It was nice, no wind, sunny... Perfect for a cruise!

But then I heard a sound... It sounded loud, violent and fast.
It could be just one of those wannabes...

It sounded like something I've never heard before. It definitely wasn't a wannabe...

It couldn't be....

Yes it was! The F355! What a lucky day!

He slingshot by me, I floored it on the Crown Vic, but I didn't manage much before he vanished into the distance...
I'm really hyped up now! I can't wait to finally build a decent car that can take on him!
But first, I need to fix the running gear on the Celica, otherwise it'll handle like shit.


(Note: Apparently, I got the wrong ride height and the wrong wheel size on the F355. That'll be fixed next time it appears)

We finished working on the 240 last night and got some pics afterwards.
-ISIS performance 5 lug hubs, Inner tie rods and sway bars.
-New brake discs (Already forgot which brand)
-Work Euroline DH (Originally bought for the E36)
-And some knock-off Racelands since i was running out of cash from buying the Works.



Think i'll daily this and thrash the E36 since this is 10x cleaner than it and it's becoming harder to find decent S13s.

Added 3 minutes later:

Ohh and i almost forgot, i got a Nardi wheel too.. cause ya, fuckboy 240.

I've told you that you can get a Civic for cheap. I've paid about 120.000 Yen for this ricey EK9.


So why is it so cheap? Because it is basically trashed. The engine does run but has a serious crank knock. When I bought this my brother followed me in his Fairlady so we could tow the Civic if the engine decides to seize up. The fella who owned it was one of these guys who think they have a racecar just because the have a bodykit and a too large exhaust. Sticker bombs included.
But I admit, I kinda like the bodykit. With some proper rims and lowering it will look decent. The car will be yellow with a black hood. You know what EK9 has this colors :D

So, the Supra is back from the paint shop! It wasn't cheap, but for now my friend, which owns the local tuning shop has taken care of the costs. He has some contacts from part dealers, so we may also save some money when we will order parts we'll need.

Here she is:


We also had a closer look at the engine and found out that the cylinder head won't last any longer. It needs to be replaced right away.
But there is also a good side: A 6-speed gearbox from the 2JZ-GTE, and an upgraded clutch and flywheel.



The internals are ok. If we'll have enough money we'll add some power to the engine because 200hp just doesn't cut it. :D


Later we will take a look at the suspension, because it's probably very worn from drifting. :P It needs harder handling, because i'm going to continue the same purpose.

So, the CTS-V is a write off, and I have decided to part it out, if anybody wants the LSA or any parts off of the LSA just hit me up. The Plymouth was sold to a true Plymouth nut who is going to do the car justice. The Mustang came in at 393 WHP, by the way.

Since I'm kind of pissed off about my whole car situation right now, I decided to channel my anger and rip the back seats out of the Mustang, I had been planning to for a while but I never got around to it. The Mustang is currently my only car, and I cant really represent my agency in a mid 90's Mustang that is way too loud. I need to find a professional looking vehicle A.S.A.P.

My S14 drift car in almost full effect.







I could really care less what people think of the appearance, I built the car with my own style in mind. Individuality is key. 600WHP of RB25 goodness and some meaty tires to put it down. Unfortunately I've been waiting on wheels for a while but they're just now getting rebuilt and finished, so I decided to take the pictures with it's temp wheels on. In my next build I plan to do my posts like I did when I started, doing step by step posts of the car instead of doing a bunch over time and updating a month later. Next project car is already purchased, stay tuned.

I feel no ways, because it is my fake car lmao.

On the way to the event I encountered another Mustang driver, we chatted for a bit and definitely did not hoon in that parking lot. He said he had to be on his way so I used my daughter's selfie stick that she left in my car to take this high angle photo of our cars.

(Not sure if anybody caught this last time I said it but my character was born in 1975 xD)

You know the realism police thing was satire, right? Fuck, why does everyone take it so seriously here... And yeah, take pictures of real cars, it's quite a fun job actually. But not just that, I'm also planning on starting another business, writing articles for a local car magazine so that we can launch it, and finishing up school so that I can make my way to college. Also saving for a real car so that people can talk shit about what I do to it in person as well :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) How much do you enjoy your life?

