Hello All! I am Nic (screen name Driftphantom) down here in sunny California. Fresh out of university, I work in an office as ordinary desk jockey. After a few weeks of searching for a good daily, I settled on this mint 02 VW Bora v6 with 87,500 miles. This was a garage kept car all its life, so the paint and interior are pretty good nick. This car came out to V$6,400 which may have been a little pricy but oh well haha. 3/12/16- Purchased Car Spoiler: Year: 2002 Make: VW Model: Bora v6 Trans: MT

Hell yeah haha I called him last night to see if I could start the STI v Evo rivalry over the phone lol after a few more adjustments on the s2000 I will start a "minor" build on this bad boy to make it an STI killer!

The Evo and S2000 are looking good my man! Oh, by the way; I might have somebody come down to your shop and take a look at the S14 if that's alright.

((OOC: PC issues. I'd really prefer not the rebuild the S14 again.))

5/4/17- Updates!

Hey guys so working at The Art of Wheels shop, in my free time i was able to slide in a rebuild for my own wheels. Instead of being keeping the 18x10s, I was able to pickup another inch by increasing the lip size, Bringing the specs over to 18x11 -5 all around. The camber has been adjusted again as well, running double digits all around 😃 I know you guys hate it lol.

As you can see, the faces got powder coated gloss black, keeping the lips the same. Loving the setup so far!

PS: Oh yeah, updates coming on the evo and the financials shortly!

Driftphantom

Thank you all for the kind words! the s2bae isn't done yet, she still has a lot more transformations to go through lol

5/8/17- Back in the shop??

Yeah that is right, The s2000 is back in the shop lol. She is going in for another color flop haha but the new color is a secret shhhh.

The AP2 bumper and lip combo was getting a little worn out, so I went out and picked up a little present... a Club racer front bumper in berlina black. This was not an easy find, and the unfortunate truth is that it is off a wrecked CR but it will live on with this project!

OH yeah.. I didn't forget about the EVO... She will get hers soon 😃

You get used to dodging potholes lol plus this isn't the daily driver, So I don't worry about it nearly as much 🙂)

5/16/17- Crashed... And Another honda??

Yeah you read the title right, about 4 days ago we lost the Evo. I was sitting in traffic on the interstate southbound when I Chevy Tahoe didn't brake in time and smashed the rear to pieces.. I am Super fortunate to get out with just bumps and bruises. Since the car was already a Rebuilt title car, it was best to finally put it to rest and total it out. Fear not though, With my insurance I was able to pick up this:

That's right boys, we got another honda. This Ej1 is in really good condition. The body is perfectly straight, and the previous owner claims that it has been garage kept since they picked it up in 05. This looks like a good car for racing..

5/18/17- New engine, new shoes!

Update on the non s2000! Yes that's right the ej2 is getting some love today. I had to get rid of the D motor, and Green Slip was able to hook me up with a K24a2. Stupid me didn't forgot to take picture of the bay.

I did get a picture of the new wheels and tyres though.. say hell to the new TE37SLs wrapped in Toyo R888 tires. They may be a little much for 200hp for now, but we aren't done with the new motor yet. In addition, this Car now sits on BC BR series coilovers.
