Hey everyone! I'm 1llum1nate, and I currently live in Las Vegas, located in the state of Nevada. On this thread, I intend to keep y'all updated on my upcoming builds. Speaking of which, I haven't got anything in the works at the moment, however stay tuned to see what I'll have in store in the near future.

Yeah man she needs a coat of paint for sure lol. I know the Soarer had some cool ass colors maybe take a look at the old toyota catalogs

SC300s are pretty cool, yours is no exception. Deffo needs some paint tho

Last pic of the SC with the dusty Imperial Jade + polyurethane combo.

Drove the SC out to NorCal and dropped it off at a shop called JAV Customs, run by a guy known as "Twinkie". Judging by that nickname, I figured he liked Twinkies, so threw in a pack of those. While I'm in Cali, if anyone wants to link up and encourage me to make more financial mistakes, hmu.

Gas: -V$50
Pack of Twinkies: -V$3
Bottle of Jagermeister: -V$17
Current balance: V$11700

Well, the wait is over. I believe the color's called "Burnt Mocha", and I'm beyond stoked with the result. I'll be in Cali for a couple more days to pick up a few goodies, which may or may not include a new motor for the SC B) so stay tuned.

Paint: -V$2250 (JAV Customs)
Paycheck(s): +V$750
Current balance: V$10200

Woah yes love the final product! :-X
Unique and robust colour of choice as well. Quite calm and not standing out too much but definitely tasty and unusual :cheers:

Thanks man! It's a pretty underrated color in my opinion.

So eeeeer... a lot has changed in the past month (apologies for the lack of updates). I was initially planning on motor swapping the SC, however I realized it wouldn't be ideal in terms of reliability and whatnot so I sold it instead. I ended up getting a decent deal for a Daytona Blue '07 350Z, which came with the more desirable VQ35HR motor for those of you that don't know. In the meantime, I picked up some Tein coilovers, slammed the Z, and threw on the Equips I previously had on the SC.

I'm liking how the Z's sitting right now, pretty crazy how much of a difference coilovers and wheels make, aye?

Paycheck(s): +V$1500
SC300: +V$5000
350Z: -V$5500
Tein coilovers (Andys Auto Sport): -V$912
Current Balance: V$10288

Welp sad that the SC went away, but the 350Z is a fresh replacement and I love it! And having the VQ-HR instead of the VQ-DE engine is an icing on the cake :cheers:

Snagged a Nismo bumper for a pretty good price, just need to figure out what front bumper and skirts to get.

Paycheck(s): +V$375
Nismo rear bumper: -V$600
Current balance: V$10073

Swing check.

She's a little quiet, could do with a Tomei perhaps?

As someone who uses some Tomei parts on the daily-racer car, I'd say DO IT! 😃