So my friend is selling his boat -





He's asking $9500 for it which is pretty reasonable by me considering the work done. Sits on Fortune Auto coilovers and has four nearly new Yokohama Advan Neovas on it. Most of the work's gone to the motor -



It's a 1.5JZGTE. Stock 2JZ bottom end to a Powerhouse Racing ported/polished head, Tomei 272 Procams, Trust TD06G turbo, Blitz CS Mount Intercooler, HKS SSQV, puts out a reliable 450 horsepower, all mated to a Nissan FS5R30 gearbox running to an R33 diff. Took it for a drive and I'm super tempted to trade the S13 for it.

So i wasnt able to take time and write posts ower the week, so it will be a biger update.

We almost done practicly, we pulled engine out and started working on the suspension and brakes.Once we changed everything out and mounted the new rims, we got engine back in.Yesterday we mounted other small things that were waiting for instalation and it is now almost done, just a few small things and then to register the car and pass the inspection.We instaled Tokico coils and new Brembo brakes with Porsche calipers (they yellow so just imagine it says Porsche :D ).Rims are aswel from a Porsche, Teledials 16x9 sitting on BF Goodrich tyres.The coils are set somwhere in the mid, i think i can drop it further 2-3cm, need a camber kit for that and might need to roll the fenders.Will se once i pass the inspection.Here are some pics from the garage ower the week.

May I just tell everyone my opinion about this thread? I think it looks more and more like a second "showoff your rides" thread.
Nearly no one interacts with other players.

These were my two cents

[On Roleplay mode]

@JdmSly : Did you already tow your car back home? If not I have a good trailer. I can take it to my shop to see if it can be repaired... Or if you want to sell it.

@Marcus : This car looks awesome and tempting, I'd trade it if I were you but why did your friend put a Toyota engine in a Nissan?

I completely agree with the first part..that is one of the main reasons why this thread doesn't have much purpose other than making up a quick story and finishing your car in a day.

On RP mode - He bought the car from Japan with a blown RB25DET in it, seeing that RB parts are hard to find stateside, he decided to go JZ.

Well, shit just went down, again. Me and my friend (Purple Widebody S15) went out touge/drifting in the mountains and we went a little too fast.
My friends rear brakes locked up and he spun out of control causing me to hit him in the rear. On my side, everything fine just a couple of bruises but my friend went flying over the rail, spinning 5 times and landed on the roof. The 200sx somehow landed on the rail before the next corner . My friend passed away just this morning in the hospital, im NEVER going to drive on those roads again.

The 200sx is fine, just cosmetic damage but my friends S15 is ded, totalled, banana.

Sorry for your loss, pinter. That is why I never started drifting the mountain roads around here. Makoto does, tho and I am always worried until he arrives back in the shop safe and sound. He is always like: "Come on, Keitaro! You know you want it!" But I'll show him your post and maybe he'll get reasonable.

Btw, I got the engine out of the Civic and checked it. That thing is a total mess. Looks like the guy drove it with low oil and what happened is kinda obvious.

Sad story, that's why I don't street race anymore. You can never find the same level of safety you get on a race track. My thoughts goes to you and to his family of course.
By the way, i advice you to drive anything immediately if you haven't touched a steering wheel since your crash.

the more you wait, the more you'll be afraid to drive again.

To Marcus : i'll try to import a Supra with RB26 engine to restore world's order *laughs*

To Tom : since you've got a shop in Japan and i've got a brand new import shop in Europe, maybe we could work together?

Here's the new project, it'll be a simple one for now.





I needed something that would keep me from getting in too much trouble while driving on the daily, as the S4 was a quick car I found myself pulled over quite a few times. I've always had a love for the aesthetics of old BMWs (E36 and older) and I found this E24 for a great deal. It's not an M6, but it's been kept in immaculate condition over the years. It's a 635 CSi with the 5 speed manual gearbox and black trim. It's a fun car and as of 2 nights ago I got to working on the monster truck fitment.



Had some banded steelies for a little while, I figured now's the time to use them. I fitted some winter tires so I can drive around in the snow and this is the result.



Oh, and it's on air, as per usual.

I don't know a whole bunch about these cars so this will be a learning process for me as I continue to make it into a more suitable daily for my own tastes. Thoughts on it?

No one interacts anymore because everyone's too busy being miserable about other people's builds. The negativity keeps us from wanting to interact, in fear that we'll get shit talked by the people who don't actually contribute to the forum anyway.

I think I'll do both. The idea is keeping some cars in stock for showing and advertising, thus I'd import used and mostly stock cars.
Then I'll also import cars following my clients needs. But since I like JDM a lot I'll be great to learn from Japanese masters.
Thanks for the idea anyways.

Installed some new mufflers, looks nice and sounds a bit louder.
