StratoWolf Keller Garage, Leipzig 6:47AM Before we even entered the garage we saw this. I could hear the distinct sound of a turbocharged V8 coming from that E500 So my friend told us we were late. I kinda forgot about the Germans punctuality but he was okay with it since we just arrived into Germany. First we were greeted by two pretty wide looking cars First was his Nissan Silvia S13 drift car The second was his Corolla Levin race car, he uses the car to run the Nurburgring against other garages in the area. In the garage he was working on a Civic to compete in a rally in the outskirts of the city There was also his other drift car; a BMW 325i E30 There was also his stanced out Audi S4 that is basically undrivable! Jk it's air suspension. There was also his U L T R A W I D E 993 Carrera RS with a custom front bumper and RWB kit The final two cars are some oddballs The Ascona was a very subtle looking car, which was appropriate with the engine that was packing. A 4A-GZE! There's also a M3 E36 which looks normal. Except with the RB25DET NEO under the bonnet! I know I've seen this kind of work before and that was the moment I met him. It was Juan! He's under Witness Protection under a new identity. (OORP: This has been heavily taxing on my computer and took me a week to make)
StratoWolf # radcoon : Some sick cars over there man. Wonder why they did all this Jap swaps. Long story short. The Ascona was a rolling shell and the E36's original engine was damaged beyond repair
StratoWolf Keller is pretty good around cars. So he has invited me to the Leipzig-Dresden Rally. So I now have to look for a car
StratoWolf Sterlyn Keller's place, Leipzig, Germany. Friday, 6th September, 8:40AM Here's a refresher for what I did for the past two weeks. I was looking for a car to compete in the rally. It wasn't until Thursday when I found this in a barn near the Autobahn A Corolla Levin. Likely an import. I don't know how it ended up in this sorry state. It felt depressing to just leave it there, it so I got Keller to tow it back to his place. But not before the rear bumper decided to rot off on the way. But yeah this car will likely be my new rally car project. The only problem is that the rally is in November so we only have a month to restore and modify the car. Keller said he will get Juan to help but the whole project will be kept outside of his official business.
StratoWolf There was a field so that could be plausible. That doesn't explain the partially collapsed rear suspension
Aylxth # StratoWolf : There was a field so that could be plausible. That doesn't explain the partially collapsed rear suspension Hmm, possible less rough surface?
StratoWolf Progress: The engine is not in a shoddy condition so it'll need a partial rebuild and Sterlyn's got it covered. The new suspension has been ordered. Some Tein stuff nothing special. The interior needs a strip-down and a clean New wheels And the bodywork will be the last priority
StratoWolf So the engine rebuild is currently underway, I'll get to ordering the suspension components. Spoiler: Paycheck (summed up from 3 weeks) +V€2,820 Total: V€45,146
StratoWolf It's done! It now has a gold/piss colour and a better engine ready for tonight's rally. Interior is completely stripped down. The new transmission is a quick ratio gearbox. (Thank you, Sterlyn!) Got some Rota P45Rs, with proper tyres. I went for a final test run as the sun went down. But now it's time for the rally. Wish me luck. Will put prices when it's done
snn475san I would suggest smaller wheels with fatter tyres for rally purposes! But car is looking good,i like it.
StratoWolf # snn475san : I would suggest smaller wheels with fatter tyres for rally purposes! But car is looking good,i like it. It's a bit late for that 😛 It's done! And I'm pretty worn out from that event. I need some sleep. Sterlyn will keep in touch for another event coming up. I'll post what went down later.
