SLRR Roleplay Car builds

couger389 · 2014-09-21T04:07:21+00:00

What is up my fellow Vstancer's. While sitting in the jail we all call school. I thought of an idea that I thought would be pretty cool. I am going to take you through my 1-2 week build of this S15 on SLRR. Now this will have some roleplay involved since I could easily build this thing in 30 mins. So I will break this into small bits and post about it everyday. Feel free to ask questions, add suggestions, or even add to the roleplay. Also, post your own builds! Now enough of the boring stuff let

I just change the format form .tga to .png and that's it XD I could cut out the car so you won't see the menu in the garage. Color adjustments and stuff is beyond my skill level.

We might be on even footing then haha. The best I can do is crop the photo so all you see is the car, and not the menu up top and such.

well, sad to say, some idiot thought it was a great idea to drift on the street and wrecked into my Corvette while I was practicing at the track in my new Lexus D1.

Atleast i still have this beauty and the BMW.

Well day was slow in the shop so I worked on the car with the help of the guys. Engine is in and bodywork started. Wiring is still being worked on and I still need a six speed transmission.

Also got the new wheels mounted. Might remove them for paint or maybe leave them as is.

I'm also working on the wife's Jetta, going to some auto wrecking yards later so see if I can find parts. I still have money left from the sale of the Porsche because most of the parts I've been buying are either made in shop, cheap clones or used. Budget racer FTW!

Update: Jetta is in really good shape bodywise so not much has to be done. It had nice suspension already so I only worked on the brakes. Got the circle headlight front end because I hate the square one and also found (most of) a MK4 VR6 3.2 Guy is delivering the intake manifold in the morning but he says the engine ran before it was stored.

Hopefully I will work on getting it installed and wired (bought a wiring kit from some local guys that do them) in the next few days while the Supra gets the wiring fixed and body primed. I still have to work on customer cars so it might take me some time.

Sucks about the 'vette man. I got some friends on their way over to my garage right now...weekend thrash #2 is coming up. Hopefully by the end of this one, she'll be headed into the paint booth! We have all the body panels just waiting for final assembly.

Ok, so we've got the bottles mounted in the bed (covered by the bed cover);

Managed to get our hands on some very high quality/low wear & tear interior pieces;

Picked out some very nice shoes for the ole' girl. Work Vs-KF 18x9 wrapped in 255/20/ZR18 Toyo Proxes R888 rubber;

And finally got the poor girl off the lift. She's holding her own weight now!

The to-do list keeps getting shorter, and shorter boys. Before you know it, the beast will be out there street sharkin' with the rest of ya!

I was browsing the earlier pages, checking out some of your guys' older rides and stumbled upon one of my dream trucks. Haku's crew cab dually C-10. Not gonna lie, after I seen it, I came straight here to ask...what's the latest on that ride? Is it just a one-off project? Is it for sale/sold? Basically...how can I get one? I may have fallen in love with it in the span of approximately 1.5 seconds.

Haku

Hey nice truck, Skyway. Welcome to the city too.

skyway1987

Thanks man. She's getting there, and you complimenting it is high praise, coming from the builder of that gorgeous dually. haha

🙂) Thank you very much man, thought everyone would have forgot about her. She's still around as my shop truck, but I haven't done anything new. I'm a car guy but I've always had a soft spot for lowered trucks.

skyway1987

After seeing her, I don't think I'll ever forget it. One of the best looking rides I've ever seen. I've been into minitrucks and such for the last decade and the holy grail is and always will be, to me at least, a bagged/hammered dually. The fact that it's a 1966 C-10 just makes it that much more of a unicorn to me. If she's doing shop truck duty, you've got yourself one gorgeous shop truck!

My shop truck on the other hand... Its taller then his and supercharged now! The bed is starting to show its use, so its a bit scratched from hauling metal tubing (mostly for exhaust cuz I make mine from scratch), engines, and other assorted parts.

The Glorious engine now

skyway1987

I think it may be time for a bedliner. Other than that, which is going to show usage, especially in a truck that gets used as a truck should, that's not to shabby of a shop truck either.

Since we got on the topic of shop trucks, here is my boulevard cruiser, daily driven workhorse. Occasionally she has been known to make a parts run or two. Nothing earth shattering, just an iron block LQ9 with twin 67s backed by a T-56. Suspension is coil over swap on all four corners, with a 4-link in the back, riding on H&R Street Performance coil overs. Nothing special for wheels and tires either, just some 19x11 CCW Classics and 255/25ZR19 Proxes R888s.

Added 1 minute later:

I forgot to ask, that's nice, aggressive wheel/tire setup on yours, dxg, what kinda tires are those?

dxg1997

Their Kumho RoadAdventure MT KL 285/65 r19's mounted on custom made wheels. Fred had me do an engine run. Friggin HEAVY ass thing! it was some custom built quad turbo thing. It actually sagged the suspension on the truck! The engine was dynod at 1200 hp, and weighed in at about 500 lbs. He had me pick a few other nicknacks up as well that he needed, and those are things like offroad bumpers xD I might go and get some kind of air ride setup on the truck, and a roll bar. idk yet though

Added 20 minutes later:

Also, couldnt help it, got a REALLY good deal on a 2007 Chevrolet Colorado with a V6 in it. (I know they came with I4's or even I5's but shut up lol). I think I'm just gonna flip this one lol.

skyway1987

That's definitely a clean Colorado. Someone put some time into making that 4/5cyl swap to 6cyl look nice, clean and professional.

dxg1997

I plan on lifting it. solid axle conversion front and rear. maybe a supercharger... big wheels definitly.

Haku

I'm gonna pull out the Dually for a late night photo session tonight, just for Skyway 🙂)
