Well, same thing as on GOM 😃
I'll do tha kick-off

This is my MK2 project
I bought it like this:

By the way, the 1st owner was Roli

The 1st thing i bought where new rimzzzz from Grudas, he dont need them anymore

Then i decided to make it a project car, so i started to get rid of al parts
My " brother from another mother " Jag, helped me with it.

Including the trims on the side

Then i sanded the car, with a little help from Daniel

When done that terible job, i started painting, Franco was helping me with painting

Done !!

Then Diego came by and had a little presenst for me (Thanks Diego)

Then Jaziba called me, a friend of him had a spare fender that the guy was throwing away, and Jaz brought it to
my Garage

Sprayed and attached

Then Cj come by to help me with the suspension and stuff
Before:

After Cj put his hands on it:

i sold Grudas his ex-rims and bought new one from NoiseBomb

When attached every part, with the help from Mr.Stance a.k.a. Hudas, it was time for a pic on the street

But a couple of weeks later, my rims where stolen !, damnit! i think it was RScosworthfan101, you bastard !
So i bought new rims, yes....again...
Oh...sorry, i bought them from Morphy.
And Acyd, also know as Dennis made some license plates for me.
So here are my latest picture on the Franco-champs meeting 😛

Figured I'd try to bring this thread back to life...

In search of a competition drift car build (svt focus is my daily driver..another story later). I swung by Valo City Used Autos and got a good deal on a really low mileage s14.

After getting it back to the shop, we already planned on stripping it down so we proceeded as planned.

Considering the wheels w/ tires and body were in good shape (motor was knocking so we parted it and sold what we could) we sold them off to add money the to build. We did manage to wrangle together some old steel wheels and some tires, and get the new body panels on.

While waiting on the wheels and to hear back from sunrise jdm motors about our motor, we quickly started working on the suspension and steering components. For the suspension we donated the old factory Nissan struts and springs.

We went with a full Tein Sideways Master set-up (shocks, springs, braces, ect). Swapped out the old 2 piston Wilwood calipers for a 6 piston Brembo set-up.

The next day we primed the car for paint. Our wheels came in later that day a set of Rotiform IND's w/ Yokohama S Drive (D-spec) Tires.

After about 3 days, we finally heard back from sunrise about the sr-20 we inquired about, the conversation went, "....sorry to say we couldn't get a hold of that motor for you at the moment, but you can definitely check back with us." Before the call ended the guy asked if we were interested in doing an RB swap. Long story short...3 days later, and still within our budget...

Got the exhaust custom built in-house and had a Battle Z muffler from from an earlier build.

Of course our spoiler got there just in time for paint. Later the roll cage was welded up and painted.

Hi,I'm new here and this is my first post.

I'm sorry for my bad english

This is my Mark III.

I've put in it a VR6 2,9l engine.After that I've bought a suspension,some OEM wheels with stretched tyres.

A wild air-ride suspension appeared.

Last update was a set of Keskin Kt1.
Ignore the failed fish-eye effect

Well, a bit late ^^

Carefull, long!<

So, i bought this little Silverado.
It was a great working truck 🙂

After some time, i decided to rip it off to tune it a bit.

So it got a new set of nice chromed steel rims 🙂

Plus some new bumpers, and a bullbar.

Well, the old eyes got boring, so i took them off, and built in new ones.

For a cooler look i tinted the rear window.

To complete it, i purchased a nice supercharger, which gave it a lot of extra power! From around 230 to over 450 HP!

After all this, some little suspension tunings, and it was done.

Greets 🙂
