Hey Guy's the names Nathan aka Crazy88. I'm 24 and I'm from Atlanta Georgia I moved to California to pursue an art degree, while going to school I work at an insurance agency and it my free time I dabble in photography. With a lot of saving I was able to purchase my first car. A 2014 Scion FRS/Toyota GT86 A car I had my I on since it came out. I spent about V$10,000.00 at one my local Toyota's clearance sales which was an awesome deal, I didn't want to buy a used FRS/GT86 because I wanted a clea

Man that frs is beautiful I cannot wait to get back into the stanced life

Decisions...Decisions....

Having to work two different jobs plus going to school is a pain in the ass, so I quit my accounting job to work at the dealership, it pays better due to high commission and it's more exciting, I get to broker and go through a shit load of rare exotics.

Like today I had to go sign off the delivery of a Bugatti Veyron SuperSport and damn that shit is mean.

To think majority of the collectors live in California and you rarely see these beasts.

What a car.

Oh and I think I'm gonna buy another car but not the Porsche........another AWD 6 Cylinder Legend.

Now back to my boring 240.

I bought a rear lip and had the engine installed on Monday and today I had the car started and running, I sent the car to get everything dialed and had the car dynoed with a new tune, and with a little fiddling it makes more power than what it was rated at.

And that's good enough.

To christen and break in the engine into it's new body what better a ritual than drifting.....onto the freaking freeway, and no, I wasn't driving in this photo, I'm not that skilled.

Now the rebuild for my Sileighty is finally finished well for it's new stage and I'm pretty happy. May not be unique when it comes to S-Chassis' but it's unique to me. The track will be seeing me soon.

Rear Lip V$75

So Badass this sileighty

Crazy_Eighty_Eight

New Car, New Build.

So the EM1 was a terrific daily and was gonna make a terrific sleeper, sadly I just had to let her go, I hope her new owner continues the build into something fucking insane.

I also got V$6,000 for her, Thank God for Mods.

With this newly acquired wealth, I bought a replacement daily.

A E36 M3.

Now this was a hard decision to make, I had my mind on a RX7 FB or an FC, they were also up there in my choices and bang for buck, hell, I thought about buying a S197 Mustang (2005), I've always wanted an M3 and this was the best one I could afford.

Luckily the dealership had one, and I got this one for V$8,000 pretty good considering a better one goes up to the high 10s.

The car has been well maintained, and came with it's service history since it's purchase in 98', instead of the original M3 wheels, it has the rims from the M135i. The car has been repainted cool grey, since it's original Boston Green color faded.

And it's a looker.

It's registered, but I'm waiting for my vanity plated to be delivered.

Now my plans for this is to be a weekend warrior, the ultimate cruiser and daily.

Now I suppose the car has lost a few horsepowers even though it was beautifully maintained, so bolt ons and engine mods are a must.

ALSOOOOOOOOOOOOO..........

I went to a small meet with some of my classmates and this was my impression of a Mustang leaving the Parking Lot.

Don't worry I didn't crash.

I'll make a post about that another day.

Little update.

Since I bought the M3 I've done a little bit of work on it, I'm literally going broke but it's worth it.

Oh and I finally got the Vanity Plate.

First on the build, I bought a replica lip that is reminiscent of the M3 GT which looks cool and I painted the chrome grill black for that stealth look, I'm thinking of taking the car out for track events, so I don't know the lips functionality when it comes to aero but I'll do the math later.

I also bought some used TE37's and I ordered a Koni Dynamics coilover kit, it hasn't been delivered so I have to wait.

But how the car sits now it's gorgeous.

Now the 240SX.............

The car is basically finished but, I've added some gauges...boost..oil temp y'know the typical things, a new Bride Seat, a hydro e-brake, a Carbon Creations rear diffuser and the thing that makes me smile every time I get into it, the HKS print upholstery.

I got it made off this website called Woven Monkey and they're work is fantastic and it looks pretty cool but it did cost a bit for the amount I wanted.

The right now car is at it's peak and is more fun sliding on a back road.

Speaking of back roads over the weekend I met this guy in a RHD Integra while I was taking a cruise up Griffith Park and well the ensuing battle that took place made me feel like I was doing the Akina Downhill.

That Integra that I was up against is a beast.....I kinda regret selling that Civic.

But if things go as planned I'll own another one.

I didn't have time to do my expenditure, so I'll do it in my next update.

But just know....................I'm pretty fucking broke.

The Renaissance

I'm doing some restructuring of my garage and life with cars, I've been working at a Collectors Car Dealership for about a month, and I have to admit the job is extremely demanding especially when it contains cars worth more than your life.

Before I continue here's my monthly update of my funds.

Spoiler:

Outstanding Bill

BMW E36 Lip V$60
18" Volk TE37's V$800
Koni Dynamics Coil Over Kit V$1,000+ Clearing CostV$200

Hourly Wage:V$20.00 No Overtime

Weekly Wage: V$800.00

Commission Per Vehicle:V$800 + Delivery Cost V$150

Monthly + Commission (3 Vehicles Sold "None were delivered personally") = V$3,466.67 + V$2,400

= V$5,866.67

This Months Funds

V$11,260.67

Expenditure:

OEM (E24) BMW M Technic Steering Wheel : V$250

Remainder : V$11,010.67

Now this can fuel some builds some minor stuff and probably buy a new car, I'm in the process of parting out my FRS to street her up, I'm not selling it, but I am moving away from the stance life and making use of that LS1's power.

