Yay, new page!
Hey guys, today in the evening i arrived from Venice (for real) so i didn't do any work on the cars, i just contacted the DMV to get the Mazda registered, and i checked out how good exactly is the new Silvia. I already knew some details before i bought it, but i had to see it. It has a F22C engine, the swap is really well done, very clean. If i wouldn't know that this is a Nissan i wouldn't know that the engine was swapped.

It's got plenty of upgrades: Toda cams and exhaust, 470cc injectors, a KTuned thottle body, a Koyo radiator, K&N filter and a Hondata ECU. I have to dyno it some time, this must have some serious power. I may also do that with the Supra, the guy who sold me the HKS 2JZ said it has around 600hp, but i'll have to check it out.

It also has some pretty nice seats, they're yellow like the Spoon headcover and the lip on the wheels.

Wisefab front arms and Tein coilovers. It has a lot of steering lock, i could have turned it more, but i was too tired, and lazy.

I'll keep you guys updated with the work with this baby.

Well thats the cut springs life xD. I can't remember on which car I did that too, but I bought coils asap xD. Mazda is going pretty well as I can see, I will dropping at your place in 3 days, just to assemble and register the 240SX and do some modifications to the HCR32

Sup guys, today Benjamin (Phonexius) was at my place, he began the Adria tour in Slovenia. We had a good time and we did some work on the Silvia. I'll post some pictures and tell you what we were doing at the end of the week, because i'm going to Vienna for 3 days tomorrow. Stay tuned.

# FamousMan : Have fun in Vienna man! Can't wait to see what you did with the silvia.

Let me just tell you I played a lot whit the hammer xD Just kidding. Its going nice I like his S14

I bought a used Kakimoto muffler for just 50V$ a couple of days ago. It arrived today and i fitted it on the Mazda, obviously. I wanted to keep it pretty much stock but i made the first mistake. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Probably i'll end up doing something crazy. Well, at least it will be interesting. It sounds good, maybe still a little too loud, but it looks kinda good. It still needs some adjustments, because this is a random muffler from a Honda. I'll make it fit somehow.

Actually it was louder before that, because i didn't have any muffler.

Silvia looks so siiick! I like the new muffler for the Mazda too.
Also looks like you're having a blast in vienna with Phonexius! The Supra looks great next to the Skyline

Yeah, i saw a lot of interesting stuff there, but nothing was so nice as the Supra and Skyline together. The muffler i got sounds pretty good, but i think it looks like rice. Well, the muffler is made more for a better sound than a better look.

Yeah, i agree, but now i don't know if i should paint something yellow so it will fit with the seats. And i will keep it clean don't worry.

I might just do that, thanks for the idea.

For the last 3 days i was thinking how should i improve the look of the Silvia, and then i came up with some ideas for some nice details. Yesterday i went to a printery in Nova Gorica to print a decal i made for the Silvia. It cost me 150V$, because it's quite big. I went there with the Mazda, it drives well, but there was one problem. I stopped at a gas station to refuel and get something to drink, but then... the car didn't start. At that moment i couldn't know what the problem is, looks like there is still some work to do with it. It couldn't be the battery, because i already replaced it. Fortunately, there was some guy with a jeep. He had a rope, it's an important thing to have when offroading. He was heading the same way as me, so he made a strong knot with the rope and towed me all the way to home for more than 10 km.

When i got home, this Clio was still here from monday, because the poor guy broke a piston or something. I'm wondering how did he do that, it's not even a so old car. And i see some leak on the floor, so there are more problems. Well, this week we had a lot of cases like this, which means we got some serious profit. But none of them was so bad like this.


Let's move on to the Silvia, shall we? While i was in Nova Gorica i also bought some yellow paint, i thought i would paint something so the yellow colour will really stand out, I painted the bolts of the rims, not much of a difference but it's visible. It looks more like gold now, but it still looks good.

Here you can see the vinyl i got. Before i put it on i thought of another clever idea: I took my time and carefully cut a nice Silvia logo in it, slowly but surely.

Here are the final results:

It looks so much better to me now! Details like this really make a car special. And that's what i like. What do you think? Feel free to tell me how it looks to you.

I still got some paint, so i guess i'll do it

I don't know about the calipers... it would be tricky because of the logo, at the moment i'm too lazy to do that. But i'll do it some time.

