Coprone # Robustock : Coprone I remember you had an Rx-7 somewhere, maybe you sold it or idk, the point is that i'm insterested in a Rx-7 FD in good conditions at least chassis, interior and suspeion and can't here near me. I can't spend more than 8.000€ so if you guys got some deals let me know. I sold it :/
Facepalm So, I bought a donor Civic, so I can strip it's parts. All of them. If anyone needs EG6 Civic parts, just let me know 🙂 And now we get to my new project car! A Lotus Carlton. There's no rust on the chassis. The rust you see is just paintwork rust. And here it is with the suspension system and the seats and steering wheel from the Civic. I'll drop in the 2JZ from the Cadriftllac. Oh right, forgot to mention that. Before selling my old cars, I got the 2JZ off the Cadillac, and important stuff from other cars. Then I sold them. I will drop in the 2JZ in the Carlton, and about other stuff, I don't know yet. Added 15 minutes later: Aaaand it's in! Added 2 hours 4 minutes later: Installed a rollcage, and found a spare door 😃! This will be a drift car. Still no exhaust though.
dxg1997 @facepalm I'll the the rest of the chassis and engine of the Civic Added 5 minutes later: Holy shiet, I typed the VIN wrong into the computer... it IS ACTUALLY a 440, not a hemi... wtf xD
Facepalm @dxg Okay then! I'll give them to you for $350. You'll come pick them up, or should I tow them with the Escort?
Daniel Got a good deal on some Work VS-KF for the R33, so it will no longer have to stay on steelies! Had to buy some widening fenders for the rear because the rear wheels were kinda.. wide. I also got a new muffler because the old one magically.. err.. dissapeared.
zerito Fiat parts arrived and we got them installed, primed and sent for paint. I got the IVAA grill and headlights and Europa bumpers. I wanted to go Rally replica but those parts are hard to find! I really dig the color and I think the car came out nice. And here is a picture of its first trip out of the shop. Drives good and I expect it to last a while. Anyways remember that project one of my interns has? Well here is a sneak peek of it. I sold the AW11 and got me a new project. One of my dream cars. Details on that one soon.
dxg1997 I@facepalm I'll come get em in the Duramax. I still got the 340 in the bed, snd that little 4 banger should fit there, and the Chassis WILL fit on the flat trailer. I wanna see how much weight the rear springs and socks can handle and still ride well.
gt3076r Minor update- Well, as ridiculous as my luck is, I damaged my rear bumper. I was coming around the last corner at the track sideways and I clipped the barrier,causing the bumper to fly off and split into 3 parts. Nothing that can't be ziptied. For now, I got my rattle can painted OEM bumper and a diffusor I bought off of a friend's RX7 for small cash. Not bad but I prefer my previous bumper.
Tom_Diablo @dxg: Your Duramax sure has a lot of torque! Lovin' it! Strangely the guy who sold it to me said it was a HEMI cuda... My initial plan for the 70 cuda was to put "it's" 340 back in and supercharge it, but unfortunately we didn't had a 340 lying around. But instead I found a 383 without the air intake: So I went to the parts store and bought a supercharger kit and a set of holley carbs: The 383 had a Torqueflite 3-Speed automatic attached to it and I went ahead to the dyno: It has 530hp now!
Coprone Been working & drifting, working & drifting. After a lot of close-calls & scratches, my RBE86 looks awful with those scratches, dents & marks. I started to sand off the biggest problems, then a bit of bog(?) & sanding again, then some layers of paint & shit again.
BushyAlmighty It's been awhile since I've posted, so here's a little update. My garage burnt down and I lost all my cars expect for my shop truck. With the money from the insurance I bought a new garage. Then I sold my shop truck to find something that was easier on fuel. I then went down to a little shop called Import 25 and picked up a R32 GTS. Coprone can you give the name of those rims on your RBE86 or a link please.
Tom_Diablo I gave the Camaro to my dad since he always wanted a 70s Camaro. I sold the Legacy, because I already have a AWD car for winter. You can give old cars to my boss and we part them out. So a guy showed up with a red 1977 Pontiac Trans Am on a trailer. It sat around for years and the tires are cracked like hell (I was surprised that they are actually holding air) and the body is rusty underneath. He was like: "Do you buy this?" My boss knows that I like cars like that and we worked out a deal: Joe (My boss) took out the engine, the hood and the front and I got the rest for 800 bucks. The Trans Am will be my new summer daily when it is done. Maybe I'll get a IROC Camaro and a Charger some day. You know, I'll have a nice little muscle car collection 😃 :woot:
BushyAlmighty # shaforostov : private rims,sir. Well that sucks. Do you know what they're called in real life?
Coprone XR-4. I had my S14 stancing a secret meanwhile 🙂 now it's fully stanced to ground (with bags)
Daniel # BushyAlmighty : Well that sucks. Do you know what they're called in real life? SSR Longchamp XR4