I had the camber completely decreased and the car lifted to the stock height, I got rid of the stock wheels and traded them for these Focus ST rims which right now are place holders. I'm putting the BBS RS's for sale to buy street and race oriented rims.

So I'm keeping the FRS a "Showcar" but a street monster, this time with something to prove.

The makeover shall commence.

Now on to the M3 the only performance modification so far was the installation of the coilovers which are doing their job well,I painted my rims black with some paint cans I had lying around and I got a new steering wheel, one from a (E24) M 635 CSi, just for a bit of flare and to make my M3 a bit different.

My signature car just needs to get some minor work done, but nothing much.

Other than that I didn't spend much money, this month I will be making some major investments.

There's this one car I want to own and it's a lot of money to buy it so I have to start filling my dream jar.

EXOTI1CSTANCE

You should put Some Enkei RPF1's on the FRS

It's been awhile.

Lately I've been spending a lot of time driving the E36 around and I have been swamped with a lot of shit as well, figuratively speaking.

I did get time to go to Willow Springs for a Track Day and I did enjoy myself.

I'm also in a bit of conflict, I think it's time I buy a new 240sx get rid of the old one and start on a clean slate there's nothing much I could do with the current one since it's cherry's been popped and it hasn't really served it's purpose.

So looks like I'm gonna have to say goodbye, and go 40 hunting.

The FRS has been sitting in the garage picking up dust I did sell it's BBS's, so I'm weary about what I'm gonna do with it, to fill my creative void I took a page out of DriftPhantom's book and I bought this:

2002 Acura RSX Type-S

Mileage: 155,812 miles
Engine: K20A2
Transmission: 6-Speed Manual
Exterior Color: Grey
Interior Color: Black
Condition: Decent

I got the car fairly cheap for V$4,000 after searching for a cheap one on Craigslist, luckily there was no shady dealings and I am confident in my purchase.

So now there are a lot of things I can do, but what I did do, was slap some stickers on it.

So now time to get creative.

Drag build mate it would be something new since you rarely see it

Sleepin_mOnkey

If it is to be new build make the engine power the rear wheels.LOL

EXOTI1CSTANCE

Yeah do something unique and rare that is uncommon compared to other people's builds Like a RWD DC5 would be awesome but what engine tho

Sleepin_mOnkey

i think is easy if he go with AWD using an CR-V transmission and reworking the diffs to turn he into a 4WD.

Driftphantom

Going to be watching this build closely sweet find for 4 grand! If you need any tips or help om the build don't hesitate to call me up!

Hmm that can work.

# Sleepin mOnkey :

It is possible to make it permanent AWD, the few forums I checked, some guys use the CRV 04' Trans and the Evo 4G63 diff and driveline or the S2000's diff so that could be possible, the ratios might be a problem but I'll look more into it.

Let's get hurr done.

Now it's been a while since I bought the RSX and I'm enjoying the bitch, sadly I sold the 240 for V$9,000, it was pretty hard coming to the fact it was gone but it's gonna be put to good use with it's new owner.

I am gonna buy another one and go a simpler route this time, that's if I find one in good condition.

I did keep some stuff off it, like the Work Meisters and the Nardi Wheel, other than that, everything is gone.

I put them on the RSX and how it sits right now I like it, I may have to get a coilover kit though, got some more stickies and I slapped on them shits on, I feel like such a ricer but fuck it.

Thanks I will take you up on that offer.

Prepare to make room.

PART 1 : Planning Stage

So to start off the build, I'm currently planning out what I want to do and parts I need, being a K-Series Motor these parts aren't going to be cheap.
I am planning to build it as a drag/street car. To kick start it I bought these:

Hoosier Quick Time Pros 26.0" x 11.50" and 15"x 11" Weld S71 Drag Rims.

I don't have enough power to use them anyway.

So right now there is some cutting I need to do to able to run these without rubbing, some clearance and proper suspension would be necessary.
From what I have in mind goes as follows;

Parts List wrote
(Not fully complete)

NIPPON RACING RSX Pistons
BlackWorks Oil Catch Can Kit
K-Series Competition Head
K Tuned Ram Style Exhaust Manifold
Skunk2 Tuner Cams Stage 2
Ultimate Jackson Racing Supercharger
K Tuned Fuel Rail
1150CC Grams Perfomance Fuel Injectors
Exedy Stage 2 Clutch Kit

Honestly a shit load of parts.

This is gonna be a long project but....

Let's get it done.

Daaang all your cars look SWEET man! You keep up the good work! And Ohh, I kinda miss my 4 cylinder 318is, Looked like a M3 on the outside but was slooow... Well Good luck!

David_2709

damn I'm stoked for this build! Would love to see more drag cars

Lagano

I see that you want a lot of engine upgrades for a drag car, so i can help you to get some parts! I know a shop in Tokyo that has all the things you'll need, it might not be cheap but it's surely the right choice for serious power. 🙂