This here is nothing important, well it is for me because i want my Mazda to be fully functional. Well, you may have seen my "incident" that happened 2 days ago. The engine doesn't want to start so today i was working on this. First i checked everything on the outside. I also checked the battery and it was empty! Looks like it doesn't charge at all. The battery is good, we already tested it before we put it in the Mazda. So i'm thinking the alternator might be the problem. I also saw that the drive belt was completely worn out, so i'll replace that too. Without any waiting i went on the internet and ordered these 2 parts from Ireland, lots of cheap Mazda parts are there. *LINK* *LINK* Everything including shipping cost me 185V$.

@Marcus I don't know if i should paint the lip black, it would look like stock and i don't really want that for the Silvia.

Added 21 minutes later:

And i still can't open the hood, i don't know wht's the problem.

Thanks man, this car is really something special. I'll check out the voltage when i will replace the alternator and then we'll see

You may have heard that Benjamin went to Croatia to visit Scooby, on the way he also stopped at my place. Basically we did nothing, we were just driving around and enjoying the sunshine. I also tried out his R32, what a beast! (still not such a beast as my Supra) As you can see i was drifting a lot with it.

Later on, Andrej also joined the cruise. He was driving the Civic because he was working something with his Golf.

When we got back to the garage i got an idea for the Mazda. I went to a nearby store and i bought some black foil for 10V$. I wasn't if it was legit tinting foil, but i put it on the windows anyway. It's quite dark so i didn't put it on the front windshield, because if i would i wouldn't see the road clearly.

However it doesn't look so dark from the inside, from the outside you can't see almost nothing. This is a nice accessory for any car, some say it can even increase value.

Yeah, now it's all good, thanks. I might discover another problem later, you never know, but stuff is quite easy to fix on this car. And i agree, the tint is a nice touch. And i like details like that.

What you're about to see/read is real life shit. (except that the cars were not the same )

Today is the workers day, at midnight there were fires everywhere i looked, because it's a tradition to make a bonfire every year for this day. Another tradition, which is more specific for my town is a "wake up call". It has a name like this because people gather with their beaters, which are loud as fuck because they don't have an exhaust, so they wake everyone up! All this was happening at a car park which is very close to our garage. There were a lot of people watching the action, because the guys with the beaters were doing burnouts, FWD drifts, hooning around and revving. Some of them got a little drunk so there were a few crashes. It was just crazy like every year. And of course i took some photos of all this madness.



This guy tried to drift, but he had too much grip (or not enough speed) so he hit a curb when he turned right and flipped the car. What an idiot.

I don't know how this happened, but someone managed to drive on the backyard of the garage where my Civic was parked. He must have been drunk, because he had more than enough space. And it's obvious who it was, it was the Clio that we were fixing up some time ago.

And then, instant karma happened to him.

At around 4 in the morning i said "That's enough!". I took out the Silvia, which was not very smart because someone almost hit me. Well, i could also say it was smart, because everyone shut up after that Honda engine was screaming at over 9000rpm. But they haven't finished at that time, they headed to the nearby villages.

I didn't sleep at all, even if i wanted to i couldn't because there was still someone driving around. But the main reason was a drift event at the same day, we were checking the Supra. Andrej has some contacts from part dealers, so they gave us some decals to make some sponsors, so we put them on. We went to Polo Motor show in Italy, not really a drift event. It was a rally, we were drifting only before the start of each race. There were a lot of rally cars, there were also a lot of drifters, mostly BMWs so i was standing out, i must say. I didn't have time to take pictures, obviously because i was drifting.

There were a lot of BMWs, but this one was really standing out. It was probably the most expensive car that was drifting.

This S13 was also nice, so we had to take a photo together. I already saw it once last year.

We didn't make money or anything, but we had a good time, it was great to take the Supra for a drive. This was also a good opportunity to represent our service shop a bit.

Hey guys, i'm back from a long vacation! But this doesn't mean nothing has changed. During this vacation i was at home for some time, which means i had some time to mess around with my 944. And it's changed a lot, as you can see.

The most obvious change is the paintjob. It's gold(ish) and it cost 3000V$, because it's very shiny. I wanted to make it stand out so i think i made the right choice. But before painting i bought a Duraflex front bumper *LINK* , it looks like from a 944 Turbo.

I bought a complete Bilstein coilover set *LINK* , because the old suspension was, well... old. It needed repairs so i sold it to a Porsche specialist.

The same goes for the brakes, and i also sold them to the same guy. The new brakes are from a 997, so they should do the trick. *LINK*

I didn't like the steering wheel very much, so i got this one from a classic 911. *LINK*

And for the final touch i bought this rear splitter for just 125V$. *LINK*

What would i do without eBay? I'll keep looking there to find a good engine for it.

Damn nice to see you back bro. That porsche is sick!!!
