V$ Renaruto's Bizzare Adventure

Renaruto · 2016-08-31T09:36:59+00:00

What is up guys, I'm Lennart a.k.a Renaruto, I'm 21 years old and I live in a town called Osnabrück located in Niedersachsen, Germany. At the moment I have a normal office job at a relativley big print shop. I just finished my apprenticeship and offically started working there. Since I started my apprenticeship I saved up a lot of money for my first car. 20.000$ to be exact which might sound rediculous but I actually managed to keep it. Right now I only have my bike and the busses to get around

How to slide Miata? I can't get it to slide at all!

Jdm_Racer

Maybe can be your suspension setup

WoodlandFrosty

Any tips on suspension setups and stuff?

# marcus915 :

Thanks m8 :3

Hmm... From what if seen your Miata should be fine to drift since you have a welded diff.. Maybe try to get some camber on the front. That could help. 🙂

What happens to your car when you try to drift it WoodlandFrosty? Does it like have body roll, does it just not kick the rear out, or what?

Raise the rear tyres pressure and strenght up the rear also helps a lot

Renaruto

Ohhhhh yessssss... I'm in the final stages of getting the 240 up and running! It may not be complete body wise but I just wanna get to finally drive it.. Just have to get it registered and it's good to go! 😃

I've also done some final changes to it. First of all I sold the old steering wheel to WoodlandFrosty for 90$! 🙂
Because of that I had to get a new one obviously. So I bought a used Nardi Deep Corn wheel for 230$ + 30$ for a boss kit.

I also bought Marcus' used Type X valances for 400$ 😛

So.. The next steps are:

- Get it registered
- Get a wing (I really wanna get a Type X wing)
- Get it painted (not gonna tell what color :3)

Finances: 4852$ + 90$ sold steering wheel - 260$ for used wheel and boss kit - 400$ Type X rear valances = 4282$

P.S. I'm still selling some old parts from the 240 and Miata. Look them up on the used car parts shop thread 😛

Jdm_Racer

an Ductail or the 326 power wing will fit nice at yours 180

It's amazingly terrifing how fast your life can change..

So as you might have seen I'm very happy with how both of my cars where going. I was very happy about my Miata when I first got it. I always wanted to get one as my first car.. And I've got one. But we already have to say goodbye.

I was just getting home from work when suddenly a friend called me and invited me to a little chilled out evening with some other friends. It was all good we had a good night. But then something happened on the way back home.

There was a guy in a silver metallic E46 comming in way too hot from the right of a t-junction, hitting the front right side of my Miata. Weirdly enough, I haven't felt anything on the impact because everything happened really fast. The last thing I noticed that he was driving away. Hit and run. Sht. I called the police and asked them for help. Bad thing is that I haven't seen his plates. I'm basically fcked tbh. No I haven't got any injuries which is good. But I don't know who f*cked up my car.

This is bad. I don't know what to do with it now. Basically everything in the front except for the engine is destroyed. Had to get it towed to my garage. 42$ for that..

Finances: 4282$ - 42$ tow costs = 4240$

Sheet boii that's bad 🙁 but like you can buy a new miata and get the parts from the rekt miata to another one

Well.. It would be a cool project.. But I don't know.. I have to "finish up" my 240. And for some reason I would love to get another project car..

Lagano

Why do all the good cars crash?! (including my Mazda 😛)

You got lucky tho, you can still use the engine, and the hood looks intact, so it's not so bad.

(I crashed there once as well, when i didn't know the grass is made out of concrete 🙂) )

marcus915

It sucks that your Miata is fucked..I know the feeling of wrecking first cars (quite literally and i said it myself so kys smokiegun/dxg1997).

At least you made it out unharmed, if you need to finish your 240 you could sell the motor for a good amount of money and part out whatever's good on the car and see if you can make a killing on that.

Jdm_Racer

The importantis that you are fine bro.Bad that you sick miata got screwed.

Renaruto

Thanks mates! Only got some slight bruses on my arm and a slight headache. But everything is okay.. :rolleyes:

And to Marcus. I'm actually gonna do that. Gonna part out everything thats good and either see if it fits on the 240 or sell it. :3

So if anyone is interested in a NA8C that ran about 150.000km you can let me know.

Added 1 hour 10 minutes later:

So... We pulled the Miata into garage and started parted out some stuff.

I'm gonna sell every part of this thing. Except the wheels, brake calipers and the seats. You guys can let me know if you see anything that you need.
Gonna write something on the used parts thread for more infos on the parts.

Not gonna sell the chassis/shell when everything is gone. The chassis is completely bent in the front. Oh well..

Renaruto

Hmm.. I'm still really sad about the Miata.. It was such a great car.. But atleast I could take some of the parts and install them on the 240! 🙂
So far I only sold the white hardtop to WoodlandFrosty for 525$. And I also installed the red Bride Zetas and the 350z Brembos on the 240.

I also got myself an awesome, genuine Type X wing for 600$.. So much money but it just looks so awesome :3 Bought some stickers for 45$ bucks and made myself a little banner! 🙂

But now the best thing - I finally got it registered! I'm using the old plates of the Miata so the text on there didn't change. 😛

As you can see I went out to "Mexico" again and my friend took some awesome shots again! 😛

^The banner that I talked about. It says "Renaruto ~ Low ~ Style" because why not :v

That's it for now. Only thing that I have to do for now is to get it painted. Ayy.

Finances: 4240$ + 525$ sold hardtop to WoodlandFrosty - 600$ Type X Wing - 45$ stickers = 4120$

That looks totally JDM now! But you should really get it painted, it can't look like an average S13 missile. 😛

Well that's the plan! 😛 I just love the kind-off old school, japanese tuning era 😃

I'm also talking to some dudes that can help me getting it painted.. Maybe tomorrow already 😉

Renaruto

This is probably the first time where I was really hyped for a monday! 😛 Because the 240 is finally getting some paint! 🙂

My friend actually knows a dude with a small paint shop. We asked if it would be okay if we use one of his paint booths and he said yes. So I drove the 240 over there and began to dismantle everything that is gonna get painted. I even took out the engine. Because I wanted to go full-out with this project 😉

So after hours of removing several parts, sanding and priming we could finally paint the engine bay (and the rear just for the lolz) in a really special color - ultra violet. Almost the same color as RWB Furusato 😛

Even painted the cylinder head cover :3

So overall this was a really successful day! We even started painting the other body panels but I'm not showing that yet. 😛

Finances: 4120$ + 565$ paycheck - 450$ paint = 4235$

marcus915

240 is really coming along now!
