Thanks for granting me this opportunity, Ryku. This is going to be awesome.
Today, I bought some stuff from a friend for the 240. P U R C H A S E S-(S13) Nissan 240SX Chuki front bumper-(S13) Nissan 240SX rear bumper -(S13) Nissan 240SX trunklid C O S T: V$200The reason I bought used panels is, I didn't want to drill holes in my mint condition panels. (they're also mint in colour lmao) I'm currently sitting at the PA of some basically empty mountain pass right now, adjusting my suspension again. I got beached on the way up and none of the group noticed that I was gone... I had to call my friend in his 240Z over our very sketchy walkie-talkie system, which doesn't work 95% of the time, to come set me free. Anyways, I am going to experiment with different aero setups for a while. I have all my other goodies locked away in the backroom for the time being. |

So i painted the front bumper, and front right quarter panel. I had to buy a whole new left quarter panel off this dude at this used car place he tried to make me buy the entire car but that FC was basically dead. So i bought the panel, left, and painted that too. After that i went to get some shot in this rust bucket.

@Ryku: That looks like it's coming along very nicely
@Nexion: The 240SX is powered by a 1.5JZ, I don't know the specifics because I didn't build the motor, but if you are really interested you could ask the previous owner about it (Famousman). |

Part's are finally here! Thanks to my buddies at Garage Nine.
  The door fits pretty well so i'm just dying with happiness. Had to replace the side skirt, and quarter panel.  Besides that today i'm leaving to go off to japan once again. I'm moving to Kobe 39 mins from Osaka. |

Nothing new on the 240SX.
 I am shopping around for a rear spoiler, though. I have an idea that requires a trip to the junkyard... |

So, since I just joined the team I probably should introduce myself.
My name is Francis, I'm from Ireland and I currently own a Bora (which i'm selling) and a K20A2 swapped rwd Toyota MR-S (which i'm also gonna sell when I get to Japan). I love street drifting and i'm looking for a Chaser or a 4 door R32 Skyline. |

I'm gonna buy the Levin. The owner said he's gonna deliver it to me, but he might take a few hours because he has to drive it to me. Does anyone one think it's too expensive?
Added 19 minutes later: *Rims* Found these on UpGarage. Pretty cheap. Gonna get them if i can affod them. lol Added 3 minutes later: *A wild FC RX7 appears in the distance* This post was edited by skip (2016-06-19 12:06, ago) |

So I have my Levin. The guy just got here a half hour ago, but I decided to have a drive first and get some petrol because it was low.
pix   It runs great, engine is fine and the body is immaculate. The rear left suspension has issues though, which I'll fix later. Probably gonna get it registered and pick up the SSR's soon. |

On my way back I went to pick up the SSR MK1's that I had my eye on. They were still there, thank god. I also got a Nobu Drift Team Sticker printed aswell.
The SSR's look a lot better but have alot of offset. I'm gonna have to get overfenders some day Pictures

I went to Garage Shapple to see if the owner had any cheap parts for a Levin. He said he only had 1 donor car, and this was it:
   He said he was gonna scrap it, but if I wanted parts off it he would keep it. After completely searching every inch of the car, the only useful things I seen were a new-ish TODA N1 exhaust system and scratched and chipped Vertex front and rear bumpers. I only bought the bumpers, because if I bought them new they would cost over V$800 when I could get them here for V$175. Gonna buy the overfenders also because they look new-ish and I need them badly. He said they cost around V$90 for all (I got these prices only then dropped them a bit because the are used) V$175+V$90=V$265 V$565.63-V$265=V$298.63 |

From what I remember the engine is dead, the suspension needs to be completely replaced, interior needs to be replaced and the body is extremely rusty in places.
You would probably be better off buying a Levin from a used car dealership. But if you really want it I could ask when I go to pick up the bumpers tomorrow? |

So last night i decided to go up to some random pass with my cousin. and there was a group of racers. (I wish i had Nobu there with meh) they challenged me and my FC i couldn't back down that would be a sissy way to act. So i said yes and as i said that a fuckin R32 pulls up,and turn's out that's the guy i'm suppose to race. they wanted 3 run's me vs all all, but im not dumb i'd get destroyed. So i kinda ending up racing the r32, and sad to say i lost. I couldn't corner like he could with that slip system. he'd just rocket out of the corners. Next time im bring you guys XD.

Just a quick update on the Levin. I fitted the front & rear Vertex bumpers, and then decided to buy the sideskirts when I was picking them up. They only cost V$100, so it was a good buy. The front bumper is being held on by cable ties rn, don't know what the owner of the other Levin did but they messed it up. Gonna get some parts for my engine tomorrow after work.
 (If you noticed the dent, I was drifting in some random backroads near the outskirts of Ikeda and I might have clipped a wall) |

Found a Miata finally.
    1990 Mazda Miata. It's in pretty great shape(Exterior). Stock interior, but its shitty the seats are ripped to shit, The owner said it was just because of his dog. the engine is stock pushing 111hp but i just think it needs and oil change. It's also needs a new Exhaust system, and it also needs a new Steering wheel because it looks just as bad as the seats. I don't know how, or why he has a left hand drive miata in japan but i'm still gonna take it because i cant find another miata believe it or not. That's all i have for now. hmu if you have a nice set of rims for this car because i don't know a good set PURCHASES Mazda Miata 1990 COST:V$5,000 This post was edited by Ryku220 (2016-06-25 12:52, ago) |

LOL thanks Tofu i grew up in america too so this isn't that different to me I did pick up some new stuff though. I found some nice ass RS Watanabe for 6k so those are pretty nice.
 I also brought a bride racing seat for it considering the stock seats in this miata are K.O'ed.  I also put the steering wheel i had in the ER34 in the miata. LOL yea it is Tiger print but it fits this miata i think.  Lastly i took the Fog lights off of my FC and put them on, because why not.  PURCHASES RS Watanabe Bride Seat COST:V$6,750 |

Those watanabes fit the car really nice, they kinda follow the same style of original rims but with more dish, I'm a bit suprised that you couldn't get a better deal on them.
